She is an entertainer but I dont think she deserves to be called an artist. In an attempt to produce "meaningful" and "thought-provoking" songs, her lyrics just end up completely messed up (has anyone actually LISTENED to the lyrics of "Judas"?). I wrote a college paper in which I discussed "Judas" (particularly the video clip which is chock-a-block with religious symbolism), and the religious references themselves have no real function lyrically or metaphorically. She just uses religion because she knows its going to get a rise out of people and not because she truly believes its an analogy for her "dark past". Lady Gaga will not be remembered as a great artists like the ones she copies (most prominently Madonna, David Bowie, Elton John, Cher)... rather, she will be remembered as little more than a conceptual art prank.

all these people expecting japan to make an official apology against their war crimes... let me ask, how many of you are americans? show me a handful of decent american war films where american soldiers ARENT portrayed as the divinely-sanctioned saviours of the universe and then maybe i will take you seriously.

ive never quite understood this craziness around taylor swift... i certainly dont hate her by any means, but she doesnt have the greatest voice, her lyrics (though relatable for 13 year old girls) arent the most creative, her tunes are catchy but by no means 'genius', rather it seems her only redeeming quality is that she's... nice.

kurumazaka: her father is not american nor was marie raised in SoCal. her father is french-canadian and works/worked for the japanese division of a large french oil company. marie debuted as a 'celebu-dol' and was labelled the paris hilton of japan because of her family's wealth. marie herself studied in chicago during middle school but other than that has lived in jaapn her whole life. so yes, it is correct to say her english is middle school level at best, though if you read her blog, sometimes her english is absolutely incomprehensible.
and parson's is just famous as the school which produced marc jacobs and alexander wang, im not sure it deserves this 'harvard of fashion' status.

didnt she already have her post-pregnancy comeback a year ago? and that went down the toilet so she disappeared off the new york or whatever.
shes also starring in some c-grade sequel to an anime spin-off ('garo' or something). i wish her well, but i dont think she actually has any fans left. her fanbase was what, 85% male who liked her hot-single-and-american image. now shes divorced with a kid. hopefully it all works out for her though.

lol @ people saying how these girls are great singers. goo hara was recently voted as one of the worst singers in korea by a korean newspaper. and isnt this the group where the leader refers to herself and asks others to call her 'goddess'? shes very pretty, but a goddess? not yet, sweetheart.

this has really broken my heart. i remember watching a show that followed her back to her home town and she was so close with her family, her parents seemed like such lovely people even though they struggled financially (and its not like miyu could support them very much on a talent's wage). this is really sad, i remember thinking she was so cute. may she rest in peace, i hope that wherever she is now she is no longer in pain.
