OMG, Lady Gaga is a man.

Ha Ha....no kidding!

Who in turn was ripping off Marlene Dietrich from the 30's.

Agree, the fact is that her music is so bad that her gender doesn't matter at all

Probably, that's the price someone pay for being a second-hand singer.

WOW, you sound like a FAN! You don't know HOW rich or famous ANY of us are! Last time I checked, she was NOT on any of the lists. she did NOT do it through hard work and persistence, which I assume is what you were trying to say.

And writing decent original music can be daunting, and "pop stars" are a dime a dozen, so OF COURSE most don't write their own music. HECK, a lot of them may not even play an instrument. Does gaga(BrianMcLeod's video doesn't count)?

BTW gaga interestingly enough, whether bisexual, straight, male, or female, is *****NO***** lady!!!!!!!!! When I was a kid, lady was either used when making a compliment, or reserved for certain people. Gaga made much of her reputation by going to the mountain top and *************************SCREAMING**************** ******** that she was/is no lady. She did it by doing things like going to a sports event naked, or going to a show dressed in meat. She has also stated it on talk shows, interviews, and even her shows.

BTW I haven't heard too much of gaga, but BrianMcLeod's link shows someone that has a nice voice, but I don't think she knows how to use it, and she has "boilerplate" type music. Certainly NOT up to beatles caliber! Just stating some words to a beat doesn't make you a musician.
