The story of Gaga begins with a young, complicated girl from the Upper East Side who, obsessed with David Bowie and passionate about music starts playing gigs at fourteen in small, kitschy nightclubs…. who, following a spat of dropping out of college, dabbles in cocaine and performs in drag clubs, and finally rises to stardom as ‘The Fame Monster.’
Lady Gaga was interviewed last night with the conversation guru that is Jonathan Ross. Sporting a glamorous black suit (lets face it, she manages to look good in anything) and a quintessential telephone top hat, designed by Philip Treacey, Gaga was notably more relaxed and at ease with herself, bantering with Ross on fashion, romance and the fact that Gaga doesn’t ‘really have any friends in the music industry.’
Ah well Gaga, you always have us; the millions of fans worldwide who love and adore you for your glorious vocal chords as well as your exuberant outfits. During the interview Gaga revealed her album has gone Diamond, with 10 million copies sold worldwide, commenting on the achievement by saying ‘I feel so blessed.’
Ross, being the ever-probing English gentlemen, went on to quiz Gaga on whether there was a ‘Lord Gaga’ on the horizon, to which the super studded star laughed and replied ‘I’m single and alone, but I’m not miserable, not yet. Nobody will put up with my craziness.
Crazy is good non? It’s better to be crazy than be boring in my opinion, and Gaga herself offers some heartfelt philosophies on her talents and how they affect her fans, quoting ‘if the show is successful they don’t leave connected to me, they leave connected to each other.’ Beyond her mask of glitz and glamour, Gaga is a true connoisseur of un-repressed individuality, she’s made it okay to be different. Her style reflects a combination of expressions and opinions on celebrity culture and our obsession with fame, and in this aspect, Gaga is fiercely loyal, commenting on her wardrobe regime when she said ‘I don’t wear slobby clothes; I would rather die then have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels.’
What a true Lady.
After the interview Gaga performed live for the first time on television her new collaboration duet with Beyonce called ‘Telephone,’ during which she emerged from a classic red telephone box and subsequently gyrated with her back up dancers on the stage.
Ah Gaga, you’ve got us all hooked on you. Even the Queen took a shine to the Pop star at the Royal Variety Show. Gaga leant down and bowed on meeting our monarch, to which old Queenie replied ‘that is a very big piano that you have.’
Ah Bless.
