Lady GaGa and her Style influences

Ok so first it was Christina Aguilera and now it’s Paris Hilton? When will this doppelganger game ever end? Since the word spread of this certain Lady GaGa, tabloids were quick to compare Miss GaGa with Miss Aguilera in terms of their fashion sense- the make up, the lipstick, the blond platinum hair and the clothes. Personally, I feel Aguilera has more or a acceptable, 50s look to her clothes whereas GaGa is more techno and new age. But why on earth would anyone want to compare her with Paris Hilton- the party princess with the girly clothes and sugar and spice all over?

Most Lady GaGa fans would now that the popster studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart School in New York but did you know that the Hilton sisters went there too? The 22 year old Lady GaGa admits that the sisters made a huge impact on her appearance. According to GaGa, she was attracted to their cleanliness- their clean and pretty disposure and still continue to influence her dressing till today.

Whether rain or shine, Lady GaGa is known for her No-Pants showdown at glitzy, glamorous and elegant events in the U.S. Recently, GaGa, who’s real name is Stefani has been spotted painting the freezing London town red in skimpy hot pants and corsets while promoting her chart busting single ‘Just Dance’.

Of Italian lineage, GaGa is the daughter of internet entrepreneur dad and business partner mom. At 17, GaGa left school to work as a burlesque dancer in an underground club scene before gaining entry into the Tisch School of Arts. Before you know, this talented performer scored big by becoming a song writer for big names like Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls. Two years later and the world has Lady GaGa streaming out of their iPods.

Among friends and her social circle and anyone else who come into contact with her, GaGa is known as a chatterbox a show-off who comes out with the most extraordinary phrases and quirky actions. Writing and performing her own songs, Lady GaGa is set to become the best Madonna and the world better be ready for her. GaGa, knowing that she was affiliated with Madonna, quoted as saying that the both of them have many things in common such as their American-Italian lineage, the fact that both started out in New York and in the underground scene and the became famous after going blonde.

Lady Gaga and her Fashion Sense

Breaking into the music scene in full force, Lady GaGa is now no more a virtually unheard of name. The track ‘Lets Dance’ is played on practically every club in town and clubbers go crazy as the song hits the speakers prompting everyone to get down to the dance floor shake their bodies to the rhythm. And why wouldn’t people like her? Her songs are eclectic and different compared to the same songs that you hear on the radio. Yeah their good, but it don’t stand out that much, or at least be in a class of their own. But of course, this is just my humble opinion.

With the fresh and vibrant sound, comes a unique fashion statement from this lady. Some call it outrageous, some call it crazy, some call if fun and some call it quirky. Whatever it is, Lady GaGa has something to call her own. Not wanting to be labeled as fashion forward with the same styles and sense like other Hollywood A-listers and Grammy crooners, Lady GaGa steps out into the red carpet with her sense of fashion that she calls art.

Change is often too hard to take especially in the fashion world. If you are not wearing something IT, then you are out. To Lady GaGa, she doesn’t want to attract attention though her sexy clothes, like other starlets do. She wants her fashion to make men think and not drool like the do when watching the Pussycat Dolls.

To Lady GaGa, being sexy isn’t something stated in the books. It’s your own personal style, so love her or hate her- she’s got her own thing going on and not many people can carry the look that she has. Unlike many other artists who get their stylist to do the dressing up and coming up with a certain theme, GaGa has a different approach. Even while writing her music, GaGa already pictures what she wants to wear on stage. To her, it’s the whole package of being an entertainer- the performance, the art, the effort, the song and or course, the fashion. It’s Lady GaGa telling a story to her fans and communicating with them.

Seeking inspiration from Versae, Lady GaGa considers Donatella Versace as her style icon saying that the fashion label’s designer is provocative, iconic and oh so powerful. Now isn’t it about time that we got a fresh dose of music to our years. Whatever people may say, Lady GaGa has my vote!

Lady Gaga-The Lady of the Year

Each year brings about new results and happenings. Lady Gaga, a singer and songwriter, turned out to have a very lucrative 2008. She received a good number of nominations and awards apart from having one great album “The Fame” under her belt. She is said to be working on another album with Michael Bolton and Neyo.

Lady GaGa shows her versatility at being able to belt out different kinds of songs. She does not only stick to the usual song from the pop genre. But she also comes up with her own Christmas songs. In fact she produced a great holiday song entitled “Christmas Tree”.

This singer is just made of sheer brilliance. She can put together a great quirky outfit and yet belt out a song with mellow and even tones. But her brilliance is not the only thing that makes her successful. She is extremely hard working. She puts in a lot of time to finish one song. It is not enough that she comes up with a song. She needs to feel the song. When it comes to her productions, a lot of effort can be seen in the costumes and choreography.

