Michael Jackson ruled pop because, underneath his must-dance-to-this beats, were human condition exposés. Gaga markets herself as a humanitarian, yet no song since Born This Way has championed the oppressed (other than rich queer kids in queer-friendly neighborhoods). We are tired of "this song is about me-me-me but, for my own financial profit, I hope you relate enough to think it's about you" exhibitionism with a beat.
