The poll is the part of Time magazine publication's 2010 Time 100 compilation.
Praising the singer’s talent, Cyndi Lauper, Gaga's fellow pop star said that her lyrics are legendary and it makes the picture in the mind of the listener which is the art of an artist.
Cyndi Lauper quoted, "Lady Gaga's art captures the period we're in right now. These days, you go to a club and wonder who all these kids are. They don't seem to have jobs. How can they afford to be here?”
"Her song 'Beautiful, Dirty, Rich' explains that scene. It's about the New York prep-school party kids she grew up with. It's where she came from," Lauper added.
