The New Issue of Rolling Stone: The Rise of Lady Gaga

Watch out, Katy Perry: there’s a new princess of pop who kisses girls (for real), claims Marilyn Manson and Madonna as fans and is on the verge of becoming the defining pop star of the year. Lady Gaga struts the streets pants-less, has everyone from Weezer to Justin Timberlake singing her songs and has moved nearly 10 million digital singles — and now she’s on the cover of Rolling Stone’s annual Hot List.

“I don’t feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers,” she tells RS‘ Brian Hiatt in our new feature, on newsstands today. “I think I’m changing what people think is sexy.” Gaga is also changing what it means to be a 21st century pop star, and she’s doing it through 24 hours a day of fierce work — she’s a walking Gaga art project known as much for her outrageous fashion sense as her Eighties-flavored dance hits. “The truth is, the psychotic woman that I truly am comes out when I’m not working,” she says (during Hiatt’s time with the star, she rocks a massive radio concert, takes advice from Cyndi Lauper at a photo shoot and suffers a brief breakdown at a Walmart.com taping). “When I’m not working, I go crazy.” (Track her eye-popping outfits in Lady Gaga’s Wild Looks: The New Princess of Pop’s Craziest Wardrobe Moments.)

Lady Gaga’s devotion to being a star drove her to order bags of cocaine and spend hours perfecting her hair and makeup in a tiny Lower East Side apartment after she dropped out of NYU several years ago — well before she was actually famous. “It was quite sick,” she admits. “I suppose that’s where the vanity of the album came from.” Her debut, The Fame, was almost entirely inspired by her relationship with a heavy-metal drummer named Luke, and their breakup profoundly changed Gaga. She tells Hiatt she’s bisexual, but her attraction to women is purely physical. It’s an aspect of her sexuality that makes boyfriends “uncomfortable,” she says.

Her sexuality proclivities don’t seem to offend Marilyn Manson, however, who lobbed a series of awful pickup lines at his new friend at our cover shoot (grab the issue to hear his worst). “She knows exactly what she’s doing,” he tells RS. “She’s very smart, she’s not selling out, she’s a great musician, she’s a great singer, and she’s laughing when she’s doing it, the same way that I am.”

The savvy Gaga reveals her real musical goals are serious, though: “My true legacy will be the test of time, and whether I can sustain a space in pop culture and really make stuff that will have a genuine impact.”

For much more on Lady Gaga — including her post-Wango Tango hangout with Perez Hilton, how she went from a posh prep-school kid to half-naked bar dancer, and her most vital influences — pick up our new issue, on stands today. And stay tuned to RollingStone.com for more special features from 2009’s Hot List.

Plus, Lady Gaga unleashed her new video for “Paparazzi” just in time for our new issue. Check it out here:

ugh…

eww | 5/27/2009, 10:39 am EST

she is totally a cloning from CHRISTINA AGUILERA.. but this one is uglier

Jeff | 5/27/2009, 11:02 am EST

I like “her” record, it’s catchy and well-produced.

I’m calling it now that she will be a washed up drug addict in a year or two (right now she’s just a drug addict).

mV | 5/27/2009, 11:10 am EST

say hello to ur next superstar!

Sean | 5/27/2009, 11:42 am EST

There’s a galaxy for talent.
She is pretty stunning.
I hope she stays afloat in her plastic boat
amidst the sea of daggers and evil
the music industry makes and is.

hmmm | 5/27/2009, 11:49 am EST

Looks like a less attractive version of Christina Aguilera.

Cloudman | 5/27/2009, 11:54 am EST

Guys, I think you forgot that it’s supposed to be the Hot List, not the Revolting List. Actually, just plug any old adjective in there, like Horrifying or Disgusting or Freakish or Mutantesque. You can make a silly game out of it! (sillier then her terrible music, incidentally)

Ali B JC | 5/27/2009, 11:55 am EST

Um, she’s totally looked better.

Tom | 5/27/2009, 11:59 am EST

People are just mean… She is super talented. Just watch ANY of her live performances. I think she rocks.

Liz | 5/27/2009, 12:11 pm EST

she has an awesome body. i love her songs and i think shes pretty damn unique from all those other pop singers. I hope she doesnt have a downfall.

Anonymous | 5/27/2009, 12:13 pm EST

Lady Gaga is better than Christina Aguilera anytime

dan | 5/27/2009, 12:13 pm EST

christina has the voice but gaga has te talent to creat song and music

Will on the rox | 5/27/2009, 12:15 pm EST

OMG I love her!

why oh god why? | 5/27/2009, 12:16 pm EST

this chick looks like a man, baby!
her or whatever that thing is sucks….the music she makes is entirely forgettable garbage ready to be catered to wannabe pop diva coke head bitches

Anonymous | 5/27/2009, 12:17 pm EST

She is Christina Aguilera on cocaine.

robynnnnnnnn | 5/27/2009, 12:17 pm EST

lady gaga is amazing ….love her music its fun and meaningfull at the same time ….LOVES IT

Jeff | 5/27/2009, 12:17 pm EST

She’s a talentless butterface who will ride the pop wave to a one-hit wonder and then fade out like the rest…

and people wonder why? | 5/27/2009, 12:18 pm EST

and people wonder why 95% of music today is complete shit, at least the music Rolling Stone has on their cover,
the only reason to read this magazine is for the politics….
lady gaga should be known as LADY CACA!!

