Yeah, every generation has artists who go outside of the box and try (and perhaps succeed) to make a statement. The Beatles, Jimmi Hendrix, Madonna... Bjork also comes to mind from my own high school years. Anyways, Gaga seems to be that icon for today's younger generation. I don't relate really, as I don't listen to the radio for the most part (NPR and Loveline only plz!), so I have no idea what's all hot and new in pop music these days.
However, I have watched a couple of Gaga videos, because I had to know what the hype was about.
I can't deny that she has a great voice and is quite talented when she sits down at a piano, but the convoluted, synthesized pop music that comes out at the end of the recording/producing process is what turns me off. I don't really do pop music anymore. It's not what it used to be. :(
