So true ... I don't really appreciate her current music (I mean like Brahms or Mozart), but she was so bluesy in the NYU talent show ( ▶ this video ). I could listen to music like that all day.

Lady Gaga (aka Stefani Germanotta) is actually an incredible musician. She studied at the prestigious NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and was one of the few students given early admission at the age of 17. It's an ignorant jab to discredit anything popular as being without merit. Loads of people said Facebook was a just silly toy for college kids. ▶ this video
