It seems that success finally gone to Lady GaGa’s head. In her recent interview with Vogue magazine, the singer boldly declared that she has “one of the greatest voices in the industry” and that she is “one of the greatest songwriters” in the game today.

However, GaGa didn’t stop there. While continuing to boast about her own talents, she went even further by slamming her fellow performers who choose to lip-sync on stage. Look below for all the details:

“Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer. I am a talented entertainer,” the singer tells the March issue of Vogue magazine. “I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters. I wouldn’t say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.”

“It’s so funny when people say, ‘It’s amazing to see how hard you work.’ We’re supposed to work hard!” she says. “I have the world at my fingertips. I am not going to saunter around the stage doing pelvic thrusts and lip-synching. That’s not at all why I am in this.”

“Nothing has changed since I have become a star,” she says. “I am a real family girl. When it comes to love and loyalty, I am very old-fashioned. And I am quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person.” {Source}

This is yet another example of how artists cross the thin line between being confident in their abilities and being blatantly arrogant. Although GaGa is certainly a competent performer, singer and songwriter, she has gone far beyond herself in thinking that she is one of the best in the industry.

There are several vocalists in the game today – Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Brandy and Jill Scott – who could easily outsing GaGa on any stage (even on their worst days). Furthermore, given the tendency of her lyrics to be perceived as shallow and sometimes quite confusing, her songwriting skills are hardly poetic – “walk, walk fashion baby. Work it, move that bitch c-razy”.

In before the lock!

This bitch done gone Kanye on us!!!!

Girl believes her own hype.

A friend of mine stated the the whole Gaga thing isn't so much about how she's the next Madonna but more like the next KISS. I think I agree.

lol if she's the next KISS, then she's gonna stay for more than 30 years!!!! lol lol

and what she has said is TRUE. Her voice is fine and many of her songs are very good, considering that she does mainstream dance-pop/rock.

I just hope her next album is strong or the backlash will be EPIC

"Unlike the chilly, hyperchoreographed seduction of Madonna, say, or the manufactured pop of Britney or Janet, Lady Gaga’s performance style is raw and emotional."

Well excuse me.

People act like her shit don't stink.

Sorry Ho bag, but there's at least 10 females i can think of (current and of yesterday) that are still working who blow you off the stage vocally, honey

Pink

Xtina

Aretha

Badu

J. Scott

Jennifer Hudson (though, ew)

Beyonce

Annie Lennox

Lalah Hathaway

Diana Ross

Basia

Gloria Estefan

Shakira

Celine Dion (though, ew, again)

people, don't get things twisted

she said I'm ONE of the best, not the best

she's just asking for respect, not worshiping...

Great visionary artist and performer.

OK voice

so so songwriter

Time will.

Until al the hype gets stale and some of these people are no longer cuming like the falling rain in their pants so much they get teary eyed and can't see straight, we'll know if her music will endure or be outdated horribly.

Wow!!!!!

Whatever happened to artists actually letting their talents do the talking?

A little humility never hurt anybody...

She ain't lying.

Ok Gaga... You are a good singer...but damn... That was a mouthful

Aint nothing wrong with being confident in yourself and all but.....um people that are "down to the earth" normally dont have to declare they are down to earth..they just are.

She must be on drugs....

Gosh I hate how these young artists think they are the best thing in the world

when they have hardly made any good music!!! Music is getting trashier and crappier everyday...

PRINCE 4 LIFE!!

Prince is humble?

He lets the music speak for itself because the lyrics are constantly praising himself.

"Cream" anybody?

Gaga is a good singer, but that's it. She can carry a tune, but she's not an amazing singer. Her voice is rather generic, not special at all.

Cockiness ain't cute on anybody--including Prince.

Likewise, Bob.

She can sing. She does have a good voice. A great voice, even.

If she was talking about the recent crop of new artists only, then she's probably right with that statement. If she was trying to say she's one of the great songwriters of this era, then she's probably right as well.

But if she was trying to compare herself to others from the past and say she's one of the best ever...she might have stepped in it a bit.

She's an average singer at best and a bad songwriter:

Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Whether you're broke or evergreen

Someone should tell this girl to humble herself. It'll be funny to see her reaction once the love dies down. She'll probably be all suicidal for her "little monsters".

But she's not even one of them and she needs to earn respect, not demand it with egotistical claims.

Sorry but i like her less and less each day. Not only is Born This Way the most over hyped song in my 20 years of living so far, she is constantly sucking her own dick

She has the best album of the decade, she is one of the best singers today, one of the best song writers, has the best song writers. And has written a song that will speak for it's generation as she wrote the next Blowing In The Wind.....

But either way i am not one to defend GaGa but... i will say this

I GOT SICK of Kanye after the Swift incident i didn't listen to his stuff for months.

And when MDBTF was coming out i was like... eh then i heard and my faith in Kanye was restored he is a big headed asshole but made an incredible album. And every time he say's something stupid i just enjoy the music.

So i will wait to see the song... and album....

"Born This Way" is nothing but an updated version of Express Yourself. I'm amazed that people give Caca all the credit for being such a groundbreaking artist when all she does is steal other people's stuff. Madonna, Janet, and even Whitney borrowed stuff from other people, but this is different.

Caca is also using Target to market the album. Target is anti-Gay!

I see nothing wrong with what she said

And Elton John said 808s And Heartbreak was the sexiest record since What's Going On.
