Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady Gaga has been on top of the world for nearly two years now. Though the 24-year-old initially seemed like an attention-seeking, one-hit wonder pop act, she has parlayed her outrageous fashions, catchy tunes, and racy music videos into a successful career as the current reigning princess of pop. She's sold over 15 million albums and over 40 million singles worldwide. Her music videos have been viewed over one billion times. She was chosen as one of Time magazine's most influential people in the world. She performed alongside Sir Elton John at the Grammys and took home awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording. She's headlining Lollapalooza. She's met the Queen of England. And soon she'll be graced with perhaps the greatest honor a mega-successful pop artist can experience: Weird Al Yankovich is working on a parody of one of her hits. But the backlash has begun.

Many skeptics have criticized Lady Gaga from day one, claiming she's all gimmick and no talent. While some have said her over-the-top outfits rival Madonna, her extreme fashions (like her see-through leotard and sky-high platforms pictured at left) often rub people the wrong way. Likewise, her raunchy behavior has come under fire after she made a stink at a recent Mets game. She showed up in lingerie and flipped the bird from Jerry Seinfeld's VIP box, where she was seated after demanding to be moved from the heavily photographed first row.

"You give people the finger and you get upgraded?" Seinfeld joked in a radio interview. "Is that the world we're living in now?" Jerry continued, "Get an act. Rhinestone bikinis and giving people the finger? But she is talented. I don't know why she's doing this stuff." When asked if Gaga's antics were all an act Seinfeld replied, "You know, you take one 'A' off of that and you've got Gag."

Grammy-winning singer M.I.A. has dubbed Gaga as nothing more than "a good mimic," while the legendary Grace Jones laughs off comparisons to her own work. Tori Amos thinks Gaga is a flash in the pan. Even bottom-of-the-barrel reality star Spencer Pratt says, "Lady Gaga is repulsive and classless." Yikes! (Also, takes one to know one?)

Is the world waiting for Lady Gaga to fall from her decadent, bedazzled throne? Have you had enough of her, or are you enjoying every entertaining minute of Gaga's career? [US][OMG][Flavorwire]
