Seriously, that's entirely unimportant information and looks very amateurish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.252.228 ( talk) 07:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Saying she was "very active in theatrical productions" at her high school is sufficient - what roles and in what plays is entirely unimportant. Surely you see that. And how can we cite that information? It was obviously added by herself or a peer, as I doubt a publication reviewed the performance, much less mentioned her roles especially. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.252.228 ( talk) 04:19, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
In the CD liner notes to Lady GaGa's The Fame, it clearly states that her real name is Stefani Joanne Germonatta. Joanne is her middle name NOT her first name. I think she would know.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.66.29.177 ( talk) 17:48, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Disagreed.I have her CD, it distinctively and clearly states in the inside book her real name is Joanne Stefani Germonatta.In the article it needs to be changed. ((Dance-pop)) Dance-pop ( talk) 04:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
I think a more credible source is needed to verify her birth name.For example, herself verifying or stating her name and\or her CD liner notes since it is mass produced (I doubt she would put her own name wrong!). I have a source that might be more credible then the third parties.
What is a reputable source? And why is it not a reputable source? Dance-pop ( talk) 00:17, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I have found another source that is reputable. A video from CNN that states her name as Joanna Stefani Germanotta. Source- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDbu3C4Ox4 60.234.151.56 ( talk) 00:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I've changed the name using the BBC link. It's literally the most reliable news source in the English Language. Not much will top it. — Realist 2 01:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Her name is Stefani Joanne Germanotta (not Joanne Stefani Germanotta as is often wrongly reported). The BBC link above has it correct but it keeps being amended on here to the incorrect one. I've tried to amend it but i don't have the correct privages. Please can some one amend it? Thanks! ( Perky2007 ( talk) 10:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC))
I have found a source n which she actually states it as just " Stefani Germonatta, she could be lieing just to get the papas away from asking what her real name is, she has in the past resisted not to stay what her name is. We could have a section about her real name? just a thouhgt.Source- http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/300123/lady-gaga-i-don-t-have-time-for-dating/1/ I think its reliable it is a mag.

It says on her official Twitter page that Lady GaGa posted "right..gaga turned 22..." [1] on 28th March, 2008. Why would she post that then if her birthday was the 20th? Keithf2008 ( talk) 19:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Well it has surfaced that GaGa's real birthday is actually MARCH 28TH rather than March 20th. She clearly states this in this recent video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZDxGXDsUps&eurl=http://famemb.com/showthread.php?t=486&feature=player_embedded

Should her biography address her as an 'urban dance musician'? It seems to imply that the musical genre she's involved in is hip-hop, when her music could be more accurately described as 'dance pop' or 'electronic', given the production of her tracks, their content, and the markets her music has been aimed at (Mainstream Pop Stations in Canada and Europe, Larger Dance Stations in the United States, and clubs in the United States). I'm really just nitpicking and wondering if its appropriate -and justifiable- to change it. Ivan ballet izzle ( talk) 21:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes, I've seen Lady GaGa referred to as "Lady GaGa", and other times as "Lady Gaga". Which of these is the correct one? Acalamari 17:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

