The only real problem I find with Lady Gaga (other than not being the biggest fan of her music), is that she builds her image to make herself seem really avant-garde, and her music is just not avant-garde.
Like I always say, if Gaga sounded like she dressed she'd be a darker and sleazier take on Björk.

I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

I don't mind Ms. Germanotta's music, even if her hardcore fanbase is annoying as hell. That's usually the case with pop singers who are more artistic than usual but not at Björk or Kate Bush levels of intellectualism. (see also Lana del Rey, Faye Wong etc.)

Nah he shouldn't. Gaga has her fans. This IS the general music section, people should be allowed to talk about whatever they like.
I meant that HE (Equality 747-242) should tell ME to stop listening to the music I like, not the contrary. He can even listen to 2 Unlimited or Eiffel 65, I wouldn't care.

I don't like Gaga. But there's way worse. As been said, I will give her credit for participating in the songwriting process (she doesnt write her songs entirely on her own though) and for having vocal and piano talent, and for being a bit smarter than your usual pop diva.
I still hate her music. I think she wastes her talent. She's the Dream Theater of pop music basically.

I agree. The fact that she writes all her music and doesn't use auto-tune already puts her miles ahead most other pop stars out there.
I think Justin Beiber writes his own songs as well, so I see hope for the future for these artists.
Question is, how will the song writing develop and will they go in directions away from commercial mass-manufactured pop? Which I've never cared about.
