WOW. I totally wasn't expecting all the dislike for Gaga on here. I'm really surprised.
For me it's a definite YAY.
In contrast to other mydramalisters, I actually like her newer stuff much more than her older stuff. Pretty much from bad romance and later. Her second album was really good, but her third and latest album is AMAZING. I really suggest giving it a try. Her songs have a lot of europop inspiration and she also incorporates some opera, screamo, and more foreign languages. I love the experimentation. It really gives the album a new feel to it. She also incorporates new instruments. With each album I feel that she's progressing and becoming not only more worldly, but experienced and original.
As for lady gaga herself. I love her. I think she's a living piece of art. What she's done for the sake of music and creativity is phenomenal. She's a performer at all times. She's made her life, herself, her clothes, everything artwork. She comes up with all the ideas for her music videos, outfits, concerts, etc, by herself. I love that she's not afraid to be controversial in her music subjects and life choices. Imagining all that she's endured and distaste, even hate, she's heard about herself, and that she's strong-willed through it all, (even promoting causes like throughout), I think Lady Gaga is a beautiful, creative, and absolutely talented woman.
Just wanted to say my peace. ^.^
