If she didn't try SO hard to stand out from everyone else, then I would be a fan. The sudden fascination with her over the past few months will die down eventually, and then they'll be another instant artist for people to be easily brainwashed into going crazy over.
Just my opinion.

I can see where you're coming from.
It's funny how easy it is to convince some people how "visionary" or "artistic" her clothes are just by her wearing the most random outfits. :P If she cut a cardboard box into the shape of a circle and glued it on her head, people would be over-analyzing it and raving about how artistic it was even as contrived as it is.
Gaga is very talented but I think her image will be what causes her downfall. It's a bit of a gimmick and after a couple more months it probably won't be as fascinating since she'd have worn every outrageous outfit imagainable to the point where it becomes predictable and people get bored of it. It's almost as if she's trapping herself in a box because even her singles thus far have been a bit typical...they've all had the same electropop/dance sound and a lot of people have been saying her songs sound alike.
That's one of the reasons I hoped "Speechless" as a single so it'd add some versatility to her discography.
