"Lady Gaga is not original in what she is and her music. What makes her original is that unlike any pop artist before her she has created a career out of aggregation and mimicry. She is every artist before her. She follows an equation that is so parsimonious that it is profoundly unseen. Review her music and you’ll find, ABBA, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera. View her style you’ll see Bjork. She is a constructed amalgam and she knows that, which is why I find her a truly transcendental artist. She gives the consumer exactly what they need and desire."
