The world had been taken over by a phenomena knows as Lady Gaga, her extravagant nature and use of extreme props and costumes has elevated her to a level of stardom that few artists have achieved.
The craze surrounding her has changed the way music is produced and listened too. However Lady Gaga is not the type of role model that young children should be looking up too.
Her use of off the wall costumes and lyrics is not suitable to young children; this has not stopped her music from becoming mainstream.
Every station you tune to on the radio a song of hers is playing, there is no escaping Lady Gaga. Crowned the modern day Madonna, Lady Gaga’s rein is nowhere near over. Her hit songs include lyrics of a very sexual nature.
Parents now face the struggle of filtering the music their kids are listening too. While this is not a new issue, understanding that Lady Gaga is being pumped into the little brains for the world’s children is the first step in creating a balance between good music and appropriate behavior.
Before Lady Gaga, another artist was taking the world by storm with her antics. Amy Winehouse personified the image of a drugged out music artist, with her hit that “Rehab.” Deciphering the difference between was is just a song and what teaches our youth to think is cool and what to emulate is difficult, but needs to be done in order to prevent children from failing in a dark hole where education is not valued.
Positive role models for children, especially young girls is important to set them up to succeed in the future and artist like Winehouse and Gaga are not leading the world in the right direction.