Danijela | 5/27/2009, 12:18 pm EST

LADY GAGA!!!

copycat | 5/27/2009, 12:18 pm EST

XO | 5/27/2009, 12:19 pm EST

Anonymous | 5/27/2009, 12:21 pm EST

Wowowowow scary pic though!

TE | 5/27/2009, 12:22 pm EST

all I know is her music motivates me to ride my bike faster and trot a little longer on the treadmill…and that makes it good for me. She’s an entertainer and I’m entertained. nuff said..oh and for the haters, jeez…if you don’t like it, don’t listen to it.

Kirill | 5/27/2009, 12:23 pm EST

PLEASE release the other photos! PLEASE!

Dan | 5/27/2009, 12:23 pm EST

One hit wonder? LOL! She have 3 singles already

YO! | 5/27/2009, 12:25 pm EST

Lady Gaga is in fact one of the hottest people to land this cover. She is so unique it’s sexy and just look and that body. C’MON PEOPLE!

Anonymous | 5/27/2009, 12:25 pm EST

shes a minger wat the hell r ppl obsessed with her for

ismenia | 5/27/2009, 12:25 pm EST

no style is unique, which has imposed if christina hair well and use that lady does not mean that mimics, both are completely different, and looks spectacular in this ladygaga Headlines

redraiderdc | 5/27/2009, 12:26 pm EST

Um Jeff: She’s already had two number one smashes and a third song is climbing the charts rapidly. The album has been in the top 10 for weeks and I believe is currently at #4 with a bullet. So your guess that she is going to “ride the pop wave to a one hit wonder” (whatever that means) is wrong already. Get used to it, she’s the future of pop.

Ironic | 5/27/2009, 12:26 pm EST

I like her music, but sometimes it’s seem to my that she is pretty much like cristina aguilera, her voice is just like c.a.

I love one or two song that i’ve heard from her.

bye

brie | 5/27/2009, 12:27 pm EST

soo photo is really badly done, you can see the piece of fabric that covers her boobs. its like a clear line..pretty tacky.

i dot get the whole bisexual thing…only physically attracted t women?! you either are o aren’t

i like lady gaga alot because i love the whole 80s feel she brings but shes nothing like katy perry and shes a little too much…i tihk she trying too hard.

Blahh | 5/27/2009, 12:27 pm EST

I think she is awesome, but deffinatetly doesn’t show off that she’s attractive in any way in this picture.

POP | 5/27/2009, 12:27 pm EST

SHE IS A LEGEND!

Lala | 5/27/2009, 12:28 pm EST

Jesus put some clothes on and sort ur hair out

Kutie | 5/27/2009, 12:29 pm EST

I freaking LOVE her. But I think that she doesn’t look good on the cover, too bad…

anon | 5/27/2009, 12:30 pm EST

i think shes great- attitude, music, but this pic of her is awful! :s

kerstyn | 5/27/2009, 12:32 pm EST

i love lady gaga but i don’t think this cover is really that good for her. she looks a little crazy

cher | 5/27/2009, 12:33 pm EST

she is like this alien pop princess sent to us to re-stylize and re-think what is fashion and what is pop music. she is so much more than any past pop girl before her….but i’m sure she’d take it as a compliment to be compared to christina aguilera. even though i totally disagree.

yo | 5/27/2009, 12:33 pm EST

se ve muy feaaa

HA! | 5/27/2009, 12:34 pm EST

FAMEWHORE.. all she does is a rip off from XTINA .. i wonder why RS do a cover for her.. it’s like another the hills cover.. r u lost all d quality control?????? where r d legendary magazine that always showcase people with talent and dedication to MUSIC!!!

Jay Sath, San Francisco | 5/27/2009, 12:35 pm EST

Well, her hit “Just Dance” has been on the Billboard Hot 100 for 43 weeks peaking at #1; “Poker Face” has been on the Hot 100 for 22 weeks peaking at #1; and now “Love Game” has been on the same chart for 5 weeks sitting pretty at #27 this week – that’s a 34 position jump up since last week.

So what’s with all this one-hit wonder talk?

girlbren | 5/27/2009, 12:38 pm EST

this photo is nasty. this is what they choose for the cover? she’s much more attractive than this but i think thats part of what she enjoys and wants to accentuate: being different, so whatevs! i love her album

tobi | 5/27/2009, 12:39 pm EST

i think she and her whole production team has been trying real hard to build this anti-idol out-of-norm-ness thing, and it proves to be quite successful since she either looks like she’s having fun or simply doesn’t care, though at the same time she was wearing weird futuristic costumes with orbits revolving around her head or some bizarre and grotestque french style dress, and howling with an amy-winehouse or cristina-aguilera throat.. well i guess sometimes customers are just bored with this cliche industry, and need some new stuff to chew on. she’s doing it good.

ryan | 5/27/2009, 12:39 pm EST

She’s so phenomenal.

seriously though people, she writes her own music, she’s a genius, she’s from new york, she’s sexy and stylish, what more can you ask for? she’s fun and sweet yet she still knows how to create an amazing record.

