It's too soon to see if Lady GaGa will be the next Madonna, but few artists have shown the originality, focus and determination -- not to mention talent -- of Ms. Poker Face.  She arrived fully formed as pop music's shiniest, innovative super nova. She's already spawning imitators. Do you really think we'd have Ke$ha's "Tic Tok" without Lady GaGa? The only question is: Can she continue to burn as brightly or will she burn out?
