Lady GaGa Time Magazine World Most Influential Artist



Lady Gaga Time Magazine World Most Influential Artist – Lady Gaga aGa named world’s most influential artist by Time MagazineIt seems that Time Magazine has declared Lady Gaga as the world’s most influential artist and for good reason. While her music has been extremely controversial and some believe that she has copied the style of many popular artists and just put her own touch to the music, she has still evolved into a rather successful figure in the music industry.
The pop oddball Lady Gaga was reported by MTV to win the Most Influential Person award but the news hasn’t been confirmed by Time Magazine as of yet. Before you come to the conclusion that this makes Lady Gaga worthy in the music industry you should consider the other people who are to be featured in the magazine. The countries leader Barrack Obama, Steve Jobs from Apple, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Taylor Swift and even Robert Pattinson.

Lady Gaga’s friend known as Cyndi Lauper had some comments about her that you might find rather interesting. She gave her comments about the singer to Time: “An artist’s job is to take a snapshot — be it through words or sound, lyrics or song — that explains what it’s like to be alive at that time. Lady Gaga’s art captures the period we’re in right now… Gaga’s lyrics are incredibly literary. When ‘Bad Romance’ starts, the music grabs your ear immediately. Then she opens with the line ‘I want your ugly/ I want your disease,’ and all of a sudden you’re listening. Most of the stuff on the radio is not very clever, but Gaga presents her ideas in a sophisticated manner. She has an incredible pop sensibility.” Ultimately, whether you hate Gaga, you truly adore her or you don’t have a preference on her it seems that she is going to be sticking around for quite some time to come.

Lady Gaga To Sing Next James Bond Theme


Sir Elton John has said he is “really pleased” that Lady Gaga has been tipped to record a song for the next James Bond film.

Last week, a report claimed producers had targeted the US singer to submit a theme for the next film.

Sir Elton, who performed with Lady Gaga at the Grammy Awards in February, said he was happy for the star and hoped they could record a duet in the future.

I'm really pleased that Lady Gaga is up for the theme tune,” the singer is quoted as telling the People.

“She's fantastic and it would be amazing to do a duet."

Amy Winehouse, who has been linked to the franchise in the past, and Michael Buble are also said to be in contention to write the theme for the new film.

The next movie, which will once again star Daniel Craig as Bond, is due to go into production later this year.

Now, Lady Gaga's ex-bassist claims she owes him money

New York (ANI): After being sued by her former boyfriend and producer, ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga has now been accused by her ex-bassist, and ‘Disco Heaven’ co-writer of not paying him royalties. Tommy Kafafian claims that he has not gotten a single check for his work with the multiplatinum-selling Grammy winner, who he worked with in 2006.


Buzz up!“I don’t wanna sue anybody. It’s really not my style,” the New York Post quoted him as telling the Newark Star-Ledger. Kafafian, who claims to have helped Gaga hone her sound, said he plans to focus on writing his own songs, rather than make her pay what she owes him.


“I’m just gonna keep moving forward until Lady Gaga can’t walk down the street without seeing my face or hearing my music,” he added.

Flowers Hit Lady Gaga

Usually when a fan pays for a ticket to go and see a star they like in concert, they really like them and just want to see them up close and perform. Well Lady Gaga got a little more than a screaming crowd when she was on tour in Atlanta, Georgia and I bet she didn’t expect anything like that!

While performing her hit single Poker Face and busting some of her fabulous dance moves a bunch of flowers came hurdling towards her. Yes you can bet she was surprised!

It seems that at the last second she saw the bunch coming at her head and was able to avoid them hitting her straight in the face, instead they knocked her hat slightly.

But don’t worry you Gaga fans as she already had the next step planned and was able to stable her hat in position again before it fell off and looked silly; she even got back into her dance routine so quickly that you wouldn’t even had thought that little incident happened just seconds before.

The News of the World got an inside take from somebody who witnessed the scene and they quoted,

“The place was rocking out and some idiot thought it would be a good idea to throw flowers on stage.”

“Whether they meant to hit her I don’t know, but it was a pretty good shot.”

To find out what else this inside source had to say you can just go online to the News of the World website and you’ll find more info there. They’ve even got a little clip that shows you exactly where and when the bunch flowers hit Lady Gaga on the head; plus you’ll get to see her in yet another extravagant outfit – it’s red, it’s a bikini and it reveals quite a lot of skin so boys… don’t blush too much!

Lady Gaga has been quoted saying that she will never be seen out in a ‘normal’ outfit and in the latest turn of events, she even had to be help by air stewards on a flight after the bandage wrap contraption that she was wearing on the plane started to cut off her circulation. Do you think she will ever be captured wearing joggers or trac bottoms? I’m not quite so sure.
