The fifth
season of American Horror Story features many of creator Ryan Murphy's regular
players-- Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Denis O'Hare, Angela Bassett, Evan
Peters, Chloe Sevigny, etc.-- but it also adds a superstar: Lady Gaga.
The new
season of American Horror Story, subtitled Hotel, has been marketed around Lady
Gaga’s role.
The ArtPop
singer rises to the challenge in her own way. In her time onscreen as the
notional owner of a mysterious haunted hotel, Lady Gaga speaks in a vaguely
European, unlikeable accent; She makes textual all of her long-running
subtextual references to drugs and sex by setting up lines of cocaine onscreen
and engaging in a fatal ménage à quatre.
She is,
evidently, the Big Bad of the season and she deserves it!
