Lady Gaga: Fad? or Musical Genius?

Everyone knows Lady Gaga. She is known for her daring wardrobe, outrageous dance moves and music videos, and weird antics. However, a lot of people are speculating whether or not she is actually musically talented, or if Lady Gaga is just a musical fad. Do people like her because she has a great voice and has invented a new genre? Or do people like her because she is trying to shock the world with her outfit choices?
Personally, I adore the woman. People who have just gotten into her music, do not know about her amazing voice, and breathtaking piano skills. The world today is focusing mostly on her outrageous clothing and costume choices, and less on her actual skills. Although she is definitely trying to shock the world with her clothes, she also seems to be just trying to get people's attention to actually listen to her singing voice. Here is a video of Lady Gaga performing her song "Speechless" on the Ellen Degeneres show. This song really shows off her singing and piano skills. (Click on "Here).

Although I really am one to commend her for her beautiful voice, I also really am enjoying her wardrobe. I love to watch award shows and look in the magazines to see what crazy outfit she has come up with next. Most people think that her clothing may be offensive and too weird for the general public, but I think that she is being brave and making a statement. She is not trying to be a role model for anyone, and she is just experimenting in the public eye. Here are some of my favorite clothing choices by Lady Gaga.
