Who is the better musician?
Gaga, Madonna, or Beyonce?

Before you vote I put some pros/cons

Bey:
Pros: 16 grammys (with almost 50 nominations), obvious superior vocal talent, one of the best dancers in the business

Cons: Steals writing credits, Shady Grammy nominations (her dad is a higher upper for the grammys), copying concepts for videos such as Single Ladies, Countdown, etc.

Gaga:
Pros: Slightly above average vocal talent, writes all of her own songs, mediocre dancer, plays piano, multiple grammys after only 2 Grammy award shows, comes up with the concept for almost every music video

Cons: Takes "inspiration" from Madonna, Grace Jones, Madonna, Kelis, Madonna, and Madonna

Madonna:
Pros: Queen of Pop, staying relevant for 3 decades, writes some lyrics, comes up with the concept for many music videos, helped changed how music videos are seen, best selling tour by a solo artist (she beat her own record)

Cons: Taken "inspiration" from thousands of artists/actresses/popes/grandmothers such as Marlyn Monroe, Goldfrapp, Kylie Minogue, etc. Shady ass writing credits. Trying to "stay cool" ever since her 'Hard Candy' album. Slightly below average voice. Mediocre dancing.

The choice is yours, I won't vote.

Could just be me, but if they don't write their own songs I don't consider them a musician. I consider them a performer. Maybe I just have a weird definition.

Good artist borrow, great artist steal.

Give those choices even I have to pick Gaga. She is the most rock, but that seems to have more to do with the fact she steals from music outside her genera rather than be stupid about it and steal off her contemporaries.
