I really don't like Lady Gaga - she dresses so weird that it distracts from her music. What about you?
I feel the same. That's what she's known for though, her unconventionality 
But I do admit: I heard her sings some old songs from the 1950's - stuff from the Sinatra era - with Tony Bennett and she was great. Apparently she was classically trained before she became unconventional in song and dress.
She started her career doing open mic nights and plays
Interesting. Do you know what Lady Gaga's real name is?
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, that's a long name
Not only is it a long name - it's also strange! I wonder if her ancestors are from some place like the Netherlands? I think she was born in Lenox Hill, New York which had a lot of Dutch settlers in the past.
Lady Gaga
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. She is known for her unconventionality, provocative work and visual experimentation. Gaga began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, before dropping out to pursue a music career. When Def Jam Recordings canceled her contract, she worked as
relief for me. Really beautiful music was always considered too weird by the normal kids and that was the first example where I thought, we've got them, they're hooked! I watched people dance to that song, people who had never heard of any of the music that I listened to, they heard that music in a club and went crazy". Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode said about her: "She always sounds exciting. She sings with a lot of sex–that's what I like".
