I was hoping it was on network tv because I wanted to check it out.

She's this year's big thing. Five years from now, as Billy Joel said, she'll be on the 21st Century version of the discount rack, like another can of beans
Her songs are typical techno pop that the singing is pretty much drowned out by excessive over produced noise. It's a shame, because according to the 60 Minutes profile, she really has some talent, but instead she's gone for shock value. Shock value RARELY makes for a long career (of course there are always exceptions).

Um not true she's been a big star for the past 3 or 4 years not just this year and she's done songs on the piano without techno noise. I had never heard of her when she opened for another artist at a concert I was at and I left there a fan.Steveknj said:As long as my 11 year old daughter didn't want to watch, I passed

Billy Joel? Talk about no longer relevant. Amazingly talented musician, but hasn't released anything new for what.... 10-15 years? He's a touring act, if you can even call him that at this point....As long as my 11 year old daughter didn't want to watch, I passed

GaGa also writes, arranges and composes all of her own music. She's also an Italian kid from New York....the difference being that no one cares when you're a guy who can play music. The standards are a little different for women. GaGa wasn't given the time of day when she was Stefani Germanotta, the non-descript ethnic looking chick with the big nose. The over the top persona was born out of necessity.....
GaGa ia a lot of things. UNtalented isn't one of them.
Er... whoosh . That's not a quote from Billy Joel about Gaga. That's a line from one of his most famous songs, written before Gaga was even born.
I do disagree with Steveknj though. Shock value combined with talent quite often makes for a long career... or at least a famous and lasting legacy. What tends to happen is that the artist's behavior becomes less shocking as time goes on. Look at Madonna, for example: she was often controversial in her early career but today the stuff she did seems pretty tame.
Sure, if you have little talent and use shock tactics to hide it you won't go too far usually. But personally I don't think that's the case with Gaga.
