   I'm not into club/pop/dance music myself (anymore).  [I *did*     
   enjoy the odd beat-based repetative sequence briefly when I     
   *did* go to some dance clubs or house parties waaaaay back in     
   the day]   
      
   No doubt, the Gaga persona is very talented and knows how to     
   control her voice and stay in key. But most of her appeal     
   requires the visual theatrical element too to draw attention     
   (albiet distracting from the strange lyrics at the same time.).     
    To me, she can't seem to sing many songs independent of fancy     
   studio techniques and remain interesting enough that bear     
   repeat listens. Most of her songs seem to have a gimmick to     
   draw attention. When she gets loud, her voice sounds screetchy     
   to me.  I thought the pair-up with Tony Bennett could work..     
   but I don't think she's worthy of the blues or crooning style     
   for the long term.   
      
   She seems to do the visual + pop/dance/club style well.
