1. LADY GAGALADY GAGA

2. Lady Gaga was raised in Manhattan on the Upper West Side. She did not have a wealthy family at all and had to work for every single thing she did. She didn’t fit in very well either, she believed that everyone thought that she was a “freak”. As a child, she went to a private girl’s school and she was very academic. She starred in many of her school plays and also found time to have good grades, but singing was always number one. This is only about half of her story and it already inspires people. Gaga came from nothing and is probably one of the most moving people of the world.

3. In the beginning Lady Gaga was just like any other person in the world, except there was one difference. She had an insane passion for music. She learnt how to play the piano at the age of four and began playing open mic nights at the age of fourteen. When she turned seventeen, Gaga was on of the twenty people who gained early admission to New York University's Tish School of the Arts.

4. Many people see Lady Gaga (other wise known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) as a crazy, outrageously dressed, trendsetting woman, and that’s exactly what she is. At the age of 25, Gaga’s taking the world by storm. Even though she may seem like she’s crazy, she’s helping many foundations. Some of them are The National Alliance to End Homelessness, Green Chimneys, Oxfam, Stand Up to Cancer, Lupus Foundation of America, Alzheimer’s Association and MAC AIDS Fund. This picture is taken when Lady Gaga attends the Children In Need Event in Manchester.

5. Gaga has inspired a whole new generation to believe that they’re beautiful just the way they are. She’s let them know that it’s okay if you’re a little different than others. It makes you unique. She’s crazy and she still manages to be one of the most successful celebrities since Michael Jackson. She has so many fans that adore her for being who she is. Her little monsters are extremely important to her because they’re her fans. She values what she has, she leads everyone in the right direction, and she doesn’t know who she is yet, but she is getting there.

6. In 2010 she was nominated for six Grammy Awards and received two. Both of her most famous singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” were claimed to be the biggest critical hits from her album “Paparazzi”. Also in 2010 she was nominated for thirteen MTV Video Music Awards and received eight awards. She has also received awards for her charity work as well. I could list all of her awards, but the list would go on and on.

7. Lady Gaga is known as trendsetter because she’s always a couple steps ahead of everyone else. All of the other celebrities are your typical pretty faces. Gaga’s beautiful as well, but she’s beautiful in the weirdest way. From her exotic costumes to her outrageous behavior, there’s no wonder she has so many devoted fans. She is considered to be the “princess of pop” and since the “king of pop” (Michael Jackson) passed away, she’s next in line. Bad tabloids, good tabloids, it honestly doesn’t matter. These things are the things that are keeping her on top.

9. Many people have influenced Lady Gaga to become what she is today. Some of them are Michael Jackson, Elton John, David Bowie, Queen, and Madonna. They helped her with what she wanted to be and how she could get there; by standing out. No one in the industry is even comparable to how incredibly famous Lady Gaga, except for the deceased. She wants to be like her idols and she is even better than some of her idols were. She’s influencing people just like they did, but she’s making sure that she does it right. She isn’t a cookie cutter celebrity; she’s her own person.

10. All in all, Lady Gaga is probably the most influential woman out there right now. She sets trends, doesn’t follow them. It’s a good thing. She helps charities and tells people to persevere. She also tells us not to be ashamed of ourselves no matter how different we are. She’s a genuine person and definitely not fake. Gaga shows a lot of leadership and it’s evident in her fans.
