It's the best thing that could have happened for Gaga. No way Def Jam was going to let her do the Pop music she wanted to do. According to Gaga (from an interview 2 years ago) there were creative differences from the start and they believed that no one wanted to hear electro/pop music. She is now a huge international pop star and Def Jam still hasn't caught up with what happened.
They mad cuz gagas became the biggest thing since britney
I'd say the biggest thing since Madonna, really. It's been a LONG time since a pop star has been able to create the kind of waves Gaga's been creating based on the music and performances alone, and not by being a tabloid queen. #NTNS
