How Lady Gaga changed music forever

  • When a then unknown singer by the name of Lady Gaga released her first album ‘the Fame’ in late 2008, who could’ve foreseen the indelible mark the young musician would leave on pop culture in the years to come (well maybe herself, she did say she wanted to be the future of music for the next 25 years, after all)!!!!
    Her arrival in the music industry was akin to a pop meteor hitting earth, that would transform the music landscape as we know it.
    So just how did she make it happen? Who were the key people in her camp? Why wasn’t Akon’s rap used for 'Just Dance?' Which Swedish singer did RedOne model Gaga’s sound on? How did she meet RedOne in the first place? Who was instrumental in making her a priority artist? Why did Interscope think Gaga might be better kept behind-the-scenes instead of being out front as a music artist? Who were the key people on Gaga’s creative team?
    How did the Pussycat Dolls and New Kids on the Block really feel about Gaga supporting them on tour? And what’s the truth about how Interscope broke Gaga in the music industry? This mini-documentary explores these questions and more.

      @@vangelissopamenaI don’t know about that - saying that Taylor is a bigger star. More active, maybe. But also they are focusing on totally different industries now.
      Taylor is really pushing herself to the max right now with her music, doing as much and releasing as much music as she can (I would say the amount is overwhelming, but hey, good for her). She’s doing in terms of amount of work what Gaga used to do years ago.
      Now Gaga has seemingly started to take things slower. Focusing on fewer, but larger projects, and focusing primarily on work outside of music, acting, make up brand, philanthropy and whatnot.

    “the first real superstar of the digital age” - that line alone is just perfection. I remember first time i’d heard “just dance” in ‘08 & fell in love with it… i’ve always been a fan of pop music but that track just felt different. It was harder, more complex. planet pop was never the same again

      From the moment I looked up the artist that Christina Aguilera was copying the VMA style from I fell in love with her. If Britney, Christina, and Shakira had a child Gaga would be her name 😂. She had the best out of these girls from Britney she had the Pop Icon/ clear vocals (while Shakira and Christina have good vocals they lack clarity when they sing and they can sound too harsh), from Christina she had the power of the vocals and girls just wanna have fun attitude, and from Shakira she had the smarts, the powerful dancepop sound (though Gaga made it more electronic) and the personal songwriting skills. The best of these artists combined in one

      Gaga is the last superstar. The reason Lady Gaga, the Beatles, and Elvis Presley, Genghis Khan, Cleopatra, etc. exist is because of what civilization was before the dawn of the Internet and the new millennium. Everything after is the void. For culture to reach a place again where an artist like Gaga can exist on the cutting edge of human capacity, the Internet will have to no longer exist. Not only will the Internet have to cease to exist, but humans will have had forgotten about it and lived without the Internet for several thousand years. Après Gaga, the void.

    Lady Gaga was very popular in Russia during this period. Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, Paparazzi big hits. Then Bad Romance and Alejandro came out and they also became massive hits there. She is one of the most streamed and rotated foreign singers in Russia for past 15 years (and over the past 1 year, the most streamed and viewed foreign singer in Russia, due to old hits and Bloody Mary).

    Following Gaga's career from the end of the high school and all through university was the most exciting time of my life. I don't care if people say don't let your life revolve around a celebrity cause it's not healthy or something -- I let my life revolve around her during that time and I don't regret a single moment. I will never forget how I felt when I first saw her for $20, and then saw her bloody Paparazzi performance in person athe VMAs, or how much fun I had camping out the night before for her GMA show with friends, or how I felt when I first heard Born This Way premiere on the radio and it felt like I tapped into some alien recording via satellite it was THAT huge of a moment for me, or how she made me feel when we finally met and she touched my hair and gave me hugs. i'll also never forget when people around me started to turn their back on her after that and during ARTPOP, I was enthusiastically showing people the songs/videos and they weren't "getting" it. I felt so confused.
    Seeing all the clips of her throughout this video was so nostalgic and got me feeling so happy to have experienced all that -- thank you for the trip down memory lane. Maybe it wasn't *that* long ago....but it was such a magical & exciting time.

She's contributed so much great music and art to the world. She's has an incredible worth ethic and value system and inspirational to so many people. It annoys me when ppl use the 'celebrity' card.

    I’ll never forget hearing “Poker Face” for the first time in the way home from my brother’s baseball practice, becoming immediately obsessed with the sound and icy voice of the artist. It wasn’t long before I was on UA-cam, scouring the site for any and all information I could on this “Lady GaGa”. It would be one of the first songs I would ever purchase myself, and it seemed like almost immediately, I’d found my “mother monster”.
    GaGa has changed my life in as many ways as she has saved it. Her music, her style, her personality, her voice, her messages of healing through music, celebration of fame, success, but above all love and passion through creative expression.

