SIGNS: Walk Much? Lady Gaga Takes Another Spill On Stage
This is a continuation from Blog Entry #3830698 about people claiming that Lada Gaga's "Born This Way" is really just taken from "Express Yourself" by Madonna.
In terms of timing, I'd say the way that Lady Gaga is now seen falling on stage coincides with the confilct regarding Madonna. They say in the article that she's having issues with "Gravity."
1) Gravity = G-Ra/VI(T)Y
2) G = 7th Letter = 7th Sign = Libra = Venus = Female
3) Ra = Egyptian Sun God
4) VI = 6 in Roman Numerals = 6th Sign = Virgo = Virgin
5) T = 20th Letter = 20 = XX in Roman Numerals = Female DNA
6) y = Y Chromosome = Male
7) G-Ra/VI(T)Y = Female Sun Virgin Male with Female inside
I'm not singling out Lady Gaga, but I will point out that a lot of people "invoke God" or make claims that God told them to do this or that their work is inspired by God.
Worse yet when they make God take on a particular position on a political or Religious issue thinking "they know God."
I won't say I know God, but I studied the Encrypted Data embedded in the Planet's Operating System and there are a lot of discrepancies with what people claim God (the Planet) supports vs. what it doesn't support.
I can agree with Lady Gaga's claim that she said that "Born This Way" was technically "God" inspired, but I claim that Lady Gaga doesn't know what her lyrics mean as Acronyms and Abbreviations.
When she says "Born This Way," a "God" interpretation would be WA-y referring to Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ says "I Am the Way." James Caviezel as Jesus Christ is a Washington Male (WA-y).
One thing I'd point out is in the controversy over Madonna's "Express Yourself" vs. Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," I'd say that Madonna's "answer" is in "Die Another Day" (D.A.D. like God the Father) where she says, "I think I'll find another WA-y."
One thing I'd also like to point out is that no one is watching the news articles that surface at the same time I say these things. I'm not just randomly expressing my opinion on something.
I'll go by what surfaces in the Front Page News and take my lead off of that.
1) "Die Another Day" was with Halle Berry
2) I said a week or so ago about the song "God is a DJ" by Pink
3) God is a Pink Symbol
4) Madonna was in "Die Another Day" as Verity the Fencing Instructor
5) Halle Berry is born 8/14
6) Miss April 2004 Playboy Playmate Jaclyn Swedberg is born 8/14
7) Lady Gaga is born on the tail end of March on 3/28
The March 2011 Playboy Playmate was Ashley Mattingly born 9/10. That's Colin Firth who won an Academy Award for Best Actor in the "King's Speech." I said about the Mother Theme and where Natalie Portman who won Best Actress was Pregnant.
That's a Madonna Theme.
These are the things that are going on wihle Lady Gaga is making this comment.
I think the reason why she may be taking a lot of criticism for "Born This Way" is because she made the comment that it only took her 10 minutes to write the song.
I think that's what got her into trouble. When you make a statement like that, you're going to get graded harshly by critics as opposed to if Lady Gaga had just casually put it out there, "This is a new song I wrote, I hope people like it." Then people might have been more open and said, "Oh yeah, it's got a nice beat to it and it is reminiscent of 'Express Yourself' by Madonna."
I think when she put it out there that she said, "Hey, I came up with this on the fly, it set her up for being criticized for plagiarism because it can be made to look like she had heard Madonna over the years and without thinking too much about it, she "accidentally" put Madonna's theme into it because somewhere in the back of her mind it was playing.
That's the Superficial Psychological Analysis.
My Psychic Analsis is that Subconscious Lady Gaga tricked Conscious Lady Gaga into creating that hook knowing full well that it would get Conscious Lady Gaga into trouble.
That's the way Subconscious Minds work. They'll dangle bait. Conscious Minds of people not being careful will accept things.
Though one thing I will say in Lady Gaga's defense is that we're living in a world where just about everything has been done already. So you can't help but see things repeat once you've explored everything.
You'll see stuff get recycled whether people mean it or not.
On top of that, as you move general trends toward a particular theme or goal, you'll see it happen multiple people who may have had zero contact with each other will come to the same conclusion about something.
It's not because anyone was stealing people's work. People just had the same information and reasoning.
It just gets muddled now that we talk about Intellectual Property. That's why even with me, I'll make sure I anchor all of my stuff to News Articles or some time stamp that will show when I came up with the idea.

