Lady Gaga provides a refreshing return to the art of performance

Max Eternity - Taking cues from Grace Jones, Debra Harry, Madonna, Bjork and Annie Lennox, Lady Gaga offers a refreshing approach to the art of performance, proving that talent does have a place in the overly-homogeneous, carbon-copy, mainstream, corporate music world. With Gaga,'s recent arrival on the scene, it's also a departure from the norm to see a young woman--an artist--flaunt her sexuality and individuality while also being acutely aware of the'pornification' of celebrity and the accepted representations of misogyny in mega-media imagery...using her work to point out such curious ironies.