i think gaga is by far NOT****** a one hit wonder and is definitely a pop sensation that’s going to stay around. she’s amazingly artistic and innovative.

all of the haters may say she is just a “slut” or “an overnight star”, but she’s worked her way up from the new york underground since she was a teen to get where she is today. trust me, do your research, and you’ll discover how real and inspiring she is. she’s beautiful.

also, for those are: stop being so close-minded to her style, she’s daring and different and god dammit, if somebody’s willing to go that far these days in the public eye with no pants on in a sexy and creative outfit, then so be it. she’s fierce and out there and that’s what i love about her.

fff | 5/27/2009, 12:40 pm EST

se vefea no me gusta la foto

shakespeare | 5/27/2009, 12:42 pm EST

I’ll give her props because she did what no one else would in america. She took the most popular music in the world which is TECHNO, and made it popular with american audiences! For that I will say she is a genuis!

Anonymous | 5/27/2009, 12:43 pm EST

I totally disagree with everyone! Lady Gaga is a visionary. This cover is the pinnacle of high fashion. It is to the point were ordinary people do not understand its beauty. It is shot by one of the forerunners in fashion photography, David LaChapelle, and he has made magic. I think this is an amazing, surreal cover!!!

pantheR | 5/27/2009, 12:45 pm EST

keep going =)

ken | 5/27/2009, 12:47 pm EST

Obsessed! The gays for GAGA!

lol | 5/27/2009, 12:48 pm EST

well at least there is one person who always following christina aguilera footsteps.. well be it.. be the shadows kid.. get naked n dirrty

gustavo | 5/27/2009, 12:57 pm EST

her music is good n i like some stuff she wears. i don’t think shes out to please us all shes just out to please herself n if ppl like it on the way then good n if not o well!!

love the gaga!!!!

Tory | 5/27/2009, 12:59 pm EST

I love the way MM is trying to keep up, and cash it in on Lady GaGa.. that shit is priceless..
I wish she would leave a pair of her eyelashes on my beside table..

another piece of trash | 5/27/2009, 1:00 pm EST

wow, she has 3 hit singles!!
whoopty doo! that solidfies her as
an accomplished musician,
you fucking people on here are sheep, plain and simple….
just because she is a coked out whore bag slut doesn’t mean she is a talented slut

CLB | 5/27/2009, 1:04 pm EST

She sucks with ol those crap that they call ”pop” ….hello! her crap makes no sense + shes bi …pls choose 1 ….and now on RS…u’ve gotta be jokin ”JOKERFACE”

Listen to her music!!! | 5/27/2009, 1:05 pm EST

She taught herself to play piano at age 4, wrote her first ballad at age 13, she is a musical genius! And I have seen her live, she is spectacular, so all of you out there saying nasty things, do your homework and listen to her music before you shoot your mouths off….what were YOU doing at age 4, huh???? Certainly not anything substantial!

Tory | 5/27/2009, 1:06 pm EST

I always liked lady GaGa but to be honest, originaly I didn’t like how lady GaGa interviewed, because I got the vibe that she thought that she thought that she was ‘the shit’ but you know what, turns out she is the shit and way to go for faking it til your making it, now I feel like this RS cover doesnt do her justice, she looks like some so so model of some coture runway when her own style wud have had way more of an impact..

Joshua Miller | 5/27/2009, 1:06 pm EST

Gaga = ICONIC, I am glad Rolling Stone finally opened their eyes to the future love of music.

Mike | 5/27/2009, 1:06 pm EST

Christina Aguilera wishes she had an album as good as The Fame

CM | 5/27/2009, 1:07 pm EST

I don’t get why everyone’s making comparisons to Christina Aguilera. GaGa & X-Tina are both awesome, and totally different.

Though regarding her comments on being bisexual – ‘her attraction to women is purely physical’ – wtf does that even mean?

Tory | 5/27/2009, 1:17 pm EST

you know what these blogs are all the same, a shit load of useless fuckers that have nothing better to do than bag famous people and run them down.. Tonight is the first time I have bothered to comment on a page like this and its so pathetic, the mean and nasty comments made about the people that the blog is about, when hello there is a blog about this person, you are taking the time out to comment on it.. and then to say what, some shitty comments about how skanky/lame/overrated someone is.. when really they are more famous/important/highly rated than you.. you have got to be kidding me.. they are literally making money off you attention, even if its bad.. so who gets the last laugh, or pay cheque in most cases..

ew | 5/27/2009, 1:18 pm EST

i don’t like the hair and makeup. They could have made her look better. Shes quite ugly!

panormous | 5/27/2009, 1:18 pm EST

Carol Kane? Is that you?

80's music is the worst | 5/27/2009, 1:19 pm EST

wow, lady caca is re-creating an era of music whis is complete shit…
being successful in the music industry now requires that you be different, or coked out, or talentless, or a stripper, or dating a drummer, wow!! she is so awesome!!

doh! | 5/27/2009, 1:19 pm EST

bless u ms.aguilera JR .. hope u all d success cause u can’t just dance with one song..

francisco | 5/27/2009, 1:23 pm EST

es maravillosa bella ..la chica pop del momento sin dudas ..la amo just dance en la mejor

Ana | 5/27/2009, 1:26 pm EST

Folks, it’s not different than other artists who have used wigs and other props to invent themselves. It’s all for shock value. Lady GaGa is just a character that Joanne is portraying. She’s a beatiful girl underneath the wigs.

