What makes Lady Gaga a visionary? I told someone I'm a visionary entrepreneur, and they said, "So, you're like Lady Gaga." I was flattered?

I think "visionary" is taking it WAYYY too far. I think that, just like Madonna in the 80's and Marilyn Manson in the 90's, she's a remarkable showman but, unlike them, has very little talent for writing real music. While many will disagree with me as the pop genre has embraced her fully and plays every single song she puts out (to the point of not being able to escape the madness on any channel), I feel like her music could be done by literally ANYone as it's extremely produced and lacks any heart or soul.

Given, it's danceable, but visionary? Again, I think that's taking it extremely too far. John Lennon = visionary Bono = visionary Easyeboy = visionary!

Lady Gaga = not so much...

I think you are right about Lady Gaga being a visionary. Visionaries are not afraid to step outside the norm, and won't be stopped at trying to reach their ultimate goal. A goal, which is always something no-one else believes in, and that many will say is absurd/impossible.

There is no doubt that Lady Gaga is doing things her own way, and that she's doing things no-one else is doing, chasing her own goal, which is not accepted by everyone, and not understood by many. She imagines "what does not yet exist but might some day", which is definitely some forms of visioning: it providea a glimpse into the possible future. In art, visionary art is often defined as having "luminous content and/or use of artistic techniques that call for the use of extended powers of perception in the viewer."

With Gaga's outrageous outfits and design choices, she really conforms to this definition for sure.

I think Lady Gaga is just an entertainment public figure, her vision is to grasp the entertainment wind, is the keen sense of smell for fashion , a good understanding and the right grasp of the elements of entertainment .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
