why do people refer to Lady Gaga as original??
I don't like her music but at the same I don't necessarily hate it BUT don't get me wrong this isn't an attack on her coz I know how devoted her fans can be... but didn't ppl like Britney, Madonna etc have that same sound a couple years ago?? not to mention various other electro pop artists.

No she's not particularly original or groundbreaking but its more of a case of doing the genre so well. All her songs are catchy, in your face and pure simple feel good dance pop music and there's nothing wrong with that.
Madonna the greatest female artist of all time has neve been overtly original, like Gaga she's no Mariah, she's not Shakira in terms of sex appeal but like Gaga consistently creates huge bonafide pop hits. |

Lady Gaga Original? No. The reason why people think she is original is the way she markets herself. She tried making comparisons to David Bowie (which pissed me off) and recently said her fans were clever. In actual fact her sound isn't very different from as you mentioned the Madonna's and Britney's. But then again it's not about being ground breaking with music nowadays just look at the X-factor churning out covers and songs that sound the same.

She's pretty open about her influences so it's not really a bad thing for people to call her unoriginal. She just takes inspiration from things and moulds it into something good.

I wouldn't say she's original, but in my opinion, she is doing it better than whoever did it originally. Her songs are amazing, and "The Fame Monster" can be bought for about Ł10 and it has 24 songs on it...very good value for money, especially for those who don't have the original "The Fame".

There is nothing original about Lady Gaga, her style is inspired and had been done by David Bowie and Grace Jones. She said it herself in alot of interviews
The right word would be that she's Different to other artists in this era. |

She has reintroduced this kind of sound into chart music. It has always been around but she has paved way for many others to follow.
I think it's what da3bool said... she is different to most (popular) acts in this era so she's getting a lot of attention. Although I don't like her music that much, I do see the appeal. |

A quick search in google:
Lady GAGA - Results 1 - 10 of about 71,800,000 for lady gaga. (0.14 seconds) Beyonce - Results 1 - 10 of about 58,800,000 for beyonce. (0.15 seconds) Does it make any sence! |

I think timperry26 is referring to there seemingly being more buzz around Lady Gaga for the relatively short time she has been around than there is for Beyoncé who has been around over a decade now.

Thats mainly due to LADY GAGA trying too hard to over expose herself, unlike beyonce who likes to stay reserved!
LADY GAGA its all about the fame |

Susan Boyle brings up 'only' 18,600,000.
Remember, Google searches the internet and not just recent news stories. Lady Gaga is about the fame, but that's part of her act. She's purposefully controversial, in your face and it's obviously working for her. Like I said, I'm not really a fan but I do get why she is massive. |

I love Gaga.
It's the way she blends her influences that makes her what she is and makes other artists what they are. They may draw upon others who have gone before but they combine it their way. I wouldn't name Britney in the same breath. The most inexplicably successful artist of all time. |

She has made a good few songs which are commercially listenable to. What makes her seem interesting is her "freakish" dress sense and the way she comes across in some interviews. If we just stop and think, we've seen it all before. Take the silly clothes and act she puts on, it's pretty bog standard to be honest.

LADY GAGA its all about the fame Of course GaGa is all about the fame...that's why her debut album is called "The Fame" ![]() And maybe Beyonce should expose herself some more. I mean, this year, "The Fame" has sold more copies in the UK than "I Am...Sasha Fierce", and "The Fame" got to #1 whereas "...Sasha" only got to #2 |

The thing is GaGa isn't really exposing herself is she? She's exposing a character, a persona but the lady behind the act is almost totally anonymous. |
