Lady Gaga and Stefani Germanotta the Talking Contra-Diction from West Coast Midnight Run

Her visual and fashion style is also anchored in Disco, the 1980s Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon along with
an updated cutting edge mature audiences, sexually saturated Daft Punk cyberpunk feel that evokes the heydays of art punk 1980s group Devo and the TV German-Canadian science fiction show Lexx, which started airing in the United States at the turn of the New Millennium.

Lady Gaga may have truly peaked in terms of her ability to climb higher in the coming years on the public fame scene. This may very well be the question on many industry watchers' minds, where will she go next and how will she evolve her style and career?

"It might not be showbiz for the rest of you, but for me, this is showbiz." She professed to Rolling Stone in 2010.

Pop music 'the cum shot'

- The UK Guardian

ArtPOP, her fourth studio album in a string of monster successes following The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born That Way, was denounced as a commercial and artistic failure by some critics just after its release and without the benefit of several months to allow the public a vote on the matter.

The Guardian's reporter felt there were at least six tracks on the album that were on par with her original breakaway hits if not outstanding.

Her next album, Cheek to Cheek is scheduled for release sometimes in 2014 as a jazz collaboration with music legend Tony Bennett.

For industry watchers the punk rock/
alternate pop scene is now an obvious
music category with guaranteed reve-
nue streams which will see many new-
comers after Stefani and her team.
The music industry will continue to
learn from its mistakes and will re-in-
troduce new players and artists with
an even more effective popular ap-
peal. We definitely expect to see a
third generation Madonna after Lady
Gaga has had her turn at the stage. How will the third hybrid reincarnation of Madonna and Cyndi Lauper shape up artistically and culturally? Something we won't know for now.

When a few of my colleagues became aware of the Verizon Chocolate commercials in 2010, some initially jumped to the conclusion it was Lady Gaga on the soundtrack.

But it was in fact Goldfrapp with Strict Machine. An interesting bit of trivia? If you listen carefully to Strict Machine and then play a golden oldie, Heart of Glass from Blondie with Debbie Harry, the sound is unmistakable and the similarities astounding.

Is Gaga strange? Really?... This would be an odd question in a world where the entertainment industry has often been said to be a fickle, narcissistic, contrived creature that has somehow survived and endured for ages. Is this a contradiction in itself? OMC, otherwise known as the Otara Millionaires Club from New Zealand, might play for us their hit 1990s single, How Bizarre!

"No matter what happens, I'm prepared to go down with the ship," Lady Gaga affirms to USA Today.
