Lady Gaga
Many people would say she is crazy and outrageous with her wardrobe, but I would say she is unique and loves to make a fashion statement. Her name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, but in the music world, she is famously known as Lady Gaga. She had revolutionized the music world with her pop music in the new century. Lady Gaga has recently broken the Billboard Record Charts with the most No. 1 singles from her debut album The Fame. Her No. 1 songs include “Just Dance,” “Pokerface,” “Paparazzi,” and “Bad Romance.” Lady Gaga’s songs are original and are not like any other pop artist. When comparing “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga to “Tik Tok” by Kesha, Lady Gaga has more of a calm tone compared to Kesha rocker tone. Kesha has an image of a rebellious teenager, while Lady Gaga’s image is a well poised woman with an edgy side. After listening to Lady Gaga’s song “Telephone” featuring Beyonce, I imagined the music video being shot at the night club scene, but Lady Gaga thought differently. The lyrics itself says, “Can call all you want but there's no one home and you're not gonna reach my telephone! 'Cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub' and you're not gonna reach my telephone.” When the music video for the song “Telephone” was finally released, I was speechless. The setting for this music video was at a prison and later at a coffee diner. Never in a million years would I have thought that this music video would have taken place at a prison just by listening to the lyrics. Her music videos are always memorable because she always does the unexpected. The Rollinstones rate her album The Fame Monster with 4 ½ stars and says “fame monsters needn't concern themselves with originality”. I agree with the Rollingstones’ review. Even though her lyrics and personality do not make any sense, there is just something about Lady Gaga that makes the audience go “Ga Ga.” Her music is worth our time and money because she has had four No. 1 singles on the Billboard Charts from her debut album. Lady Gaga just recently added five No. 1 singles to her name with new song “Telephone” featuring Beyonce just reached No. 1 on the Billboard Charts.
