Being older, I have seen almost everything from the entertainment field so nothing that Lady Gaga does is NEW to me. So much of what she does reminds me a lot of old Elton John from the mid 70's and Madonna (80's and 90's) especially the blond ponytail swinging around. She takes a little bit from everyone from Elvis to today's singers and a little bit from old Sci-fi movies.

I will say some of her music is catchy but she does a lot of gimmicks since that's what the kids seem to like no matter what decade.

I like Lady Gaga a lot better than Taylor Swift whose boring and bland and I am in my 50's.

Love Justin and Gaga's skits though on SNL. Love the Barry Gibb Talk Show but this one was sort of lame. The other ones were much funnier. Hoping the REAL Barry Gibb will show up one time during that skit.

A lot of what she does reminds me of early to mid 80's Elton. I love how she is influenced by him, Motley Crue, Poison, Bob Dylan, The Beatles. It's great that she wants to be like these people and adores old music. I watched her eTalk special last night. I didn't think I could fall more in love with her, but I was wrong.

The only thing I didn't like about her SNL performance was the fact that she transformed the stage to look more 'Gaga.' It is supposed to look like Grand Central, that's what makes Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live.
