Should Lady Gaga Drop the Ball at Times Square This Year? (Because She Is)

New Year's is just days away, and New York City is eagerly preparing for its big Times Square countdown where nearly a million onlookers watch the 12-foot, 11,875-pound geodesic ball drop from One Times Square. The ball has changed over the years since its 1907 initiation, but for the most part the celebration has remained pretty predictable. But there's one element that changes every year: Who's gonna drop the ball?

The New York Post announced that Mayor Bloomberg picked Lady Gaga for this year's ceremony. She will press the Waterford Crystal button on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" at exactly 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve, formally initiating the one-minute drop into 2012. In the past, that position has been filled by influential figures like Muhammad Ali and Bill Clinton. Was it a good choice to pick Lady Gaga?

    I think that they should have the Navy Seals or a soldier who has just returned home drop the ball. That is something that all American's can appreciate.

    She doesn't use autotune... Listen to her live.
    And she's not a "Phenomenom", she's an "Avant-Garde".
    And THIS is not much about the music but about knowing how to put on a show, she does.

    Well, some people who love classical would obviously not like it. Others who prefer Country won't either. But Lady Gaga and pop fans will.
    I think good music is about taste more than anything.

    Plagiarize? Hmm, no...
    Sexy? Absolutely.
    Tell people what they want to hear? Not quite. She is simply herself - honest, bold, and no strings attached. She's even said more than once to those who disapprove of her that she doesn't much care, after all, haters can think whatever they want. That takes guts.

    Attention whore? Please. Don't confuse a marketing genius with attention whore.

    What you just described is more like Lindsay Lohan or Ke$ha than Lady Gaga.

    Wrong. Unfortunately no one will ever really forget about Bieber because he's so awful, but Lady Gaga has already made a deep mark on the history chart. She'll still be around for at least another five years, and hopefully more.
