No, I have not. All of her songs sound the same to me, the repeated nonsense stuttering included. And I say this as a person who as listened to thousands of hours of techno/electronica/drum and bass.

I'm not comparing The Fame Monster to the Diabelli variations.

She's (very) commercially successful -- her revenues have surely long since eclipsed the entire D&B economy totalled over time.

Among commercially-successful acts, her product happens to be a lot more richly constructed than the competition. But the Mac isn't loved for it's BSD kernel -- it's the complete package. Gaga's success should be instructive to anyone hoping to make a splash in any industry.

Hit youtube and search for 'lady gaga acoustic'. You may be pleasantly surprised, as I was.