Left 4 Dead | 5/27/2009, 1:26 pm EST

I’m enthralled . . .can’t take my eyes off her . . . Have “Poker Face” on DVR; have to watch it with my morning coffee, lol. Her exit from the water in the lead in is spectacular!

Journey | 5/27/2009, 1:30 pm EST

Great cover choice. Lady Gaga is brilliant. She’s a popstar who is bold and not hiding behind fake bullsh*t- shes letting you know from the get-go that she wants the fame, money and all that comes with it and doing so with kick-ass music.

I can’t hate…I just can’t.

Emmy | 5/27/2009, 1:31 pm EST

I, for one, am completely excited to see Gaga on the cover. She makes pop music but she set out to make pop music so she decided to pull the lever all the way and go all out. All of her songs are so much fun!

chip love | 5/27/2009, 1:31 pm EST

fuck this shit! fuck you rolling stone!!!!! you’re magazine is total shit. pure fucking garbage. this talentless twit you stuck fucked on the cover is useless. i hate your entire bullshit staff of fucking fucks! your editorial staff are a gang of morons. your magazine is beyond worthless now. it’s sucked for years. i hope you this bullshit goes bankrupt. the whole bullshit operation: rolling stone, mtv, perez hilton, american idol…all this fucking bullshit. THIS IS NOT WHAT ELVIS DIED FOR!!!! FUCK YOU ROLLINGSTONE YOU FUCKING PUSSIES!!! LADDY GAG GAG SUCKS A DICK TOO!! FUCK OFF FOREVER!

D A N N Y. | 5/27/2009, 1:32 pm EST

lady gaga is well good, but tbqh on this picture she looks an absoloute mess, her hair looks fucking VILE.

teekay | 5/27/2009, 1:35 pm EST

I find nothing similar to Christina. Ms. Aguilar is known for her incredible vocals…Gaga is known for just being incredible. The Fame is an awesome piece of work ~ I’m pretty much at the point of being obsessed with it. I wake up singing the songs and listen to it as loud as possible on my commute. If you think what she has released already is the shit wait til you hear Beautiful, Dirty, Rich…… Bang Bang Bang!!

atraio catharsis | 5/27/2009, 1:36 pm EST

Ppl do ur research, she is no man and she is def no one hit pop wonder. Gaga has talent and has been working her whole life till this point xtina is another sell bitch owned by her label, gaga earned everything, she is very talented, she wites and produces her own muic, how many pop or any kind of musicianss do that nows days! She has a best selling album 3 hit singles and one underground single, and im sure more to come! Gaga is smart fashion wise and pop wise. We need more ppl to break the mold and gaga is doing it.

AB | 5/27/2009, 1:40 pm EST

Um, isn’t her 15 minutes about up yet?

First, enough with calling her Gaga – it’s just plain silly.

Second, she has one album of half-baked club tunes out and people are calling her iconic? That’s as laughable as that turd from Fall Out Boy comparing Kanye to Prince.

Let’s see where she is in 5 years – my guess is porn, the drive-through, or some stupid reality show for “celebrities” that never were.

bucket of yuck | 5/27/2009, 1:42 pm EST

I didn’t know Dee Snider was making a comeback!

Nicole | 5/27/2009, 1:42 pm EST

Love Lady Gaga…She is amazing live…

Corinne | 5/27/2009, 1:43 pm EST

She is a cheap cabaret act when most young people in this society can’t afford large ticket prices. Main reason she is covered kids. And to the gays: her ridiculous remark about only liking women physically means she has had limited experience, and thinks women are objects. Looking like a drag Bette Midler and saying this homophobic crap is rich.

Genius/Prodigy peeps: ANY child put in front of a baby grand piano will try to play. And yeah, they will do it by ear. Doesn’t mean they are a “genius”. She has had her backside wiped all her life.

Fashion: Knock off of a 2007 couture dress on this cover, or Bette Midler’s nightmare sequence from “The Rose”….

Bottom Line: Ms Whomever gets alot of attention because she is cheap….literally. People in this day and age don’t have alot of money to see better or more popular acts. Ms Aquilera seems like a visionary genius compared to this one. But she will tour when it is more economically viable.

David LaChapelle…..dissed Madonna old school style and is not loved as he once was….except by Courtney Love.

Only positive thing I can say is Marilyn Manson is numbing her brain even more and laughing about it. Go Marilyn! Clever guy. Very clever guy.

An insult to the senses. An insult to humanity. An insult to the gay community.

But you like her Walmart and Nascar ads, now don’t ya? YEEEHAW!

Love GaGa | 5/27/2009, 1:44 pm EST

Shes The Best
I Loved The Picture¡
She was never a man¡
Lady GaGa i Love u

hmm85 | 5/27/2009, 1:45 pm EST

is this out today?? I want to pick up a copy..

