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.
