Seriously... What's With This Chick?

If you don't know, this is Lady Gaga.

She's a big hit in the music world right now and I for one have absolutely no idea why. Have you heard her music? Poker Face? Just Dance? Love Game, where she tells you that she wants to ride on your disco stick?

Now, some may think I'm just being a crotchety old man who is ripping a chick for being not-so-coyly sexual after years of rap artists doing the same, but she can be as sexual as she wants. That isn't my issue.

My issue is that she actually sucks. Everyone can sound great with an auto-tuner and a catchy dance beat. Add to that the ridiculous outfits - she pretty much wears bedazzled bathing suits and jackets with shoulder pads all the time - not to mention the face paint or masks and you have the makings of one craptacular artist.

What makes it worse is that she is actually a classically trained musician who has written hits for various people.

Too bad all that has to be covered up by some elaborate stage persona and ridiculous attire...

Bring back good music!

I accidentally downloaded some of her albums from rapidshare and in those albums I liked only few songs. In the long run I agree with the author in that point that we don't have enough good music
