In early February, at her visit at Brentwood School in LA, Gaga confessed that she suffered from Bulimia Nervosa, in her teens. She stated that "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I'm not that confident. And maybe it's easier for me to talk about it now because I don't do it anymore." [237]Gaga later stated as a teen she wanted to be a skinny little Ballerina,and always questioned her father every dinner on why they always ate pasta and meatballs. Gaga stopped purging due to fear of damaging her vocal chords. "The acid on your vocal chords -- it's very bad. But for those of you who don't sing, you maybe don't have that excuse until it's too late. It's very dangerous," [238]she said. Gaga also spoke about societies pressures of being thin on young girls especially in the fashion industry. "Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect It's not real life... The dieting wars have got to stop."

Fans started a download date for the song since they have not had a video and new remixes since marry the night and it is a fan favourie an could help with the history of the song if this was added on to her main page i Think her main page should appear like this.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The Fame Monster's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.
Influenced by David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Queen, Lady Gaga is recognized for her flamboyant, diverse and outré contributions to the music industry through her fashion, performances and music videos. She has sold an estimated 23 million albums and 64 million singles worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time and her singles are some of the best selling worldwide.[1] Her achievements include five Grammy Awards and 13 MTV Video Music Awards. Lady Gaga has consecutively appeared on Billboard magazine's Artists of the Year (scoring the definitive title in 2010), ranked fourth in VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women in Music, is regularly placed on lists composed by Forbes magazine and was named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine.[2][3] In 2012, Gaga was ranked at number four on Billboard's list of top moneymakers of 2011, grossing more than $25 million.[4] Lady Gaga's Fnas Have Started a Facebook Campaign To Make The Song The 6th Single From Born This Way And Set a Download Day For July 30th 2012 To Get Lady Gaga's Attention So She Would Release It Has a Single And Put Out a Video And Some Remixes. Also a Radio Request Week Is Set For July 9th Fans Are Set To Request The Song On Radio In The US & Around The World With a Message Telling Other Little Monsters About The Download Day On July 30th 2012.

I have changed the profile picture to a newer one, since it's good to use the freshest picture there, and while the previous one was taken in 2010, this one was shot in September 2012. Also, the singer's face can be seen clearly thus it's a good portray of her to be used in the main information box.

Far too much gushing by fans here. Specifically awards and sales stats. Only those which she ranks #1 should be included as anything less is of questionalble notability. Additionally claims and statements made by gaga on topics that she is not considered a subject matter expert should also be excluded (eg. Status of gay rights in europe). Just because fans hang on her every word does not mean anyone else in the world does. 108.172.114.141 ( talk) 22:58, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. A simple calc would be stating what her sales ate. To add the subjective characterization that her count make her one of the best selling artists is synth. And honestly, that list is a compilation of competeing fans who wish to see their fav artists labled as such. And to be consistant with pther pages, if she receives a nomination it should be mentioned. Not just that she was included in BB's artists of the "consecutively" (which isnt proper english). Lastly, i agree, staements I make are a large part of who I am. But that doesnt make them (or me) notable. Just because gaga is very notable does not make every word out of her mouth notable. Unless those particular comments received wide spread coverage in reliable sources they are an issue of undue weight.

you're missing the point. who defined the qualification for "Best Selling Artists of all time"? Answer: wikipedians. As such, it cannot be a title or claim made in any other wiki articles as wiki can not reference itself or be a source for itself. the only way the article can state that gaga is one of the best selling artists of all time is if a thrid party (outside of wikipedia) makes that statement. You dont seem to get that wikipedia cant just make up titles and definitions (even if through concensus of editors) and then use those as claims in other articles. That is what is synth. If I create a page that is titled "list of the worlds largest cities" and then agree with other editors that the qualification for inclusion is only 100 resident I cant then run around wikipedia changing the articles of various small towns who havew more than 100 residents to claim they are "one of the largest cities in the world". you see my point? Someone external (and reliable) has to make these determinations. It cant be a product of wikipedia editors. 96.49.237.199 ( talk) 20:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I was tring to avoid the statement (to aleviate flaming and tantrums from fans) but in reality, gaga is not one of the best selling artists of all time. Even on the page wikipedia has defined she only ranks 97th. Hardly notable. 96.49.237.199 ( talk) 20:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I gove up. You admit wikipedia came up with the definition (there is no reliable source elsewhere defining this) and then say its fine because of consensus. It's not. But ultimately this is what wiki has become: fans, detractors, coi's rounding up enough supporters to form "consensus" to get their way and insert theyre own views. I feels like (and could be) i'm arguing with an irrational child that just refuses to accept reality and instead substitues their own. I'll just avoid wikipedia for another 3-4 years and try again later. Its been fun!

