I think people who appreciate a good singer and musician see that Gaga is one of those and enjoy her for that. People who also enjoy the "freakshow" also get that fill with her too. I think she has a wide appeal to a lot of people for various reasons----and I dont think after as many records she has sold and fans that she has that she is really looking for "respect" at this point.
I'm 41 and "getting the band back together" - I will say, it's different than when we were all 31. It's like um, want a cup of coffee? Oh, no, it'll keep me up all night. Oh wow, is it 9:30 all ready?
Finally got all six of us together at once last Thursday, shooting for this coming Thursday again. It's starting to mesh up pretty good, they're all really good players. The singer is a huge hard rock fan, but I'm a keyboard player who likes the Fender Rhodes/Hammond type sounds. It's morphing into a hard rock/funky/jazzy thing. Sort of excited to get it out into the public at some point.
Arguably, she was better at her craft than about 99 percent of the rest of the world is at theirs. I personally didn't like her music, but I respected her unique talent.
Dead or alive....stoned or sober. She is still better than Gaga.
not a chance....Whitney sang other peoples music.. She didnt write much if anything and played no insturments.....she justhad a decent voice and atone time was a good looking women. She couldnt carry Gagas suitcase. I love how Gagas being different and her appearence makes people think she is talentless......
Whitney Houston was very much cast in the same mold has her Aunt Dionne Warwick. Both were outstanding singers, with powerful voices rooted in the same gospel sound, both capable of moving people with the emotion in their presentations, and neither of them did much original music. Dionne had Hal David and Burt Bacharach, and unfortunately, Whitney Houston paired up with an abusive thug. I am personally very sorry to see her wonderful voice silenced too soon. As for Lady GAGA; she doesn't do much for me. In fact I would never choose to listen to her music, whereas I have often chosen to listen to Whitney Houston, and I'm a huge fan of Dionne Warwick.
