First of all, I'm not a Lady Gaga fan, never been. Not even at the top of her game, when she took over the music industry releasing a string of massive hits. Hits which were presented as an artsy way of expressing herself while, in reality, they were just eurodance beats often accompanied by a video about her being naked most of the times. Oh, look, a blonde white skinny young female without clothes on. How original.
While everyone in U.S. went "ooh" and "ahh" for Lady Gaga's "refreshing" sound and stage presence (at least she can sing and play instruments), we in Europe weren't really hearing nothing new as we actually invented that sound during the 90s. The only original thing she has done, somehow, ismaking it popular in the global market.
Eventually she became so popular that most people started adoring her like a new messiah (Madonna) and other popstars joined the compliments wagon even if it made them look like lesser deities. Probably because the one who dared belittling her, Christina Aguilera, received so much backlash she still has to fully recover from it. The critically acclaimed version of "Paparazzi" performed during the 2009 VMAs was so much well received that even I, by watching it live as I was living in North America back then, had to admit that she was here to stay.