Cara | 5/27/2009, 1:51 pm EST

She was on crack years ago you jerks. She’s better then Christina, who was still brilliant and a music favourite, so being compared to her is nothing bad.
There will always be people who dislike music, even if it is brilliant, and there will always be those who understand what real music is and defend it to the end.
Get off your high horses and smile, you wenches.

think | 5/27/2009, 1:51 pm EST

I GUESS THE ONLY REASON HER NAME IS PUT ON THE MAP BECAUSE OF MS.CHRISTINA AGUILERA… N ABOUT D RESEARCH..WHO CARES.. HER SONGS IS NOT THE KIND THAT LAST FOREVER.. IS JUST FOR SOME PHASE OF TIME AND GONE.. LISTEN TO BEAUTIFUL TO BE COMPARE TO JUST DANCE… GIRLFRIEND N GAYS PLEASEEEEEEEE…..

Nick | 5/27/2009, 1:52 pm EST

That poor girl is fugly. No wonder she has to show off her body all the time, anything to take attention away from her ugliness. She looks like Jerry Seinfeld’s daughter.

There’s nothing wrong with being an ugly musician, hell this magazine was named after a whole band of them. But when you’re selling sex with your mediocre Euro-pop dance music, you should look into getting a nosejob.

what | 5/27/2009, 1:53 pm EST

C’mon Rolling Stone. You guys need to get your stuff together. First The Hills, and Gossip Girl covers, now a chick who has only had a couple of hits? Let’s get back to some real music, not people who like to do their best Christina Aguilera impression.

Nick | 5/27/2009, 1:55 pm EST

Actually, after posting that and looking at the cover again, I think she looks exactly like an uglier Nancy Spungen.

False Prophet | 5/27/2009, 1:58 pm EST

Haha, nice. I’m glad Manson has a new coke buddy. Seriously, she could really learn from him. She has potential, despite what anyone says. Look at Manson, he is more successful than ANYONE posting here. And Gaga is already on her way, with the influence from an artist like Manson she could really be the next big thing.

Oh, and as far as the bisexual part goes, its being attracted to two different things sexually. Pan sexual has no constraints however, she likes pussy and dick, so what? :/

LVbook20 | 5/27/2009, 2:00 pm EST

First off, for those who say she’s a man. U are plain ridiculous. read up on her biography. I’m sure if you were a man or woman, you wouldn’t want other ppl to call you differently. For those who say it’s only her first cd, why call her iconic. Hells yea it’s her first and look at the chaos she is causing! She will do great wonders in this world. Imagine how her second one will go if her first is already stirring up the industry. Get it together ppl, rock with it or get out the way.

LVbook20 | 5/27/2009, 2:06 pm EST

…and ppl,stop judging her sexuality. you are who you are. the world is in turmoil because of the idiocy in this society. no matter what ppl do nowadays, they get slammed. Deny being gay…slam. being gay…slam.

perusse | 5/27/2009, 2:07 pm EST

why is that no one says anything about how she is jacking dale bozzio’s steeze?

steph | 5/27/2009, 2:10 pm EST

I am a huge fan of Lady GaG, However, I dislike this picture of her, it doesn’t even look like her at all!!

billyart101 | 5/27/2009, 2:10 pm EST

Me thinks Pokerface is playing at the gates of hell.
I don’t find GagGag likeable at all. She seems like a sad, empty shell. It’s insulting to Christina Aguilera to compare her to this troglodyte.
I just hope the RS article acknowledges the fact that Gagtard owes all of her fame to Xtina.

The Prince. | 5/27/2009, 2:15 pm EST

I love Gaga. She looks great, and even though looks arent everything, she’s got talent.

Shelly | 5/27/2009, 2:17 pm EST

Love Lady Gaga. She is a true artist that writes her own music. You’re not a true artist unless you can do that. She also makes alot of her own outfits. Tell me…can you do all of that? She is very talented.

Sandra | 5/27/2009, 2:31 pm EST

I’m not too much a fan of this cover, but anyone know where i can get pictures of the shoot?

SHE IS NOT AN ARTIST | 5/27/2009, 2:33 pm EST

she is not an artist, wow she writes her own music, that would make a difference if her fucking music she wrote was any good,
this is trash, and so are the fans of this trash, you people are the reason Bush was elected twice…
fucking sheep

this is talent? | 5/27/2009, 2:35 pm EST

geez, i guess anything can be called “talent”, especially when her fans are fucking morons as well

Gina Montana | 5/27/2009, 2:37 pm EST

Er, she’s great ’cause she writes her own music? I thought one would be considered great if they wrote good, memorable music. Not songs sung by toddlers about riding a stick. How creative!

Every outfit she wears is a copy of a couture dress. This bubble dress is a knock off of a 2007 couture dress.

Also, she did not struggle. Part of the romantic story of the rock musician is that they came from nowhere to become someone.

She has no audience except toddlers, and now she has again insulted gays by saying she can only find women “physically” attractive. Something Britney might be asked to say.

Every dog has its day.

Fab. | 5/27/2009, 2:49 pm EST

I think she is awesome..
but the photes in the videos are cuter than on the cover.. that one is omg XD not nice

Look at all the completely clueless commenting on trends, fashion, beauty, ugliness, music and other topics they have no knowledge of or haven’t lived long enough to even have a valid opinion on.

