"Music Review: Lady Gaga". Who's the Audience?

Upon analyzing the author's music review about Lady Gaga, there was a distinct showing of how the author was appealing to a new-coming audience, using descriptions from both the manner in which he describes Lady Gaga, as well as giving a distinct description about her performance with her latest show.

 Judging from the way the author is describing the show, it's safe to say that he's aiming for an audience who have no idea of Lady Gaga before reading this article, helping to create an image of who she is for these newcomers. This can be mostly seen from "like a female Elton John when she played (and belted) 'Speechless,' wearing a huge black feather shawl." From this line, the author is helping to create an image of Lady Gaga, and also help create comparisons to other audiences that may like Elton John before reading this music review. Alongside this, the author had mentioned some of Lady Gaga's quotes from within the performance itself. One line specifically, "I'm a free bitch" was one of the more common lines used within her performance. With this, the new-coming audience would get an even better understanding of what they would expect out of her shows.

Also, the way the author describes Lady Gaga in general is also a great manner in drawing in this new-coming audience. This can bee specifically seen from "Lady Gaga is strutting along it with larger-than-life style and, behind that, actual musical gifts." as well as "Her voice is strong enough to expose in a cappella singing, and she backed herself up with her own piano playing". From these two quotes, the new-coming audience would now understand the mannerisms and singing that Lady Gaga would be giving them.

There's also the manner in which the author describes the show that would also help draw in his audience. This can mainly be seen from "Her opening reflected her two main source genres: R&B from Jason Derulo and glam-rock from Semi Precious Weapons." Through this, the author is helping to create a style of music for people to be drawn into, with the R&B and glam-rock styles drawing in both of those audiences. The author helps showcase just what the audiences should be drawn into, and even helps in creating parallels to other singers and groups, to create even more connections with her style of singing, which in turn would draw in even more of an audience.

From these points, its easy to see how the author of this music review has been able to capture a new-coming audience.
