The strangest thing about Lady Gaga's music is how normal it actually sounds.1 Even dressed up like a Lord of the Rings extra, with her Andy Warhol cum-Black Widow makeup job, wearing a lightly seared pot roast that barely traces the outline of her pudendum, she has yet to recite Sarah Palin's memoirs in Cantonese over an African -influenced Baroque Waltz. (Now that would be Going Rogue!) Lady Gaga is still making pop songs, with choruses and rhymes and remixes on iTunes. If anything, her music is notable for how ultra-normal it is: everything she does seems to be directed towards her goal of being the most famous and popular artist ever, so at the very least, she's trying to be as accessible as possible. But still, she is http://bravecelebrityphotos.blogspot.com/. And so, the three obvious questions about Lady Gaga must be asked: what is her music all about, is she for real, and is Lady Gaga a genius?

1Chuck Klosterman makes a similar point in one of his bonus essays in the paperback edition of Eating The Dinosaur. He says "when people call Gaga a genius, they are usually talking about her media savvy and her ability to (seemingly) fool people into embracing the stupidest extensions of popular culture...Lady Gaga is the most famous pop star we've ever created whose music is completely unknown by most of the country." He goes on (in a footnote) to say that people can't ascribe a song title to her, or recognize "Paparazzi" when they hear it. Well, she had a variety of number one records when the hardcover edition of the book this, so that's plainly untrue, unless he's making one of those "not that big but unbelievably devoted fanbase" arguments, which still probably doesn't apply to the number one spot on the charts, given the radio airplay it would generate. Klosterman's point is essentially that her entire artistic form and persona is an attempt to be perceived as an important musician by those who don't like her. Essentially, her utter strangeness makes her non-fans feel like they must be missing out something - and Klosterman claims they're not, that she's just a good musician trying to make people think that she's important. Klosterman wrote this before Born This Way monopolized the airwaves, so he deserves a bit of a pass; he may have actually written the piece before The Fame Monster debuted. Whether or not you want to excuse his generalizations, his general point -- the mismatch between Gaga's costume and chord progressions -- remains cogent.

Most music fans first encountered Lady Gaga in the summer of Year One A.G (After Gaga), a time when Twitter was merely burgeoning, and Barack Obama was the most popular guy in the world, not the most powerful. (This is also known as summer 2008). Gaga's three hit singles, "Just Dance", "Pokerface" and "Paparazzi", embodied everything most people hate about popular music: over-the-top repetition, vapid lyrics, and predictable production. The songs all sound like they're trying really hard to sound like a song that would be popular, instead of a good song that actually becomes popular on its own merits. The acolytes of the Gaga: Artiste movement conveniently forget this, but Gaga's first mainstream efforts were much more Ke$ha than they were Keith Richards. Nonetheless, The Fame was nothing but a smashing success. (The title itself is perhaps already indicative of Gaga's tongue-in-cheek relationship with herself and her own imposed iconography.) This beget 2009's The Fame Monster, a standalone EP that bridged the gap between The Fame and what became Born This Way. And that was when things started to change, at least in the eyes of moderately interested pop culture peepers. Gaga's music got a little stranger, the carefree epicureanism of "Just Dance" exchanged for the pulp fiction of "Bad Romance". Her behaviour (as Klosterman discusses) grew even more avant-garde: she'd flip people off at Mets games; at concerts, she'd change outfits for every single song she'd perform, often dressing like a wild animal; she was near naked on the cover of Rolling Stone. One might interpret this protean behaviour as a reaction to her growing celebrity, an issue she has so explicitly cultivated an image of ambivalence about. It all reads as very intentionally like Michael Jackson - an artist she claims to hold some things in common with, aside from the obvious platinum-covered records they share. Nonetheless, amidst her growing eccentricities -- and perhaps unsurprising in a culture of obsessive voyeurism and espial -- Gaga has grown even more popular and even more important. And, at some point after a cynic said "she's just trying to be Madonna" for the umpteenth time, we all decided that Lady Gaga is definitely a genius.

A large part of Gaga's popularity is surely derived from a bewildered curiosity about her artistry - both trying to figure out what she's saying, and if her persona is fact or fabrication.

I don't believe it's right to judge music. It's so personal. Right now I'm possessed with this incredible instinctual energy to write joyous melodies. I don't know where it's coming from.

When she dropped her first single that soon became required music at every store in greater Scotland I didn't rate her beyond a poptart Madonna wannabe. But then I read some interviews where she gave props to many musicians I admire - including jazz and blues greats - and started getting press for her weird and wonderful costumes (love the bubble dress/bubble perspex piano). What she lacks in vocal prowess she makes up for in piano skills - she can rock the ivories in 2" fingernails. She inspires positivity in nontraditional communities, and she donates her time and cash to gay rights organizations and people who make sure kids get to experience music despite their lack of school music classes. Indeed, she gave a great shout-out to the band and choir geeks in her performance on Sunday - take that, cheerleaders!

I've been a pop music junkie all my life. I like the simplicity of a well-written pop song. I like that sudden realization that I've been unconsciously moving to a beat. Gaga writes good pop. The soaring chorus of "Poker Face" is delicious. Some of her songs irritatingly stick in the brain for hours. But that's not why I like her.
