Lady Gaga’s new Netflix documentary, "Gaga: Five Foot Two", shows the artistic process to her latest album Joanne. Overall, this film shows fans her new-found confidence, her battle with fibromyalgia, her anxiety with her music and her career, and her loneliness. The documentary was alright but didn’t address the what fans wanted to know about why her songs have been somewhat unsuccessful for such a star like her, and didn’t even discuss when she lashed out at her management.


Her newest released album, Joanne, is a tribute to her aunt that she never met who passed away from lupus at 19. When it was first released, fans were confused as to why she dedicated the whole album to her aunt, and the documentary didn’t clear that up for anyone. Gaga even seemed confused the whole time trying to explain the family drama that she somehow twisted into an album.

The most awkward part of the whole film was when she showed the song "Joanne" to her grandma. I expected tears from her grandma and a heartwarming reaction, but it ended up just being Gaga sobbing while her grandma sat comforting her. As Gaga left, her grandma even said “Honey, it’s been a long time. It’s been over 40 years. Don’t become maudlin over all this.” Super awkward.

.

On the more positive side, this documentary was a story about her anxieties and insecurities. Aside from the awkward moments, we get to see the real Gaga. The way it was produced makes the viewers feel like they are with her and shows a true glimpse of her life. The documentary brings fans through some of the most vulnerable moments of her life- pushing herself through her chronic pain, finishing her album, and performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. It is easy to critique her but after watching I believe that Gaga works for every inch of her success.

So, should you watch?

Overall, this film was a little unsatisfying for me but it did show a story about an artist who works hard while still dealing with everyday issues. If you’re looking for a tight documentary that has loads of information about the artist, this probably isn’t for you. But, if you’re trying to take a step into an extremely successful singer’s life, give it a watch.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
