To be fair though

I think most people write off an artist to some extent as "oh that pop singer" and if you don't like it you tend not to circle back to them.

I mean Lady Gaga is pretty far removed from the artist who most people saw when she first came out.

I don't hate pop music and so I was never put off by her - I liked the song Bad Romance - I consider it a top shelf pop song - Paparazzi was well written and has a fun video - and I like Poker - so Poker Face was fun.

I mean she did Joanne and a duet album with Tony Bennett - not sure people who wrote her off even know these things.

Indeed, I was watching a video by a vocal coach who was rating the vocal talent of female pop stars. Lady Gaga ranked an A - but he ranked Ariana Grande an A. I admit I saw a couple videos - heard the auto tune and wrote her off as one of those manufactured hacks - but no she actually has a pretty excellent voice - considering her age and the genre.

Just a small aside - I was in Vegas over Christmas and on Dec 28th I saw Celine Dion - it's sort of the thing to do in Vegas and this is her final run of shows. I saw Celine 24 years ago at the Queen Elizabeth Theater in Vancouver before she was a star. I must admit I was rather stunned that she still had the belting range at the age of 50 - and I am told this is very difficult in the dry climate of Las Vegas.

The next night Celine attended the Lady Gaga (Celine is a big fan apparently) show which MGM has created for Lady Gaga's Enigma Residency. I suppose it's tough to turn down the $70,000,000 contract.

And lastly, the Joanne album has a few tracks recorded analog via master tape. When I say Dianna Krall walking out of my LP store in Nanaimo, British Columbia to the hoots of people in the street - well - any girl into Analog is already aces in my books.
