>"This is precisely the problem with Google. Soulless." A service like google doesnt need a "soul" , it needs strong products, great user support and fast servers. And dont worry about A/B testing music, producers knows what works and not , and are using the same gimmicks over and over again , and a lot of marketing techniques ( including A/B tested marketing ).

Is there something fresh and new in Gaga's music ? no , it feels over produced and over marketed , i dont think Gaga's music has soul , it is like mc donalds , pre-pooped food. It has no soul.



While I'm not a Gaga fan by any means, I do have to say that her music is a notch above typical canned pop. Sure, it borrows heavily from pop idioms, but it's got an edge to it that seems unique to her, and the lyrics address themes a tad more deep than most pop music does.

Even that's subjective, of course, but at least she writes and arranges all her own music which isn't typical of factory-produced pop stars.


> notch above typical canned pop

Sure. And there are at least 1000 notches above that.
