What is a disco stick?

I've never really been a fan of any singers in my entire life. But recently, I was intrigued with a photo of a singer named Lady Gaga wearing a transparent "bubbles" stage costume. Curious, I listened to some of her songs on YouTube, read her biography and found myself quite impressed with this young lady!

What's interesting about her work is that they're heavy on parody - eg. a love song titled "Brown Eyes" whereby the music video's done in a Salvador Dali style - very Freudian (she hugged a corpse as she was singing the song) & there's also a song titled "Passion" written from the p.o.v. of a transvestite. 

I was mainly impressed because she's only 22 and she has a very good insight on how to capture attention in an uncanny way - injecting art into contemporary music & at the same time, bringing attention to social issues - the 'dark side' of city life that people are aware of, but rarely talk about.

 Although Lady Gaga does have her critics, I am inclined to believe that she is a very "original" artiste - and being a non-celeb fan, I believe that I'm judging her quite objectively.


10 reasons why I think Lady Gaga is very original:-


1) Her fashion sense (obviously)


2) She probably invented the word "disco stick"


Well, maybe she didn't... but nevertheless, she did help popularize "disco stick" by giving it a new meaning. In her performances (particularly when she sings the song titled "Just Dance"), she is often seen carrying a rod which she refers to as her disco stick)
