Lady Gaga: Original?

Whether she is popping out of an egg or wearing an abomination made out of raw meat, Lady Gaga is prepared to scrape any barrel in her ongoing quest to be both original and outrageous.

It is a shame then that this level of individuality does not extend to her music. I have listened to her latest this week, Born This Way, which at best is an over-produced mess. It also happens to bear more than a little resemblance to the Madonna classic, Express Yourself.

I thought it was just me, until I witnessed similar sentiments expressed widely on the World Wide Web. Surely she can do better.
