Annie Lennox 'Completely Entranced' by Lady Gaga

Annie Lennox has taken to her blog to profess her love for pop wonder Lady Gaga. The former Eurythmics singer, whose successful solo career has spanned nearly two decades, called Gaga "groundbreaking."

Recalling her own experience as an inventive performer, Lennox championed Gaga's steady supply of costumes and set designs, as well as her collaboration with Elton John at the Grammys and her work with Cyndi Lauper on MAC 's Viva Glam campaign for safe sex and the eradication of AIDS, which the two artists recently discussed in a 'Good Morning America' interview.

In a post on her official site called "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" -- a nod to Spoon's 2007 album -- Lennox writes, "I have to say that I am completely entranced by Lady Gaga...She is completely off the scale on just about every level, and I'm just loving it!"

Lennox is also an activist, and recently raised AIDS awareness by performing in a t-shirt that read "HIV Positive" at the 2009 Rock Hall of Fame concerts, where she sang 'Chain Of Fools' with the song's original singer, Aretha Franklin.

Lennox also noted Gaga's "stamina and chutzpah," adding, "I can tell you, that it takes f........g HOURS and a TEAM to make up and dress up on a daily incarnation like that!!!"

Lennox, who is considered the most successful female UK artist of all time due to her combined work as a solo artist and as one half of the Eurythmics, declared that Gaga has "smashed the cookie-cutter tedium" of the current music scene. "She's the real deal."

really and truthfully, Annie is showing a lot of class when giving props to GaGa because Annie was doing all of this 20+ years ago. Listen to "Bad Romance" and then "Sweet Dreams"- SAME SONG!!! LOL. Annie should sue!! LMAO! I guess someone has to pass the torch to the next generation. I must say the GaGa does have a great voice, I am not undermining her talent one bit!

I agree with Annie on how amazing the production Gaga is. I still don't like her album. I wish she would do stuff like she did on the Grammy's. On the Grammy's performance they talk about mind control weirdly enough. Google Lady Gaga Mind Control and prepared to either laugh your buns off or be totally freaked out.
