Metal isn't really mainstream. About 4% of today's youth listens to metal. Mainstream music is what the majority listens to, and last time I checked, 4% wasn't the majority. And many metal bands make music for the sheer joy of making it, and not for the money and popularity like many pop musicians do.
Oh gee, I don't know, maybe because not everyone wants to be famous? Not everyone have sponsors either. And some don't like performing on stage in front of millions of teenagers.This may appear to be the case, but then why do you reckon she's famous and your everyday composing joe isn't?
I never said she was talentless. Walking up on stage is a talent in itself. I said she didn't have any real skills, i.e, she is unable to sing well without auto-tune and voice distortion effects. She probably doesn't make the lyrics herself, just like every other pop artist.I don't listen to Gaga, I probably never will, but to refer to her as talentless is lunacy.
It's popular because very few are actually able to sing well.Auto-tune, letting alone the fact that it's annoying, is popular and appreciated
Oh yes it does. A singer with an adequate voice would be able to sing better without auto-tune. So, a professional singer would sound worse with auto-tune.Auto-tuned voices doesn't necessarily imply that said voice is inadequate.
I think you've mistaken my opinion for an argument for why she lacks real skills. I said "imo her music sucks" because I don't like that kind of music. Why she lacked skills was explained afterwards."IMO" implies that it is subjective, hence you not finding her music to your liking doesn't render her talentless.
