The first song that I every heard by Lady GaGa was “Bad Romance”. I remember really loving this song a lot and always having the tune stuck in my head. However even though I really liked the song, I never felt that Lady GaGa had a spectacular voice. It always kind of seemed just mediocre to me. After I heard this first song, I would hear other songs of her’s on the radio here and there, but I always just half listened because I don’t know why my impression of her was that she was just an average female singer. I felt that she had a sort of “one hit wonder” sound. Now, I can say that I really like her music.

I feel that rather than Lady GaGa’s music seeming unappealing at first, and then later on appealing to the vast majority of audiences, she has always been appealing to almost everyone from the very start of her career. I don’t know if it was her crazy style that caught the attention, or her very upbeat, fun sounding songs that reeled audiences in, but there is no doubt that GaGa has always been a huge success from the very start. As the reader says in chapter 87, “GaGa can really sing and really write.”

Lady GaGa’s ‘dance music’ style is built around the “brawny, slightly overbearing synthesizers of Gary Numan and his British peers like the human League.” GaGa has a very loud, harsh tone to her voice that allows it to easily reverberate off of the walls in any room and give her no problem at all being heard. I think what makes GaGa so appealing is the fact that the majority of her songs are about not caring about anything, getting drunk, and being high on life; much like the vibe of the majority of The Beatles’ songs. However, although artists such as GaGa, The Beatles and many other artists give off this sort of “I don’t give a f***” vibe, I wonder if this is really the way these artists think, or if they just write lyrics like these to publicize their songs and make them more popular to the general public?
