We're online, so it doesn't matter. But are there any guys out here that listen to Lady Gaga? I do, to an extent. And no, I'm not gay. Believe it or not, it was my gf who got me started with Bad Romance and it just continued from there. Its embarrassing, but ehh, I only listen to her good songs. Songs that I don't like? Pokerface and Alejandro are two.
So, anyone at all? Or am I the only one...?

There are plenty of male Lady Gaga fans out there. In fact, I would wager that more of her fanbase is male than female, but the males are almost exclusively gay. She's the kind of artist like Madonna who attracts a dedicated gay male fanbase for whatever reason. Not to say she doesn't have straight male fans too but they're not as common. I think Jigglypuff likes some of her songs and he's straight. I'm a fan and I'm bisexual personally.
The biggest compliment that I can give Gaga is that she really understands the music video as a promotional tool, and probably moreso than any other mainstream pop artist out there today. She also has visual flair and a knack for melody, but the lyrics that she touts as deep are quite often garbage. I can look past the words and enjoy her for what she is, though.

Well maybe its because I live in Texas, where if you don't go with the flow, the hicks will immediately label you as gay, then proceed to attack you for it, but down here, there are RARELY Gaga fans.

Its actually because of this and your quote that I'm sure many guys are afraid to admit that they like her music. And I see your point there, about the music videos. She makes them crazy and insane to not only be entertaining, but attract viewers. To tell you the truth I never realized this before you mentioned it.

She said they were deep? I always thought she made them "garbage-y" to have flexibility in her wacky music videos.
Idk about your "visual flair comment" but I think her rhythm and melody are the main reasons her music is good.

I'm a Lady Gaga fan. But not a total fanatic. I just like her music, that's all.

I'm male and straight. Like some of her songs. It's not my usual type of music choice but i like catchy things, Bad romance...Telephone...Pokerface. I wouldn't say i LOVE her songs but some are good.

I'm one of those stereotypical gay male fans.
I really like her lyrics, particularly on the debut, for their shallow, empty-headed streak. I think its quite a nice change from Lily Allen and the likes, trying to shove opinions down our throats. The way she embrasses the pop culture so much is a nice tribute I think. I like her dance/pop sound, that wasn't her invention or anything like some gaga fans tend to believe (I don't know how but they seem convinced Michael Jackson, Kylie and Madonna were copying before GaGa was even born?), but she pulls off pretty well, better than Britney, who may be her closest peer I think.
I also absolutely love her commitment to her fans. The way shes near killing herself for us is both slightly worrying and absolutely flattering :3
And I love her quirkiness. I'm glad shes taking a bit of a break now though, and not releasing anything new until April. The worlds had a bit too much GaGa right now, I think.

I'm not gonna lie, i like Lady Gaga. I used to find her incredibly annoying, but then again the only song i had heard was Poker Face. Then my sister got me into it. and just recently, my girlfriend had took me with her to the lady gaga concert, and although the dancers scared the hell out of me (my gf got a picture with some asian guy in a banana hammock, fish nets and a bunch of caution tape bunched up on his shoulder... ughh) she was pretty good. and she can put on one hell of a show. and also, if you see some of the things she does, SHE IS HILARIOUS. she is one badass b****. like when people were booing her while she was at a baseball game and she stripped down to her underwear and flipped off everyone and yelled F*** YOU at the cameras XD. gotta love her.

I wouldn't call myself a Lady Gaga fan by any means, but Bad Romance is a good song. Lady Gaga is currently the pop star of the planet, meaning she will be gone in five years...unless she manages to keep on turning out songs as successful and smart as Bad Romance. Then things could get interesting.

Well, I don't like the vast majority of her songs, but I like Money Honey. My friends all told me "DON'T BUY LADY GAGA YOU WEIRD FREAK" but then I let them listen to that song, and we learnt an important lesson: even Lady Gaga can have good songs. But otherwise, I don't like Lady Gaga.
Her commitment to her fans is pretty entertaining, though. Just recently she leaped into a crowd of fans wearing scraps of clothing that barely covered what she needs to cover. And I like the way that she just stands up to music and says that she's gonna revolutionize it. She's not doing a good job of it, but having that confidence is pretty inspiring.
As I'm writing this song, my iPod's on shuffle, and the last five songs I heard were:
Omen - The Prodigy
The Other Side - Pendulum
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Bad Romance - Lady GaGa
Crush - Pendulum
The contrast between the good songs and Bad Romance is ridiculous.

well I'm a bisexual male and I think Lady Gaga is a pretty crap singer. although I do have to give her credit for capturing the zeitgeist.

So true. (And yes! I can read your tiny text! I see through your tom-foolery!)

The Little Monsters thing is to honor her fanbase from her album, the Fame Monster, and one of her tours, The Monster Ball Tour, if I am not mistaken. At any rate I am a huge Lady GaGa fan and love all her songs that she has done thus far. I to am bisexual like some other GaGa fans.
The thing I love about GaGa more than her music is her style. She is just outlandish, just for the sake of being outlandish. I just love that and she shows that in her music videos. Especially in her Alejandro video I want her aviator goggles.

She's pretty good, and as a fan of music and not any particular genre that is impossible to ignore. If she were to drop the stage attire and admit that there is nothing short of performing completely nude that Elton John and Madonna haven't already done, then she might have a chance at being one of my favorite music acts.

I'm one of those stereotypical gay male fans --- SAME I like her mainly because she's different from everyone else. You can't deny that. I like; Poker Face, Bad Romance, Just Dance, Alejandro, Love Game, Paper Gangsta, Eh Eh (sorta), Monster, Teeth and probably more.

To be honest I think she's pretty crap but does have some rather good (Mainly on The Fame Monster) Teeth, So Happy I Could Die and Speechless are all great songs.
I don't much like The Fame but Summerboy always makes me smile and Brown Eyes is just wonderful, one of my favourite songs.

It's easy to forget something that isn't true! ;o
~ IMPROMPTU GAGA SINGLE RANKING ~ Top tier: Paparazzi, Bad Romance Upper tier: Just Dance, Telephone, Judas Mid tier: Poker Face Lower Tier: Born This Way Bottom Tier: Alejandro
If we're talking international singles, stick "Dance in the Dark" as upper, "Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" as mid, and "Lovegame" as lower.
