Talk:Lady Gaga

Real Name

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....

Urban Dance Musican?

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,hvhjv 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)

Certainly it's appropriate and justifiable, as I'm the one who placed that text. I'm not familiar with her music even remotely, but did not want to delete the article in spite of its copyright concerns as there seemed enough salvageable information for it to remain. I took my best shot at her description based on the information in the infobox. Please, correct and improve the article as necessary. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I will do so =)Ivan ballet izzle (talk) 22:02, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Repairs needed

Someone needs to fix the *singles* table. It's all messed up and such!!!

Thanks! 66.218.202.75 (talk) 06:50, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Name

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)

iTunes and her official website use the double capital 'G' (i.e. GaGa) so I'd go with that =)Ivan ballet izzle (talk) 10:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I just bought the cd, in the songs credits she is always referred to as "Lady Gaga" — i'm now officially confused! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.61.81.182 (talk) 19:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Sexuality?

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)

Agree. Interpreting that as coming out is reading quite a lot into what she said. Leptictidium (mt) 10:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. She admitted to being bisexual. She says 'Sure' to 'Do you consider yourself bisexual?'. Then she goes on to verify that she doesn't agree with the generalized sexual orientation talk, however she's still bisexual. She should be included in the GLBT tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.190.191 (talk) 16:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that "Sure", as of itself, is not enough grounds to say that she is bisexual. I'd say that when she says that she doesn't care about sexual orientation talk, she's referring to people in general. Leptictidium (mt) 09:03, 18 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?

Wrong Picture!!!

Terrible article

This article is pretty awful. Every time she appears on a tv screen is NOT worthy of going in an encyclopedia. Rusty8 (talk) 13:23, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Dancer Names..

PR Article

This article stinks of an article done by a PR person playing themselves as a member of the general public, could someone maybe tone down the praise and general fluff of the article.--58.105.100.205 (talk) 23:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Yepp. I noticed that particular slant as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.136.234.248 (talk) 01:02, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Yepp, another vote agreeing with you. If you read WP:BLP and WP:NPOV, you'll see that every one of us editors has the right to delete any offending unattributed statements in the article. We also have the right to delete any spam (sure she's notable, but her article shouldn't have been written by her promo team). So, knock yourself out! Start snipping! AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:55, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

There is quite a bit of POV in this article. I've done some work to remove a lot of it, but it still remains. Everyone is welcome to help clean it. Acalamari 20:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

um..

did she write this article herself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platinum inc (talk • contribs) 18:44, 16 November 2008 (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.

Fight with Christina Aguilera

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)
