All the producers you mentioned worked with her on a track-by-track basis. The producers change on each track, but the only common demoninator on either of her albums is herself. By no means do I think she is a musical genius, and she may not be responsible for every nook and cranny, but she certainly deserves most of the credit.

Really? I already stated that being part of a team doesn't make Gaga unique and that it's already a common thing. You pointing it out - as if it somehow counters anything I've written - only makes it look like you haven't read my posts.
It's just a comment. She's more produced and marketed than most artists out there today. I haven't said she hasn't got talent. I'm just saying if you think her act is genius, include some praise for the designers, producers and songwriters
If you don't think Lady Gaga is "designed" somehow, then I believe you are being naive.
