Thanks, I was unaware of that. But in saying, most of the information I have come across could be interpreted in various ways.
"Baby Can I Hold You" is a deceptively simple, yet elegant folk ballad. The simplicity is something she was very keen to portray on her debut album.
The band she's with lay it all down with grace. A very nice little song.
As for Gaga, well, I think she is a real talent, and strip away the electronic and dance elements, and you can see really strong pop songs in there. I've never had any issues with an artist who can craft a great pop song- as mentioned above, we have Neil Diamond, Carol King, Bacarach, Peter Allen, Elton John, the whole of the Brill Building and etc. Nowadays, we respect their songwriter abilities.
With Gaga, go check out "Telephone" and come back to tell me it isn't a very well written pop song. It even uses the black keys!
