But duh, everyone who doubts her and then sees her live or even meets her says this. She's the real deal..

Yes, he does lol.
"'This is pure surface, no substance’ — which is traditional now in the United States." = Mainstream artists in the United States stress their outer appearance (surface) over their music (substance), thus overshadowing their talent or lack of it.
That mindset is had by A LOT of older individuals who just brush off new artists as lessors to those they grew up with.
In Gaga's case, more than most artists nowadays... Her image does takeaway from her talent, something also experienced by both Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. (Less on Nicki's part now that she has cleaned herself up for the better.)
