Her music is still so mediocre.

Because she can't write it. But you can be great - even all-time great - at one aspect of music without needing to be great at all of them. I don't really care if Itzhak Perlman can write a violin concerto that's worth listening to, or if Pavarotti can write an opera. When it comes to Lady Gaga, I've always thought of her as a great performer first and foremost. And hey, here's proof if proof were needed - she's performing someone else's music, and it still looks like an amazing show. And I don't even like Metallica. At all.
So I'd say she's got it in spades, but the it that she's got is a different it than you appear to be concerned with.
