Lady Gaga, who's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, prefers to be called just Gaga. She thinks that Lady is too formal (considering the fact SHE makes her own name). She was born on March 28th, 1986. She is a Jewish Blonde (not a Brunette for those who thinks she is). Lady Gaga has a "thing" for the crazy styles. At the Grammy's of '10, she would've been ranked an "A". They loved the "Out of This World" dress, but didn't like the exaggerating make-up or heel-less shoes. Her following tours: "The Fame Ball Tour" and "The Monster Ball Tour" Please update this whenever you wish! 69.138.69.0 ( talk) 23:39, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Jasmine D.

I am very curious about her selling 35 million digital singles WW. There is an article from november 2009 and they said that she sold 20 million digital singles. It is impossible to sell 15 million more in only 2 month and with only one new single. We all know that Artists webs normally inflate their sales. We should try to find another source for this. http://ema.mtv.co.uk/artists/lady_gaga There is a report saying that her digital sales in Us are around 18 millon. I think 17 million more around the world seems to much. Sorry for my english.-- Albes29 ( talk) 19:05, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
-If you read that article its says "to date" as in, thats how many she sold during that time. Yes it is possible to do so, and she has done so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.139.26 ( talk) 20:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't know if someone noted, but the current source, besides being unreliable, presents a completely different information which she back up. The most reliable and accuracy thing that I ever seen is this (more than 21.5 million units sold just in the U.S.), however, he just present the figures in the United States, but as for now, while there's no reliability to the Worldwide situtation I would vote to keep the statement with the source and the figure that I brought even if it only presents the American one. Sparks Fly 14:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
She sold 35 million worldwide...the 14 million number is the US alone...it makes sense she sold almost 5 million in the US of just dance, 4 million poker face, 3 million bad romance, and about 2 million of paparazzi and lovegame —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.63.248.252 ( talk) 02:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Who put this? This might be her sales for singles in the US alone but there are many sources saying that it is well over 30 million, if not 40 million for worldwide. Also, the eight million albums is just for The Fame, it is well over 10 million if the fame monster is included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.105.10 ( talk) 00:01, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Here she says she got nervous before the audition: she did not attend the audition and instead went to acting class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMwPU6C1rvI&feature=player_embedded. In addition there is no full-time programme for 11-year-olds at Juilliard, it is a weekly Saturday class; so had she auditioned and got in she could have gone to her private school as well as Juilliard so it's misleading to say 'She was all set to join Juilliard but instead attended The Convent of the Sacred Heart' - one could easily attend both. Here's Juilliard's info for potential attendants below university age: http://www.juilliard.edu/precollege/general.html. For what it's worth, I think she's great, but it's misleading to mention Juilliard at all in the article. KarlBattery ( talk) 17:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I have a concern, this article is filling up rather fast. With extremely important things like being sued, the hermaphodite rumour, the gay activist/speaking at HRC dinner, polaroid deal etc. that are non music related, she has done so much in just under 2 years. Now all of this needs to be included of course and should be, and there will continue to be more and more everyweek with her, like how this week Telephone reached number one in the UK and became her 6th Pop 100 #1 tied for first with Beyonce, Mariah etc. Once this gets to be too much, what happens?? I was just looking at the article for The Beatles and there seems to be articles upon articles about them. Would the same thing happen with Gaga, or would information be deleted for her (please be the former)? Because this is bound to happen at the rate she is making article worthy news. If so, what would possible articles about her be that aren't "Lady Gaga" would there be and would they be easy to access to? Certain wikipedia articles, such as lists, are great but hard to find for a normal web browser. Surely it's too early for some of these questions to be asked but if possible it would be really interesting to be insightful about it this early on, considering how important she has become/has yet to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.105.10 ( talk) 00:30, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
The state of this article is disappointing. Instead of even making a mere mention of several revolutionary career achievements linked to album success, music reception, innovations in music videos or whatever, the digital experience or her revolutionary business affairs in the music industry - all this more analytical stuff is kept for the album / single pages. At the end of the day, the bio page is left with useless/random commentaries related to her style and influences. For instance, the music style and influences section is laced with random quotes pulled from the popular press, some of which don't really add any particular value or direction to the article. This article needs a rework from top-to-bottom. It seems like when actual achievements are added, they are removed in the name of fancrut or keeping things comprehensive. On the other hard, the uncoordinated, and most often, useless details like the random journalist quotes rest unchanged from the moment they are inserted. If things are to change, there must be an accommodation for new editors to come in and add notable career achievements as they develop. Gaga is in the press 24/7, and while I'm all for wiki comprehensiveness, it would be hard to argue that at least a minority of these issues or themes do not merit a passage on the bio page, over other things we have now like four lines dedicated to the 2008 Gaga/Aguilera confrontation.

Look, it's taken on a life of it's own when you have *Barbra Walters* asking Gaga on National TV in an interview, not only that but in a FREAKIN AD for the aforementioned interview, if she's a hermaphrodite.

It's ridiculous. Michael Jacksons rumours, the ones he himself invented to fuel his popularity, are addressed. Why not one that for all possibilities is quite likely to be true? In fact the number one reason behind the refuting of pictures, video, her previous own statements she removed from her blog (ignoring that you can't delete something from the internet) are somehow outweighed because "she says so". If any POV is happening it's that biggest, and seemingly ONLY, source those against it have are that she and her manager have denied it. Which isn't allowed as disputation regardless. On any articles. In fact self-proclamation as fact from the person/people the article is ABOUT is specifically disallowed here on Wikipedia. 60.230.198.186 ( talk) 09:13, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Sutter Cane

The
footage of her on MTV's
Boiling Points (well before she was Lady Gaga) should pretty effectively put this rumor to rest. She looks like a run-of-the-mill, full-of-herself, 20 year-old girl with a big schnoz. Since her success, she may very well have had work done to enhance her androgynous liking, but to fuel such a completely unwarranted, unfounded, and absurd rumor on Wikipedia would be intellectually irresponsible.

