When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she recorded with her own versions K7 drive tubes of Michael Jackson and Cindy Lauper in the air and flew into the arms of his father in the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The child precode danced around the tables of restaurants trendy Upper West Side, using sticks as bread sticks cheerleader. And she will only hear a new baby-sitter with his best birthday suit.
No wonder then, that this little girl from an Italian family based in New York has become the singer – songwriter extravagant multi-talented and tastefully particles in the theater it is today: Lady Gaga.
“I have always been at the center of attention. I was already a little troublemaker, I still am today, “describes herself Lady Gaga, 22, who made his name in the clubs of Lower East Side with the infectious dance-pop tube” Beautiful, Dirty Rich “and performance” shock art “insane, theatrical and during which no taboos, Lady Gaga – also creates a Grandris part of his stage wardrobe – just finished his striptease with panties designed by him and bikini top, the cheveulure incandescent, putting on a disco ball hanging from the ceiling with the soundtrack of A Clockwork Orange in the background.

When I discovered Queen and David Bowie, it was a real snap and I knew I could do all three at once, “said Lady Gaga named after the famous” Radio Gaga “by Queen and quotes Peggy Bundy her friends and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. “I see these artisits as icons artisitques. It is not that music. It’s a performance, an attitude, a look, it’s a whole. And that’s what I live as an artist and what I want to do. ”
A goal that may seem a little distant, but not for Lady Gaga to 4 years who could already play the piano after listening only once a melody. That at 13, had already written and composed her first piano ballad. That at 14, played live in clubs in New York as the Bitter End by night and was envied by all the days of her friends Convent of The Sacred Heart School (which notably seen passing on its benches Nicky and Paris Hilton ) for his eccentric and inimitable style.

On The Fame, Lady Gaga is two doses of dance-pop, a dose of electro-pop and a dose of rock, all mixed in a shaker-disco burlesque and generously served in a martini glass, with the sole purpose of make everybody drunk with happiness and glory. “The Fame (fame) talks about how anyone can feel famous,” she says. “Pop culture is an art form. It does not make you coul to hate pop, so I soaked the cutlure and you endrez all over The Fame. But it’s a celebrity splits. I want to invite you all to the party. I want the sgen feel comfortable in this lifestyle. ”

I wanted to write a pop song that would appeal to rockers. ”
“Beautiful, Dirty, Rich” sums up the time of his discovery, when she lived on the Lower East Side by linking drugs and parties. “This day and this song was when I tried to understand what was happening,” says Lady Gaga. “Once I took over the command of my artistic life, I fell more in love that all these parties.” On first listen, “Paparazzi” might sound like a love song for the cameras, but in all honesty, Lady Gaga says that “at some level, this is anything other than the paparazzi and find conspier absolute glory. Do not take it seriously. The title refers to the obsession that everyone ends up getting about this. But it is mainly a question of wanting to be loved by a man and whether we can have success or love or both. ”
Lady Gaga shows her passion for love songs on the slower tracks influenced by Queen as “Brown Eyes” and the bittersweet failure of “Nothing Else I Can Say (eh eh).” “” Brown Eyes “is the title of the most sensitive of the album,” says she. “” Eh eh “is a simple title that speaks of meeting someone else and to separate from her ex-boyfriend.”

It is more fitting, but my favorite elements of old shows – the disco balls, small outfits and glitter – will still be in the program. There will be more energy and it will be a more visual concept of what may be a pop performance. ”

Lady Gaga is a pop star that does not come from a casting or custom, or a wealthy family or a series of reality TV or any sitcom. “I did as I had to do it. I played every club in New York and every time I have all returned. I look at myself as an artist today. I matched to survive as an artist, to intrude, to apparendre from my mistakes and learn the singer and showgirl who have always been in me. And I worked hard for it. ” Lady Gaga adds with a wink, “And now I’m just trying to change the world of glitter suddenly.”
