Never considered Bennett to be one of the greats, he’s just survived. And she’s just ghastly.

What exactly is a “Lady Gaga”? Is it a boy or a girl, or both? Does he/she/it still wear dresses made of meat? We’re supposed to be in awe of a “talent” who wears dresses made of meat? What the heck???????

I don’t know what her music is like; but she pretty much sucks in this one. She is off key and yells while sounding like she is trying to catch up. Hurt my ears. Not the worst, but bad.

I always remember listening to this song with my daughter and her friend, they were about 12, and they couldn’t “get” it. They could not understand the sarcasm of the song. Even though I tried mightily to explain it to them.

I forget how old I was when I first heard it, and it did befuddle me a bit at first. But it was lost on them at that time.

I must discuss this with the kid again, as I think this is one of the most brilliant popular songs ever written. An excellent example of a subtle subject handled well. Even if it is lost on 12 year olds, but of course it isn’t written for them.

She has a beautiful voice. However, she makes her money as an entertainer.

If she sat down at a piano, dressed normally and played a ballad, you would get the full range. Instead we get a cross dressing/meat wearing madonna wannabe.

Shame. But thats showbiz,

You really think that? Oh, well, I suppose there really no accounting for taste.

Nice song title selection for Gaga, at least.

She's a weirdo...call her an entertainer if you wish...but the girl (I think) just ain't right.

I wouldn't waste my time going to see her and sure as hell wouldn't spend my money on her.

I would rather invest my time on this forum stating my opinions on her and other pin heads that contribute absolutely nothing to the furtherance of society as we know it.

Here's the evidence (clip from a show at NYU in 2006ish). Christina Aguilera is another gifted musician who records crap songs and dances a lot.

I long ago got used to the fact that my tastes aren't the ones that performers can make millions catering to. I have the consolation that when the Gaga fad has run its course, Stephanie Germanotta might record an album of jazz standards, or her own songs in a jazz/r&b vein, and that's an album I would buy.

No-talent skank. Correction: she is very talented at self-promtion.
