Lady Gaga ruins AHS Hotel
I did not think AHS could get worse every season but it has. Each season a lot of great actors and actresses leave and often never return. When I first heard about the subtitle for Season 5 being "Hotel" I immediately thought of "The Shining". I was excited now I'm just disappointed. I think the worst part after the terrible story line is Lady Gaga! She stinks. She cannot act at all. She has ruined Season 5 for me and it barely has started. I'm not surprised Jessica Lange left the show. I can't believe Kathy Bates stayed. Why would Oscar winners want to work with a wannabe like Gaga? This only proves if your famous you can pay anyone to let you work. I mean I hope they didn't pay her for that crap acting. Do yourself a favor re-watch "Murder House" or "Asylum" instead of "Hotel" and pray that Gaga goes back where she came from.
