54. Lady Gaga has an excellent voice.
Mon Feb 8, 2016, 11:35 PM

She is very talented. People who say "she's doing the same stuff with weird costumes that Madonna did 20 years ago" don't get the point. Madonna does not have one-half the talent or voice that Lady Gaga has. I think the weird costumes throw people off. They see the weird costumes and don't hear the talent. I think the same thing happened with David Bowie. Immensely intelligent and talented, but people saw the weird outfits and dissed him.


I'm one of those get off my lawn folks (baby boomers) who doesn't listen to anything past the late 80s, but Lady Gaga and Adele are the two young people that I can tell have great voices. Adele's songs all sound about the same. I think that's her problem. She needs more variety in her hits. Lady Gaga is capable of writing and singing a catchy, memorable pop song.


I thought Beyonce was vulgar and not to my taste, and Coldplay does nothing for me, but I would blow off Giuliani's criticism.

So does that mean Giuliani thinks that Lady Gaga is a Communist for wearing a blazing red pantsuit?
