To be honest, she kinda did. No one was avant-garde since Madonna's rise in.. the 60's? She brought the fun in music back. Let me find a perfect example. Hmm, see, Katy. Katy Perry in 2008 was alright but this year, look at her now fireworks on ****, nearly naked in photoshoots with weird head ornaments ****. That's Lady Gaga's specialty and I see musicians changing their style, even newcomers like Lady Gaga's. Let's also speak about K$, she wouldn't be famous if she came out with a bold, free bitch style without someone like Lady Gaga to lead on.
