When and where did I say she is the best ever?

You don't really keep up with music news, Lady Gaga is about to embark on a tour in a few weeks that is selling out in mintues worldwide, Rolling Stone Magazine believes it could be one of the biggest tours of all time and it's already breaking ticket sales records. Artists who have longtivity tend to have big tours like these. MJ, U2, and Madonna are testiments to that.

She will vanish? One of the most followed persons on Facebook? Most followed person on Twitter? Please do tell what artist that has emerged in the last 5 years will surpass Lady Gaga and will vanish her into thin air?

I'm 28. I know what I like, new and old. I know talent when I see it.

You might be amused by someone using the Beatles and Boyz to Men in the same sentence, but I cringe when I hear people say the Beatles are better than Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, or Queen.

The problem with statements like that is in terms of influence and legacy. Songs like 'A Day In The Life' truly redefined pop music, they didn't sound like anything else before them. Their later work did more to change pop music than perhaps any other artist - only comparable influence would probably be Bob Dylan.

Dylan ain't got shit on Boyz 2 Men tho...