and just so your clear, here is a refresher on "founding principals" specificaly clause 3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Core_content_policies
No original research – Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Articles may not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not clearly advanced by the sources.
You can only form consensus on facts fromreliable sources (you dont have a source saying gaga is a best selling artist of all time do you?)
From the same page:
In its earliest form, the policy singled out edits for exclusion that:
Introduce a theory or method of solution;
What you ahve on the wiki page of best selling artists is a method of solution. Its wrong and i think you probably know it but your appreciation for gaga is preventing you from aknowledging it.

04:31, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Mynpoint is tomorrow a consensus could be made that selling 100 albums was now the qualifier for inclusion on that list. By your logic any artist who made that wikipedia defined threshold could then add to their article the claim that they are "one of the best selling artist of all time" which obviously wouldnt be true. The OR is wikipedia determining what qualifies as "best selling of all time". There is no reliable source to back this up. Its OR and synth by consensus on the entire best selling page (unless of course a reliable source has stated an artist is best selling of all time). The only way your arguement could hold water without being synth or OR would be to take the lowest selling artist who has been cited in a reliable source to be a "best selling of all time" and then also include anyone who has sold more. Currently tht page is a collection of fans arguing on behalf of their artists and overwhelming level headed editors to the point of including all kinds of artists who have never had a reliablesource identify them as best selling of all time.

You obviously havent looked at the list page then. I commented there as well. There is a lack of basic understanding where by wikipedia cannot define who is a best selling artist. Only a reliable source can do that. But alas, wikipedia has been over run with young editors (well documented) who prefer to write pages how they wish the world was as opposed to what they can source. Its become too frustrating to argue with editors such as yourself who just refuse to limit articles to what can be sourced. I give up. You win. Now run off and beam at your gaga poster on your bedroom wall knowing you've successfully helped to promote her.

I'm aware this has already been discussed but I wanted to throw my voice in. The capitalization guidelines of Wikipedia are being misused here and taken much too literally. While they stress avoiding capitalization, particularly unnecessary capitalization, the styling of ARTPOP is supposed to be capitalized as has already been cited. It hasn't been referred to by Gaga in press as being lowercase. Madonna's MDNA is written in all caps, and while some may dismiss that example because they believe it be an acronym, Madonna herself has stated it also has the meaning is a shortened version fo her own name. But we don't write MDNA as Mdna. That doesn't make sense and that's not how the album is being promoted. To write Artpop in lowercase letters does an injustice to the work and portrays it inaccurately, and to disregard that notion under the guise of following Wikipedia's standards also flies in the face of this being a site that is supposed to produce accurate information that isn't misleading.
Wikipedia also stresses staying away from writing titles in all lowercase letters, but we have several pages that do just that with both artist names and song titles. Guidelines are not law, and they should be interpreted based on what's appropriate for the work. If an artist has pointed out that the title of their work is to be capitalized, that needs to be reflected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Decaydance2 ( talk • contribs) 02:41, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Gaga confirmed on littlemonsters.com and on her twitter account that ARTPOP does indeed work as an acronym, in which case it stands for 'Artistic Revolution Through the Potential Of Pop'.

Hello, I'm a first-time editor and I'm interested in adding Iron Maiden to the list of Lady Gaga's musical influences. Or at least, she is influenced by their fan relations. Here this the relevant support:
"I just saw IRON MAIDEN on their 'Frontier' tour and it totally changed my life. It was my first MAIDEN experience and I just realized in that moment in the show that that was the kind of artist I wanted to be. I didn't want people… 30 years from now coming to see my show to see if I've still got it. But rather I wanted them to be fully unified, fists in the air, wanna hear every song." -Lady Gaga, 2011
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=160922
Based on this comment, would Iron Maiden simply be added to the list of her musical influences? Or would there be a new sentence drawing the distinction that she is influenced by their relationship with their fans if not necessarily their sound? Also, I've never added a citation to an article before so any help would be greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seagerm1 ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Please remove the "See also: Madonna wannabe" citation under the Artistry > Influences heading. When visiting the page that citation leads you to, it lists a plethora of artists who are considered "Madonna wannabes", such as Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj. However, none of those artists have "See also: Madonna wannabe" added to their own Wikipedia pages under their Artistry headings.
There is no reason for this to be included on Lady Gaga's Wikipedia page other than to insult her, seeing as "Madonna wannabe" is an insult people use against her. It does not add to nor help Lady Gaga's Wikipedia page. Furthermore, Gaga's Wikipedia page mentions Madonna enough for people to understand that, yes, Gaga is indeed influenced by her.

