GAGA–Oh La La.
Whether you love her or hate her, you have an opinion. What’s mine? Lady Gaga is an icon. Hating is pointless; Kanye said it best:
If they hate then let ‘em hate and watch the money pile up.
Her first album ‘The Fame’ topped charts in 4 different countries including America’s Billboard Top Electric Albums. The album also attracted critiques attention receiving six grammy nods. Keeping her momentum she released her second album ‘The Fame Monster’ which, she claims, is the manifestation of all the aspects of fame she fears. Fear of love, fear of relationships, fear of fame itself.
I can’t lie. I was once a hater, standing outside the illustrious Bath Haus of Gaga, peering in at 3 foot tall should pads and full sequin outfits. Especially after that horrid appearance in Beyonce’s ‘Video Phone’ music video. #fail. However, after seeing the video to her world famous single ‘Bad Romance’ the envelope was sealed. I am a Gaga fan. The singing, fashion, dancing, EVERYTHING in that video blew my mind.
She has set herself up to be one of the most creative and artistic performers of our time. She’s one of the few people that can sing and dance live while sounding exactly like her records. Even though she was robbed at this years grammys, IMO, she’s a true artist so she’ll just come back stronger next year. NBD.

Where she got her name? “The Queen song “Radio Ga Ga” inspired her stage name. She commented: “I adored Freddie Mercury and Queen had a hit called Radio Gaga. That’s why I love the name… Freddie was unique – one of the biggest personalities in the whole of pop music.”"
