She's pretty good. Nobody who likes Lady Gaga cares about pianists anyway.

That's the thing that Salami is trying to say, though. She's not that good, IE. she isn't notably good.

By who's standards? Gaga fans compare her to Katy Perry, not a concert pianist.

By standards of 90% of the people who defend her when I criticize her. You do make a good point, though, her appeal is not as a pianist but as a 'pop diva'.

I wonder if there is a confusion here between overrated and overhyped. Just about every rock or pop musician with any fame is overhyped, it's how the business of it works. But I doubt many say Lady Gaga is a particularly great musician.

I personally don't see her music or career as being so much overrated. Just "80s vibe" (danceable) pop music.

Into The Groove, Open Your Heart, Lucky Star, and Borderline are few personal favorites to mention.

Live To Tell was always my favorite song by her.

I thought you meant Lady Gaga for a moment!

Yes, that's the kind of slow, dramatic song that appealed to people so much in the 80's.

I'm not intending for this thing to go off the rails, but Katy Perrys output is much better than Gaga. She isn't a ****ing shill that panders to the homosexual community.

I'm serious. If I were trolling you, you'd already have made an ass of yourself.
