I really hope she decides to open with a supercell song, because that would be too awesome.

This upsets me, because I feel like Gaga is using Miku as a sideshow to drum up publicity.

To me it seems more likely to be the other way around. What better way to promote Miku in North America than by hooking her up with a famous singer. It could cause her popularity to rise quite a bit!

I don't think Gaga needs publicity. Her shows always sell out.

Hey, that's my city! Guess I'll be paying $100 for a 30-45 minute Miku show.

I guess Lady Gaga will be cool too.

I'm slightly tempted to get a ticket for the Madison Square Garden, but I think I'll pass.

Less well-known artists open for stars all the time to increase exposure. Well, Miku could use the publicity. Her momentum kinda slowed down a bit since she's been relatively quiet on the publicity scene since her concert and commercials a couple years ago.

Miku's real, the guy with the big tranny sunglasses is the fake one. Razz

(Look, sir, quit trying to buy a piece of everybody you think you're the only one you're a fan of.)

The text of Lady Gaga's tweet is gushing with praise. Any Miku fans who have a problem with this really need a cup of STFU.

And ten bucks says Gaga wants Miku to sing "The World is Mine", just because it's the kind of song that would be in LG's show. Rolling Eyes

(I mean, Sweet Devil's pretty good too, it just doesn't seem like Miku's personality to do Western-diva "b*tch songs"--It sounds so much like an American-idol Britney or Gaga song, right down to the inhuman techno-vocoding, just that it's, y'know, better.)

Their singing...obviously. I read this title last night on a news site as "Auto-tuning robot opens for auto-tuning lyricist".

No you look, these slurs cannot be thrown around willy-nilly by you. It doesn't matter how you feel about Gaga or her music, you're disgusting using such language, go educate your sorry ass.

"Disgusting"? Uh, overreacting a tad, there? Confused
When exactly did I say "she" always had to cover up "her" disturbingly lil'-piggy male eyes that always destroyed the illusion, and pretend it was a fashion trend? Razz
(And I didn't even MENTION the shoulders or hands, where are you getting all this?)
