avant-gagarde

Camille Paglia says:

Gaga is in way over her head with her avant-garde pretensions… She wants to have it both ways – to be hip and avant-garde and yet popular and universal, a practitioner of gung-ho “show biz”.

If avant-garde is advanced guard, or vanguard, is Lady Gaga indeed avant-garde?
