When does style begin to overshadow substance?
I’m all for artists who are willing to parade around in outrageous couture, but Lady Gaga is certainly not the first performer to bring provocative drama to the music scene (see David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Madonna, Cher, Elton John, KISS). Some of the aforementioned will be remembered primarily for their musical contributions, while others for style. I’m inclined to believe Gaga falls into the later category. After reading a barrage of posts on my Google Reader today (example) expressing horror that Gaga didn’t take home album of the year, I’m left wondering - am I the only one who’s not gone crazy for Lady Gaga?