Walk Much? Lady Gaga Takes Another Spill On StageAlthough 'Born This Way' put Lady Gaga in an out of this world realm, the mother of monsters seems to be battling a very earthly demon, as of late -- gravity.
After falling off of a piano while performing 'Born This Way' in Houston earlier this month, Gaga once again took a spill on stage in Atlanta while belting out 'Poker Face' (via BuzzFeed).
So what has Lady Gaga taking these terrible tumbles? We know she's a fan of sky high heels, and mixed with her heavy dance numbers, she's sure to take a tumble every so often.
But just to prove that she is, in fact, human (or a close relative of the homo sapien), we've compiled all of Gaga's on-stage spills for your viewing pleasure. Feast your eyes little monsters.

Thousands of gallons of fracking fluid have spilled following an accident at a natural gas well in Pennsylvania, WNEP reports.
The Chesapeake Energy well in Bradford County lost control late Tuesday night.
From WNEP:
The well blew near the surface, spilling thousands and thousands of gallons of frack fluid over containment walls, through fields, personal property and farms, even where cattle continue to graze.
Francis Roupp, deputy director of the county emergency management agency, told AP that there were no injuries, and that although fluids have reached a small stream, "no adverse effects" have been reported.
Roupp suggests a cracked well casing could be the culprit behind the fracking spill, but that certain details won't be known until the situation is under control.
Pennlive.com reports that seven families have been evacuated as a result of the spill.
The chemicals used in fracking fluids have been a contentious subject, as many energy companies have long guarded them as a "trade secret." A recent report released by three House Democrats says that millions of gallons of potentially hazardous chemicals and known carcinogens, such as methanol, have been injected into wells across the country by energy companies using the controversial fracking method.

Developing reports of the fracking spill in Pennsylvania come at a time when the fossil fuel industry is facing intense public scrutiny, as today marks the one-year anniversary of the Gulf oil spill.

When Elvis Presley released his first album 55 years ago, men wanted to be like him and women wanted to be with him. But that concept has evolved. Now women want to be like Elvis, too.
In a sea of thousands of Elvis impersonators, three tribute artists stand out: Jacqueline Feilich of Australia, Laura Baxter Herbert of Massachusetts and Helen Anne Gately of Seattle.
These women -- all die-hard Elvis fans -- also moonlight as female Elvis tribute artists, or "ETAs," sporting bejeweled jumpsuits in homage to their all-time favorite singer.

Jacqueline Feilich, a lady Elvis tribute artist from Australia, is known as "She Is The King." She's been moonlighting as a female Elvis for the past 12 years, performing modern-day versions of the rock 'n' roll icon's classic songs.

