Lady GaGa, an amazing artist, eccentric fashion idol and whirlwind of wackiness who in the past year has taken the music industry by storm and what a storm she’s caused. From controversial music such as ‘Love Game’ to outrageous fashion choices, GaGa is the hottest trend in music. GaGa, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina, has had a love and talent for music since the age of 4 where she started playing the piano. GaGa has been influenced throughout her musical career by glam rockers Freddie Mercury and David Bowie and her music created through these influences and natural talent can be heard in her albums ‘The Fame’ and ‘The Fame Monster’.
I think Lady Gaga is an original and interesting artist as there are so many different factors that make up her act from fashion and music to stage presence she has everything one looks for in a stage performer and musician.
GaGa’s music is controversial and original with lyrics such as
‘I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free’

Lyrics such as these bring media attention good and bad and therefore inspire me to bring slight controversy to my own work to try and gain a reaction just like GaGa does. Lady GaGa has shown the world that being different and controversial is not a bad thing and that differences should be celebrated and this is the kind of message and inspiration I would like people to draw from my own work.
