Give me one artist that doesn't have a gimmick, and I'll point out that person's gimmick. It's a selling point for alot of people. It might not be as flashy and loud as Gaga or a GWAR, but it's there, underneath all of the bling-bling or drug addictions or what have you.
Not that anyone cares what I think, but I LOVE her! She is really an artist. She writes all of her own music. She designs clothes. She is really involved in the video production. She is one HELL of a performer! She actually can sing! (so hard to find nowadays!) She's a little bisexual (always good to find someone honest! and to quote Butters: "Maybe everyone is just a little bisexual.") She's got a great voice. She's catchy. And whether or not you want to admit it, she is original. I could dance to her music all night and through the morning. I've been waiting FOREVER to find someone to make some fun, upbeat dance music with some intricacy of lyrics and depth of sound. Gaga is the whole package. She is my favorite new performer of the millenium.
She gets my stamp of approval. And I'm not quick to give a stamp of approval to anything that isn't guitar-based.
I really enjoy Lady Gaga's tunes. In my opinion, she's better than everything else that's been in the top 40 for the past couple months haha. As others have already pointed out, she writes her own songs. To my knowledge, most of her peers do not. That has to count for something. And, biting into the "pop" music argument, POP IS NOT NECESSARILY A GENRE. Linkin Park could be considered pop music. Not that that should be a surprise to anyone here with the latest croony offerings from them haha. I remember the old days back around 2002-2004 when people would criticize LP for being too whiny, I wonder what they'd say now? "The shadow of the dayyyyyy world in grayyyyy" blah blah blah. /endrantofcrappymtmsongsrightnow.
I love Lady Gaga not gonna lie. Her music is infectious, I love her videos and I even like her attire. She's awesome in my book.
Kid was on Ellen yesterday, there is a clip floating around on the web, I think you can also get it on Ellen's website.
I like Lady Gaga. She's awesome on the piano and she can sing unlike lots of other mainstream musicians. She's very creative and just when you thought you've seen everything in her latest videoclip, she makes a new videoclip that blows you away. Very refreshing in my opinion. The only downside to her videoclips is that they're soooooo long and they're being played everywhere so no matter which music channel you turn on, there's always Lady Gaga playing somewhere. Sometimes she reminds me of Mylene Farmer (french), she used to make loooooooooooong (10-15 min.) videoclips as well.
Okay I'm now convinced she's brilliant. It's clearly her (see the nose here: http://www.becks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/lady-gaga-blond-hair.jpg) And when you take the C out of the "model's" name [Jo Calderone], and re-arrange it, it spells Alejandro. She's a genius, and she's actually taking the penis rumor and having fun with it.
Dammit Lady Gaga is pretty awesome, and that's coming from a guy that didn't like her and thought she was annoying as hell at first.
I like her. I think she's really creative with her videos. Her songs are also ridiculously catchy. At times, I think she is pretty, but not always. It depends on her make-up, I suppose. She's also really eloquent, which I like.
