Is Lady Gaga a Genius?

"Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it."-Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga, you either love her, hate her, or don't understand her. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta or "Lady Gaga" is a popular American recording artist. Her first album: The Fame reached number one in six different countries and top-ten in numerous countries world-wide. This album won her two out of her six Grammy nominations in 2008. Later came her next album: The Fame Monster, the songs on this album dealt with issues and problems that come with fame, while the first album dealt with the happy and fun side. This album includes her newest singles including: Bad Romance (225,754,949 youtube views), Telephone (55,263,327 youtube views) and Alejandro(the video came out last week and already has 14,849,480 youtube views)

Many people argue that Lady Gaga is filled with Kaka and her work is utter garbage and she is simply crazy. I strongly disagree, I think Lady Gaga is like no other, I absolutely think she is a genius. Though her songs don't exactly have the deepest meanings or aren't quite life changing, they are extremely catchy and she seems to be doing extremely well, so clearly it's got the right stuff. Her influences: David Bowie, Queen, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, and Gwen Stefani. There have been comparisons between Madonna and Lady Gaga, but it was Madonna who revolutionized music 25 years ago, today's Madonna is our Lady Gaga.

Recently there has been some controversy between Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera, fans have been going back and forth saying that Christina has stolen Gaga's image or that Christina has been around before Gaga. But when it comes down to it, it's nobody's fault, it's just Lady Gaga's success, she is revolutionizing music as we know it.

Lady Gaga's fashion is the most peculiar and amazing fashion I've ever seen, I think this is another reason she is an absolute genius. Everything she wears is either something NOBODY would have imagined that would be used as clothing, something nobody has seen done before, or has taken something incredible from the past and enhanced it (picture to right). Her outfits are outrageous and everything about them is "crazy" according to society, but this is exactly why it's so great.
