I picked this up today and I really like it. It's a great dance album and it's actually recorded pretty well. It's just fun but I am digging it.

    I think 3 songs off that album have hit number 1 and a 4th is going to be released soon which will likely hit the top 10 also.

    It's very well produced if you like that kind of music and the hooks on most of the songs are very catchy.

    That and Lady Gaga is quite easy on the eyes.

    It sounds great. I wish my new Pink CD or the new U2 CD sounded as good. At least someone still knows how to do it right.

    I am not so certain this lady is something I would go Gaga over...

    There are strong and persistant rumors that s/he was born male. It is my understanding that her career got started in drag clubs in New York.

    That said s/he is very talented and a pretty good performer.

    There are pictures out there that tell a different story. Personally, I don't care if she is or not. She just is not what I would call attractive in the least. S/he, as stated previously, is a very good performer.

    Lada GaGa is not a male, she is 100% woman and always has been.

    give the girl a break... she's only 23 yrs old and had instant fame... like her or not, she's getting a lot of airplay.. and airplay sells records.

    Add to that the fact that before she stepped to the front of the stage, she was a sought after backup singer and did more than just burlesque theater. She is also an accomplished artist on the NY club scene. The whole Lady Gaga thing is done to do exactly what it's doing attract attention. It's no different than Prince's flamboyance or David Bowie and the "spaceman years".

    She's a very talented piano player and singer.

    Her CD is't my bag, but I won't blow her off and say she has no talent because she made a pop/dance record.
