Even the name Lady Gaga is copied, comes from "Lady Starlight" a former dance partner of Gagas. The two girls did erotic dances together in the NY underground clubs. Love Bette Midlers comments about her stealing the mermaid routine. LOL

Love Bette Midlers comments about her stealing the mermaid routine. LOL I love Bette Midlers comments too.. I am starting to think the Gaga camp cruises the creative fields of past genius to mine for new material.... then if anyone catches it.. they can say "I didn't realize they did that" but its great yadayadayada......lets just say I haven't lost respect for Gaga.. because I never had any..j/s

I know all of us are fans of great vocals, since we are all here, so enjoy this. GaGa really brings it on this acoustic version of Edge Of Glory from yesterday, and this was at 8am in the morning. The girl is major talented! Thanks for this, kanadie! It's beautiful!

The girl is major talented! Yes she is.. to bad she feels the need to copy from other artists.. ..and I do feel that is what she is doing.. I no longer buy the "paying homage" BS.. ..Its a shame I have to agree with you, Seashell. I use to buy some of her music....not anymore.

Another proof, to myself, that Adam is never far from my mind! I am in Pittsburgh, took my granddaughter to a playground at a 10 sq mile county park. Then we went to the wildlife preserve. Walking to feed the ducks, saw mom, gramps, 2 boys, one of the boys, about 8 or 9, looked so much like Sauli and had a beautiful, blonde mohawk, styled, not hacked, like Sauli's. Then we went to see the peacocks. The male was strutting around, tail fully displayed, making noise and causing commotion to get the attention of the other peacocks, 3 females in his pen, a male and another female right in cage next to him. So Adam-like. Hi Savvy, I think he's in most of our heads most of the time! Kinda crazy, but it's just something we'll have to live with - probably forever. :-/ I see you're still in PA - hope the emergency is over and that you're just helping out/visiting. In any event your grandaughter is lucky to have such a cool grandmother!

I do think she is talented, but it gets buried under the hype most of the time.

I also think that Gaga is really talented, but the hype overwhelms the music. She is absolutely amazing live and a brilliant performer. TV and YT vidoes do not do justice to the power she has live. But this level of performance is just not sustainable.
IMO her songwriting is a mixed bag. Fame+Fame Monster has some pretty great pop song on them; BTW is filled with derivative and formulaic songs. I think she took the safe path and, in doing so, ended up not taking the kind of creative risks needed to top Fame/FM.
Plus, she worked for 5 years on the songs on Fame/FM. I recall that she said she wrote BTW very quickly and it just came to her and was very easy to write. Hard to create breakthrough material when you are doing megatours, every award show, and never stopping.
This is why I am so glad that Adam stopped and took the time to write music. I hope the music is as good as I imagine it will be and I hope it will sell a ton. But I know that I will love it.
This is a really tough market and just cause people like an artist, does not mean that they are going to sell a ton unless the music is really good. I really have a great feeling about Adam #2. Adam and everyone else who has commented on the music sound so positive about it.

I know people have very mixed feelings about Lady Ga Ga as do I but in her defense she is a great supporter of equal rights for the gay community, she is a very talented singer, songwriter, and was brillant on SNL with Justin Timberlake. Frankly, I think she's here to stay. People use to complain about Madonna years ago, myself included, and, IMO, Lady Ga Ga is much more talented. Is she as good a business woman? IDK. But she is a force to be recognized as someone who is having a huge impact on our society. And if she's willing to use her influence for civil rights more power to her. And, I will repeat, I think she is a great singer, song writer, musician.

Wow -- I am not going anywhere near the Madonna vs. Gaga debate. But want to say that Madonna is highly underrated as an innovator, performer and business person. And -- much to my surprise they are related -- popcrush.com/madonna-lady-gaga-distant-cousins/ So I will stay far away from this potential family feud. But most importantly, they are both on Adam's fav artist list. ETA: I think we have to wait 10 years for the Madge vs. Stephani debate. JMHO YMMV. But many artist who rise so rapidly cannot sustain it for long. Madonna is one of the few who succeeded.