I was looking for her ancestry, and she's italian by both father and mother, AND, she has french ancestry by mother's side. Here the link: http://ladygaga.wikia.com/wiki/Lady_GaGa I also found in italian wikipedia that her italian ancestry comes from Palermo, Sicily.

I am very curious about her selling 35 million digital singles WW. There is an article from november 2009 and they said that she sold 20 million digital singles. It is impossible to sell 15 million more in only 2 month and with only one new single. We all know that Artists webs normally inflate their sales. We should try to find another source for this. http://ema.mtv.co.uk/artists/lady_gaga There is a report saying that her digital sales in Us are around 18 millon. I think 17 million more around the world seems to much. Sorry for my english.-- Albes29 ( talk) 19:05, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if someone noted, but the current source, besides being unreliable, presents a completely different information which she back up. The most reliable and accuracy thing that I ever seen is this (more than 21.5 million units sold just in the U.S.), however, he just present the figures in the United States, but as for now, while there's no reliability to the Worldwide situtation I would vote to keep the statement with the source and the figure that I brought even if it only presents the American one.

Who put this? This might be her sales for singles in the US alone but there are many sources saying that it is well over 30 million, if not 40 million for worldwide.

Here she says she got nervous before the audition: she did not attend the audition and instead went to acting class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMwPU6C1rvI&feature=player_embedded. In addition there is no full-time programme for 11-year-olds at Juilliard, it is a weekly Saturday class; so had she auditioned and got in she could have gone to her private school as well as Juilliard so it's misleading to say 'She was all set to join Juilliard but instead attended The Convent of the Sacred Heart' - one could easily attend both. Here's Juilliard's info for potential attendants below university age: http://www.juilliard.edu/precollege/general.html. For what it's worth, I think she's great, but it's misleading to mention Juilliard at all in the article. KarlBattery ( talk) 17:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I have a concern, this article is filling up rather fast. With extremely important things like being sued, the hermaphodite rumour, the gay activist/speaking at HRC dinner, polaroid deal etc. that are non music related, she has done so much in just under 2 years. Now all of this needs to be included of course and should be, and there will continue to be more and more everyweek with her, like how this week Telephone reached number one in the UK and became her 6th Pop 100 #1 tied for first with Beyonce, Mariah etc. Once this gets to be too much, what happens?? I was just looking at the article for The Beatles and there seems to be articles upon articles about them. Would the same thing happen with Gaga, or would information be deleted for her (please be the former)? Because this is bound to happen at the rate she is making article worthy news. If so, what would possible articles about her be that aren't "Lady Gaga" would there be and would they be easy to access to? Certain wikipedia articles, such as lists, are great but hard to find for a normal web browser. Surely it's too early for some of these questions to be asked but if possible it would be really interesting to be insightful about it this early on, considering how important she has become/has yet to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.105.10 ( talk) 00:30, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
The state of this article is disappointing. Instead of even making a mere mention of several revolutionary career achievements linked to album success, music reception, innovations in music videos or whatever, the digital experience or her revolutionary business affairs in the music industry - all this more analytical stuff is kept for the album / single pages. At the end of the day, the bio page is left with useless/random commentaries related to her style and influences. For instance, the music style and influences section is laced with random quotes pulled from the popular press, some of which don't really add any particular value or direction to the article. This article needs a rework from top-to-bottom. It seems like when actual achievements are added, they are removed in the name of fancrut or keeping things comprehensive. On the other hard, the uncoordinated, and most often, useless details like the random journalist quotes rest unchanged from the moment they are inserted. If things are to change, there must be an accommodation for new editors to come in and add notable career achievements as they develop. Gaga is in the press 24/7, and while I'm all for wiki comprehensiveness, it would be hard to argue that at least a minority of these issues or themes do not merit a passage on the bio page, over other things we have now like four lines dedicated to the 2008 Gaga/Aguilera confrontation.

Look, it's taken on a life of it's own when you have *Barbra Walters* asking Gaga on National TV in an interview, not only that but in a FREAKIN AD for the aforementioned interview, if she's a hermaphrodite. Okay, that is pretty huge and people go to this site for information, so it should get a passing mention with how she's been asked and how she has disproved it.

It's ridiculous. Michael Jacksons rumours, the ones he himself invented to fuel his popularity, are addressed. Why not one that for all possibilities is quite likely to be true? In fact the number one reason behind the refuting of pictures, video, her previous own statements she removed from her blog (ignoring that you can't delete something from the internet) are somehow outweighed because "she says so". If any POV is happening it's that biggest, and seemingly ONLY, source those against it have are that she and her manager have denied it. Which isn't allowed as disputation regardless. On any articles. In fact self-proclamation as fact from the person/people the article is ABOUT is specifically disallowed here on Wikipedia. 60.230.198.186 ( talk) 09:13, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Sutter Cane

The
footage of her on MTV's
Boiling Points (well before she was Lady Gaga) should pretty effectively put this rumor to rest. She looks like a run-of-the-mill, full-of-herself, 20 year-old girl with a big schnoz. Since her success, she may very well have had work done to enhance her androgynous liking, but to fuel such a completely unwarranted, unfounded, and absurd rumor on Wikipedia would be intellectually irresponsible.
