The Mellotron Group

She still lives in her 1100 sq.ft apartment in Brooklyn. She's banking the  
money and she knows the moment can't last forever. At least she's a real  
musician and she writes her songs.

Well Frank. She can  sing. 
“Edge of Glory” and “Hair” on Howard  Stern……. is pretty darn good. 
I still thought “Monster Ball’ was  crap….bread and circus for the masses. 
But her and paino and her voice…pretty  good.

Jim,
 
Watch the video on  you tube of Gaga on Howard Stern. I used to feel the 
same way. I may not "get"  her but man can she sing and she is actually pretty 
down to  earth.

She wasn’t one of the greatest, and  that genre doesn’t fly with some….I 
don’t get Billie  Holiday. 
Or lady Gaga….but I’ll listen to Amy  Wino before I suffer Lady Gaga.

I agree... all these people are saying  that she was one if "the 
greatest"... Sorry... She was good...  but  great? 
 

 
She always sounded high to me...  slurring her words.. etc... Style?  maybe 
so... But considering what  has happened...
 

 
Unfortunately, most will remember her  for this performance:

Yep.  She had a gift, and a look.



I have to  confess that I didn't 'get' it about her at all. She could sing 
on key  without a doubt, but her voice was so mannered and affected that I 
couldn't  make out a single word she was singing, and that was even when she 
was  relatively clean.  

It's sad someone that young  dies, but really it was all her own doing. My 
sympathies are somewhat  restrained.
