Beyonce and Lady Gaga have such different styles. There's plenty of room for both of them. I think Lady Gaga is more so coming for a spot like Britney Spears. Any way, there's plenty of room at the top for the artists who have what it takes, and Beyonce definitely has the talent, she is a much better vocalist than Gaga. As for depth in her music Beyonce records an equivalent amount of meaningful and dance/fun songs it's not her fault if people don't listen to the whole cd or listen to the lyrics of songs in order to get the message or meaning. Anyone who listens to her three albums and movie soundtracks in their entirely knows that her music has depth and meaning.