Because of the dedication she puts in all that she does, everything she produces is excellent. She can learn to play the piano by ear. She can compose her own lyrics. She can perform in clubs with great ease. And she can even write songs for other artists and make it a hit. She is so at ease with her talent and ability that she can perform just about anywhere she is.

Last year, Lady GaGa signed in with Akon’s Kon Live. Her first single entitled “Just Dance” first played the airwaves last May and sat at the top 3rd spot. “The Fame”, her debut album came out last October and was well accepted by the music industry. Her album which has songs from the electronic, pop, rock and hip hop genres make people sit up and listen to her music.

Many people comment on her clothes and fashion style as it is rather different. But she just takes their comments into stride. She just feels like wearing anything that is trendy and continues experimenting on different outfits. Her zest for life is seen in her innovative ways. And this will definitely make her a success.

Lady Gaga and Her Fashion

If a fashion icon like Christina Aguilera remodels herself on you and looks strikingly closer to your total appearance, you can understand that you have arrived on the fashion scene and that too in no small a way.

Lady gaga looks to subtly morph her style associations into a unique gender-bending fashion statement. It is futuristic, very non-traditional. You can see a scantily clad lady gaga in the raunchy videos of just dance and there itself it will strike you that this girl is a little different with her fashion meter. Her fashion was manifest even in the early days when she simply put hairspray cans on fire on stage and came out dancing in her bikini and hot pants.

Lady gaga has perfectly exemplified what loads of self-confident fashion can do. Yes, it can make the purists come sniffing for you but at the same time it is enough to let you make your own style statement. Lady gaga fashion is all about understanding the need of human self-expression. This is something she enjoys in her art, in her life and in her fashion.

She confesses Peggy Bundy and Donatella Versace to be her icons. She feels that music as an art form can always be combined with fashion, attitude and abstract expression. This is where lady gaga fashion becomes universal while being perfectly individual.

Lady gaga has herself designed most of her stage outfits. Her dressing and her make-up is loud yet delicately subtle in parts. Imaging the huge shoulder pads, platinum blond make-up and well sketched out eyelashes.

Lady gaga is reminiscent of Gwen Stefani in the way that she has created her own unique style. There is no hint of moderation yet every thing seems like falling in place for lady gaga fashion. Her fab ensembles are being touted very highly and arguably her onstage clothing is simply the best.

Lady gaga recently revealed her fashion intentions claiming that fashion was everything for her. Even when she wrote a song, she conceptualized a vision associated with the song. This vision was of clothes she was going to wear so in a way, for her, performance art and pop art matched strides with on-stage fashion.

Lady gaga was a brunette till she found that being blonde in the white Andy Warhol mold was something that came more naturally to her.

Lady gaga's fashion may turn a different feather in some time. The girl is way too dynamic to stick to a single statement.

Lady Gaga-Fame or Lame?

If you are already a Diva at working the clubs hard with brilliant music vibes and a maestro in theatrical performances, what more could you possibly crave for? For Joanne Stefani Germanotta a.k.a Lady GaGa, it seems obvious that it is fame. Lady GaGa obviously possesses innate musical talent –having written up a storm of potential fiery hits for her debut album, which includes her hit single “Just Dance”. Perhaps the Italian-American artist had enough of living in the shadows of big artistes such as New Kids on The Block and Pussycat Dolls, penning down tunes for these bright stars and was realize its about time for something bigger.

Yet the young woman who titled her self album “The Fame” is not in the business for art’s sake. She wants to be fabulous and famous no doubt and is well on her way to achieving that goal. “That is the Fame” she says to a paparazzi pack that trailed her during one of her tours. “It is about art and fashion and the rumors about who I am and who Lady GaGa is”. And she makes no apologies for playing the fame game (connected to Jimmy Lovine from Interscope and the multi-talented Akon) which will certainly give her a stairway to fame haven. “I know when I signed the label my job is to write a pop song and play the game” she says. Hmm…sounds familiar doesn’t it? Brings back memories of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears in waist-bearing but innocent t-shirts singing innocent pop songs demanded by their record labels. And what happened when they hit the fame-pot? Gone was the sweet innocence of pop teen princesses and in their places, Goth-like, black hair with ‘Dirty’ attitudes.

How long until GaGa’s platinum blond look is taken over by a black wave? Hopefully she stays with her originality and her own unique sound. Today’s music world is no joke and definitely not a static one. It is forever changing and the face of music is also forever changing. One thing’s for sure that is, there are many marriages between music genres and Lady GaGa seems to sense this vibe as her music is rich which a variety of genre –electro-pop, rock to name some. On the effort of this album -which has been released in the U.S. since October 19, she embraced pop culture and invited her fans to an electro-techno rollercoaster ride of music.

“The Fame' is about how anyone can feel famous," GaGa spoke about her debut record. Pop culture is art and it doesn't make one cool to hate pop culture, so what she has done is actually embrace it and cross it with other sound styles. Fame or lame, this one is smart and definitely to stay.
