Who Is Lady Gaga's Audience?

Lady Gaga, five time Grammy award winner. Is known for her extravagant clothing and odd performances that keeps people talking about how she is living in a fantasy. Lady Gaga wants to be known for her unique style and especially wants to impress her fans. She said that she believes that anyone and everyone have the privilege to change the world and that "Pop culture is our religion" (Lady Gaga). In a typical mainstream video women are dancing and men typically are not. But in Gaga’s videos men are half dressed wearing usually heels or strange clothing not manly men would not wear.

So is Gaga looking to reach out to certain viewers like the gay community? Or is she being misunderstood? Lady Gaga has a large fan based of the gay community but she is not just expressing that it is okay to be gay or lesbian but more, as you should love yourself for whom you are. But not all people who listen to Lady Gaga are just gay or lesbian. When you listen to her music you do not picture what her video would consist of until you witnessed her music videos. Lady Gaga is an artistic music artist and she expresses her view of art in her videos and not something vague but outside the box. Why is the way she expresses herself more adored by the gay community and seen as "odd" and "strange" by the straight community? I have witnessed a group of gay males who adore lady Gaga but they see her as not caring about how she expresses herself and how she respects anyone for who they are and how she expresses it in her song "Born this way"".

Her videos portray that not only are women dancers but men as well. Though Lady Gaga will continue to impress us she will continue to express how men and women are equal and not just see women as the sex object in the video. Gaga's uniqueness and extravagant style seems to be rubbing off on other artist like Nicki Minaj and Christina Aguilera. Not only is Lady Gaga will continue to change our view of what music videos are like rather than the average video but more as an artistic video.
