Don't call me GaGa...

I have been on a real kick of listening to Lady GaGa in the past week or so and I discovered the trick to this girl... at least, I think I did.

If you can get past how weird she is and actually listen to the music you'll find that it isn't half bad. My complaint that all of her songs pretty much sound the same remains, but she creates catchy songs and it has an 80's-like element that I really like. The electronic sounds and beats are well blended and she actually has a good voice. If you listen to live performances you can really hear the range and clarity of her voice that you don't hear on a recorded track. It is impressive and very surprising.

I was able to get past the fact that she likes to walk around with a birds nest on her face or dripping blood from her top on MTV and I'm kind of glad I did. Give her a chance, people...
