Lady Gaga

New York Times:

More than an ordinary pop star or fashion muse, Lady Gaga seems closer to a gamer's creation. Her synth-pop music, with its hiccup hooks, help explain why she is rated No. 3 in Billboard's annual recap of Top Artists of the year, and why she was also termed the top new artist on that same list, and why her name is among those most often searched on the Web. But the voice without the package would equal a novelty act in a Singapore hotel lounge.

The critics don't know what to make of her...yet. They'll jump on the band wagon all late like they were in on the joke from the jump. She's hiccuping her way to the bank.

She's a real-life something but I haven't figured it out yet!

Is that true? Do the experts judge Gaga as not having singing and song writing talent? I think she sounds great.

It's true.. because it's really true. No singing voice. Anyone can sing, but no songbird that's for sure.
