Don't get us wrong: We like Lady Gaga. We think she's a terrific cabaret act. We admire her tireless work ethic and those crazy outfits she can almost pull off.
So we had to pause when we read what Gaga said about herself in March's US Vogue cover spread:
"Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer. I am a talented entertainer. I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters. I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do. I think it's OK to be confident in yourself."
As moms with kids who are just figuring out how to present themselves in these crazy times when women wear glitter lobsters on their heads, we need parenting advice: Is it wrong to forego all modesty and brag about yourself, especially if you're not exactly Mozart? Where's the line between false modesty and rampant egotism?
Please tell us in the comments what you think. 'Cause if it's OK, we'll feel free to let the world know that we're the ultra awesome arch douche bitches that we are.
I, for one, think some pride is perfect.
I would like to know why she's wearing her fat Aunt Gertrude's bathrobe.
Well I am happy that she is confident but to say she has one of the greatest voices in the industry? Um....don't agree. Performer yes. Greatest voice no.
I think lady gaga is talented, but her dress and style distracts from it. She always has a bizarre outfit with wacky sunglasses and this is the center of our attention instead of her voice.
