Well quite, her looks are of no importance as to her worth. Ultimately neither is whether she wrote the songs or not. A lot of soul and motown was 'manufactured' - in that singers were chosen by producers/songwriters and hits put out.

The bigger question is whether Lady GaGa is going to revolutionise the music industry or indeed whether (as with Motown and Soul) we'll be listening to her in 30 year's time.

Personally I doubt it.

Just another pop clone that will wither and fade like the 2000 others...


She's manufactured. My partner is privy to people in the recording industry and she's just another brand. Madonna-lite.


What??? Next thing you're going to tell me that Pussycat Dolls aren't really a group of friends that paid their dues singing in smokey clubs and living in a van while touring middle america.

Stop!

I think many people would be surprised at how many bands are manufactured and don't write their songs, or if they do, have them re-written by producers.

And I also can't believe how popular some of it is. Lady Gaga is #1 on the radio charts last I recall a few weeks ago. That's atrocious.

almost positive Akon wrote most of her songs


even if its true so what ???!! the songs are nice songs -

and is ugly.
and she has a dick - so what ???!!


I wrote that because you said this:

israel wrote:it does look real and a support she rights her own songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I said she's ugly, because IMO, in a post-Crazy Frog pop world, looks of a popstar should be the #1 criteria given that music quality is irrelevant. Just see Katy Perry. She's an uglier version of Zooey Deschanel who tries to compensate by wearing next to no clothes.

Anyway, this thread should never have made 2 pages and we're arguing about nothing. But while Akon was mentioned, it's worth noting how great this song is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9hAPo9o-6w

israel, i'm a big fan of buttmuscles.com, so please don't take this the wrong way, but
1) that song rules. who says black dudes telling me, and the world, how cool they are isn't a profound and important message? and
2) lady gaga singing about being blind drunk in a club isn't intelligent.
Please don't hold up LG as a beacon of musical intelligence. As has been said, R Kelly fills that role quite comfortably with songs about his ex-gf burning his clothes, him and Snoop Dogg having threesomes with drunk girls and how much of a flirt he is.
