I'd rather go with a singer who has a gigantic and diverse song library spanning the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. I speak of the David Bowie. You'd have glam, disco, soul, rock, drum and bass, 80s pop, rock operas, psychedelic, proto-metal, and the dozen other genres I'm forgetting right now. Would be great for a karaoke game or a Rock Band game.

Lady Gaga has what, 4 singles that all sound the same? Like a poor man's Marilyn Manson, but with real boobs instead of fake boobs? (She claims Bowie is her biggest influence by the way, but I don't believe it. I only hear a cross between Marilyn Manson, the Black Eyed Peas, and Paris Hilton.)

Her biggest influence wasn't Freddie? She even use Gaga name to homenageate queen...

Yeah the name's from a Queen song.  She says she's all about Queen and Bowie and glam and fashion.  The theatricality and tons and tons of costume changes mostly comes from the early 70's performances of Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and Roxy Music (not that they invented it or anything, but they basically brought it to rock and roll).  Peter Gabriel was doing hairdos and costumes back then that make Lady Gaga's outfits look like a kid's Halloween costume.

Here he is as some sort of zombie flower about 37 years ago.

That reminds me, I'd definitely go for a Genesis and/or Peter Gabriel Rock Band.  Tons of diversity there too, from the prog to the pop.  They did Beatles for the old folks and then LEGO for the kids and now Green Day for the teens and 20-somethings.  I wonder where they'll go next.
