Basically she’s a Madonna knock-off.

The amazing thing about Gaga is she does have talent, but she hides it in those disgusting videos. I happened on a video of her doing an “acoustic” version of one of her songs (on youtube) and she plays the piano beautifully, and has a voice. It’s just her videos and lyrics are rather disgusting. Just proves, sensationalism sells. Here’s a link to an acoustic version of a song (she’s playing the keyboard) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3R3KqrJAI4

Lady Gaga is a total idiot, and so is anyone who thinks this list says anything important.

Neither can Sarah Palin...

But Nancy can.

And I just have to imagine her body odor is worse too...I imagine she’s just much stronger than Sarah or Lady Gag in that respect.

The flash and bang sell ~ there's less disgusting stuff in the videos than you imagine. Most of it is composed of pretty ordinary dance routines and modeling poses.

There are "nekkid shots" but they're all tastefully done and NEVER reach the point of legally being porn.

But, yes, she plays instruments quite well, writes music well, sings well, arranges well, and I think she even has something to do with the LIVE STAGE CHOREOGRAPHY but probably not the video stuff.

I rank her right up there with Taylor Swift when it comes to "TALENT" ~ and they got there by gazillions of hours of singing practice, musicology study, playing instruments, dancing, and so on.

None of this just fell out of the sky on these young ladies.

Yeah, there’s defintely talent...and by creating sensationalism (clothes, etc.) she creates a buzz. I was actually rather surprised when I started listening to her w/out all the backup instrumentals. She has a very powerful voice and is a talented musician.

BTW, best Lady Gaga parody on youtube...I don’t know who these guys are, but they did a good job.

I guess she’s big enough that Weird Al did a parody of Poker Face, called (naturally) Polka Face.

I figured this out watching her Swedish concerts ~ they're all done in what seem to be highschool or college gymnasiums, on smaller stages, with your basic sound equipment ~ kind of like what you'd have for a local rock band performance.

She plays the instruments. She leads the dances. She sings the songs.

All very entertaining, and her audiences were primarily female! Several sources have said she actually speaks Swedish at some of these concerts but I didn't find that ~ but it's like the Beatles made their bones in German clubs and sang in German.

I've gone looking for a ladies dancing association that provides accomplishment points for the type of dance Gaga is into ~ haven't found it yet, but it'll be there, just like competitive Hip Hop.

LOL, I didn’t know that...I’ll have to watch it. My favorite Weird Al songs are the Star Wars and Jurassic Park parodies.

Well, I’m clueless. Unless a performer shows up on Blues Night at the local saloon I’ll never hear him/her.
