@Are You Serious: ARE YOU SERIOUS? Ever heard of Grace Jones, Cher, Madonna, Pat Benatar, Laura Branigan just to name a few? Get on youtube and do some research. There's very little creativity going into what GaGa is doing. Mad props to her for having the nerve and to her costume makers but her music is dicso with today's technology. I'm a musicoligist not a fly-by-night fan. This is shock and hype in the flesh. The only way it would be called what it really is is if a minority was the artist.