She took her name from the Queen song Radio GaGa which speels it with both G's capitalised, so wouldn't that be how her name is spelt? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xanthic-Ztk ( talk • contribs) 03:38, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Xanthic your wrong. Queen never did a song called 'Radio GaGa'. Queen did a song called 'Radio Ga Ga'. Seeing as the two Ga's are seperate words thats why they both have a capital G. Seeing as she or her label can't make up how to officially spell her name, especially if its a homage to the Queen song, why don't we call her Lady Ga Ga. Mabuska ( talk) 13:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Just checked the CD. Sorry, I was sure it was spelt GaGa. I can agree with that, but people are going to complain about it being spelt that way. Though, we will have people complaining no matter how it is spelt. In addition to the name thing, do we really have to call her 'GaGa' when talking about her in the article? It looks really stupid and it isn't her surname or anything. Xanthic-Ztk ( talk) 12:37, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Her website says LadyGaGa.com, so it's GaGa, not Gaga Keithf2008 ( talk) 19:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
The quote from HX reads:
- Do you consider yourself bisexual?
Sure. I mean, I don’t really consider sexual orientation in general. It’s like, people are born the way they are.
That doesn't seem like "coming out" to me. It sounds like she's trying to say something that will appeal to her LGBT fans. Unless someone objects, I think we should take that out and remove her from the LGBT cats. -- SatyrTN ( talk / contribs) 03:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I think she's bisexual, if you look up Bisexual Celebrites on Wikipedia it says her name on the list, but nowhere in the article is it mentioned?
She is bisexual, HX magazine quoted her saying: “I’m girl-crazy too. It really depends on where I am. I love men, I love women and I love sex, but I’m actually pretty introverted right now because I’m so enveloped in my work, and it’s hard to let anybody near that. People fuck with your energy, and it’s very hard to find people that are supportive of your art and don’t want to take time away from it. A lot of times, boyfriends and girlfriends get jealous and want all your attention, and I really don’t have time for that.”
A personal life section should be created, which should include a quote from her, stating she is bisexual. F W Nietzsche ( talk) 14:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Um...I think we need actually proof that she said this or had an interview with "Hx mag." 60.234.151.56 ( talk) 04:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
There is proof; that quote is the proof; if you google it, you can see it's real. When I wrote on Lady Gaga's wikipedia page a few days ago that she is bisexual, I cited the website that had the above quote. She said it, it's in a magazine, it's on the web, it's citable, I don't understand why it was taken down, I'm putting it back up.
Here is the website: http://www.towleroad.com/2008/08/lady-gaga-talks.html
And also, in reference to the debate above, if someone asks someone "Are you bisexual," and they respond "sure," yes it's an affirmation. I do not understand how there is any debate about that. I really don't think that this discussion would be happening if this was about any other topic; if she had said "sure" in response to any other question, there would be no debate and it would be put on her wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scharles ( talk • contribs) 13:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Role in Damn Yankees at Regis High School
Contrary to what the article states, she did NOT play Lola in Damn Yankees at Regis High School in NYC in 2003. The role was played by a very talented woman named Mary Katherine DeChiara. I just thought that credit should be where credit is due.
I think that it is worthy of being put on here. So, Christina thinks Gaga was a man. Christina says she didn't steel Gaga's look. Gaga stated on E! that her look wasnt just her look, it was her life.
I think it should go on there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.104.104.165 ( talk) 06:36, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
It is trivial. It is tabloid nonsense that some tabloid reading people buy into. Wiki is not a tabloid. A musical act should be noted for music and not a style of clothes or hair. This is totally not needed and makes wiki look like a tabloid with gossip material making wiki not a reliable source of info. The links posted were tabloid links to some trash souse in England. That is news over there. Here in America we don't consider that news in the general media.
User: Alextwa Jan 09
OK Magazine is a tabloid and so is that other british source. It should be removed. Wiki should not be a celeb gossip site because some tabloid reader likes it. I think it should not be there

The Times is a very reputable UK newspaper. — Realist 2 03:55, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Its a trashy newspaper. We have high standards in the US unlike in England when it comes to newspapers. It does not match US Standards. It should not be posted. Something Perez Hilton starts is not valid. User" Alextwa
I'm not arguing with you, you've repeatedly made Anti-UK statements in the past, you were the editor that refused a unfavorable review of a Christina Aguilera album, because the source was British. If you remove the text again, I'll ensure you account is blocked. You have not provided a valid reason. — Realist 2 04:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
The Times is not a "trashy" newspaper, nor is it "tabloid" in the usual derogatory sense, having been published longer than most if not all US newspapers and not to be confusd with The National Enquirer/Weekly World News or other bastions of quality US journalism. However the alleged spat with Aguilera (true or not) is trivial and shouldn't be included..

