What is up with lady GaGa...why is she famous??

She's unique and creative. Being a gay icon doesn't hurt either.

Being that alone makes her set 4 life.
 
She's famous because she makes great "Pop" music. She writes most of her own songs and takes huge gambles creatively in performance and styling. Not saying Im a fan, but if u judge her from a pop music perspective, she does her thing. :dunno:

Yeah ... the thing I can appreciate about her is that she's put in her time building up her name/rep years back in the NY underground scene, and is reaping the fruits of her labor now (being affiliated with Interscope and all). Making that big money, etc. Taking alot of risks. Plus she's a PERFORMANCE ARTIST ... the show was fucking dope on Thursday ... and she isn't some lip-synching Ashlee Simpson or Britney Spears ... she's actually singing and doing some dancing ... and is out of breath later on when she's talking on the damn mic ... plus she's actually involved with the songwriting unlike alot of people ... she doesn't have 20 songwriters penning all the shit for her ... see the tracklisting + credits further in the reply ... her name's stamped all over the stuff ... I like the production work from RedOne too ... good shit ...

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter and performance artist. After being signed to and then dropped from Def Jam Records at age 19, she began performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side. During this time, she was also working at Interscope Records as a songwriter. While at Interscope Records, Akon, after hearing Gaga sing, convinced Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine to sign her to a joint deal with the label and Akon's Kon Live Distribution label.

Her debut album The Fame was released in August 2008 and was a critical and commercial success. In addition to receiving generally positive reviews, it has gone to number one in four countries, also topping the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart in the United States. The album's first two singles, "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", have become international number-one hits, and the former was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards. In 2009, after having opened for New Kids on the Block and the Pussycat Dolls, Gaga embarked on her first headlining tour, The Fame Ball Tour.

Gaga is inspired by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen, as well as pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson. She is also inspired by fashion, which she has said is an essential component to her songwriting and performances. To date she has sold over 20 million digital singles and more than four million albums worldwide.[1][2]

:confused:
 
can't sleep, surfin music videos on youtube.

Also wondering what the hell is a Lady Gaga?? Video clips have 90M hits.

Glad I'm not the only one wondering, just bumping.

Not a grunge/Alternative sound which I don't mind. More like a techno from the clips I've heard so far. (rave perhaps??)

Well, guess I wasn't missing anything.
 
I'm still laughing over a BGOL FTP having had the username "dude gaga" :lol: I swear to god every time I hear her name mentioned now I switch "dude" for "lady".

:lol: I just referred to it as "Dude Gaga" today. And "Satan Manning," I hate to give these free time having twerps props but there have been some funny names.

It isn't unique or creative... I heard the perfect phrase to describe it today-- "predictably unpredictable."

It's just like "Oh, there's Dude Gaga trying to stand out again."
 
I took my ole lady out to see Lady Gaga in Las Vegas in December.
Im not usually into pop music, but surprisingly, it was a good performance.
 
bottom line: music is a fashion accessory now, period. anybody the music industry markets and props up as "hot", the average person is gonna embrace no matter what.

a BLACK chick asked me the other day "so you don't like GaGa, why!?"

now, never, EVER has a black person asked me if I liked or didn't like Madonna, Britney Spears, Alanis Morrissette, or any other white "pop" chick EVER.

its not about the music anymore, its about selling a product, and the machine is mos def making its $$$$$...
 
Because she sold her soul to the baphomet just like J-z and beyonce,kanye, nas and basically the rest of todays music industry..... :smh:
 
Gaga is actually very talented. She has an ear and appreciation for music that isn't reflected in many of her 'pop' songs. She is actually a TRAINED musician that can play intstruments and sing.

I used to hate this women in the industry. I just wanted her to go sit down. Then I learned about her background, and how she approached her fame with a calculated angle, then followed my respect.

Thats why every award show aint shit....its a popularity contest its not about music sure their will someone who can actually sing and win an award but thats rare now.I havent watch any music award since 94......
 
What kind of a question is that?? 5 hit singles. Monster album (both versions).

Great songwriter. Great talent (vocal and musical). Distinctive image. Great performer. What else is there?
 
couldnt tell you one of this chicks songs.

might of heard it in passing,but wouldnt know who sang it.
 
anyone else think that Ke$ha is the walmart version of Gaga..:lol:

HEY! I actually like Kesha...that Tic Toc song goes hard on the dance floor :dance::dance::dance: :lol:

But, I recognize she doesn't have any real admirable talent..

Now, Gaga, she has been grinding for years...she does have good singing ability and can play instruments (well, at least the piano)...gotta appreciate a trained musician, cause there aren't too many of them in music these days...
 
I fuck with Lady Gaga. I thought she was just some other pop chick at first then I actually gave her a shot. I am feeling her I actually need to go grab the new album.
 
There was a void to be filled. Britney, Christina, and Gwen Stefani are all out of the picture, and the mainstream has a niche for a pop white girl with a hip hop friendly sound. It's all about timing and Lady Gaga filled that niche, since none of those white girls are poppin right now. Everything comes in cycles, Blondie was doing the same thing in 1980

:yes::yes::yes: Catchy records that have, in this market, "deep" meaning. I say that meaning compared to the crappy pop-stars, generic R&B chicks, she says something different and offers a show, which is necessary in SHOW Business.
 
She's famous because little white kids don't remember Peaches and Roisin Murphy, who provided her with her sound and look respectively... w/ a little Madonna and David Bowie thrown in for shits and giggles.

Same here, she has some tight songs tho.
 
Goodness you people are stupid. First off she is not a tranny. That was a part of a costume. She is famous because she jumped into a gay community that runs holllywood and she makes music that the majority of people like. She did the same shit Madonna did.
