A lot of people (fans and critics alike) have expressed disappointment over BTW, so I'm not sure it's
that overrated. Only Gaga and her die-hard stans overrate the album to the high heavens.
Honestly, I think she's both overrated and underrated. The overrated aspects of her are her image, and to some extent, her music. But what is consistently underrated is her talent. People always seem to overlook that beneath the extreme eccentricity who, yes, sometimes does try too hard, is a genuinely talented singer, songwriter, performer and pianist. Yes, perhaps Gaga doesn't exactly help things with some of her crazy stunts that overshadow her music, but honestly, it doesn't take much for someone to look up an acoustic performance of hers on YouTube and see that she doesn't deserve to be put in the same category as the minimally talented pop tarts.
Though I do agree that some of her stans do too much when they declare her to be a legend, changing the face of pop music, etc. But every majorly successful artist has stans that go overboard when it comes to hyping their fave (though some are admittedly worse than others).
And people NEED to let go of the "she's not original" argument. NOBODY'S original today, get over it!
