Lady Gaga does anime-eyes in Japan, for charity: busted or awesome?
Here are some photos of Lady Gaga in Japan over the weekend, where she performed at the MTV Video Music Aid Japan concert, which raised money for the Japanese Red Cross. Gaga has done a lot to raise money for Japanese relief and rebuilding funds in the wake of the March tsunami, which left so much of Japan devastated. Before we talk about how Gaga is a good person for focusing so much energy on Japanese relief funds, can we talk about her “eyes� When I first saw the photos, I thought she had actually attached something ON TOP of her eyes to make them look like those big-eyed girls from anime and manga that the Japanese embrace. But Gaga achieved the look with makeup, I think. She just did the “big eye†look on her eyelids, and THEN SHE KEPT HER EYES SHUT. The entire time.
Gaga not only performed, she did a press conference (video below) where she discussed her struggles (although I think she’s still telling some lies about what it was like for her to grow up in Manhattan, but whatever), and she says that her own struggles made her understand that people should “Never give up on the dream of Japan; never give up on the dream of its people; and never give up on the dream of the future.†A lovely sentiment, which Gaga said WITH HER EYES CLOSED. She’s… crazy…? Or is she just trying too hard? Or should we give her credit for really believing in a look and working to pull it off? Eh.

She kept her eyes closed and she wore those ridiculous shoes?
I even had a dream last night about trying on a pair of Lady Gaga type heels and I was like “How does she manage to walk in these? They hurt like hell!â€
Of course it was a dream, but I can’t imagine walking in those heels to be comfortable!

GOD I HATE THIS CHICK. SHE CAN’T BE ORIGINAL FOR EVEN ONE MINUTE OF HER LIFE.
SHE DIDN’T EVEN DO IT CORRECTLY - WHO DOES ANIME EYES WITH BLACK IRISES???!!!
I WISH SHE WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR.

She has been lucky she hasn’t broken her ankles with those ridiculous shoes she wears. I think Lady Gaga just likes to entertain and people already expect something outrageous from her. She could make a bundle of money if she sells those outfits for charity, she won’t be wearing them again anyway.

i think the eyes are fun and for sure Japanese loves it! Too much hatred people, She did it for her fans! If you see crazy anime costumes in Japan, they are more crazy then hers! But then, shes Lady Gaga.

She did the anime eyes before and considering the area I think the criticism is silly, there’s a level of eccentricity celebrated in Japan which is just pouted on over here.
Gwen Stefani shined a bit of a spotlight on the Harajuku fashion over here. Besides…are people really surprised by makeup compared to the time she wore head to toe lace covering everything including her face?

Happy Halloweenâ€"could she get any uglier? She is a huge joke.

Used to like her a lot, but it’s too much now. Her constant alterations have become banal and uninteresting. Gaga says that she’s a student of fame and media mastery, but she has no idea how burned out everyone is with her image.
Even the Queen of pop, Madonna, takes breaks and doesn’t bombard the media with ridiculous outfits, etc. Girl needs to go back to school and learn a few more lessons cause she’s not going to have the longevity of Madge.

Talking about gaga and japan:
“Gaga sued over alleged charity scam… Lady Gaga charges $5 for a “We Pray for Japan†wristband, another $3.99 for shipping and handling and $0.60 for tax. The lawsuit alleges that Gaga got greedy by inflating the shipping cost and pocketing the extra and refusing to disclose how much of the $5 actually goes to the Japanese victims.â€

Yeah, my only real complaint is it was done wrong. The eyes should be smaller and you still need eyebrows to frame the look.

Still find her entertaining as long as she doesn’t speak. Then I inevitably want to smack her.

What an idiot. She always needs to have a look hat screams out how unique and different she is. What she needs is some heavy duty therapy and a podiatrist.

LOVE THE EYES!!!! Gaga isn’t the first to do this, there is a tutorial on Youtube by a very talented young woman who goes by the screen name “myeyeshadowisoddâ€, which is “My eyeshadow is odd†with no spaces, on how to do this…it would make a great Halloween look but I gotta applaud Gaga for wearing this look on a red carpet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGhfgQwb90Q if you want to see a compilation of Gaga falling on her ass. Made my day for sure.
Never liked her, never will and I sincerely hope that soon everyone will realise her relevance has never been there and never will.

What are you folks? Dried-up old farts who’ve forgotten how to play and have fun? She’s doing her thing (whatever that may be) having a blast and making money.
She’s not doing anything different than Alice Cooper, KISS (in their heyday), Bowie, Slipknot, Gwar or anyone else with a gimmick in the business. All the aforementioned never made any public appearance without their schtick or in Bowie’s case, personas that he lived 24/7.
Mabye this is just who she is like Nina Hagen, Lena Lovitch, Prince, Boy George or Grace Jones and simply “weird.†Again, so what.
And a copycat? Cripes all of the above could be said to have “copied†Little Richard, Josephine Baker, Gay or punk subculture, the horror film genre, religious/occult themes and incorporated it into what they do and how they present(ed) themselves.
Why does GaGa bother you so much? She’s not working in your frigging bank, she’s a performer, an entertainer and doing very well at.
If you don’t like her don’t listen to her music, don’t look at her. She’s popular but not exactly ubiquitous, so there’s always something else to occupy your attention with.
Go throw on some glitter and lighten the hell up already.

ENOUGH! Please, just stop now! Is this woman so insecure about her music and abilities that she feels this constant need to distract with her crazy outfits? If she wants to be a singer, then she needs to focus on her music and not on looking ridiculous. Same goes for Rhianna.

gaga isn’t the first artist to be wacky and she won’t be the last. elton john, david bowie, peter gabriel, etc. all embraced the glamrock look but as an aspect of performing, not the entire thing. and when they dropped the goofy costumes they could, because they had real talent to back it up. 30 years later, these artists are still around. madonna in her early days was pretty outrageous, but she always did it with a wink and made it fun. that’s something that seems to be missing with gaga -she’s so humorless.

Mia, it’s because of those shoes that she kept her eyes shut!

Hmmm. . . I quite like her and am still entertained by her eccentricities and flamboyance. You all say how unoriginal she is, but you don’t see that many outrageously unconventional looking people at one time. (I guess I still haven’t gotten enough of it.)

Enough already. Seriously. She is grasping at straws for ideas isn’t she.

AAAAHHHH! That is what my nightmares are going to look like for the next few weeks. Anyways, at least she’s interesting. I always click on a link with her because I’m never bored. I wish she would stand up a bit straighter. She has terrible posture. God, I sound like my mother.
