GaGa brands herself "soulless"

Lady GaGa has described her music as shallow and soulless, telling Maxim she is following Andy Warhol's approach to commercial art.

Finally Lady GaGa and I can agree on something. She has revealed that she considers her music "shallow" and "soulless". But she thinks that by doing that she's being clever.

Here's what she told Maxim: "Warhol said art should be meaningful in the most shallow way. He was able to make commercial art that was taken seriously as fine art ... that's what I'm doing too. When you listen to a song like 'LoveGame', is it communicating my soul to you? No... I make soulless electronic pop. But when you're on ecstasy in a nightclub grinding up against someone and my music comes on, you'll feel soul".
