Oh my, where does the time go? Definitely one of her more underrated singles that deserved more.

I know folks used to joke about her being her generation's Cyndi Lauper but she's the only one I can see doing a Kinky Boots style musical. She's a full on theatre girlie.

Hmmm, I think there needs to be a 3rd option in the poll. I don't see her dominating per so because that's a tall order to be dominating over more current pop stars who are in their commercial primes but I also don't see Gaga ever really going away. I think she will stabilize, especially if she keeds the middle-aged crowd and keeps her talents diversified.

Cool interview. I feel like I'm getting a clear picture of her manifesto. I just listened to her album and it's a solid record.

A slay!

I'm sorry, I will never be on board with corporate companies and brands tweeting like some messy pop star and their bitchy stans. It's so corny.

Clearly a re-release of their 1996 debut. I wonder what bonus features it will have. It's amazing that we're now in a time where classic pop albums are getting Anniversary re-issues and are getting the reappraisals they deserve. Yay for poptimism!

The biggest question I have is, why now after all these years?? I know it's the 35th anniversary of 'Nevermind' but Nirvana should have gotten this many, many moons ago... like back in 1994. They had 2 Vanguard recipients that year and one of them largely pre-dated the MTV age.

Imagine arguing with anyone, least of all someone's rabid stans, on the app formerly known as Twitter in 2026 They all sound crazy af. I would've been deactived my account and went about my day.

Because with the right brand, they go hard as ****. Nothing like a crisp, perfectly salted potato chip.

Well she's always been referenced in various ways but there will be an uptick in direct references because she's now a whole generation removed from most of the current pop singers.
