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.
