Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I can't understand the fascination with, Lady Gaga. Perhaps it's because I've seen it all before when it was done, better by Madonna. I don't know why she wears the outrages outfits, or behaves in such a manner. I know a lot of it has to do with publicity. My question is, does she have actual talent? Can she actually sing? I know she can play the piano I saw her do a duet on some tv show with Elton John and she seemed to have some amount of talent.
Does she really need to act this way?

well, as you said, for publicity. i thought that way too when she came out with poker face. i hated her then. i thought then that people just loved her because of the outrageous outfits she always wears. but when i saw her perform on AMAs, i gotta admit she actually has talent. and the thing that's good about it is she always performs great when she performs live. and you can't help but look forward to what she's gonna do onstage, she always has a gimmick.

I personally think it's not just for publicity. She sure can sing. And she proves it whenever she plays the piano. Also, I believe she has written a lot of songs for different music stars like Britney. So she definitely knows a lot about music. As for the way she behaves, she's really an artist. Artists have their own way of expressing themselves. If she dresses the way she does, it's her own unique way of telling the public that she's different from the other pop artists.

They have different ways of expressing themselves I guess. People do have different personalities and individuality. Maybe, they just do whatever floats their boat. =)

It's not all actually about publicity. The point of the outrageous outfits is so she can make her little monsters feel comfortable being who they are, she was always told she was weird and had problems being accepted in society, Lady Gaga fans are just people like her, people who have some sort of problem being accepted in society. That's the point of the outrageous outfits. And yes she has talent, she is one of the most amazing singers I've known, she always always always sings live, she never lip-sings .
