Lady Gaga to me is definitely a musical genius. I could argue for hours that she is the most creative and original artist out there right now which is why I can comfortably say, I've gone Gaga.
She is my favorite artist right now because she started out from scratch, because her music is fun and catchy and her style is astounding, unique and impossible to ignore.
Lady Gaga (whos real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) started out performing when she was a child to basically any audience who would watch her and eventually started doing shows up on the Lower East Side club scene dancing and singing her heart out in her home crafted outrageous outfits - which usually consisted of hot pants and a bikini top - while she struck a pose and lit cans of hairspray on fire while a disco ball lowered from the ceiling behind her.
At age 4 Gaga learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mike nights at clubs At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. She was signed by her 20th birthday and was writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls). If that isn't the fastest most deserving rise to fame ever, I don't know what is. This time line really blows my mind and only waters the seed of love I have for Lady Gaga.

(this is Lady Gaga before she was famous and blonde)Lady Gaga's biggest hits include Pokerface, Just Dance, Love Games, Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Telephone and Alejandro. My personal favorites include Fancy Pants, Paper Gangster, Monster, Teeth, Speechless, Money Honey, Beautiful Dirty Rich, and Boys Boys Boys.
I like Lady Gaga's song Fancy Pants the most because of how silly it is. The song starts off by saying "This beat is so funny we made it with their money. Haha, hahahahaha, hahahaha" and in the background she's saying "fancy, fancy, youre so fancy." In my opinion this song is about poking fun at people with money who take themselves too seriously, and telling them to loosen up and "take off their fancy pants" . At one point, she says "Oh baby, don't be shy Fashion's got a lazy eye..." meaning that not everything about fashion is perfect. Gaga says this even though a huge part of her career is her sense of fashion. This leads me to believe that she really is out there for the truth and being honest and not just to be famous like most other singers.
Lady Gaga's lyrics is really what gets me about her. Because she tells her fans so much about her, we get to really know her and through her lyrics we can tell that she wrote them all because they are so quirky and original.
Whimsy : An odd or fanciful idea; the trait of acting unpredictably. Playfully odd behavior; An impulsive, illogical or capricious character.
All of the above describes Lady Gaga's style. She shows her style through her music, music videos and the clothes that she wears on a daily basis. This plays a very big part in why I like her so much because her style is something I really enjoy seeing in all forms of media and I know that she has a reputation to keep but with every new image of herself that she puts out there, she is laying herself on the line in front of us not knowing how we are going to react and yet she can pull it off, flawlessly.
Lady Gaga has said in past interviews that she knows how it is to feel unaccepted and weird and that her goal is to reach out to those who feel the same way and that she just wants those people to have someone they can relate to. I feel like she has already accomplished her goal and I am proof of that.
In Gaga's video for Paparazzi she is shown wearing a yellow unitard with black Mickey Mouse-like heads all over it and big, black round sunglasses that mimic the ears on her suit. This is an outfit that shows how creative and memorable Lady Gaga 's fashion can be however this is one of the more simple outfits of hers.

At the 2009 MTV music awards Gaga wore a red lace dress that covered her face a tall red crown on the top of her head. Lets just say she stood out.
In her Telephone music video Lady Gaga wore sunglasses with lit cigaretts imbedded in them. I have never seen anything like this before and it just blew my mind that nobody had come up with that yet.
Need to agree with you!
