Who is Lady GaGa?

I was introduced to Lady GaGa by my 7 year old daughter. Lady GaGa's music brings with it a beat that I love. Stefani Germanotta the name behind Lady GaGa cites a lot of 80s icons as her influences and I think it really shows in the music.

My daughter asked if I could go onto Youtube and find Lady GaGa for her. She told me the song was called Just Dance and when I repeated Lady GaGa's name back to her my husband nodded to let me know she'd got the right song.

 

Being in a bit of a 'stirring' mood I uploaded this video in youtube for her

She was not amused!

 

I have since heard that Queen was one of Lady GaGa's influences and she plays homage to them with her name................................my daughter doesn't quite believe me about this, but I swear it's true!

Lady GaGa actually cites Queen, Madonna and David Bowie among her inspiration, all acts that I love which is why it doesn't surprise me that I am really enjoying her songs and I hope she has a long and successful musical career. Critics have said that Lady GaGa's music has the old school new wave feel and I think I have to agree. That is why the songs are so catchy.

 

Like anyone who cites Bowie and Madonna as influences Lady GaGa says that she's really into fashion and believes that fashion and music are interwined. She creates her own clothes and before releasing her own record she teamed up with Lady Starlight on New York's Lower East Side. Lady Starlight is a performance artist, DJ and go-go dancer. Together the two Lady's collaborated in performance art pieces under the name Lady GaGa and The Starlight Revue.

    The Fame 

    Lady GaGa's Debut Album

    Unlike a lot of albums Lady GaGa's The Fame doesn't appear to have a few hit singles and lots of fillers, instead (rather like Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A.album) all of the songs sound like they could stand on their own as singles in their own right. It is so refreshing to find an album where all of the songs seem to have their own hook.

    Just Dance 

    Lady GaGa

    Just Dance is the title track off of Lady GaGa's debut album, it was also her first single. The tune is really catchy and has a good beat to it, it really is something that you want to "just dance" too! It is amazing then that Lady GaGa says it was written in about five minutes.............................maybe she was exagerating? She does say that it has some very autobiographical parts to it and is about going out with her friends partying.

    In the studio when Just Dance was being written were RedOne, Akon and Lady GaGa and according to an interview Lady GaGa had with adem RedOne played the synth and she started singing Just Dance and then she looked at RedOne and said what if this song was about getting drunk? Like being too drunk at a party........

    This leads to lyrics that Lady GaGa believes young people can relate to - where are my keys, I've lost my phone.

    Lady GaGa & Akon 

    When Lady GaGa was signed to Interscope she was partnered up with singer-songwriter Akon. Akon is the person who is credited with recognising Lady GaGa's vocal talent, he also helped to get RedOne to work with her. RedOne worked as producer on Lady GaGa's album. Lady GaGa already had a solid selection of songs, but wanted something a little different mixed in, the first song they produced together was Boys Boys Boys.

    Akon is also supportive of her fashion asperations.........................

    Haus of GaGa 

    Lady GaGa believes that music and fashion are interwined and wants to give her fans the whole package which is where the Haus of GaGa came in to being. Lady GaGa likens herself to Andy Warhol and the Haus of GaGa is her version of Warhol's Factory. Basically Haus of GaGa is Lady GaGa's collective who work on Lady GaGa's clothing, stage sets and sounds - her own personal team. In her own words -

    In this industry, you get a lot of stylists and producers thrown at you, but this is my own creative team, modelled on Warhol's Factory.Lady GaGa, Warhol style
    Everyone is under 26 and we do everything together.



    The team includes Lady GaGa's ex Dada and friends of hers from art school.

    Lady GaGa is planning to start her own range of clothes in 2009, one thing's for sure her clothes will be a far cry from her mother's style. Lady GaGa says that her mother inspired her love of fashion as she was always dressed in designers, but her tastes were classic Italian; a far cry from the unconventional, hardly there clothing that GaGa prefers.

    Lady GaGa & Paris 

    Hilton that is

    We're not talking about Lady GaGa's fashion assault on the 'home of chic' with her Harry Potter glasses and 'nude' leotard ensemble. We are talking about Lady GaGa and Paris Hilton.

    Lady GaGa & Paris Hilton both attened the same school - , but they never met until recently. Paris interviewed Lady GaGa at the Nokia 5800 launch. The were laughing about how they hadn't met and yet everyone always asked them about each other!

    During the five minute gigglethon, I mean interview Lady GaGa said that she loved Paris Hilton's single Stars Are Blind. Since this interview has hit the net rumours of a duet have also been popping up everywhere..........watch this space!

    Lady GaGa and Madonna 

    What They're Saying on Amazon about Lady GaGa 

    There have been alot of reviews about Lady GaGa on Amazon......and indeed everywhere. Here are a few snippets

    The music has a ton of energy, club friendly dance beats, and infectious pop hooks. A lot of the melodies has a good '80s vibe. The lyrics may be a bit silly and often on the stupid side but The Fame is not supposed to be a gloomy, melancholy album. This is a fun pop album.



    She's like Pop's saving grace. She has an original image, even if it is a bit of a flashback to the 80s ..........she's exciting, her songs will put you in a great mood, and she can actually SING!



    Gaga is going put the "culture" back in pop culture.

    Lady GaGa's Official Youtube Channel 

    Here is a video of Lady GaGa's hit song Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) because that's my daughter's favorite (this week anyway!).

    Lady GaGa has her own Official Youtube Channel on YouTube. This channel has her own transmissions as well as all of the official videos. To go straight to Lady GaGa's official channel all you have to do is click here.

    Lady GaGa's Loves 

    For such an extroverted person Lady GaGa is very shy when it comes to her sex life. The only ex she will talk about is Dada because he's now one of her chief collaborators at the Haus of GaGa.

    When quizzed about the men in her life she maintains her silence. She has often been reported as saying she has decided to marry her art instead!

    Lady GaGa will talk about other loves however. She loves:-

    Fashion
    YSL Bags
    Italian Food
    Versace Sunglasses



    .....and David Bowie's Let's Dance album!

    Lady GaGa & Tattoos 

    Yes, it's true Lady GaGa is inked. Lady GaGa has white roses and white daisies on her shoulders and her back. Kat D from tv's L.A. Ink actually did Lady GaGa's lower back - lucky girl!

    Lady GaGa also has a peace tattoo on her left hand.

     

    Lady GaGa is among a number of celebs that have been inked - would you like to get a tattoo too?

    Let's Dance 

    Like myself Lady GaGa loved David Bowie's 1980s hit album Let's Dance. According to an interview with Ruby Warrington for timesonline.co her favorite record is Let's Dance..............check it out.
