I think she may be taking herself too seriously - just as Marylin Manson did. Where does inspiration and homage end and appropriation and derivation begin?
To me she seems like a club-kid turned DJ turned popstar. Like Kid Rock, or Andrew WK, I don't see what the big deal is - it's well-designed pop, and an artist image that suits it well.

Am I wrong in thinking that the "martyrs of fame" aren't meant to be famous martyrs, but people whose death was attributable, at least in part, to their fame? Like Princess Di, (God forbid) Marilyn Monroe, etc.?
I am definitely thinking way too much about this. I couldn't even recognize a Lady Gaga song if I heard one.

If you love it, that's cool. I've heard a lot of people go on about her exceptional talents. On that note, I'm of the belief that I don't have to recognize talent that doesn't get used. I don't have to like crummy songs on the speculation that she chose to write 'em crummy on purpose, it's deep and I just don't get how clever she is. But you go ahead without me.

This alone is enough to place her on the Enemies of Hovy list. Her music isn't bad, and the crazy outfits and whatnot are fine, whatever floats her boat.
But helping Michael Bolton? Oh hell no.
