The Arabs now have their wannabe version of Lady Gaga in the form of a Syrian guy who calls himself Lord Gaga (because he’s a guy).
I don’t watch this show nor do I want to, especially after this, but Lord Gaga actually trended on Twitter yesterday.
And what’s worse? I’ll just let you watch the video and see what the judges decided.
If this is what talent is nowadays…. I really don’t know what to say.

HAHA, thats funny
but whats good, he’s no professional and he got the moves from the videos.
I’d like to see what “better-than-gaga” will he produce
And one thing i know, Lady Gaga is never taken seriously in the arab world. THE WOMAN HAS DONE GREAT THINGS IN THE US but they still think of her as a freak-show here

There’s nothing good about this!
I think Lady Gaga is very overrated. Not a fan.

you’re not asked to, but (even though she have touched SENSITIVE issues) she has helped people through her music and fame; aid japan and now her BTW foundation.

Most famous people do that. Lots of them do it without many knowing.

yeah (and i will contradicting myself now) they mostly do it to run away from a certain type of taxes.

Donations are not taxed. But them giving away their money defeats the purpose of running away from taxes, no? 😛

sure, but but if there is no such reason, few would consider donating or making an NGO for a certain cause they support.
Lots of artists now have an NGO for themselves: shakira, lady gaga,..
and there are corporations that have NGOs they own or support, and thats apart from the CSR that every corporation is running to integrate.
well, thats off the subject of the post, excuse me :$

Haha yeah going off topic :p
But the point is: you give your money away. You’re not using that money. Who cares if it has taxes or not?

Their marketing tactic is a little too obvious…they let him through because they anticipated the buzz he would bring to the show…which is sad because they’re showing audiences what they regard as talent = making a complete ass of yourself…
and even sadder because the show is a global format = international audiences are waiting to see what Arabs got to offer….
one chick attempts to perform the classic solo from Chicago…completely destroys it…I actually thought they would make fun of her (which is expected from these shows) instead they act like it’s the first time they see a performance from a musical and let her through… i’m sorry but the girl was really bad…out of tune..no performance talent whatsoever…and i think this reflects ignorance on the judges’ part….
then again, you can turn around and say: it’s “Arabs got talent” since we’re used to underminding any imitation of the west.

I don’t watch the show but they kept him around for laughs and, as you said, they were sure people would talk about him, which we are.

Poor guy came out to the world before coming out to himself. I feel so bad for him
The judges are obviously all making fun of him. I think they voted yes just to have another laugh…

I don’t think people care about that. He just made a fool of himself and now he thinks he’s got talent.
