Behind all the showmanship, there is some talent.

Fifty years from now, will her name be remembered?

absolutely.. won't be around to collect the bet money tho. the Gaga is quite the musical genius.. you needn't agree. I love deep country music too.. and am a fan of deep baroque.. organ stuff and such.. Bach, Scarlatti, etc.

you got to check Weird Al Yankovich singing "Perform this way" it's hilarious.

Agreed, she's talented. She can write a catchy tune and she has a pretty powerful voice. She can do it live, at least I assume she can.

Here she is on the Ellen Degeneris show, singing "Bad Romance."

Fast forward to about 1:20 - and tell me that Neil Sedaka doesn't come to mind, especially at 2:25.

+1

And no one will remember her face, or her voice, because she's so much about the theatre. Which is too bad, because she can actually sing. But she'll go down as just another dated video performer.

Man, I miss the days when it was all about how good your music was, not about how you looked in underwear.

Or am I just old.

I think one of the requirements of being able to write good songs is to write songs in English or other universally acknowledged language. In fact until her bull**** came along I didn't think that ever needed explanation.

She ****ing sucks. Glorious will be the day that I don't have to listen to her crap in public anymore.

Very insightful, apple.

Lady Gaga is still young. She may be big on theatrics now, but there is still a lot of time for her to pioneer new theatrics or do something else entirely. She may not remembered for her theatrics to date, but she may be remembered for other things she may do in the future, and there's a lot of time for that.

she really is a fantastic songwriter.. She is simple now, appealing to the simple minded 'dancers' and those who need a voice of expression. Her melodies are catchy and oh so fun to dance to. .. Nothing extraordinarily special but they are all great! Her lyrics are brilliant if occasionally raunchy.

She sings and dances at the same time.. not so easy.. when she gets older she'll be sitting (soon enough).

I really like the video of her singing 'bad romance' on the de Generist show. enough links for now.

I admit that she can look pretty hot in her videos.. but without all the staging, she's actually a bit homely looking.

But I don't think she's gonna age all that well..

BIZARRE SEX SECRETS TINY TIM TOOK TO GRAVE

TINY TIM died a lonely and tortured man, insiders have revealed to STAR.
They say the wacky singer-despite his naive, flower-child image-had a dark side he desperately tried to keep secret.
"He lived a very sad life," says an insider. He was a mixture of weird behavior and confused sexuality.
"It destroyed his first two marriages-and left him all but friendless at the end."
The end came Nov.30 when Tiny Tim collapsed on stage in Minneapolis while performing his trademark song, Tiptoe Through The Tulips. He wes 66.
New York Post celebrity columnist Cindy Adams, a onetime friend who tried for years to help Tiny, says: "If you can believe it, his real-life self was even freakier than his on-stage persona."
"He was, even in his younger days, someone with all the makings of what you could call a dirty old man. Loved young girls. Loved the X-rated.
"Once, on a really quiet, private night, he said, 'If I hadn't become a singer, I'd have become a preacher or a porno star.'"
At the height of his fame-when 40 million viewers watched his 1969 wedding on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show-Tiny Tim dined with Marlon Brando, partied with Brigitte Bardot, befriende Liz Taylor and Warren Beatty, and recorded with Cher.
But he was a troubled soul who wished he'd been born a woman; he paraded around in baggy women's underwear; he never kissed a woman until he was in his 30's-and then felt he'd committed a sin; he was so obsessed with cleanliness that he showered every time he went to the bathroom, and wore adult diapers.
"He couldn't escape his obsessive-compulsive behavior," a source tells STAR. "In the end he was so drained, there was nothing left of him."
Born Herbert Buckingham Khaury, a Lebanese-American, Tiny Tim had a lonely childhood. "It's hard when you look so abnormal to the world," he would say years later. He was in his late 30s when he fell in love for the first time and married his 17-year-old "Miss Vicki" on network TV.
What began as a Tonight Show publicity stunt ended up as a nightmare, Victoria Lombardi told STAR in an exclusive interview last year.
"Tiny insisted we remain virgins until after we were married. He said he wanted to stay 'pure.'
"He admitted later that even though he'd never slept with a woman, he'd had sex with men ... He [also] expressed his desire to be a woman more than once.
"Nothing happened between us sexually for six months.
"Throughout the time we were together, we had sex just enough to have had a daughter."
Vicki said their short-lived marriage-they split up within three years and divorced in 1977-was marred by Tiny's gambling on horses and his declaration that he wanted nothing to do with his daughter Tulip "because she was a girl."
Tulip later had her own troubles, giving birth to a daughter, Charisse, at just 16, and living penni- less in a New Jersey tenement. She's since dropped out of sight.
Tiny Tim's reality was always at odds with his dream life, says producer and former colleague Bucks Burnett.
"He wanted the big-band show-business career, a room-service lifestyle with all the trimmings and, most important, pure love with the Eternal Princess," says Burnett.
But he ended up with a life mostly spent alone in tawdry hotel rooms, trying to make a comeback in small clubs."
"Two of his favorite topics of conversation," says Burnett, "were UFOs and Depends adult diapers. Tiny believed that the Earth will be invaded by space creatures in the early 2000s." Tiny told him he wore adult diapers, not because he had a problem, but because "they keep me clean every day. I prefer the extra-absorbency brand, not regular.'"
After a second marriage that was even shorter than the first one, Tiny lived alone for years in a $750-a-month hotel room in Iowa.
His diet consisted of raw potatoes, beer and jars of tomato sauce, and he ballooned to 250 pounds.
Last year, he married Sue Gardner of Minnesota.
He had his first heart attack on stage in September, but he ignored doctors' warnings and kept performing.
On Nov. 30, wife Sue was with him when he collapsed at a Women's Club of Minneapolis gala.
He was pronounced dead an hour later.
"I think the last thing he heard was applause, his wife says.
"The last thing he felt was my arms around him," she adds.
