BenJen's Blog

Welcome to my blog. A place where you may not find consistency, but where you will find various rants and irrelevant anecdotes, and 'witty' text on the subject of whatever crops up into a poor student's mind.
Please, do try to enjoy it... Constructive criticism is more than welcomed.

Have a nice day now, chaps and chappettes.

Warning: May contain traces of football, video games, and musical ramblings... It's mostly the latter, in truth.

My Music Guilty Pleasures: #6

Lady Gaga - You & I



You may have heard of this lady before. She's sort of famous in some places. Boy oh boy oh boy, does Lady Gaga divide opinion. I'm tempted to say she's a 'Marmite' artist, but my own opinion of her spoils the analogy. It does seem that most people either love her or hate her, but me personally? I don't mind her. I think she's decent but that'll do. The eccentric image is what puts many people off, although the sleazy pop potentially doesn't help either. The way I see it, there's no denying that she's got some damn good and damn catchy hits to her name, even if they may not be technically complex or entirely original. I can definitely see why Madonna's a little pissed off...but I don't care, because I hate Madonna. I fear that I may have strayed off topic a little...but hopefully my diversion has been  enough to not upset any 'Little Monsters'. That's 'fans', to you and I...see what I did there? Yeah, you did. You & I is the only Gaga song I would say that I really do genuinely like, but I really do genuinely like it. It's a far more rock oriented sounding tune, and it's all the better for it. Furthermore it features the one and only Brian May of Queen fame on guitar. I firmly believe this to be a truly underrated American rock anthem/ballad, despite the fact that obviously it's still achieved a hefty degree of fame (see what I did there? Okay, I'll shut up...) in its short time on Earth.
