Maybe Gaga is an average singer/dancer but I think she is talented, and even has so good jazz piano chops. I think it's great she is keeping the tradition of the Great American Song going. Probably here fan base wouldn't have the exposure to that music if it wasn't for her.

She a pop star (singer,dancer,actor,song writer.....) Not a vocal powerhouse like Whitney Houston, but compared to Madonna or Cheer, I'd say she has some talent.