Just keep up the bashing of “Lady Gaga” in your immature and uninformed manner and continuously prove just how backwards and unexperienced in life you are.

This young woman is making a name for herself. She’s making her way through all the hurdles in the entertainment world and she’s coming out on top.

You’re all just so jealous of this woman because you don’t have any of the sought-after traits she has. Talent, intelligence, drive, pop-sense, etc.

Keep spouting useless crap on blogs instead of creating something original. Keep bashing those who think outside the box and hide behind your little keyboard instead.

I’m no fan of pop or pop-culture but I see a rising star in Lady Gaga and, obviously, so does Rolling Stone and a lot of other people more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff than you haters.

Just give it a rest. Go create something new and original instead.

SHE JUST LANDED ROLLING STONE AND YOUR SITTING AT HOME BEING A LOSER!

teekay | 5/27/2009, 4:09 pm EST

Gina M ~ please reread the article. What she said was her attraction to women is only physical ~ meaning she likes to be with women but doesn’t want a relationship with one. I cannot see how that is insulting to anyone. What is the matter with wanting the best of both worlds??

samantha | 5/27/2009, 4:13 pm EST

i cant get over how people find the time to make fun of her? if u hate her that much, why waste your time writing about her? n im pretty sure with pants like plastic, theres no dick there people. shes something new and exciting, giver a break.

Rixxy | 5/27/2009, 4:34 pm EST

Wow. I can’t even believe people are comparing her to Christina. They have completely different physical styles. And about being ugly: Since when is it a requirement to be physically attractive to have talent? She has talent. Just listen to one of her acoustic sets. And she’s got soul.

Stuff it, haters.

Muah | 5/27/2009, 4:45 pm EST

hey andrea get over yourself Christina has gotten places and has had several RS covers 2 no.1 albums and numerous no.1 singles.I like Gaga but shes miles away from being better than Christina and doesnt have the vocal chops either altho she is a good singer.

Gina Montana | 5/27/2009, 4:54 pm EST

See, this is what a Lady Gaga dominated culture blurs: the lack of distinction between criticism and hatred. I do not wish Ms Germanotta any personal ill will.

However, her appropriation of designer’s clothing that people insist are “hers” (the bubbles), her bizarre contention that she is creating a Warholian factory (did she read that he was the puppetmaster, not the main show? Does she know The Velvet Underground?) Indeed, the true quest of Lady Whatever is only for a reified image of herself that you children “defend”…as art? Great, she is the Nancy Spungeon you all deserve. Shock revelation: she has complete contempt for you “fans”, children, and will lose you after she has used you.

That took me about 30 seconds to type. When children just out of diapers are the barometer for talent, you get Lady Gaga. She is no David Bowie. She will never be David Bowie. He wrote songs with great lyrics. “Ziggy” sounds much fresher than “MakeMeFAMOUSchildren” ever will…he liked making music.

If you don’t know your history, you don’t see your destiny. Keep going along with the program. She loves the gays yet does adverts for Walmart. She cares about music yet her most famous “song” is about gettting drunk. There is no passion for anything in her work.
Except your dollars.

Enjoy! Back to my art, which is not for toddlers.

Aa Lady Gaga said:
“You know what capitalism is?”
But she just smiled knowingly after the question. You didn’t understand it.

Oh, and teekay, that means just liking a gender physically objectifies them, that is why it is sexist and homophobic, mkay?

Now on to my gig.

RAD | 5/27/2009, 4:56 pm EST

I read a comment from an individual who is obviously disappointed in some of Rolling Stone’s cover choices i.e. The Hills, Gossip Girl, Lady GaGa. Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t Rolling Stone become the pinnacle of pop culture over the years!? So to fault them for including current pop culture icons such as (GASPS!!!) that latter named examples is completely contradictory! Get over it guys!! Besides if you don’t like her, don’t listen to her!!! It truly is that simple! ;o)

TylerAustin | 5/27/2009, 5:01 pm EST

Black Hole Sun | 5/27/2009, 5:10 pm EST

Wow… no wonder people are saying RS is utter crap these days… Lady Gaga? Seriously? She may be (slightly) more talented than Katy Perry, but I don’t see much of a difference between the two. If anything, Lady Gaga is trashier and tackier. Her music isn’t as good as they make it out to be. Just a bunch of stupid, techno songs with no real value. For someone who’s as talented as they say she is, why is she wasting it all away on bad music?

bopper | 5/27/2009, 5:48 pm EST

I love Lady GAGA! If anything, she has her originality and uniqueness going for her unlike most recent stars that have come out of the woodwork. Since when when did Britney spears become an original icon aside from the fact that she was kinda hoe-like as a teen?? And Katy Perry? I like her but she wearing stuff that’s getting out of style. That gig is old, girl. Anyway, I appreciate Lady gaga for her originality if not for her dedication to pop art and self-expression.

sophie spectacular | 5/27/2009, 5:50 pm EST

Ok first of all I would not compare katy perry and christinia aguilara with lady gaga they’re my fave pop stars!Ladygaga out of all of her songs I only like 2 just dance and pokerface! But christina and katy I love all of their songs so who I think that’s not the cutest and is not ever going to be a pop princesss is lady gaga! All said tata goodbye!

who she foolin | 5/27/2009, 6:01 pm EST

Her first and probably only time she’ll ever be on the cover of Rolling Stone and this is what she come up with—a see-through plastic bubble dress (or whatever you call that contraption she’s wearing), poofy fried hair and a pink bubble background. How innovative of her.

mrBilly | 5/27/2009, 6:04 pm EST

if you guys dont like her so much
why do you take time out of your day
to comment an article on her &
futher more if she couldnt sing she
wouldn’t have a record deal &
tons of fans , like me
she is relevant
so if you are like 30….or dont like electro-pop
dont judge her music & say its bad
because you personally dont like it.

gaga is the best!

by the way im 14.

