I'm not into club/pop/dance music myself (anymore).  [I *did*  
enjoy the odd beat-based repetative sequence briefly when I  
*did* go to some dance clubs or house parties waaaaay back in  
the day]

No doubt, the Gaga persona is very talented and knows how to  
control her voice and stay in key. But most of her appeal  
requires the visual theatrical element too to draw attention  
(albiet distracting from the strange lyrics at the same time.).  
 To me, she can't seem to sing many songs independent of fancy  
studio techniques and remain interesting enough that bear  
repeat listens. Most of her songs seem to have a gimmick to  
draw attention. When she gets loud, her voice sounds screetchy  
to me.  I thought the pair-up with Tony Bennett could work..  
but I don't think she's worthy of the blues or crooning style  
for the long term.

She seems to do the visual + pop/dance/club style well.