According to several secondary sources as America (magazine): Many a critic has dubbed Gaga as a Madonna wannabe.

The idea is implied on the synthpop site, though it isn't making the claim outright; genre sites usually follow a narrative framework with one influence leading to another- that's the whole point of them (I can see that it is not a solid enough source to warrant a citation). Remember that this entire site is built by individual posters who wish to add to the site for the good of everyone, and mistreating posters who are trying to make valuable contributions completely works against that idea by discouraging people to post.
As for the topic, I would argue that she did introduce her new version of the synthpop sound, as I don't know of any artists before her that you could say "sound like Lady Gaga." However there are countless artists who made music after her whose music does easily "sound like Lady Gaga." I'll continue to look for third party sources discussing this, and if I find one I'll definitely post it.
By the way, I am not even a fan a Lady Gaga (in case you thought I was just a die hard fan who wanted to improve her image or something), but I care about the perception of her music because of how it has affected our culture. Jpq21 ( talk) 00:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, I request to briefly state the fact in this wikipedia article that Stefani attended Circle in the Square Theatre School. She spent a summer in our 7-week intensive summer musical theater workshop when still in high school. It was here, as a student of our faculty member Alan Langdon that Stefani was required to read "Letters From a Young Poet" by Rilke -- where through her work with Alan Stefani discovered the meaning and quote she loves so much that she later had it tatooed onto her body. Stefani was also a student of our faculty member Jacqueline Brookes (who passed away earlier this year). Jacqueline brilliantly taught the concept of being private in public which Stefani has referenced in an interview or two. The first-hand sources of this information are the school director (since 1979) E. Colin O'Leary, Alan Langdon and Jacqueline Brookes.
So, to be specific, I would revise the sentence "Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career." to now read "Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, at Circle in the Square Theatre School where Alan Langdon and Jacqueline Brookes were influential teachers, and later briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career.
Thank you,

In early February, at her visit at Brentwood School in LA, Gaga confessed that she suffered from Bulimia Nervosa, in her teens. She stated that "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I'm not that confident. And maybe it's easier for me to talk about it now because I don't do it anymore." [237]Gaga later stated as a teen she wanted to be a skinny little Ballerina,and always questioned her father every dinner on why they always ate pasta and meatballs. Gaga stopped purging due to fear of damaging her vocal chords. "The acid on your vocal chords -- it's very bad. But for those of you who don't sing, you maybe don't have that excuse until it's too late. It's very dangerous," [238]she said. Gaga also spoke about societies pressures of being thin on young girls especially in the fashion industry. "Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect It's not real life... The dieting wars have got to stop."

Fans started a download date for the song since they have not had a video and new remixes since marry the night and it is a fan favourie an could help with the history of the song if this was added on to her main page i Think her main page should appear like this.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The Fame Monster's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.
Influenced by David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Queen, Lady Gaga is recognized for her flamboyant, diverse and outré contributions to the music industry through her fashion, performances and music videos. She has sold an estimated 23 million albums and 64 million singles worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time and her singles are some of the best selling worldwide.[1] Her achievements include five Grammy Awards and 13 MTV Video Music Awards. Lady Gaga has consecutively appeared on Billboard magazine's Artists of the Year (scoring the definitive title in 2010), ranked fourth in VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women in Music, is regularly placed on lists composed by Forbes magazine and was named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine.[2][3] In 2012, Gaga was ranked at number four on Billboard's list of top moneymakers of 2011, grossing more than $25 million.[4] Lady Gaga's Fnas Have Started a Facebook Campaign To Make The Song The 6th Single From Born This Way And Set a Download Day For July 30th 2012 To Get Lady Gaga's Attention So She Would Release It Has a Single And Put Out a Video And Some Remixes. Also a Radio Request Week Is Set For July 9th Fans Are Set To Request The Song On Radio In The US & Around The World With a Message Telling Other Little Monsters About The Download Day On July 30th 2012.

