How Famous Will Lady Gaga Get?
I'm astonished by how famous this girl has gotten. She has literally had 5 top 10 hits in a row, 4 of them went to the top 5, 3 to the top 2, 2 have hit #1 (could be 3 tomorrow).
This is all in one album. She has literally made Electronic music acceptable and is probably the first pop act in a while to be geniunly talented, as she writes all of her music. Who's the last act to write their own music and have that sort of success? I'm thinking all the way back to Guns N' Roses? Eminem would count if you consider that pop but I dunno. Madonna and MJ?
I know a lot of you old farts and/or metal heads will dismiss her as a cookie cutter corprate popstar but she truely is talented. If you think she is cookie cutter then I suggest you listen to this song:
The song screams Queen and I garuntee if it was released by them it would be a classic.
I think she is a bright spot that shows that Pop music might finally be returning to a respected genre that it hasn't been at since maybe the 80's with MJ or maybe even the 60's with the beatles... We can hope.
