Is Gaga the most talented modern artist? She can sing, song-write, dance, act, produce, direct, play instruments, and she is very creative. Not to mentioned that she is at least good at all of these skills and amazing at some.

Obviously. And, of course

Is water wet? Etc.

Actually water isn't wet because the definition of wet is to be covered in water/or a liquid, implying water is covered in water/liquid which it isn't because it IS a liquid!

No, I can name a hundred different modern artists that are far more musically talented than her. Nick Hakim, Lalah Hathaway, Hiatus Kaiyote, Erykah Badu, Andre 3000, Ppp, and all of Snarky Puppy, just to name a few. Heck, even Grimes and FKA Twigs make music that they produce themselves and are far more musically intriguing that Gaga's. (I'm talking lyrics, key and time signatures, chord progressions, intervals, control of tone, etc as a whole).

 

Is she the most talented pop artist at the moment? Very likely. She's just not the greatest artist across all musical planes. Not even close. Sorry. I love her but no.

 

Also, knife me, but her acting is still questionable. It has improved A LOT, but even in the latest episode of AHS, she still had trouble delivering some lines. She's really good at portraying certain moods in situations, but horrible at others. She doesn't do a very convincing job at acting innocent, for example. She's good enough of an actress to be passable in AHS, but she is easily the 2nd worst actress in the season, right behind Chloe Sevigny. Gaga is an okay actress, at best a "good" one, and hardly an amazing one

 

Also, besides Speechless and You and I, we still have to hear a song entirely produced and written by Gaga. AS much as she writes her own lyrics, she rarely does it on her own. Even Venus, which she supposedly produced herself, received help and stems from Zedd. She's mediocre at many of the things you mentioned, but her fans are quick to call her talented on an area just because she did it once. Her instrumental talents only really go as far as piano, but we haven't seen her play anything demanding on piano in a very long time. Again, she's a fine musician, but  not even close to the best one out there.

You've got everything messed thrown.

Some examples: Erykah Badu dind't produced everything. And Gaga has only producers in her credits. Erykah Badu has so much more people in her credits...so this comparison makes no sense at all.

About Grimes: :toofunny: She is indie, Gaga always wanted to be a super star. Of course she needs professional producers, like  Erykah Badu. Do you really think that Grimes could make a performance like Gaga did at VMA 2009 for example ? Or Oscars ? I don't think so. 

Sorry, but your comparisons makes no sense at all. Especially when there are people in your list which are in so many disciplines behind Gaga also have totally and other ambitions.

In terms of the complete package? Definitely.

Truth^

There are better singers, there are better writers, better dancers, better pianists, but no one (to my knowledge) is as good at everything like she is. Gaga is Gaga :nick:

You're stinky

What are you talking about? Erykah Badu produced all of her new mixtape by herself, with Zach Witness only co-producing Cel U Lar Device. 

Yes, Grimes is "indie", but that doesn't disqualify her hard work and willingness to experiment. Grimes has shown a desire to break into mainstream before, most recently with Flesh Without Blood. She doesn't want it as bad as Gaga, and making ridiculous performances are not her style, but she pushes the boundaries of music itself much farther than Gaga does. She's one of very few popular shiver pop and witch house artists. 

Music and artistry are not about who can shock the most amount of people, or who can put on the biggest show. Artistry at its simplest form is the most beautiful. Snarky Puppy alone, they're a billion light years ahead of Gaga in musicality, and they are very successful with it. They can create a show just as enthralling as Gaga's without any theatrics. 

See:

 

Even more generic artists, such as FKA Twigs, who is trying to break into the pop scene, create much more intricate music, lyrics, and artistic videos than Gaga. FKA Twigs wrote, produced, and directed Glass & Patron:

It's worth to note that FKA Twigs also directed part of the M3LL155X short film, which was very well received and even compared to the legendary works of David Lynch.

Just because these people aren't mainstream doesn't mean that their artistry is less. If anything, it makes it easier for them to excel at their artistry, because unlike artists such as Gaga, they are not limited by the audience they would lose over it. 

Having different ambitions doesn't make any of these artists less talented. Wanting to be a pop star is not better than just wanting to make music for a living, which is honestly more respectable than just wanting to be famous. Doing something you love for a living is admirable, and if fame happens to come with it, then cool.

Talking about mainstream artists and considering the newly acting skill that everyone is satisfied with... I think so, YES!
