Lady Gaga and Bollywood

Lady gaga is visiting India and wants to expand her music in Bollywood. What's your take ?
btw, I wrote a small hillarious article, please give me feedback -
In an interview to WSJ, Lady Gaga confirmed that she will be visiting India very soon. She has already re-mixed three of her songs with Bollywood flavour for the Indian audience. In the interview, Lady Gaga said The reason I'm going to India now is because I can. I didn't have the money or the resources before to travel and bring all of my things with me and reach an entire new territory of fans. Lady Gaga, welcome to India.

Now India is not a place for faint hearted. Lady Gaga though appearing tough on the outside is supposedly very humble and soft from the inside. So, here's some advice for the "Fame Monster", on how to thrive in India and Bollywood.

In Bollywood, no one understands western music better than Anu Malik. Anu Malik wrote, produced, acted and sang the most famous english song in India, named, "It's raining". The song was so successful, every Indian knows the song word by word, even people who don't know english, can also sing the whole song. Lady Gaga can learn a bit or two from Anu Malik on how to write and sing classic english songs for the Indian audience.

The other huge personality that stands out in the Indian music industry is none other than Himesh Reshammiya. Himesh has the rare talent, who can release the same song in different albums, claiming and convincing others that the ongs are different. Beside Himesh, I can only think of Zoolander, who had the talent to release same stuff with different names. Lady Gaga, with Himesh by your side, if you come up with one good song (Anu will guide you with that), Himesh will guarentee to have 20 different songs and making them all big hits. Just ask him to wear his lucky cap all the time, otherwise Donald Trump may come to claim his toupee and interrupting your success.

Lady Gaga, in Bollywood/India, no song will be hit without an excellent dance routine. Look, even "Jai Ho" became popular because of the dance sequence. I know, your music vidoes are all that, but it won't cut in India. For Indian public, you need to do a Sunny Deol number. Sunny Deol can teach you how to impress desi crowd with his perfect dance skills. If you aren't happy with his teaching style, you can pick anyone from Deol family. The good dancing gene runs in the family.

Ok, so Lady Gaga, you think that you are pretty controversial and have a global brand and don't need much to stay in limelight. Big mistake. For India, it doesn't mean much. Your controversies are lame by the high Indian standard. To create a controversy and then quickly create bigger controversy, so that you are always in news, get in touch with Indian politicians. They have perfected the art of creating bigger and better controversy in an instant, be it Adrash scam, 2G scam, or CWG scam. Now that will keep you in news and result in higher record sales !

I can't wait! I love her!! She's talented, she's innovative, and at the end of the day she's just a normal, down to earth person!

I remember when I saw her on Oprah and how before shows she'll go and meet and greet the fans...that's so sweet!

Plus, she openly talked about being bullying and self-esteem issues she had and how she couldn't fit in...makes her more humane!

I think the article is a bit rough...I personally don't think she creates controversy for fame, but she has a message...like her protest for Don't Ask, Don't Tell...she didn't need fame/publicity...but she wanted equality for homosexuality!

I think the controversies being compared to hers are different and in a different context!

As for the other comparisons...Malik is less West "inspired" and more West "plagiarizing", Himesh is not what I call "talent"...def not my cup of tea and NOT ALL Indians find him talented...talented would be RD Burman, AR Rahman, SEL, or Amit Trivedi!

If anything when ppl see her dance, I'm sure they would forgot Sunny Deol...oh wait, I'm pretty sure he's already forgotten!

The article is meant to be humor. Actually trying to make light of Anu Malik, Himesh, Sunny Deol, and Indian politicians. I think the article failed if it can't convey that :(

I guess I didn't see the humor in it...it seemed like the writer was demeaning LG was boasting about Indian ppl...listen if it's sarcasm that's cool...I usually don't get sarcasm in print! But I still stand by what I said...I love her and she's awesome!!

I might have to read again to see the humor!😆
