Is lady gaga really a musical genius?

Blimey

She'd sell her soul for an Arctic Roll imo (apologies for plagiarism)

She's a media genius. That's all folks!

 

[Chumpy]

Not really. Another capitalist ripper-off.

Shes like the love child of Madonna and Marilyn Manson.

Great analogy, Space . I've run across comparisons of her with Madonna. There is nothing unique or forward about Gaga's music that I've been able to hear. Madonna used arranger/composers like Shep Pettibone and William Orbit to name two. From what I've heard of Gaga's latest, her music isn't nearly as interesting. Too samey-samey. She's all style (image) and little substance to me
