Can't say I'm a big pop fan (nothing but corporate write ups for generic artists) but I must say Lady Gaga has been able to make a nice little name for herself and definitely pretty well accomplished.
Now I really can't comment on her at all. To tell you the truth I've never even listened to ANY of her songs. I just don't listen to music like that haha. But I'm sure she does quite well with what she is given.
As for the society thing, I think that's a cop out. Society contradicts itself numerous times as it looks down on numerous things, even ones that seem to be competing against each other. So to really say men are polarized to not like pop music is kinda silly because they are then polarized to not like the opposites as well. People can like what they want if you ask me. I have my own opinions about pop music but still I can see how those could like... men and women alike. As long as I can listen to what I want its fine with me.
Only thing I ever ask is to only consider the good singers great and the not so great as the opposite. I mean I don't go flaring around that Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day has the best voice ever (although he really doesn't need to many computers to make him sound good) but that doesn't take away too much from the credibility of the band. Basically like who you want to like but respect the right people as well.
