Annie Lennox is a much better singer than "Lady Gaga."
Other than having people insult her all of the time, the woman playing the "Lady Gaga" role has won the lucky life lottery. She gets to perform all over the world, gets paid a bundle, but wouldn't come close to winning a singing contest against real singers.
If she ditched the disguises and fake name, and went incognito to try out for a record deal, or a lead in a Broadway play, she'd get rejected every time.
She stands, poses, and lip syncs as people dance around her, playing the character "Lady Gaga."
You do know that she was signed to Def Jam at 19 before she ever came up with the Lady Gaga persona and she was an accomplished songwriter before "The Fame" even came out.
