Lady Gaga, has gone "gogo gaga" 

over Baby Gaga

Lady Gaga threatens to sue, Baby Gaga, a new ice cream company that makes specialty ice cream flavors with human breast milk, if they don't stop selling their products under the name, Baby Gaga.  

This is ridiculousness!  People wanting to sue over names, words, phrases and whatever else, because they believe they have unspoken copyrights to them, is complete ridiculosity.  I mean come on now... don't you think celebs suing over rights to certain words and phrases is getting way out of hand?  

Especially, when it comes to songwriting.  Not too long ago, The Bellamy Brothers, didn't technically sue, but they called Brittney Spears out on her new single, "Hold it Against Me", because it was very similar to the hook in their song, "If You Had a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold it Against Me".  Well, not to sound bias or partial or anything, because I grew up listening to the Bellamy Brothers, but they sort of had a point there.

But any who my main beef is Lady Gaga and she needs to get over herself!  You can't sue an ice cream company for using the name "Gaga", chicky!  You don't have copyrights over "GAGA".  No, "GAGA" is a word, in the dictionary.  It's a word that is spoken by babies and parents when they talk to their babies like "gogo gaga".  So, you don't have copyrights to "GAGA".  The company probably thought Baby Gaga, would be catchy, since the milk used to make the ice cream is breast milk and everyone, except for maybe you Lady Gaga, knows that breast milk is used to feed babies.  So, the ice cream company probably thought that the name Baby Gaga only deemed to be appropriate for the new exotic type of ice cream.  They were in no way trying to relate the product to you, so quit threatening to sue and get over yourself, Lady Gaga, otherwise everyone will quit going 'gogo gaga' over you! 

Don't You Think This American Idol Show Has Gotten Out of Hand?

 

American Idol is a sham!  It's bloody rubbish!  It has gotten out of hand and is overrated!  I mean come on now!  Yes, you want a music artist to have a good voice, but that's not the only component to a music artist.  If you are going to be a good musician you have to be genuine, honest and truthful..and here I go again...especially in your songwriting.  

Songwriting is such a big component to being a music artist.  That's why they call em' singer/songwriters, because they are not only singing but they're also  songwriting.  They write their own songs.  

Hell, some of the best songwriters on the planet don't have the greatest voices.  Take Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson for example, if those 3 had to go through American Idol to be successful then we would never have songs like Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain, Me and Bobby McGee, Angel Flying too Close to the Ground and Knockin' On Heaven's Door.  These 3 guys just go to show you that it takes great songwriting to be successful NOT singing.

Come on people...American Idol should die and go away forever.  Though I am glad to see that on the poll no one voted that they watch American Idol Regularly, so far.  Hope to see some of you agree with me that the American Idol show should die, but if you don't that's cool.  Just leave me a comment below to tell me what you think.

Justin Bieber Growing a Mustache

So, apparently Justin Bieber tweeted last week that he was going to quit shaving for a MONTH, so we could all see his lil' mustache.  How adorable.  Not really...who thinks this is funny that this kid has to quit shaving for a MONTH to grow a mustache?  Well, I mean in his defense, he's still kind of in puberty. 

What do you think leave a comment below.
