Her songs are indeed catchy, but I cannot stand the way she looks and acts.
The sad thing is that she really does have a lot of talent, but her act overshadows that. There are clips of her singing while playing the piano "pre-gaga" and she's really quite good.

cant stand gaga myself god awful

its catchy as in that it gets stuck in your head but its not in a good way

the songs dont even make sense for the most part

i could totally see young people liking it because they often dont think about the meaning behind music, but for me it just seems devoid of anything that matters

Chicks that sing well are a dime a dozen. If she didn't have the outrageous act going, you wouldn't have heard of her. I'm not a fan, but I appreciate her style. She's more rock-n-roll than the rockers are.

Just because they don't mean anything to you, doesn't mean they don't mean anything to someone else.

That is pretty tight...I also like the real song because, like someone mentioned earlier, it is catchy.

I agree it totally sounds like videogame music back in the day.

lady gaga rocks. her songs are extremely catchy and is great for pop music, i dont know why people can't admit this. this video is pretty cool too

This mostly. I don't listen to much music in general and even her I can do without but I have to acknowledge that she's one of the most talented pop stars I've seen in a while. Most pop songs are just so much recycled garbage but at least she puts out new somewhat innovative stuff herself and some of it actually doesn't sound too bad. She's quite a talented pianist too.

not to shabby. Sounds like something a group like DragonForce would put out.

That's what I thought it sounded like too. :thumbsup:

I like Dragonforce. :p I like to call it cheesemetal..

Hell even Christina Aguilera tried to copy her.
