Lady Gaga (aka Stefani Germanotta) is actually an incredible musician. She studied at the prestigious NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and was one of the few students given early admission at the age of 17.

It's an ignorant jab to discredit anything popular as being without merit. Loads of people said Facebook was a just silly toy for college kids.

Credentials and Education != talent and ability

I'm judging Lady Gaga based on brief fragments of recent songs I heard. Of course she may be pulling a "Jay Leno", using talent to produce the mediocre garbage that the mainstream media likes to promote.

Also, I DON'T use Facebook and Twitter. I never saw the point. Also, you're an IDIOT to build a web presence on Facebook, because then Facebook controls your ability to interact with your audience. Better to have your own site where your audience follows you directly and you control it 100%.

"I'm judging Lady Gaga based on brief fragments of recent songs I heard."

Well, that seems fair.

I could never stand to watch her for more than 30 seconds, because she's so awful.
