Lady Gaga in my opinion is a very talented artist. Lady Gaga’s type of music would be considered pop music. Lady Gaga’s albums and songs have a feel to them. The feel I get when listening to Lady Gaga’s music is they always want to make me dance. Her music makes me feel a sense of confidence. She puts out a message in her songs. For example the song “Born This Way” is a great example of how Lady Gaga puts a good message in her songs. “Born This Way” Is about having confidence in yourself, and no matter what you look like, or who you are it’s okay because you were born that way. Emotions that evoked through her albums and songs are good emotions, all of her songs are very up-beat so when you listen to them they make you feel good. When comparing Lady Gaga to other artists it is difficult because Lady Gaga is her own type of artist. But if I had to compare her work to other artists I would have to compare her to Madonna. Madonna was a pop icon in the 80’s. She was a very daring artist in the way she presented herself. Madonna’s music was feel good kind of music, up-beat. Madonna’s music had some type of message in them. In contrast though, Madonna made some slower songs that weren’t that up-beat but Lady Gaga’s type of music is normally always faster paced. “I'm beautiful in my way, cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way” these are lyrics from the song “Born This Way” and I think this song and these lyrics are especially memorable because Lady Gaga is an advocate for gay rights and marriage and an advocate against bullying. This is memorable because she is sending an important message to her fans that no matter who you are that it’s okay to be yourself. “In my estimation, she's geniusly brilliant in all she does - with an innocence and coyishness that's fully deceiving” A critic’s review of her album “The Fame” I agree 100% with this review. Lady Gaga is a very talented person, and her image and her work sets her apart from many other artists. Overall I think that Lady Gaga is a very talented artist, someone who is always making headlines with her great music and unique image. I believe it’s worth the time and money to listen to her music and hopefully you find to like her music.
