Granted Gaga does come up, but so does Katy, Adele, Nicki, Ke$ha, and Lana. Now do you consider all of these artists "influential" in Pop music? Point blank, Britney and Madonna are the only two artists who have made an impact, worth speaking about, in Pop music.

No, none of those names ever come up. Lana? Pop music? 
Gaga has made an impact that is undeniable.

-I will say that because, at least in the US for sure, dance-pop was not being played much at all. You had the occasional dance-pop album like Blackout or Loose or Rihanna's second & third albums that scored a few dance hits, but it was nowhere near what it is like now - post-Gaga, the mainstream became almost entirely dance and is still very heavily dance oriented, much moreso than any other genre. She & the Black Eyed Peas share responsibility for that, and it's really undeniable that the success of songs like "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" (along with the Peas' two big hits) had an immense influence on what the radio would play more. Instead of Mariah slaughtering the airwaves with her godly audience numbers, you had a large amount of huge dance hits with 150m+ audience peaks. If it weren't for a female artist having 4 weeks at #1 between her two debut singles, and 9 weeks at #2 for the second of those, you might not have Teenage Dream or Loud having 3-to-6 number one hits all with dance influences. And yes, other hits like "Hot 'n' Cold" and "Disturbia" had a role to play, but not as big role as Gaga's initial songs.
-Just because one initially became famous for something else and the other is seemingly diverging from the standard dance-pop path does not mean Gaga hasn't influenced them, which I think it's safe to say she has, or at least she's influenced their work if not the artist directly.

Well, if you look at the US Year-End for 2008, the whole thing was mostly Hip-Hop/R&B; but in 2009, Just Dance, Poker Face, Boom Boom Pow ( biggest hit of the year), I Gotta Feeling (and Sexy Bitch, if you want) charted strong and the following years a string of Dance/Club records are dominating the charts ( Tik Tok being the most successful song the year after along with other Dance/Club songs). 2011 rolls by and the Year-End is still dominated by Dance/Club songs. That's all there's to it.  |
And at this thread being more about of Gaga produced/wrote/did her songs or not instead of the what the OP asked. Casually it was the OP who went off-topic.

Wow... More then 1 person voted no. That proves to me that theres a good amount of people here who are just completely ignorant to anything gaga has accomplished or done. They will always be indifferent to gaga no matter what she accomplishes. No matter how many sales, no matter how many people try and blatantly rip her style (visually and musically), no matter what.

Yes, she did make it more interesting.
But I don't think her style of music really influenced the radio.

I know her stans like to say she was the one that created popular electropop, but I really don't think so. 
I mean, she obviously influenced Pop stars' images, personas and outfits, I'm not denying that, but the music part I'm still iffy on. I do believe there is a chance that down the line we will here the influence of her music more.

GAGA did not invent digitally altering your eyes to make them huge and doll-like. Every girl in the game is digitizing their eyes to make them huge and doll-like. Their paths NEVER CROSS.

Strictly about music no. When you are hot, people are marketed after you in an attempt to duplicate your success.
We can all agre Nicki and Katy take some pages from Gaga's book but musically they are not the same. IMO

Didn't Nicki imitate several artists in that one video? It wasn't just Gaga.

She essentially combined the best traits of all of the pop stars into one persona and brought heavy artistry back into pop. She is a wonderful singer, decent/sometimes great dancer, intelligent, and an excellent live performer. While she may or may not be the best in each individual category, she is the complete package. She has changed the way so many people view and judge pop music. Fun, bubbly music isn't enough anymore.

Anyone that denies that Gaga gave the biggest push in dance music's rise is suffering from heavy delusions.
Was she the first to do it? No. Would dance music be as big as it is right now without The Fame/Poker Face? Nope.
