The main idea in the provocative London Sunday Times article is that the foremost cultural critic Camille Paglia demolished the controversial pop star Lady Gaga.
Paglia talks about how much of what Lady Gaga performs is almost the same as fellow pop star Madonna. She talks about how Madonna was the heir to Marlene Dietrich. She then compares Gaga performances and how for Gaga, sex is decor and surface. She compared Gaga to a laminated piece of ersatz rococo furniture. Paglia also goes to call out Gaga’s sexiness as saying in the 5th paragraph of the article “despite showing acres of pallid flesh in a fetish-bondage garb of urban prostitution” . She then compares her to gangly marionette or plasticised android.
