Anyone can do their own ****, I'm looking for people doing their own **** and it being good. Gaga has a long way to go before she gets there. She is very hit or miss (more miss lately, ARTPOP was a complete mess, artistically). BEYONCE is an example of a concise, meaningful body of work. None of Gaga's albums are on the same level.

Your opinion of her videos or lyrics or ARTPOP is irrelevant. Gaga created them, that makes her artistic. She didn't have a team put it together for her to sing or show on MTV, she made what she wanted to make and let the listener/viewer hear and see it. This has resulted in mixed reviews (not negative) for the album, and positive reviews for the individual singles and videos she released this era.
Gaga's albums have high highs but low lows generally, excluding TFM which has 8 excellent tracks, both lyrically and production-wise, while having good variation in sound between them. I'd consider TFM a better album than BEYONCE. You can disagree, that's fine. It doesn't lessen Gaga's artistry or heighten Bey's. Gaga has a bigger hand personally in what she creates, and because of that I consider her a better artist.
