I am no fan of Lady Gaga’s broke down Soviet disco music, but I do respect the hell out of her as an entertainer and business woman. The Lady knows how to grab our attention and keep us interested just long enough to keep her name burnt into our brains, and that takes at least some level of smarts and a knack for business.
Today I saw this video (click through, please! It wouldn’t embed on our platform!) of Gaga on CNN’s Closing Bell discussing her new line of products for Polaroid and was blown away by how articulate, informed and accessible she came across. Not only do I understand exactly what’s so cool about her Grey Label cameras and printer, but I’d even buy ’em. Homegirl made them sound high-quality, easy to use and innovative. What more could a company ask for in a celebrity spokesperson?
I’m convinced that if Gaga quit music tomorrow, she could sustain herself by getting a gig as the ultimate QVC salesperson. Actually, she may be much better at that sort of gig.
I never ever thought she was stupid and like some other well-known females she should be underestimated at everyone else’s peril. She’ll be around for a long time to come. And I for one am very glad.
shut up fag
It was actually CNBC, not CNN.
The glasses are interesting, but they’re definitely using Gaga for her popularity and push factor as the printer they show seems to be the same as the polaroid pogo that I don’t know did well in sells.