Despite the male-dominated ETA industry, these lady Elvises each told AOL News that, over the years, they've learned to hold their own as female versions of the "King."
But that doesn't mean their paths haven't been challenging.
Feilich, a singer/songwriter who goes by the trademarked title "She Is The King," has been performing as a female Elvis for the past 12 years and full time as a corporate act for hire since 2006.
Even with all the experience under her bedazzled belt, she said some audiences still second-guess her abilities as an ETA when she first hits the stage simply because she's a woman.
Feilich, however, is quick to remind the crowd that she's not trying to impersonate the King, but rather honor his legacy through her own modern-day interpretations of his music.
"What I do is purely and simply a tribute to Elvis. I sing in my own voice, with custom-made costumes, using my own hair -- without sideburns. I spread the Elvis magic and keep his memory alive," she explained.
"I have naturally black hair which is a fantastic coincidence, but everything else (about my look) has just evolved over time. I never wanted to copy Elvis' hair or any other part of him. I try to do my own take on things."
Feilich said once people hear her sing -- especially her unique rendition of "Viva Las Vegas" -- they usually embrace her act. But in a genre dominated by male singers, she admits her audiences usually take a little more convincing.
Meanwhile, Herbert -- who works at a radio station by day and occasionally performs as "Lady Elvis" at parties and bars -- said the biggest drag as an amateur impersonator is squeezing into those signature jumpsuits.
Apparently, off-the-rack one-piece ensembles aren't exactly made to flatter a lady's figure.
"Unlike Elvis, I have boobs," Herbert told AOL News with a laugh. "So, yeah, it's a little difficult finding costumes that fit, but I make it work. Custom-made suits are the way to go."
Gately, 42, who goes by the stage name "Hellon Wheels," understands the jumpsuit dilemma. She told AOL News it took her several years to perfect her Elvis look because the '70s-era jumpsuits don't always fit a woman's curves in all the right places.
"Now I have my friend make all of my costumes. I have a bunch of beautiful, tight, sequined suits that fit me just right. My look has improved since I started doing this in my 20s," she added.
Gately -- who's performed for the past 14 years as a contestant at the Seattle Invitationals, an Elvis impersonator competition -- said she's never been able to win first place for her feminine portrayal of the King, but that hasn't stopped her from working the stage.
"I'm like the Susan Lucci of the Seattle Invitationals. I always compete and I never win, but I keep on coming back. Maybe I'll have my day soon. Either way, I'll keep doing this because I love it. I feel like I've broken the gender barrier in a lot of ways," Gately said.
Although the ETA world is primarily a boy's club, both Gately and Feilich insisted they're not intimidated by their male Elvis counterparts.
In fact, both women said they've built a strong camaraderie with fellow Elvis performers who are nothing but supportive of their ladylike depictions.
If anything, Gately said, guys in the ETA industry actually love a gender-bending lady in a form-fitting, sequined Elvis costume because it's nice to see a queen among so many kings.
Herbert can attest to that, since she met her boyfriend while she was dressed up in Elvis gear.
"For some reason, guys love women dressed up as guys. I always joke that it must've been my sideburns that attracted my boyfriend," she said.
Once the wardrobe of a lady Elvis is ironed out, Herbert said the next obvious obstacle is nailing the vocals.
She admitted she's had a difficult time matching her vocals to those of the King because Elvis' pipes were naturally much deeper than hers. That part of her act has taken tons of practice to learn to reach into the lower register of her vocal range.
She's found the most success vocally when crooning "Suspicious Minds" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" -- especially during the speaking bridge, when she can just talk softly to the audience.
"People sometimes start screaming like fans, but I think they're just humoring me," Herbert said. "I've been known to throw my scarf at the crowd and incorporate some other Elvis moves into my act."
One last obstacle for female ETAs is traditional Elvis hair. All three ladies said it takes some experimenting and doesn't always work out for the best.
In an effort to look like "Jailhouse Rock" Elvis, Gately once dyed her naturally red hair jet black and the rinse didn't come out for weeks.
"It was so bad that I decided never to do it again. Now I don't dye my hair anymore, I just style it in a feminine way and it works," she said.
Feilich goes the natural route as well, keeping her black locks long and straight.
As for Herbert, she's open to copying Elvis' coif -- color, sideburns and all.
She said the first time she ever dressed up as a lady Elvis was in 2002 for Halloween. Herbert went all out -- dying her short hair black and gluing some serious sideburns to her face. And, if it meant looking more like Elvis, she'd do it again.
Although being a female ETA certainly has its challenges, Feilich, Herbert and Gately aren't giving up their gigs anytime soon.
They said they'll continue performing as lady Elvises because, ultimately, they think the King would've wanted it that way.
"I really believe Elvis would've gotten a kick out of what I do. Many fans have said that he would've been proud of me," Feilich said.
"I would hope that Elvis would be flattered and find what I do to be sort of cute," Herbert added.
After all, Elvis was a ladies' man.
