I am officially on the Lady Gaga bandwagon:


She is the real thing, and I love the way she presents herself. The more weird, the better. It is a complete and total fucking gimmick, but she manages to take it to extremes that I can appreciate, and it's backed up with actual songwriting skills. I'm in.
