I want to say she is.

But talent always wins, and well...she hasn't been doing that lately.

She is more talented than most members of the GP, however

REALITY

I'm not going to be biased and say "yes" just because she's my favorite artist, but I don't think she's the most talented modern artist. She's one of the most talented modern artists, but I wouldn't say that she's the best.

There are plenty of other artists out there that I'm sure are just analytically better than Gaga, but the reason I love Gaga is because of she's genuine about what she does. She's an artist not an "artist", she's able to perform a plethora of different genres well, and has true passions and ambitions (American Horror Story: Hotel, Born This Way Foundation, and Emotion Revolution). She uses her fame for good, not to get more Instagram followers.

Yes. I could say that Gaga is the most talented of all of the most modern music artists.

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

Not only do I think she's one of the most talented performers of our generation but also the most versatile

She is (ONE) of the most talented modern artists.

There are so many, it's no just Gaga in the industry. People like Florence Welch are also incredible.

In mainstream pop, yes definitely, but it would be impossible to say who is the most talented in the whole industry.

If talent always wins, why is Lana doing so poorly with her last two albums?

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.

You can't tell me that FKA twigs or Grimes come anywhere near Gaga when it comes to being the full package. Most of twigs' sound comes from Arca and both of them have just passable voices.

Good to know.

And having read your earlier posts it's clear to me that you are also deeply and uncontrollably insecure. This hasn't exactly been your year, has it? But if you think you hate yourself now, just wait till LG5 relights the universe next year HAHAHAHAHA!