Far too much gushing by fans here. Specifically awards and sales stats. Only those which she ranks #1 should be included as anything less is of questionalble notability.

Thanks for the feedback. A simple calc would be stating what her sales ate. To add the subjective characterization that her count make her one of the best selling artists is synth. And honestly, that list is a compilation of competeing fans who wish to see their fav artists labled as such. And to be consistant with pther pages, if she receives a nomination it should be mentioned. Not just that she was included in BB's artists of the "consecutively" (which isnt proper english). Lastly, i agree, staements I make are a large part of who I am. But that doesnt make them (or me) notable. Just because gaga is very notable does not make every word out of her mouth notable. Unless those particular comments received wide spread coverage in reliable sources they are an issue of undue weight.

you're missing the point. who defined the qualification for "Best Selling Artists of all time"? Answer: wikipedians. As such, it cannot be a title or claim made in any other wiki articles as wiki can not reference itself or be a source for itself. the only way the article can state that gaga is one of the best selling artists of all time is if a thrid party (outside of wikipedia) makes that statement. You dont seem to get that wikipedia cant just make up titles and definitions (even if through concensus of editors) and then use those as claims in other articles. That is what is synth. If I create a page that is titled "list of the worlds largest cities" and then agree with other editors that the qualification for inclusion is only 100 resident I cant then run around wikipedia changing the articles of various small towns who havew more than 100 residents to claim they are "one of the largest cities in the world". you see my point? Someone external (and reliable) has to make these determinations. It cant be a product of wikipedia editors. 96.49.237.199 ( talk) 20:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I was tring to avoid the statement (to aleviate flaming and tantrums from fans) but in reality, gaga is not one of the best selling artists of all time. Even on the page wikipedia has defined she only ranks 97th. Hardly notable. 96.49.237.199 ( talk) 20:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I gove up. You admit wikipedia came up with the definition (there is no reliable source elsewhere defining this) and then say its fine because of consensus. It's not. But ultimately this is what wiki has become: fans, detractors, coi's rounding up enough supporters to form "consensus" to get their way and insert theyre own views. I feels like (and could be) i'm arguing with an irrational child that just refuses to accept reality and instead substitues their own. I'll just avoid wikipedia for another 3-4 years and try again later. Its been fun!

and just so your clear, here is a refresher on "founding principals" specificaly clause 3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Core_content_policies
No original research – Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Articles may not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not clearly advanced by the sources.
You can only form consensus on facts fromreliable sources (you dont have a source saying gaga is a best selling artist of all time do you?)
From the same page:
In its earliest form, the policy singled out edits for exclusion that:
Introduce a theory or method of solution;
What you ahve on the wiki page of best selling artists is a method of solution. Its wrong and i think you probably know it but your appreciation for gaga is preventing you from aknowledging it.

04:31, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Mynpoint is tomorrow a consensus could be made that selling 100 albums was now the qualifier for inclusion on that list. By your logic any artist who made that wikipedia defined threshold could then add to their article the claim that they are "one of the best selling artist of all time" which obviously wouldnt be true. The OR is wikipedia determining what qualifies as "best selling of all time". There is no reliable source to back this up. Its OR and synth by consensus on the entire best selling page (unless of course a reliable source has stated an artist is best selling of all time). The only way your arguement could hold water without being synth or OR would be to take the lowest selling artist who has been cited in a reliable source to be a "best selling of all time" and then also include anyone who has sold more. Currently tht page is a collection of fans arguing on behalf of their artists and overwhelming level headed editors to the point of including all kinds of artists who have never had a reliablesource identify them as best selling of all time.

You obviously havent looked at the list page then. I commented there as well. There is a lack of basic understanding where by wikipedia cannot define who is a best selling artist. Only a reliable source can do that. But alas, wikipedia has been over run with young editors (well documented) who prefer to write pages how they wish the world was as opposed to what they can source. Its become too frustrating to argue with editors such as yourself who just refuse to limit articles to what can be sourced. I give up. You win. Now run off and beam at your gaga poster on your bedroom wall knowing you've successfully helped to promote her.

