I'm not really feeling anyone right now. Since the apparent retirement of JT, there really isn't anyone out there. But to be fair i haven't been listening to a lot of new material of late, but still, from the odd new song i've caught here and there, there doesn't seem to be much thats good.

As much as i admire the Gaga one and like her music, i have to agree with one radio presenter's opinion that her music lacks a little "edge"(i interpret that as sexiness), and if u listen closely enough u'll find that to be true.

I am currently trying to remember all of the songs i used to enjoy in the past and dig them up from wherever i can, from the remix of "fix" by Blackstreet, to Keri Hilson's version of "headsprung" feat JT.

Hey Flo, how're u doing!

Yeah, sure i think she is musically talented, has she not proven this?! Admittedly, she may not be no more, or not more so, than what is currently out there, but the fact still remains that she can at least play an instrument and apparently writes a lot of her own material. Of course i am aware there is a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to the msuic industry, but i believe her hype.

I think it is an industry standard now that u must be able to play at least an instrument fairly proficiently if u want to be considered seriously or even succeed. Going off tangent here, but i am curious about an apparent hate for Ms GaGa! I understand why a lot of females don't like her, but guys, i'm not so sure about.

Finally, it is my absolute belief that if Ms GaGa's music was slightly "edgier", she would be in league with some of the best ever. If she can figure out or if she is informed to give her music and overall personality a little more "grit", she would be the perfect female artist as it would mean there is nothing she can't do, and can't do well(A bit like Mr JT).
