Ashley 9,600 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 As far as more popular/mainstream pop girls, I agree. But there's artists like St. Vincent who I'd say are just as talented as Gaga. It's not a competition, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga has/had an enormously talented team behind her. Fka Twigs and Lana del Rey are really talented too. Is Grimes considered a "pop girl" in your book?

Her unique style and control over her entire work such as directing, choreographing, writing and producing, etc. plus her drive is admirable. All of her bodies of work is killer.

Vocal ability is a factor that Gaga has worked her whole life for, and I think we can agree that Grimes isn't on her level in that area. I love Grimes, btw. I just discovered her a few months ago. EDIT: I also don't consider Grimes pop at all aside from a few songs. You have a point there, but Grimes produces and writes all her music, it all comes down to taste at the end though, I think I prefer that over vocal prowess.

Plus she is artistically versatile, she can sing any music genre and make it sound genuine. And she has been doing it since she was 13!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that. I think what made Gaga start to love music was the performance aspect over having complete artistic control. That's why she is comfortable having a team and giving credit where it is due, respecting her fashion designers and the Haus (is this even what it's called anymore, or did they just give up during the PI era? ) She was born first and foremost to put on a show, and I think she does it better than anyone They / Them 🏳️🌈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 17,875 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Selena Gomez is her only serious competitor in terms of talent but luckily Gaga peaked long before Selena began spreading her wings so there was not a conflict of interest between them.

Wenli 826 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Among the mainstream artists? Absolutely. I do not consider people like Janelle Monae, Kimbra, St. Vincent, etc mainstream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more you broaden your horizons in terms of music the more you realize that. Don't hate me please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
