I've been hearing about this lady left and right and I've never heard a single drop of her music. I guess that either means I'm woefully uninformed when it comes to musical pop culture or her entire existence revolves around people reacting to how she appears. Which as far as character goes is pretty shallow but I guess if you needed a hook "looking odd" seems like a reasonable choice rather than being a whore or being a liberal artist which is worn out territory nowadays.
Guys, the woman is ridiculously talented.
If she did this version of things full time and went piano only you'd probably all call her a genius.

Not at all true, check the video above for proof.kiwisushi said:
I don't see whats so great/bad about that THING called 'lady' gaga.
If a man is classed as male and a lady is classed as female what does that make a hermaphrodite.

But yeah, I agree. She can't sing. Whenever she sings something, I can never understand what she's saying. Someone teach this woman proper diction. I had to learn the lyrics to "Poker Face" by watching that Whale Wars episode of South Park where Cartman is singing part of it. And then I had to facepalm over how stupid the lyrics were, so after you get done teaching Miss Gaga diction, teach her songwriting.
Or take the easy way out, and lock her in a tube and then fill said tube with extremely harsh acid. Sure, the turian council member will be pissed, but he hates you no matter what you do, so just go with it.
Oh, and I don't really give a rat's ass what she has between her legs either. Not sure why anyone would: unless you're going to sleep with her, it shouldn't matter.
Nope, because that still doesn't change how awful I find the lyrics to be.MiracleOfSound said:
Also, love, hate, or just don't care either way for Lady Gaga, this is hilarious:
Call me crazy but that video didn't really impress me. What's so special about her? Is it the piano playing, the singing? It sounds average to me. The only thing I give her credit for is writing her own songs, but then again her songs don't really do it for me either.zen5887 said:
Could someone explain to me her talent? I'm genuinely curious.
That's an odd criticism.mjc0961 said:
Lots of amazing singers have strange diction when they sing, it makes them unique.
Ever listen to Louis Armstrong? James Brown? Opeth? Michael Jackson? Nina Simone?
Yeah, I can't understand her sometimes also. Maybe some props for writing songs, but on that same note, her songs are all from the same mould.
Outrageous clothes and influence? Honestly I wasn't aware that she is that "famous", Freddy Mercury wore better clothes, also Cher, Madonna. If anything, she's only a poor imitation.
Singing? Meh, average, to slightly trained, plus on the records anybody can sound decent these days and besides there's so much effects on the album version it's hard to tell who's singing what.
Heard that piano version of Pokerface before and only thing you can take from that is that it shows how shallow the song actually is and that she really can't change the song up a bit nor can she modulate her voice that much.
@Miracleofsound: please don't compare Lady Gaga to James Brown, Jackson or Armstrong.

She's just an attention whore. It seems like that's all she really cares about. She's like a physical manifestation of everything I hate about mainstream pop music. But then again, some of her music is pretty catchy. Nothing special, but it's pretty catchy.
While i do find her singing listenable and would not mind her taking a ride on my disco stick, she does dress like an escaped mental patient, but then again she does make out with girls which makes my disco stick happy....In summation decent music + ladies kissing = good. not that I'd go outta my way to listen to her, but dammit those beats is catchy. MO MO MO.
In the light of the music industry, Lady Gaga is a breathe of fresh air. Whether you like or hate her music, at least she is doing something different unlike most artist that just fell flat or stuck to the same thing over and over.
There are some artist who use the same beat in every song.
Lady Gaga brings something exotic to the table. It's like a dish that looks appetizing, but you don't know what's in it.
Madonna was this racy when she first started and now Lady Gaga is like the new age madonna.
BTW, she is not a guy. If you seen some of the outfits she wears, there is no way she has junk under something so tight.
Also some might say she had "surgery" and again I digress...her bone and muscle structure is feminine not masculine. No amount of surgery can hide that fact. She is a female.

Apart from the "lifestyle" thing (Freddy was far less responsible), she is actually reasonably comparable with all the points listed above. They both have similar vocal range, songwriting smarts and ostentatious visual presentation. Obviously they both sound completely different, but I can certainly see why people draw that comparison and it does make sense.Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
There's nothing wrong with her. She's got some singing chops, her music is good for it's genre and she's better than most popular music, which is admittedly not THAT much of an accomplishment. My problems with her are two a simple 2 minor complaints:
1) The clothing. I mean seriously, I know you're going for shock, but what the fuck are you wearing?
2) She CLAIMS to have been musically inspired by David Bowie. A) I LOVE Bowie and B) You were nothing of the sort. You're music style is pop mixed with electronica, Bowie is glam rock. Get your musical inspiration straight.
