She, like them, is just a popular icon of our time. whether she will have any lasting impact years later remains to be seen.

Musically, I don't think GaGa pushes many boundries, but neither did the Beatles at first. Just wait until her popularity fades a bit. I expect big things from her.
I think she's just another pop icon who will go unknown in a year or so. The only long-lasting pop musicians that I can recall are The Beatles and Michael Jackson. Of course, I may be missing a few. Just look at pop musicians now... they're famous for a little while and then there comes a new one.