I'm aware this has already been discussed but I wanted to throw my voice in. The capitalization guidelines of Wikipedia are being misused here and taken much too literally. While they stress avoiding capitalization, particularly unnecessary capitalization, the styling of ARTPOP is supposed to be capitalized as has already been cited. It hasn't been referred to by Gaga in press as being lowercase. Madonna's MDNA is written in all caps, and while some may dismiss that example because they believe it be an acronym, Madonna herself has stated it also has the meaning is a shortened version fo her own name. But we don't write MDNA as Mdna. That doesn't make sense and that's not how the album is being promoted. To write Artpop in lowercase letters does an injustice to the work and portrays it inaccurately, and to disregard that notion under the guise of following Wikipedia's standards also flies in the face of this being a site that is supposed to produce accurate information that isn't misleading.
Wikipedia also stresses staying away from writing titles in all lowercase letters, but we have several pages that do just that with both artist names and song titles. Guidelines are not law, and they should be interpreted based on what's appropriate for the work. If an artist has pointed out that the title of their work is to be capitalized, that needs to be reflected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Decaydance2 ( talk • contribs) 02:41, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm a first-time editor and I'm interested in adding Iron Maiden to the list of Lady Gaga's musical influences. Or at least, she is influenced by their fan relations. Here this the relevant support:
"I just saw IRON MAIDEN on their 'Frontier' tour and it totally changed my life. It was my first MAIDEN experience and I just realized in that moment in the show that that was the kind of artist I wanted to be. I didn't want people… 30 years from now coming to see my show to see if I've still got it. But rather I wanted them to be fully unified, fists in the air, wanna hear every song." -Lady Gaga, 2011
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=160922
Based on this comment, would Iron Maiden simply be added to the list of her musical influences? Or would there be a new sentence drawing the distinction that she is influenced by their relationship with their fans if not necessarily their sound? Also, I've never added a citation to an article before so any help would be greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seagerm1 ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Please edit the page to note that Lady Gaga's life and work has been critically examined in the book _The performance identities of Lady Gaga_ edited by Richard J. Gray II. This book was published by McFarland and many essays relate to her music and costuming. Fans and scholars alike will want to pay special attention to Jennifer M. Woolston's essay, "Lady Gaga and the Wolf," as it traces _The Fame Monster_ album's overlap with the tale of "Little Red Riding Hood." 71.61.68.105 ( talk) 05:07, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

As written in the wikipedia page of Taylor Kinney, he is in a relationship with gaga. "Kinney has been in a relationship with Lady Gaga since September 2011. They met during filming of Gaga's "You and I" music video in July 2011." I think it should be mentioned in her page as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.68.204.197 ( talk) 19:38, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Please remove the "See also: Madonna wannabe" citation under the Artistry > Influences heading. When visiting the page that citation leads you to, it lists a plethora of artists who are considered "Madonna wannabes", such as Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj. However, none of those artists have "See also: Madonna wannabe" added to their own Wikipedia pages under their Artistry headings.
There is no reason for this to be included on Lady Gaga's Wikipedia page other than to insult her, seeing as "Madonna wannabe" is an insult people use against her. It does not add to nor help Lady Gaga's Wikipedia page. Furthermore, Gaga's Wikipedia page mentions Madonna enough for people to understand that, yes, Gaga is indeed influenced by her.

I think that the delete was improcedent. Is necessary to emphasize with this, because is a term which has been associated with Gaga worldwide. Why deprive the reader of this?.
According to several secondary sources as America (magazine): Many a critic has dubbed Gaga as a Madonna wannabe. It may not be necessary to place it in a "template" ("See also"), but in the body of the article, ie, the section of "influences" and placing the term Madonna wannabe.