Please do not continue to add false information as to which school she attended for college. She did NOT attend the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music. Stefani was in fact admitted to the Tisch-Drama department in 2004, left briefly in Fall 2005, returned to Tisch in Spring 2006, at which point she applied to transfer to another school within NYU, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, but never accepted her offer of admission.

The language that states she was trying to do something "fresh and different" by doing underground pop music is not only non-objective but also probably incorrect.

I think it is quite significant that it is mentioned that she attended NYU Tisch School of Arts. Her biography on her website clearly states: "At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU." As mentioned before, All Music Guide has stated that, and numerous articles have also. Due to the semi-protection, I cannot edit. If someone who does have access please add that it in.

The 2007 section contains info unrelated to that year, it needs to be moved elsewhere. The article should be as chronological as possibly.

I think this source, is enough to say she was signed at Streamline. But before we add it to the article infobox, can we please find some more information on it.

Even if it is a sub-division of another bigger cmopany it is still one of her records labels because she is signed to the label. So if cherrytree is a sub-division of interscope and she is signed to both of them then those two are her labels. 60.234.151.56 ( talk) 07:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

"Her entrepreneur father was shocked when saw his daugther ran off to the Lower East Side..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.24.33.125 ( talk) 02:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, so this info was already part of the article but some of it was supported by a video and was deleted. Here is my original revision:
"Throughout 2007, Lady Gaga collaborated with the similarly named Lower East Side Rock DJ, go-go dancer and performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped Gaga create her onstage fashions. [5] The pair began playing gigs at downtown club venues like Mercury Lounge, The Bitter End, and Rockwood Music Hall [6], with their live performance art piece, "Lady Gaga and The Starlight Revue" [7]. Billed as "The Ultimate Pop Burlesque RockShow" [8], it was a low-fi tribute to 1970's variety acts which featured Lady Gaga on synth, Lady Starlight spinning beats, choreographed go-go moves, shiny disco balls, and hairspray, lit on fire and sprayed into the audience. [9] In August 2007, Lady Gaga and The Starlight Revue were invited to play at American music festival Lollapalooza, where they shocked audiences with their wild performance. [10] Their show, however, may have been overshadowed by Gaga’s brush with the law—she received an indecent exposure citation from a bicycle cop for wearing "hot pants". [10] Despite this incident, the show was critically acclaimed and Gaga's perfomance received rave reviews. [11] [6]"
Some users feel that nothing but the Lollapalooza performance is notable. Personally I disagree since GaGa and Starlight performed together in "Lady GaGa and The Starlight Revue" for over a year at numerous venues in downtown NYC. The fact that several news publications are writing about their time spent performing together makes me think that ALL the info is notable. However, after a chat with Realist (who I always find to be of sound mind in this place) and taking his advice, I have trimmed my post to this:
"Throughout 2007, Lady Gaga collaborated with the similarly named Lower East Side Rock DJ, go-go dancer and performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped Gaga create her onstage fashions.

i think that is should be mentioned that lady gaga was the top facebook update in 2009 because facebook is a huge outlet for pop culture and it shows a major step in her career as the quote below mentions to compare her to madonna and honestly it is just an impressive feat to not be at all mentioned in November 2008 to now being the most talked about celebrity on facebook. i think even though it seems minor it is a big deal considering she even had her own personal category with is impressive.
"Facebook on Tuesday released a list of the words and themes that appeared most frequently in users' status updates in 2009. Not surprisingly, the list includes popular celebrities—both living and dead—healthcare concerns, and games.
Facebook divided its list into several categories, including Facebook Applications, Celebrity Deaths, Swine Flu, Movies, and Sports. It even created a separate category for pop star Lady Gaga, who is fast gaining Madonna-like popularity and appeal.
"She was virtually unmentioned until November of 2008 and spiked in mentions of her name in September 2009," wrote Facebook data scientist Lars Backstrom, in a blog post."

Saying she was "very active in theatrical productions" at her high school is sufficient - what roles and in what plays is entirely unimportant. Surely you see that.

