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. Yes. There's a reason SO many older, legendary artists connect and admire her...she truly is the real deal. I come with quite an unbiased viewpoint, I only really started 'stanning' Gaga upon the release of ARTPOP (which ironically was supposed to be her 'lowest point'). I haven't just blindly followed her from the start, I liked her but it wasn't until I started hearing about her musical skills and genuine talent that I properly started paying attention. She basically excels in everything she does, and no matter what anyone says, she is VERY interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Wonder, Sting, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Tony Bennett, Bryan May of Queen, Carole King, Julie Andrews, Elton John all stand behind Gaga. People who don't get Gaga obviously cannot see what these legends can see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizurl 1,801 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 In my opinion, no. She's got pipes and musical skills which she is rightfully acredited for. But she doesn't have a distinct enough point of view or expression to be regarded 'the Most talented modern artist'. That'll be a stretch. As much as she had influenced the music industry in some way (the theatre aspect in pop i believe is the most), she had taken influence from alot of other predecessors. Artists like Deadmau5, Skrillex, Florence and the Machine are more talented in my opinion. Because they bring something to the table which no one in history has ever done before. They brought fresh perspectives and original ways to make music. More importantly l feel, their music do not seem contrived and it truly represents their lifestyles and voices. And you can really see that translating to their music; a point of view or aesthetic so strong that you can identify things music or non music related to their artistry. I have yet to pin point what the Gaga DNA is, and thing is now i still vaguely understand her point of view because i think she takes elements from what inspires her so often that she is almost lost as to what she actually represents.

Saint Laurent 4,862 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 People coming in here talking solely about vocals and song writing abilities, clearly misunderstand the meaning of the word 'artist'. Sure the people you list are more poetic in their writing styles, but there's an absolute intelligence in Gaga's songwriting that captures it's audience: the general public who appreciate pop music above indie musicians. The phenomenon of Gaga, that she herself designed and created, rocketing her into stardom, single handedly makes her the most talented artist is popular culture. Then to add to that, she has an amazing voice, writes music perfectly for her audience, is an amazing performer etc etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadonnaGaga577 5 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 She is definitely the most talented modern day artist, and in my opinion may rival a lot of the great legends as one of the most talented. She doesn't fit in with the modern day pop stars because she is in a league of her own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga is widely appreciated by people who know talent because they live in that world every day. She is praised by so many because her talent shines so brightly. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Most of the people saying no are focusing on individual talents. It's the COMPLETE package. How many artists can do that many things at least decently? Also, I believe Gaga is very generous when it comes to giving credit to others. She's very hands on.