Can't we include the following on the " Americano" page? This was one single event... doesn't make her an activist for immigration:
This should read "anti-illegal immigration law," as described on the page it links to, not "anti-immigration law" JarynFrostwing ( talk) 15:26, 7 May 2013 (UTC) Jaryn Frostwing
Hello people, i want sayin that Lady gaga age 27, not 26. She was on 20 march 2013 27. 77.167.249.7 ( talk) 16:22, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
It recently came out that Lady Gaga was offered $1 million to appear at the Republican National Convention and a further $150,000 in her name to a charity. This should be included in the political activism section. The source is legal documents from an RNC related lawsuit. Here is one article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Witold dc ( talk • contribs) 23:21, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Stephen Colbert likewise offered Donald Trump $1 million for charity if he dipped his balls in his mouth, but Trump did not accept Here's a link. Blackmail is not a legitimate political activity. Jpq21 ( talk) 13:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Since 2010, pop music has been dominated by the sound that Gaga introduced. The artists (that I can think of) that have used or changed to her synthpop oriented sound include Ke$ha, Britney Spears, Madonna, Nikki Minaj, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. I think there should be a section dedicated to how she has influenced modern pop culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpq21 ( talk • contribs) 13:18, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
The "21st Century Revival" section of the wiki article on synthpop discusses Lady Gaga's place the revival of that style, and the subsequent use of the style from other performers after 2010. "Umm, no"-- jeez you don't have to be a douchebag, I'm trying to put some legitimate input into this page. Jpq21 ( talk) 14:06, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I'll give you respect when you give me respect. It's called common decency. By starting your reply with "Umm, no" you simultaneously completely dismissed all merit to the idea I was presenting and disrespected my value as a poster. The idea is implied on the synthpop site, though it isn't making the claim outright; genre sites usually follow a narrative framework with one influence leading to another- that's the whole point of them (I can see that it is not a solid enough source to warrant a citation). Remember that this entire site is built by individual posters who wish to add to the site for the good of everyone, and mistreating posters who are trying to make valuable contributions completely works against that idea by discouraging people to post.
As for the topic, I would argue that she did introduce her new version of the synthpop sound, as I don't know of any artists before her that you could say "sound like Lady Gaga." However there are countless artists who made music after her whose music does easily "sound like Lady Gaga." I'll continue to look for third party sources discussing this, and if I find one I'll definitely post it.
By the way, I am not even a fan a Lady Gaga (in case you thought I was just a die hard fan who wanted to improve her image or something), but I care about the perception of her music because of how it has affected our culture. Jpq21 ( talk) 00:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

I would like to suggest editing the article of Lady gaga's meat dress as well as meat couch which were inspired by a Canadian artist Jana Sterbak. Andhave2 ( talk) 01:22, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Can you please capitalize "ARTPOP" for anytime the name is mentioned? Lady gaga said so herself that she wants "ARTPOP" capitalized. Here is proof: https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/232114376067403776

template. Per Wikipedia's
manual of style on capital letters, the article as written is correct. That being said, the MOS is not ironclad and there are always exceptions, but as this has been brought up repeatedly on this talk page and has yet to be changed, I'm not going to make any changes without seeing a clear consensus to do so. --

16:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Please, can you change all the "Artpop" by "ARTPOP". Gaga said herself that she wants this album's name to be written like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taihin ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
'Gaga has also launched "littlemonsters.com", the first official social network devoted to fans of an artist titled that went online in July 2012'
See Artpop (2013 Lady Gaga album), which was moved to mainspace from the incubator today. Are we ready to have this article? If so, it would seem that a move to Artpop is in order for the title. Objections or concerns? — C.Fred ( talk) 02:11, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... this is a Class A article. -- ARTPOPist ( talk) 20:40, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, I request to briefly state the fact in this wikipedia article that Stefani attended Circle in the Square Theatre School. She spent a summer in our 7-week intensive summer musical theater workshop when still in high school. It was here, as a student of our faculty member Alan Langdon that Stefani was required to read "Letters From a Young Poet" by Rilke -- where through her work with Alan Stefani discovered the meaning and quote she loves so much that she later had it tatooed onto her body. Stefani was also a student of our faculty member Jacqueline Brookes (who passed away earlier this year). Jacqueline brilliantly taught the concept of being private in public which Stefani has referenced in an interview or two. The first-hand sources of this information are the school director (since 1979) E. Colin O'Leary, Alan Langdon and Jacqueline Brookes.
So, to be specific, I would revise the sentence "Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career." to now read "Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, at Circle in the Square Theatre School where Alan Langdon and Jacqueline Brookes were influential teachers, and later briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career.
Thank you,

We have record of her attendance. This is the only professional musical theater and acting program she attended. She was enrolled at NYU for music. The fact is that she attended to our summer musical theater program, so why not give credit where its due? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmann1633 ( talk • contribs) 15:08, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
