Queen of Poop, more like.

Lol, you so funny.

@ OP

Sorry Rolling Stone, but that title still belongs to Madonna.  Now, if Lady Gaga is still relevant in 5-10 years (highly doubt) AND has had at least 3 albums sell 20 mil copies or more (again, highly doubt), then we can talk.

To be fair, it's quite impossible for any artist these days to have an album that sells over 20 mil. The days when that happend are long gone, and it's not the fault of the artists. In the 90s someone as big as GaGa is now would've definately had several albums that sold over 20 mil.

Hmm...

If I had to choose, I'd pick Britney Spears over Lady Gaga. Nothing personal against Gaga, yet I "grew up" with Britney. I guess the only way to determine Gaga's impact is if she'll stick like Madonna and Britney did. I have confidence she will.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

It really doesn't matter how much you HATE her, or how much you DISLIKE her, or how much you disagree with her or me saying she's had a cultural impact as big as that as MJ's, it doesn't matter what YOU think, or what YOU think is right..

fact of the matter is, she is the biggest person on earth in terms of "celebrity", the most famous being on the planet, and the biggest pop star on earth, and has been lady gaga for 3 years, and hasn't stopped..

too bad for you, she wont be going anywhere.. she's only going to get bigger and bigger.. rumor has it she'll be starting stadium tours next year

and no I didn't say she started "DANCE MUSIC", I said she brought techno/dance pop mainstream in the U.S, something not even madonna could do in the U.S when she released confessions on a dance floor, gaga is the reason you hear what you hear on radio today period, and I'm not saying that's a bad or good thing, but it's the industry that decided to make pop constant club hit after hit, if you even care to listen to her new album, not one of her songs are club bangers..

She's the queen of trying to hard!

Ha, funny how you say what everyone else thinks doesn't matter, yet you believe that you yourself and everything that validates what you say is true and right. 

Actually, the biggest celebrity for the past three years has been Oprah, not Lady Gaga. You were so keen on using Forbes, so I recommend you going back and check it out. Lady Gaga has probably been the most proeminent music celebrity in the past couple of years, but it's only limited to that sphere. 

Stadium tours? U2 started doing Stadium tours in their second year. Guns and Roses started doing Stadium tours on their second album. Stadium tours shouldn't be a measure of success, as a lot of bands and singers don't like to do or don't care to do stadium tours. 

Oh believe me, i've listened to every song on her most recent album (my GF is a major Gaga fan, and even she agrees that she's losing her initial sparkle) and it doesn't have half the quality of the Fame Monster. Judas is a quick cash in, Edge of Glory has nothing relevant to distinguish it from the grand majority of pop songs, Bad Kids and Marry the Night are complete jokes. The only good songs in the album are Born This Way, Scheize, Electric Chapel and Americano, and that's pushing it.

And since you're also so keen on dissing everyone's opinion, go read what the actual music critics say of her work and the way that she's stagnating. Just because everyone's imitating her doesn't mean that she somehow reformulated pop music or that she's the current pinacle of music. Trends are easy to set on music and just as easily dissapear. To stay relevant for 5, 10, 15 years now that's the challenge and that's what distinguishes the good musicians from the all time greats.

Eurotrash has nothing to do with being European. It was a music style in the late 90s and Americans dismissed it as "Eurotrash".

Now Lady Gaga uses that exact music style and suddenly it is cool for Americans.

Hypocrisy at its best.

Is this surprising, though I don't like at all (lol) it does make sense since she revolutionized the mainstream media.

What? She's has her own media empire too? Is she also a journalist in her spare time?


Who's to say? Does the peacock need all those feathers? One can only wonder...
