Lady Gaga

So, I've had a few complaints about how Lady Gaga is 'retarded' and has 'no musical talent'.
I would like to express my outrage at this, as I don't understand how people can just assume these things without knowing anything about her.
Having read her biography, I have learnt that she has been a classically trained pianist since the age of four and has been able to play the piano by ear since that age, too.
So don't tell me she has 'no musical talent'.
I have also been to her first opening night of her Monster Ball Tour in London and witnessed the most amazing performance you could ever see, her voice was so beautiful and very powerful. Just watching videos of her on the internet or on television is good enough, but listening to her sing in person is something else, it's incredible.
As for the people that say she's 'retarded', I don't know how they have the front to say such a thing for two reasons. Firstly, 'retarded' is an offensive term for someone with disabilities, so throwing the word around like it doesn't mean anything is thoughtless and immature. Secondly, Lady Gaga is possibly the most intelligent, down to earth celebrity that there is. She was a straight A student at school, so people that call her 'retarded' don't know anything about her and have no right to make such judgements.
People also link her to Paris Hilton because they went to the same school, but Paris is much older so her and Lady Gaga wouldn't have had a lot to do with each other during their school years.
This is an example of the rubbish that people are so quick to believe in magazines and newspapers.

Sorry for the rant, future posts will be more positive :)
