Paraphrase/Quote:

The last claim that is prevalent in Robinson’s article is that Gaga is beyond comparison to any other star. Her incredible piano skills, her voice, her ability to write her own lyrics, and her eccentric live performances all combine to set her apart and far beyond any other pop star past or present. (Robinson, 2)

Original text:

But comparisons made to other female pop stars are simply beside the point. Gaga has a much better voice than Madonna, and she’s got all those serious Rachmaninoff and Beethoven piano chops. Unlike anyone else who ever sang while sitting at a piano…Gaga has pianos that are actually part of her attire..Unlike Cher, Whitney, or Britney, Gaga writes all of her own catchy, catchy, can’t-get-them-out-of-your-head songs. She swears that she doesn’t lip-synch in concert.”
