Profile:
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, born March 28, 1986, better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She initially performed in theater, appearing in high school plays and studied at CAP21 through New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before dropping out to pursue a musical career. After leaving a rock band, participating in the Lower East Side's avant garde performance art circuit, and being dropped from a contract with Def Jam Recordings, Gaga worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. There, Akon noticed her vocal abilities and helped her sign a joint deal with Interscope Records and his own KonLive Distribution.
Gaga rose to prominence with her debut album The Fame (2008), a critical and commercial success which produced global chart-topping singles such as "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". A follow-up EP, The Fame Monster (2009), was met with similar reception and released the successful singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone", and "Alejandro". Her second full-length album Born This Way was released in 2011, topping the charts in more than 20 countries, including the United States, where it sold over one million copies in its first week. The album produced number one single "Born This Way". Her third album Artpop, released in 2013, topped the U.S. charts and included the successful singles "Applause" and "Do What U Want". In 2014, Gaga released a collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett titled Cheek to Cheek, which debuted at number one in the United States and became her third consecutive number one album in the country.
Gaga is noted for her flamboyant and diverse contributions to the music industry via her fashion, live performances, and music videos. With global album and single sales of 27 million and 125 million, respectively, as of June 2014, she is one of the best-selling musicians of all time. Her achievements include five Grammy Awards, 13 MTV Video Music Awards, and 11 Guinness World Records. She regularly appears on Billboard's Artists of the Year lists and Forbes' power and earnings rankings, and was named one of the world's most influential people by Time in 2010. Outside of her music, she is noted for her philanthropic endeavors and activism for LGBT rights.
Lady Gaga has a Mezzo-soprano vocal type.
Vocal range: 2.7 octaves (C3-B5)

I honestly find Lady Gaga to be by far the greatest, or should I say most tolerable, majorly-successful pop star in today's music industry. While much of her music is trashy, vulgar, and meaningless, she is a genuinely talented and fascinating person, which is seen more on her albums than on her singles and music videos. Some of her music is absolutely outstanding, while some of it is just awful. Hopefully, in her career, when her success and her sex appeal start to fade, we will see more of the genuine, talented artist that she really is.

I have no complaints about her image and her shows. But the music component of this woman is awfully flashiness & vulgarity. Talented man will not be able to present cheapjack songs like these.

I've read that she has got a high musical knowledge, she play the piano and she composed first ballad at the age of 13! One question arises: if she has this musical preparation, why she does this awful ""music"". Her lyrics are so terrible and his music is so disgusting ( to say the least!!). The are two options according to me: 1) she has not talent 2) she has got talent, but she doesn't want to use, because she is only interested to become popular in some way, and earn a lot of money, through her controversial image! Or maybe is a mix between the two options. Posterity will judge.

Forgive my bad English, but the song "bad romance" really brought a new concept for music, it's new romance, as the title goes, bad romance.
And if you have seen the music video, I suppose you must be impressed by the unique appearance of Gaga, it's kind of Judgement-day emotion. And this time it reminds me of Visage. I hope Gaga can go on do it like this.
But there is still limitation, why dance with a group of accompany dancers? You can do it in a post-punk way.
Go for it, you cant be Madonna, but you can be yourself.
Peace.

If 'music' is pure hype and nothing beyond the forced sensational appearance, then Lady Gaga is the most 'unique' character these days as we're brought to accept (or believe).
Life on this planet in general is so bizarre, I really don't see the difference in Lady Gaga's self mass exploitation. So, what is she so unique about after all?
Being so desperately hungry for media attention? Her 'extravagant' looks? Her 'controversial' claims of (supposedly) being a transsexual? Her aggressive PR campaign? Her music? Her stardom? Being the new 'Madonna'? This last one, I choose to ignore.
Lady Gaga is nothing more but an INSTANT icon based on various blueprints (including Madonna's). One in a row. Intelligent but expendable and she's aware of it. Sucking out the juice while it lasts. Will we remember her after a five years time? Maybe... Who knows... If she delivers a proper album free of mainstream cliches... Something 'unique' in sound and image...
Now that I am constantly forced to 'know' her - reading this-and-that about her, how she enjoys herself, how special she feels, how she wrote material for other (instant) pop 'icons' of her time, and how she's giving away hair with the next edition album of "The Fame" (?!) - is there really musical value to all this? Or just plain entertainment?
The thing that is interesting in all this media-hungry mess frenzy, is what does a true fan think of when listening to Lady Gaga?
I dare say, most fans very probably adore Lady Gaga for the wrong reasons - remember, if she can do it, so can you. Only maybe even better.
