Is Lady Gaga the Most Interesting Person of 2009?

Lady Gaga has been included in the ABC News list: Barbara Walters` Ten Most Fascinating People of 2009. Others that were included were: Kate Gosselin, Adam Lambert, Sarah Palin and Bret Favre. I must confess, I`ve been ignoring Lady Gaga heretofore. I`m cautious that way with new artists. This morning I purchased her CD The Fame on itunes and am thoroughly diggin` it!

Punchy, catchy little pop songs, evocative…confusing even? Lady Gaga reminds me of Deborah Harry of Blondie. I have a long road to ho, though, before I can penetrate the essence of her art *(excuse the Freudian slip up). The Fame is so Disco-esque, but somehow a horse of a different color. The interplay (foreplay?) between keyboards, guitar and a drum machine is intriguing. Prince comes to mind too. She is talking about the fast lane of the rich & famous. So MODERN for this old geezer.

Gaga is bodacious in her gear when she met Queen Elizabeth I! Great 30 pic volley I`ll link for ya. With her zany costumes now Cher (from the `70s) comes to mind! Maybe Lady Gaga soaks up the pop culture like a sponge? What do you think her secret is? Her ZEITGEIST? Is she original, or just ECLECTIC? Is Lady Gaga the most INTERESTING PERSON of 2009?
