Gaga has been thrust down peoples throat and has a huge sheep following. The fact that she used Mr Timberland and it was a well publicised fact that he had produced her album had many people clamouring for her album. Lesser known acts who technically are better than Gaga (not a subjective thing, but actual musical talent such as pitch, tone, ability to play instruments, arrange records without the need for fancy production and song-writing skills) Not saying Gaga doesn't possess any of the skills just that their are artists out their that are better at it. Yet get **** all for their efforts. I'm talking about the Fever Rays, the Natasha Khan's, the Florence's.”
you're just trying to find any excuse to hate Lady Gaga, by comparing her to other artists who you
think are better (by the way i'm a fan of Bat For Lashes too), and using the hater's classic 'sheep' comment. you seem to be suggesting that for someone to warrant the massive success Gaga has enjoyed this year, they must be a perfect musician in every way... ok maybe i'm exaggerating there, but just be realistic. Gaga has proved herself as a talented musician beneath all the crazy outfits and odd behaviour, and it seems many people who were sceptical at the start are realising that and warming to her, which pleases me as a fan from the start.
At least I have no problem admitting it, I guess you will reach a point in your life where you look in the mirror and find that you are at the same stage as many of us Brad Pitt!
