Say what you will about Lady Gaga...the woman might just be the talent to define her era. While not a fan of the whole performance artist thing...go beyond the costumes, hair, make-up...definitely keep the attitude, and then you have the voice.
Even "back in the day" various artists like Kiss, Twisted Sister, David Bowie and Madonna, re-invented themselves to stand out from the crowd. Lady Gaga takes it to a new level. In this wasteland that is music today, I kind of wish her great stuff would have been heard without all the distraction.
Case in point. Listen to this clip of a live performance of "The Edge of Glory" on the Howard Stern show. The power of this vocal is just breathtaking. Drink it in.
Lady Gaga's actually someone that we all can enjoy in our house. Great vocals!
