I thought Kylie Minogue was considered fairly squeaky clean back in the 80's - an artist of the SAW production line....
Take the point about Madonna though, she did cause controversy at times.
Has not been seen on Youtube a fraction of what she has "apparently" Youtube is the indicator now of who rules the world I say it is a group of people just watching the same video 400 million times myself to boost fake results
Still obviously Gaga is 100% acting, she is an actress putting on a show, and it is working - so job done - even if it has all been done in the past. The Now is all that counts, and right now she is making more cash that god, Jacko and Elvis combined she cannot play the Guitar as well as Elvis, or dance as funkily as Jacko, but hey she has them funky costumes and a fake Penis rumor that keeps her in the spotlight all media is good media.
You really do like to spout insanely exaggerated bollocks don't you romero!

From wikipedia: "Presley staged the first concert broadcast globally via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii, seen by approximately 1.5 billion viewers". This is from an artist who came out before the internet and MTV.

Considering GaGa has sold around 10million albums and 35million singles worldwide and Jacko and Elvis are both the 2 greatest selling solo-artists artists of all time and two of the most widely watched live acts of all time, I smell a monumental amount of BULLSHIT emanating from your post!
GaGa is apparently a big Jacko fan. I imagine, not even she would say she's bigger than Jacko. Which is bollocks, obviously both Presley and Jacko are bigger, then and definitely still now. Given that she's only been around 2 years, she's doing incredibly well but lets put it in context. I appreciate Romero, something you find nigh on impossible to do .

She was. GaGa still clearly takes some inspiration from her and Madonna.

Classic Romero overstatement. She'll be forgotten in about 15 mins. The bizarro stage acts and appearence are designed to disguise the utter lack of originality in her music.

Maybe he was meaning at this point in time she's making more money than those other people... Cause she is probably the biggest selling artist at the moment?
15 minutes? I wouldn't go that far Mark. Both her album and singles shoot to number 1, no problem. She'll be hear for several years yet. No one her big lasts 15 minutes.
I wouldn't also say she has no originality. She's taken what's come before and updated it for the modern world. Obviously it's nothing outright new but she's definitely got talent. Besides, having little originality never hurt Tarantino.

To be fair, he probably did but is that even correct still? Jacko is still selling millions.
I can't tell Gaga apart from the other stuff in the charts. The only one I know by listen is Poker Face because it's been so heavily airplayed. I didn't find anything original or mind-blowing about it. Today's number one super-hot megastar is tomorrow's hasbeen.
Check out the Telephone video I posted. If nothing else, I reckon you may like it. When was the last time a 9 minute music video was released? Jacko maybe.
Good point. I've pointed him to the Telephone video, which I'm guessing he's not watched.
I'm not a big fan, don't get me wrong and I find her more interesting than her music but she is different from most pop stars (how much I won't get into). She's not manufactured for one.

You take stuff wayy tooo seriously obviously she has not sold, made more cash and been seen by people than Elvis, she has not even made as much cash as Elton, never mind Elvis. Hence all them smileys
Yes I admit I said this 2 times you crack fool "at the moment" so obvioulsy I mean, at the moment you doofus and "apparently" in quotes with a laffin smiley you knocker so go back and read everything again, as you obviously read none of what was written before.
You think Queen are overrated. There's really nothing more we can say.

Liberty X were heavily manufactured, GaGa isn't. Yes it's still commercial pop but she's the one running the show. If you'd watched the video you'd see that. There's not much point having a discussion if you cannot even be bothered to watch/listen to what you're talking about.
Their music has been popular for decades; a lot of their songs are known very well by people from many different generations, even kids nowadays know and like Queen songs, despite all the other manufactured pop going on around them.
When they were around as a band they were one of the biggest bands in the world; at the Live Aid/Band Aid (can't remember which one) concert they were said to have stolen the show as their performance was that good compared to everyone else (they were one of the few bands that rehearsed for their ~20min set); they sold lots of records and were quite influential in the music industry...
I'm sure someone more in the know will be able to cite more examples of how Queen were not over-rated.
Over-rating usually comes by the media hyping someone up and the public following like sheep. That did not happen with Queen.
"apparently" Youtube is the indicator now of who rules the world 
all media is good media.
