Hermaphrodite, man, drug addict, alien, fake. All terms used to describe Lady Gaga's reign over the pop industry for the past four years.
She has been accused of "stealing" Madonna's style; not only vocally, but physically and fashionably as well. Accused of taking pieces of Michael Jackson and Prince to create a wave of musical shock value that hasn't had this much attention since the 80's.
Back off, people. Take a moment to accept the fact that this may just be what we are all not used to; originality and pure genius.
This woman is Julliard-trained, has had consecutive number one singles, three albums that have gone platinum during the first week of record sales, and is intelligent.
Accusations of theft regarding previous artists styles and visions are merely emulation for Lady Gaga. She has openly expressed her love and admiration for Madonna and Michael Jackson, but is clearly much different. She has a voice of epic proportions; something Madonna does not possess. The only similarity between these talented acts is the level of shock value they have provided.
Call her what you want. The reign of Gaga is just at its peak, and nowhere near over.
