If vocals aren’t your strength, strengthen your visual presentation and make sure it’s extravagantly eccentric. I’m sure even Lady Gaga knows she’s not that good of a singer. She’s more of an entertainer than anything else and she spends more time planning out her costumes, props and concert theatrics before exhibiting them through her mainstream and infectious pop music. But she’s only one of many:

Cher: Besides her countless young lovers, which is still much lesser than the amount of plastic surgery she’s had, this goddess of pop had extravagant wardrobe too. She was the Lady Gaga of the 60s and everybody literally went Gaga over her for decades she had to officially resign from her career. Other pop stars either had their fame gradually dying, or they die. While Cher, she had to tell the world to stop. 

David Bowie: This guy had a music talent so great that he didnt trust his own personality to hold it, he needed to introduce his alter ego, “Ziggy Stardust”, to the world with all its shimmy glitter in the form of glam rock. He had over the top make up, he wore dresses to interviews and some people thought he was gay. Today, he doesn’t have make up on, he wears suits and he is not gay.

Madonna: Remember when she had sharp titties? That was her most Gaga-esque moment. Back when she still spoke with an Italian slang and thought Antonio Banderas was a bad actor because he refused to sleep with her (oops!), yeah she was extravagantly eccentric and used that as her cause to be rebellious. She switched religions so many times before landing on Kabbalah, which scared Guy Ritchie’s barrels off, and scared the Vaticans with her controversial mix of sex and religion. But if you strip all this persona off and just focus on her voice, she is mono-pitched and there is barely any vocal range. But we all still love her for “Material Girl” and “Vogue”. 

Bjork: Now, I’m gonna be overly positive here because I’m a big fan of hers. So everybody, biased entry alert! I’m sure you 90s kids remember her for: wearing that swan costume, bashing up cameramen, making highly abstract music performed in highly artistic and elaborate performances and most of all, you just have to admit that she does seem a bit socially awkward. But hey, out of all the “Gagas” here, she’s the only extravagantly eccentric one who is not driven by fame. She has a bigger vocal range than the rest and her visual presentation is consistent with her elaborate music; using harps, choirs, reactables and God knows what else. Congrats Bjork, you have “Declared Independence” from this list.
