But it's not just the crazy outfits that place her a cut above the rest, it's that every time she opens her mouth she says something interesting. Here are some of our favourite GaGa-isms:
"I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels."
"I am alone and miserable, but I like to be alone."
"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."
"I live out of a suitcase and I make music and art and I spend every dollar that I make on stage."
"I love Susan Boyle. She is my woman of the year."
"I didn't fit in in high school and I felt like a freak... So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with and they don't feel alone."
And let's not forget, she makes damn fine pop music.