I love her sooo much and her music that I wanna stab myself in the eye lmao! If I were her age I enough I would marry her I think lmao :D Plus I lvoe Katy as well but not as much and Christina is actually taking her “new” image from Gaga so yeah :D

Spongecake | 5/27/2009, 6:21 pm EST

Fuck you Rolling Stone. My guess as to how they come up with cover stories: Throw 10 strips of paper in a box. Three of them say Bruce Springsteen and three of them say Bob Dylan. The other four are the flavors of the week that will make absolutely no impact (at least of any importance) on music or culture. I can’t wait until I can read about someone who writes their own music and has any sort talent – not just a sexy or shocking look.

ANON | 5/27/2009, 6:22 pm EST

Of all the pictures I’m sure they shot that day, couldn’t they have picked a better one?? This is by far the worse pic of her that I’ve ever seen. WTF!

Gaga is on minute 14 of her 15 minutes. she will be forgotten by the end of the year…guaranteed

gaga4GaGa | 5/27/2009, 6:27 pm EST

For those of you criticizing her, just give it a rest. All your pejurative nonsense just shows how truly cupiditous you are of her. And for those of you saying that gaga is in no way artistic, just fuck off. Do you even know what art is? It’s self expression. You can’t be the judge of what is and is not art. When you judge you just annihilate everything.
Obviously she’s a good artist if she already has 3 singles. Get over it. People like her.
And for those of you who say she’s had everything handed to her and she’s had “her ass wiped for her” her entire life, get over your pathetic selves. She worked for and has deserved every good thing that she has acomplished. You people sicken me with the way you hate. Gaga is personally by idol. She is quirky and fresh, beautiful and artistic, and she obviously knows how to run things.
Get on with your proletariat low-brow lives.
Gaga is on the cover. Deal.

I love you lady gaga!!!

hey gaga4gaga, try making a comment without a thesaurus next time. and if you feel the need to write online comments using such florid prose, at least take the time to learn what your words mean.

wow, she has 3 hit singles! | 5/27/2009, 7:06 pm EST

yeah.... | 5/27/2009, 7:08 pm EST

I have to agree with ANON. this picture does not flatter her figure very well…. that said, one COULD interpret that as her rebelling against the stereotypical idea of what is considered attractive by mainstream standards, but i’m more inclined to go with Occam’s razor on this one and suggest that this was just a really horrible photograph.

stupidity | 5/27/2009, 7:09 pm EST

and if art is whatever a person wants to make it, then a big pile of feces on Lady Gaga’s head would be considered art as well,

dumb comments

peaches | 5/27/2009, 7:21 pm EST

lady gaga is amazing at what she does, she’s consistant. and when people say she doesnt compare to christina aguilera it annoys me because lady gaga never mimes her songs. she has true talent(:
also, i knew it wouldnt be long untill she said she was a bisexual haha, awh but she’s so cute and lovely. i cant wait to see her in concert! eeeeek(:

distpidskank | 5/27/2009, 7:28 pm EST

shes such an awesome artist its kinda ridiculous! :]
and to all the people that claim to ‘hate her’. why do you look at websites with her on it? just to complain and tell everyone that you dont like her? wow get a life. i dont go looking for jonas brothers crap just to write about my hatred towards them. common now.

E | 5/27/2009, 7:38 pm EST

If you listen to her she says that she isnt taking credit for designing her outfits, they’re interpretations of already existing designs.
Also she can sing. It may not be shown in her album on the face of it, but ive seen her live and listened to her acoustic and its pretty damn good!
Since when is it not ok to write a song just for it sounding good or getting people up and moving, it doesnt always have to be about what they’re feeeling…nothing gets a heavy night going better than a bit of lady gaga.

give her a break, she’s trying to change pop and that’s what she’s doing, cos you’ve got to admit it, she’s definately making it more interesting, even if just through controversy. i can see staying power in her, but only time will tell…

`;-Mojj-;` | 5/27/2009, 7:38 pm EST

Lady Gaga is ah-mazzing !
As if she will be forgotton .
My friend’s mom , whos like 44 ,

I love the outfit that she is wearing in this shoot ,
she is a goergeos woman ,
whom I look up to .
she’s sexy and everything
that I want to be .
She will be there all the time ,
making the best musice , the
songs that our parents and teachers will be sining and saying are good !

FunkyMF | 5/27/2009, 7:47 pm EST

When I saw Lady Gaga at Lollapalooza a couple years she was pretty funky and I liked her songs a lot, like “blueberry kisses”. It was almost like Vanity 6. Then when her album came out, it didn’t have any of the songs she performed and it was all poppy radio shit. I like the older songs. Maybe she sold her soul for a deal?

uma | 5/27/2009, 7:48 pm EST

If Britney Spears could be on the cover of RS numerous times, why can’t Lady GaGa? At least she’s more talented than Brit.

