As Torrance Shipman once said in the 2000 classic Bring It On, "Missy's the poo, so take a big whiff."While that quote doesn't really apply here (aside from suggesting that Lady Gaga is indeed "the poo"), the point is this: As the driving force behind the writing and recording process of her music, the creative director of her album artwork, music videos, tour visuals, merchandising and just about every other facet of her career, Lady Gaga is a very new kind of pop star-one that sings live, writes and records, dances, styles photo shoots and waxes poetic about the lifestyle of the artiste.While many have managed to break the market on their own terms, I can't think of a single mainstream female pop artist in recent times who has exercised nearly as much creative control in both the audio and visual departments as Lady Gaga.
