I have to say I really have LOVE for GAGA, she is a smart woman who knows Exactly what she is doing. You can tell she has truly studied the aesthetics of artists before her and pays homage to them constantly through her music and costuming. I get it. And what I love about her most is you can see the fire in her belly for what she does, music and pop culture, she loves it ( and i have never seen the same performance twice, to come up with a new concept every performane is HARD) . She ADOREs her fans and seems to try to think of the greater good ( waiving her performance fees and donating concert revenue to charitiy). Good for her but I do wonder how long she can keep " surprising" people. Maybe next album will be a little less image and evem more about the music. No she is not original but compared to some of the stale stuff out there now she is a breath of fresh air ( to me at least)
