Anyone hear Lady Gaga on Howard Stern yesterday?

[IGBT]

lady Sight Gag.

 

[rh71]

wouldn't that youtube video performance about her being Stacey something playing a piano from before she was Lady Gaga reveal the same thing?

I'd like to know who performed your lobotomy. HS is the king of all crap and to say that Lady Gagaaa has an incredible voice AND talent? Wow, the surgeon really took too much ...

I'm not much of a Gaga fan, but it's pretty obvious she has more talent in her little pinky than most pop stars do in their entire bodies.

 

[Brigandier]

I enjoyed this, surprisingly. I'm not into the whole elcontronica-sounding music, so I normally stay away from Gaga, but this was decent+.

 

[JulesMaximus]

i've been saying this forever and even posted this on ATOT and got ridiculed by everyone.
but when stern says it, all of a sudden it's accepted.

I've never bashed Gaga. I like some of her music and I've said that here before.

 

[Gibson486]

I never bashed Gaga. She is talented as hell.

 

[Miramonti]

She reminds me of a young extremely eccentric Elton John. He is a brilliant all time great, but she's no slouch with her skills either.

Huh wow... That was impressive, very heartfelt performance

Guess I wont bash Gaga anymore after this, but its a shame she does that shitty pop crap instead of more stuff like this

well, that's how she started. She is very much a classically-trained musician and phenomenal song writer. She did the bar performer thing for many years.

The Lady Gaga act is what made her big--and while certainly not my thing, I think it has it's own merits as an effective pop-culture-art act, much like Prince or Madonna, or even Elton John to some degree.

I dislike Howard Stern as much as any tasteful individual would, but I'd certainly take his word over yours.


It's a reputation thing, you know.

another good non-insane performance (Well, "mild" anyway)

It's pretty much the only song of hers that I know, but it's awesome. Great classic type of pop tune.

Not to be confrontational--who would you consider to be an amazing artist/musician?

I could name a hundred, but let's just say Jimi Hendrix to start with.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Name a more successful current mainstream artist that has equal or greater talent.

Where did I make any claims about Lady Gaga's level of success? I will easily stipulate that she is incredibly successful, and even more successful that some artists with greater talent.

So what? That does change anything that I've said.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Her "on the edge" performance was pretty good. Like Moshquerade said, she isn't that great to look at, but she definitely has some solid talent. I have been a fan of her since I heard Bad Romance.

My favorite thing about her is that she will mix it up a lot in regards to style. No, I'm not talking about clothes, but rather genres. She will play with multiple genre's in her albums, her most recent album is a great example of this.

You honestly think she has no talent?

I can't wait for his next album and tour.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

No, that is not what I think at all. She certainly has talent, primarily in her voice. Her songwriting and piano playing are not particularly impressive, however.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

What difference does that make? He asked a question and I answered it.

What is there to roll your eyes about?

 

[andrew2005]

what do you mean? well songwriting maybe is a little bit specific, but how do you that Gaga's piano playing is bad? the looks I agee are terrible
