When Lady Gaga enters the stage things explode. Her energy and star power alone make her more talented than most. But lets not forget she can sing her ass off live wearing 9 inch heals dancing around while her **** are on fire. Who else can do it?
And lets be real. Adele's voice is nice but it's not end-all/ be-all voice of our generation that people are trying to insist. And Arcade Fire is overrated hipster garbage for hipsters who wish they were overrated too. Hipster critics are trying to make them the messiah of the indie world but really they are nowhere near amazing.
