Yeah, I always thought Lady Gaga was a total freak until I saw her duet with Tony Bennett. All her crazy stunts made me think she was a talent-less attention getter. There are a lot of those in the music business - always have been - and they usually use antics just like Lady Gaga did to get attention, often to compensate for lack of talent.
But I think in this case, Stefani Germanotta - Gaga's real name - actually developed some talent over the years or she always had it and I didn't notice 'cause I resist being drawn to controversy and attention-seeking stunts. She's a beautiful singer with attention-getting charisma. No need at all for the flamboyant costumes. I also thought she did a good job in the remake of the movie, "A Star is Born," so she may develop an acting career too.
Now I kinda like her. But I do wish she always wore classy clothes and stopped trying to do stunts. I personally prefer her when she is dressed nicely and acting demure. A little orneriness is wonderful, but goofy stunts really detract by distracting her audience away from her talents.
