Lady Gaga has been an artist I least expected would get as big of a critical reevaluation amongst online music circles as she did. Over the past decade Gaga, like many artists of her time and caliber, was mostly dismissed by critics as a "cheap shock act" and a "performatively messy" wannabe weirdo desperate to stick out.