Should her biography address her as an 'urban dance musician'? It seems to imply that the musical genre she's involved in is hip-hop, when her music could be more accurately described as 'dance pop' or 'electronic', given the production of her tracks, their content, and the markets her music has been aimed at (Mainstream Pop Stations in Canada and Europe, Larger Dance Stations in the United States, and clubs in the United States). I'm really just nitpicking and wondering if its appropriate -and justifiable- to change it. Ivan ballet izzle ( talk) 21:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

She took her name from the Queen song Radio GaGa which speels it with both G's capitalised, so wouldn't that be how her name is spelt? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xanthic-Ztk ( talk • contribs) 03:38, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Xanthic your wrong. Queen never did a song called 'Radio GaGa'. Queen did a song called 'Radio Ga Ga'. Seeing as the two Ga's are seperate words thats why they both have a capital G. Seeing as she or her label can't make up how to officially spell her name, especially if its a homage to the Queen song, why don't we call her Lady Ga Ga. Mabuska ( talk) 13:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Just checked the CD. Sorry, I was sure it was spelt GaGa. I can agree with that, but people are going to complain about it being spelt that way. Though, we will have people complaining no matter how it is spelt. In addition to the name thing, do we really have to call her 'GaGa' when talking about her in the article? It looks really stupid and it isn't her surname or anything. Xanthic-Ztk ( talk) 12:37, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

The quote from HX reads:
- Do you consider yourself bisexual?
Sure. I mean, I don’t really consider sexual orientation in general. It’s like, people are born the way they are.
That doesn't seem like "coming out" to me. It sounds like she's trying to say something that will appeal to her LGBT fans. Unless someone objects, I think we should take that out and remove her from the LGBT cats. -- SatyrTN ( talk / contribs) 03:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I think she's bisexual, if you look up Bisexual Celebrites on Wikipedia it says her name on the list, but nowhere in the article is it mentioned?
She is bisexual, HX magazine quoted her saying: “I’m girl-crazy too. It really depends on where I am. I love men, I love women and I love sex, but I’m actually pretty introverted right now because I’m so enveloped in my work, and it’s hard to let anybody near that. People fuck with your energy, and it’s very hard to find people that are supportive of your art and don’t want to take time away from it. A lot of times, boyfriends and girlfriends get jealous and want all your attention, and I really don’t have time for that.”
A personal life section should be created, which should include a quote from her, stating she is bisexual. F W Nietzsche ( talk) 14:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

There is proof; that quote is the proof; if you google it, you can see it's real. When I wrote on Lady Gaga's wikipedia page a few days ago that she is bisexual, I cited the website that had the above quote. She said it, it's in a magazine, it's on the web, it's citable, I don't understand why it was taken down, I'm putting it back up.
Here is the website: http://www.towleroad.com/2008/08/lady-gaga-talks.html
And also, in reference to the debate above, if someone asks someone "Are you bisexual," and they respond "sure," yes it's an affirmation. I do not understand how there is any debate about that. I really don't think that this discussion would be happening if this was about any other topic; if she had said "sure" in response to any other question, there would be no debate and it would be put on her wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scharles ( talk • contribs) 13:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

It is trivial. It is tabloid nonsense that some tabloid reading people buy into. Wiki is not a tabloid. A musical act should be noted for music and not a style of clothes or hair. This is totally not needed and makes wiki look like a tabloid with gossip material making wiki not a reliable source of info. The links posted were tabloid links to some trash souse in England. That is news over there. Here in America we don't consider that news in the general media.

The Times is not a "trashy" newspaper, nor is it "tabloid" in the usual derogatory sense, having been published longer than most if not all US newspapers and not to be confusd with The National Enquirer/Weekly World News or other bastions of quality US journalism.

