Charo Disses International Pop Sensation! Ay, Caramba!

Agree with her and can Lady Gaga play guitar like Charo? Gaga is an obnoxious, overexposed, mediocre songwriter and singer.

Charo's cool but this is surreal. I'd love to have been with Madonna when she heard about it. So Lady Gaga has performed with or has the respect of people like Pet Shop Boys, Elton John, Beyonce, YOKO ONO, and even Caswell!

She'll probably get over this.

Let's look at Caswell, "I saw Beyonce at burger king"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

She is clearly not aware that Madonna stole entire personas from others, and countless ideas from Marlene Dietrich (top hat and man's suit, blonde afro), Bettie Page (infamous cone bras), I Dream of Jeannie (beloved Blonde Ambition pony-tail), Cyndi Lauper (endless bracelets, corsets and things tied in ratted hair), Mae West's play 'SEX' ( "shocking" simple title idea for Madonna's silly 1993 book), her whimsical Malawi film immediately on the tails of Annie Lennox's successful 'SING' project, etc, etc, etc. Pop music was all tits & ass for a good 15 years before Lady Gaga came around and I am REALLY happy she's arrived. She is refreshing. I'd like to see Brit or Madonna play a mean piano and sing acapella!

Madonna may have adopted personalities, but she maintained her own identity. Gaga is a talentless ripoff artist who plays piano like a little kid. She will hopefully have the same fate as John Lennon. Except John Lennon is still missed. The world will love when Caca bleeds to death and dies.

Mean and bitter much?

For someone who has scant talent and has relied on a one-note schtick and who she sleeps with for mobility, it's pretty amazing Charo has the balls to criticize somebody who is obviously much more creative - talented. Char must be nearing 100 years old. More props and tricks to project sluttiness (rather sordid for her age!) than Mae West.

daho

I thought the same thing, until she was booked on a gay cruise I was on (and I was aghast).

Turns out she was fantastic. She did her schtik for the first part of the show and was hysterical - had the audience eating out of her hand. Then she turned the second part of the show into an acoustic concert playing mexican folk. So you don't have to appreciate her camp appeal, but she IS a talented performer.

Woulda thunk?

Maybe I owe her a little slack cutting. Maybe she is talented, but her image is just that shakey-shakey the body and incomprehensible English.

Yet another reason to love Charo!!! She is SPOT ON about Gaga. Perhaps too polite, even.

What I don't like is when old women pretend they're 10 years less old and force a government to amend their birth certificates to reflect said delusion. Charo's LOVE BOAT was dry-docked long ago, GaGa's isn't even setting sail yet.
