What makes Gaga, "Gaga"?

[REALITY 76,691]

So, I just wanted to know your opinions on what makes Gaga, well, "Gaga". Obviously we're on a forum about her, but no ordinary fan would spend their time on a forum solely about Lady Gaga. And for that reason, I just wanted to know why Gaga isn't just like every other pop star, to you. 

Sure, she has her avant-garde clothes and catchy songs, but to me, Gaga's a true artist. She isn't flaunting her body for the sake of it—but instead there is a true artistic meaning—and every thing she does, no matter how big or small has a meaning behind it. Not to mention, she cares immensely for her fans. But in a world, today, where there people in the music industry, and I suppose just in general, may not be their true, authentic self, it's nice to see Gaga as someone who is.

for me, she's literally the best out there. better than ANY other artist

Spoiler

this is my personal opinion, not a fact

So, you're saying even this extravagant piece of work had artistic meaning behind it?

Her extravagant outfits and music videos. But also you're eighth about her being one of the only artists now. Some are just singers (and many not very good at that) but Gaga's performances are truly different, I mean, cmon.

She's a walking, living, breathing piece of art in motion. Her performance goes beyond the stage and album and into real life. Sort of a 4-D type thing if you will. She really is a remarkable and brilliant creature when you look at her whole career in context.

Talent, performance art, thought on everything she does, good music.

She's encased in a hot dog, which represents the cages and chains that she was previously forced to dawn. The exotic dance is just her trying to break free from it all, but now, she is free. Gaga is free.

No no no. She is representing the misogyny inherent in the music industry. Note the obvious phallic symbol!

Well in the 6 years that I've gotten to know her, the only consistent factor that I have found that probably truely makes her "Gaga" is that she's always confusing as f*** 

[Warholian 6,880]

She's a ****ing 70's glam rockstar trapped in a 10's popstar body. 

[Chicka 2,385]

Not only is she so talented and true to her art, but she seems like a completely genuine person as well. On top of her just seeming nice and generous, any celebrity or person who has met her, from anything I've ever read or heard, has said she is very kind. So that, mixed with the talent, the intelligence, and the authenticity, makes her special.

How do you not get that this is commentary on the nature of the music industry? 

The music industry forced her to become the hot dog she is today; a processed piece of meat that barely resembles what it was before it was ground down and forced into her "casing".

The most theatrical singer?

[Weasel 12,525]

The fact she got puked on, released a Jazz album with Tony Benett and starred in AHS all in a year or so