Is there consensus for the recent name change implemented by Dance-pop, whereby one part of the name was removed. People rarely utter the full name in conversation (particularly when it's as long as hers). All the sources I've even seen show there are 3 parts to her full birth name. — R 2 18:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Lady GaGa actually stated in her "Myspace Fashion: The Fit" video that she likes there to be question in gender in terms of fashion. But the whole statement that she is a tranny is just gossip. It doesn't have any significance therefore I don't think it deserves a place in this article. -- Child Funk ( talk) 08:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone think Eh Eh has a place in the article, it is probably now her most recant and now notable single. Dance-pop ( talk) 21:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I think it might be noteworthy to include her inclusions of her dogs (I am not sure exactly what breed, so I will not attempt to say) as well as a pair of beat headphones in each of her music videos. Its one of those things that will not only be historically relevant in due time, but also very interesting to current fans.

Oops, I removed the info without seeing the talk page first. I removed the source and info for an entirely different reason. That source used to be in the article before we gave it a clean up. However it was removed as it doesn't comply with WP:RS, it's a rather ropey website. It would have to be removed at a GA review, our ultimate goal for the article. — R 2 12:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't get why the page was moved. Her official site ladygaga.com (look at the biography) spells it GaGa, so there is a source both ways. Why wasn't this discussed and what makes the label's website more reliable? Grk1011/Stephen ( talk) 22:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

"Her entrepreneur father was shocked when saw his daugther ran off to the Lower East Side..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.24.33.125 ( talk) 02:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, so this info was already part of the article but some of it was supported by a video and was deleted. Here is my original revision:
"Throughout 2007, Lady Gaga collaborated with the similarly named Lower East Side Rock DJ, go-go dancer and performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped Gaga create her onstage fashions. [5] The pair began playing gigs at downtown club venues like Mercury Lounge, The Bitter End, and Rockwood Music Hall [6], with their live performance art piece, "Lady Gaga and The Starlight Revue" [7]. Billed as "The Ultimate Pop Burlesque RockShow" [8], it was a low-fi tribute to 1970's variety acts which featured Lady Gaga on synth, Lady Starlight spinning beats, choreographed go-go moves, shiny disco balls, and hairspray, lit on fire and sprayed into the audience. [9] In August 2007, Lady Gaga and The Starlight Revue were invited to play at American music festival Lollapalooza, where they shocked audiences with their wild performance. [10] Their show, however, may have been overshadowed by Gaga’s brush with the law—she received an indecent exposure citation from a bicycle cop for wearing "hot pants". [10] Despite this incident, the show was critically acclaimed and Gaga's perfomance received rave reviews. [11] [6]"
Some users feel that nothing but the Lollapalooza performance is notable. Personally I disagree since GaGa and Starlight performed together in "Lady GaGa and The Starlight Revue" for over a year at numerous venues in downtown NYC. The fact that several news publications are writing about their time spent performing together makes me think that ALL the info is notable. However, after a chat with Realist (who I always find to be of sound mind in this place) and taking his advice, I have trimmed my post to this:
"Throughout 2007, Lady Gaga collaborated with the similarly named Lower East Side Rock DJ, go-go dancer and performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped Gaga create her onstage fashions.

Even I know that I will lose, I vote to No, since these performances are non-notable because nothing happened in there to make it notable, unlike the Loollapalooza where Gaga received an indecent exposure citation and despite received rave reviews, making it notable.

i think that is should be mentioned that lady gaga was the top facebook update in 2009 because facebook is a huge outlet for pop culture and it shows a major step in her career as the quote below mentions to compare her to madonna and honestly it is just an impressive feat to not be at all mentioned in November 2008 to now being the most talked about celebrity on facebook. i think even though it seems minor it is a big deal considering she even had her own personal category with is impressive.
"Facebook on Tuesday released a list of the words and themes that appeared most frequently in users' status updates in 2009. Not surprisingly, the list includes popular celebrities—both living and dead—healthcare concerns, and games.
Facebook divided its list into several categories, including Facebook Applications, Celebrity Deaths, Swine Flu, Movies, and Sports. It even created a separate category for pop star Lady Gaga, who is fast gaining Madonna-like popularity and appeal.
"She was virtually unmentioned until November of 2008 and spiked in mentions of her name in September 2009," wrote Facebook data scientist Lars Backstrom, in a blog post."
