Since bursting onto the music scene in 2008, she has become known for her catchy songs, flamboyant fashion sense, and insane vocal ability.Gaga showed musical promise from a young age, picking up the piano at age four and eventually starting to perform as a teenager. She began setting out on a music career in the mid-2000s, deriving her iconic stage name from the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga", and spent years trying to make it big, in the meantime getting signed to Def Jam for only three months and becoming a songwriter for other artists such as Fergie, The Pussycat Dolls and New Kids on the Block and Britney Spears. She eventually signed a joint deal in 2007 with Interscope Records and KonLive Distribution, a record label founded by Akon, who she had impressed with her singing abilities. She had her mainstream breakthrough the following year with her debut album, The Fame.Okay, that doesn't cover half of it.Lady Gaga is, quite simply, the poster girl for over-the-top eccentricity in pop music. Between her outrageous outfits, her role-play crossdressing, her stylistic versatility, her incredibly trippy music videos and performances, and her camp sensibilities, she is easily one of the most...interesting pop stars working today, as this page will show you very clearly. Her critics like to point out that the entire point of Lady Gaga is her odd behavior and strange mode of dress, noting that without these elements of her stage persona, she never would have become as popular as she is today.The music video for her song "Bad Romance" became the first video to reach 200 million views on YouTube, and was also the most viewed video on the site for a brief period; it currently stands at 1.7 billion views. In 2011, her song "Born This Way" became the 1000th song to be identified as the #1 single in America by Billboard magazine since the establishment of the Hot 100 chart.Gaga has also become known as a force to be reckoned with in the acting field. She won acclaim for her lead roles as Countess Elizabeth (inspired by Elizabeth Báthory) in American Horror Story: Hotel and Ally in the 2018 remake of A Star is Born. For the latter film, she earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress and won for Best Original Song with the worldwide hit "Shallow" (a duet with her co-star Bradley Cooper); along with other award wins for the film, she became the first woman to win an Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Grammy in one year. Her performance in House of Gucci was also widely praised, with many saying she was snubbed of another Oscar nomination; however, she would later land another nomination for Best Original Song in 2023, having provided the Love Theme "Hold My Hand" to Top Gun: Maverick. She additionally appeared as herself in the season 23 finale of The Simpsons ("Lisa Goes Gaga"), in which she helps Lisa Simpson (and the rest of Springfield) with their low self-esteem.Following the 2014 release Cheek to Cheek, a jazz album made in collaboration with singer Tony Bennett, Gaga committed to making her public image Lighter and Softer. Her aforementioned breakthrough in cinema through A Star is Born was probably her most successful effort regarding this change in her image. As a result, the public has pretty much universally learned that Beneath the Mask, Lady Gaga is perhaps — gasp — a normal person (relatively speaking), just like any of us.Gaga is also known for her activism and philanthropy for causes including relief efforts for various natural disasters and COVID-19 as well as HIV/AIDS, sexual assault, Black Lives Matter, and global LGBT+ rights. She is particularly prominent as an advocate for the lattermost cause, being a bisexual woman herself; she has been celebrated as an icon to the gay community, and has credited this community with much of her early mainstream success. She further launched the Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit organization focusing on youth empowerment, in 2012. She additionally appears as "Zomby Gaga" in Monster High in a partnership with the franchise for the Born This Way Foundation.Gaga's most well-known songs include "Bad Romance", "Just Dance", "Poker Face", "Telephone", "Alejandro", "Born This Way", "Applause", and "Shallow". | |
