It is many years since the world has seen a performer so
startlingly creative, so adept at shock tactics and accomplished in the
art of controversy as Lady Gaga.
Since she catapulted to fame with her single Just Dance in 2008, the theatrical
singer has sold-out show tickets in minutes and rarely been out of the
newspapers. And unlike many of her contemporaries, her excessive press coverage is
not related to having a disastrous private life, drug addiction or series of
relationships, but for her showmanship and eccentricity.
We have seen the singer giving away a lock of her hair with the deluxe limited
edition of her album The Fame Monster. She has enacted a suicide on stage, performed
in a giant bathroom on the X Factor and sung to the Queen of England in an
Elizabethan ruff and 20 foot long rubber cape.
Real name Stefani Germanotta, Gaga has rolled about in a ‘Chanel wheelchair’, posed
naked with Kanye West in pictures by David Lachapelle and bought 80 pizzas for
waiting fans queuing at her album signing in Los Angeles. She seemed to revel in
speculation that she is a hermaphrodite and broke chart records in America by
becoming the first artist in the 17-year history of the Billboard Pop Songs
countdown to score four number ones from the same debut album. Paparazzi, Just
Dance, Poker Face and LoveGame all hit the top spot in record sales.
As if that was not enough to cram into a few short years, the American singer has
collaborated with superstar Beyonce Knowles in her remix of Video Phone, appeared
onstage with the Bolshoi Ballet dancers and worn outlandish creations including‘firework boobs’, gyroscope headgear and a jeweled neck brace and studded crutches.
