Only been out for 2 years and she's gone DIAMOND!!

I usually couldn't care less about how well artists are selling, I figure it's none of my business as a consumer of their work, but THAT is impressive.

The choreographer of the late great Michael Jackson has said that MJ himself was a fan of Lady Gaga and wanted to work with her. THAT again is doubly impressive. Since the early days when I thought she was too over the top and wasn't into, until now, this chick never ceases to impress me.

It's funny that Rihanna has been saying in interviews that she's been trying to arrange a collaboration with Lady Gaga, and yet in this interview Gaga herself says she isn't interested in doing any more duets for a while. I'm glad. I've said on this site before and I'll say it again - with Gaga having the level of artistc integrity that she has, with the fact that she is as successful as she is as a stand alone act, the fact that she pours her everyhing into her work and the fact the she has people like Elton John and Michael Jackson wanting to work with her, I would lose a whole lot of respect for her if she lowered her status as an artist by working with blantantly manufactured and marginally talented pop stars like Britney Spears, Kesha and Rihanna. She is too good for that.
