Lady Gaga

I've always seen her as a Marilyn Manson of pop music. People seem to either love her or hate her, she admits to her influences, can sing (but uses sonic trickery to SUIT the song in question), has charisma, great style (which IS original, just not new, there's a considerable difference), she writes her songs which contain sarcastic commentaries on fame love and money), wears ridiculous amounts of makeup, and she loves David Bowie.

...I like her. x)

I don't get the whole comparing-her-to-others thing. Or indeed any comparisons of any artists. People are inspired, and there's nothing new under the sun, people are going to be similar no matter how hard they try, and all these "original" acts just get to certain ideas first is all.