    To be frank it also took Just Dance 5 months to reach number 1 because she was faced with competition from established pop artists all summer long. During that time the following hits were released Disturbia (Rihanna), I Kissed a Girl (Katy Perry), Womanizer (Britney Spears), and Keeps Getting Better (Christina Aguilera). I’m actually surprised she got to be number one given she was Lady Who at that time. But even these artists couldn’t keep Gaga from becoming the new Queen of Pop

    Gaga was a cultural reset. She emerged at a time when there was no space for weirdness in pop music, the biggest pop stars just had to be pretty. Katy Perry was a bit weird, but in a cute way. Gaga was weird weird, so unapologetically herself! That inspired me so much as a teen who felt different than most people around me, it was cool to be weird and, well, that feeling made me act in ways that make me cringe now when I remember, but it's a part of life, right?
    She really created magic with RedOne, but aside from making me dance to her sound, she got me into bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure. What other contemporary pop singer ever referenced so many outstanding artists like Bowie, Hitchcock, Kubrick, to name a few? She was the real deal. Great video!

    I remember being sick at home on April Fools Day in 2009. Was absolutely miserable at home all day, but had the glimmer of hope for that night's American Idol. It was progressing well, and after a commercial break a newer artist was introduced and changed my life.
    On that stage was GaGa playing Poker Face on piano, and just completely drawing all of my attention. She then stopped, the camera zoomed out, and the regular instrumental starts up. In the time from piano to main stage, she had changed outfits and never missed a beat during that performance .
    I don't remember anything else from that day, but I remember how I felt in that moment. The awe, the spark of creativity, and the vow to be like her. I felt like she gave me permission to be subversive, to make noise, to like boys, and so much more.
    Every year I celebrate my anniversary of being a Little Monster, and learn to appreciate this beautiful soul.

Worked with American painters & artists regularly (Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Mark Ryden and Keith Haring painted or sculpted him during his lifetime), has an invention patent, created the first high production music videos, pioneered the visual album and also had a successful Sega video game in the late 80s. He was also a major inspiration to Gaga, not just Andy Warhol. She's spoken extensively about how MJ has influenced her approach to pop and pop art.

    I'm 40 years old so I completely missed her. I barely know maybe one of her songs, probably the most known one. But I see she was pretty famous among kids from that generation. And I can see why she was so appealing to them, she mixed a lot of elements from classic and iconic artists like Madonna and David Bowie. That always works. And she had a good voice too and she was fun. The whole package. No wonder she was famous.

    I first remember hearing Gaga on the radio throughout 2009 when I was in between graduating 5th grade and starting middle school but I first saw her physically when watching the 2009 MTV VMAs and her performance of paparazzi I was so shocked and amazed by the theatrics, the powerful vocals, her stage presence, the emphasis on fashion and fame etc and that ending … like crazy. And I’ll never forget since 90% of the people who went to middle school also went to elementary school with me and my twin sister so the next day in fact the whole month of September everyone talking about her VMAs performance. I spent my entire childhood and eventually first years of young adulthood watching her from the massive fame monster and born this way eras to her 2011 VMA performance of you and I to the release and hype of the telephone video to her musical transformation with cheek to cheek and Joanne to her development as a Hollywood movie star starting with a star is born, It’s amazing to watch her evolution throughout the years since
    although I have had critique on Gaga at her prime mainly feeling like her persona and showmanship didn’t match her music I can’t deny her impact and influence in contemporary pop music she’s one of the best pop stars today and one of the most multi talented performers of all time

    2011 was definitely Gaga's year. She was literally everywhere, the anticipation for her music videos was off the hook, every one of her performance was a talking point the next day at work. I don't think I had seen anything like since Michael Jackson.
    I remember seeing her live in London in 2010 for a mere €30. I had bought the ticket just because I enjoyed Bad Romance and thought it would be a fun night. I was shocked at how elaborate the show was and how talented she was for her first concert tour. That's when I became a "fan".
    Ever since, she's just got better and better and if she continues I'm sure she'll become a legend.

    She really was one of the final massive monoculture moments. 2009-2011 was pretty much the end of that time when stars could get that ubiquitous and big. Her Taylor and Beyonce still being around now also shows that some of these megastars got very lucky debuting in that pre-social media/streaming age and carrying over into the present. Newer artists feel so niche and small now.

Then I looked back into it all when I was 13-14 and I fell even more in love! There’s no other artist I connected with as much as I have with Gaga, with how artistic and haute couture she is (or was considering she seems to have retired that aspect of her?), even though I’ve come to love Madonna and Taylor, Ive had an emotional connection with gaga because of just how long I’ve been a fan and growing up with her.
