From the Thirty Day Challenge: Your opinions of Lady Gaga.
I have mixed feelings about Lady Gaga. I think she is extremely talented, but sometimes the things she does (or wears!) seem like publicity stunts. When I listen to one of her songs, it usually stays stuck in my head for days.
But yes, I admire her talent. If she just straight up sang and played like in the video below more often, I would really appreciate it. Her voice is wonderful! But I think people have come to know and expect each new single to be not just a song, but an entire production with its own theme, music video, synthesized sounds, outlandish symbolism, and fashion trend.
I also will take the opportunity this post provides for a shameless moment of bragging. Anderson is an a kick-ass a cappella group at his university called the Cleftomaniacs, and he arranged a medley of Gaga songs. Every time I see them perform it I smile, laugh, and even get a few chills. (Anderson is in this video, in case you were wondering. He is the only tall and gorgeous black man in the group. :-p)

Who is this Anderson that you blog of? I totally wanna see these singers live!
I agree with you about lady gaga. her songs are so catchy, but sometimes I feel like it's too much and too shallow. But, she's been insanely successful! :)
