Gaga Vs Meyer

Ha, so the ash cloud that was making all the airports shit themselves has finally moved and aircraft are gradually starting to take off again. The American's were apparently calling the whole thing "Eruption Disruption" showing their amazing skills with literature and proving that Meyer isn't actually the standard of literary genius in their country.

Speaking of Meyer I was listening, yesterday, to Lady Gaga's song "Alejandro" and I realised that there's actually more revealing character in the first two stanzas of that song than there is in the entire Twilight series (Ok, that may be going a bit over the top).
The lines go like this:

"She's got both hands
in her pockets.
And she wont look at you,
Won't look at you

She hides true love.
En su bolsillo
She's got a halo around her finger.
Around you."

From these two stanzas we get that she's ashamed, that she is in love and doesn't want to show it, that she's innocent, and that she's wrapped around her boyfriend's little finger. From so few words this is a great achievement, after all, if we take a passage from Twilight:

"I lifted my hand from my neck and held up one finger, I dropped my hand to the table moving my left hand so that my palms were pressed together, I stared at my hands, twisting and untwisting my fingers."

Three lines, and more words that the Lady Gaga song and what do we get? Oh, Bella's playing with her hands because she's nervous. That's it. The overuse of the word "Hands" is horrendous too. I have to ask, what the hell was her editor thinking?!

That same passage could be achieved by a simple: "I watched my fingers crawl over each other in nervousness, I couldn't look up at him."

One line, and we get the fact that she also can't look him in the eyes, and the only word I repeated was "I".

So yes, enough about my dislike of Twilight and my enjoyment of Lady Gaga songs. That's it for now, have fun everyone :D
