Sure, this is about as far from news as things can get but no matter what people think, she hasn't gotten to the top of the popular music mountain by being a talentless hack. Her music, while not for everybody, is legitimately popular. She sells singles via iTunes better than almost nobody else and she has dominated radio for the past year without taking a break.
The best I can come up with is that she's a distraction. During times like these (dank, cold weather following nearly endless snowfall; shitty economic situations; etc.) we would rather be distracted than reminded about our own pitiful lives and if that means visiting Huffington Post to look at Lady Gaga - a performance pop artist - and critique her latest "holy shit" fashion moment then so be it. I know I'd rather take a break and check out an attractive woman - yes, she is normal underneath all the make-up and bizarre outfits - than focus on the fact that my needs hundreds of dollars of repairs in the near future. Factor in that either Lady Gaga's sporting some camel toe or her pearl bikini bottom is somewhat wrinkled and awkwardly positioned and the photo above is the most perfect blogosphere fodder yet this week. (Take that George W. Bush billboard in Wyoming, MN!)