Vee | 5/27/2009, 7:49 pm EST

Spongecake: Lady Gaga does write her own songs, and she’s written songs for other artists as well.

Everyone giving nasty comments has a huge bashing problem. It doesn’t even matter who the artist is, people just love to bash. “he/she has no talent, they suck, i hate him/her, what a waste, etc.” If you don’t like a person whom you don’t know personally or because of their music, then ignore them. But in the end you’re giving them the attention that makes them famous, so they win. :/

Mister Plainview | 5/27/2009, 7:54 pm EST

Wow…does anybody actually take this magazine seriously anymore? Anybody can get on the cover of their magazine. People will think anything is “talent” these days. Sad

Her | 5/27/2009, 7:57 pm EST

I don’t understand why people are complaining about Lady GaGa being “mainstream” and “pop”…when she herself has said that she is embracing pop culture. I also don’t see what she has to do with Christina Aguilera. The only similarities are maybe that they have similar voice talent and look a little alike. While I agree that the cover isn’t the most flattering, I must say that I am happy to see how far she’s made it. She deserves all that she has earned, can’t blame her for knowing the business. :D

I used to remember the RS cover was reserved for people who were actually interesting. What happened to that?

... | 5/27/2009, 8:50 pm EST

This chick tries too hard and takes herself way too seriously. But at the same time, there is something intriguing about a performer who has such a polarizing effect on the audience. As for her music, meh – and that’s something that no amount of pantlessness can fix.

Goo Goo 4 Ga Ga | 5/27/2009, 9:04 pm EST

All you haters need to shut your lipz! Ga Ga is our ages Madonna. Eww the old Madonna is like 64 or something…grooooss. Lady Ga Ga is so talented that I would seriously blow a bum just to see her in concert. OMG

Don | 5/27/2009, 9:09 pm EST

Yeah, the pic is bad but Gaga is the news and is working hard with music and fashion. You gotta respect someone who is doing something with her fame instead of just “wasting” it away doing nothing but getting high.

MrB | 5/27/2009, 9:18 pm EST

Hey! She’s got a really nice ass! And great legs and great calves! Big and thick, just as I love it! My kinda chick!

Poker Face is OK. Not my type of music, not much into pop. But won’t get too bored listening to it. She’s got a decent voice.

She gets a thumbs up.

Mark | 5/27/2009, 9:34 pm EST

So few of you know what is coming…she is filling a massive entertainment vacuum when so many people need fun-filled pop music with an iconic figure who has some character.

If she can come up with another album even close to The Fame, she could rival Madonna’s legendary status someday.

the g | 5/27/2009, 9:36 pm EST

I personally love Lady Gaga and follow her intensely! Her personality completely fascinates me. And her recent shows are beyond terrific (on Ellen Degerenes -sp? – and on Dance with the Stars). Lady Gaga is the most intelligent performer out there!

Like Madonna before her, Lady Blahblah would set a new standard for mindnumbingly average, if only she were even that. What she is is proof that ugly girls can use Auto-Tune too.

Sober Blues | 5/27/2009, 10:45 pm EST

Oh great, now each time I go on the RS website, I’ll be forced to look at that stupid cover, every time I enter a pharmacy or a bookstore and I inevitably swing by the magazine section, that ugly face will be staring at me. Is Rolling Stone trying to deliberately put itself into bankruptcy? Cause I wouldn’t blame people for canceling their subscriptions as a result of this. A dog would have been a more respectable choice for a cover story.

You know you love her! | 5/27/2009, 10:47 pm EST

If you’re even looking at this, u know u love Gaga, come on – She’s quite talented and right on with the bisexuality comments, many of us can relate to that!

Ow My Balls! | 5/27/2009, 10:54 pm EST

Larry here | 5/27/2009, 11:09 pm EST

Woo I have no idea who dis broud is, but that picture is fucking trippin me out. It looks like a nightmare I once had where I was getting chased by bubbles the zombie stripper.

Ed | 5/27/2009, 11:24 pm EST

I agree with some of these people’s comments on this article. Yet I understand everyone has their own right to an opionion (regarding the offencive ones..)

What I don’t understand is the fact that half of the people that enjoy bringing her down for her own work, Sure she has influences and a fashion sense that has been seen with some celebrities else where, but she’s a colaboration of the old and the new. I think her out fits are pretty funky and definately retro in some aspects. In my personal opinion I don’t really like the cover, but she definately deserves to be there. & what I don’t think people understand is that Rolling Stone magazine isn’t just your specific hardcore rock n’ roll mag , or any other genre. It’s basicly the Popular Culture magazine, showing people today, the controversial things and classics like AC/DC etc . Yes I have a bias in this because I love GaGa’s work but what half of you need to realise is that things like these covers of whoever are going to happen, and really there isn’t much you can do about. If you don’t enjoy what you see pick up another magazine and read that then. . and if it’s your favourite magazine and your just disappointed in the cover then just ignore or tolerate, would it be that hard to just think “ah well it’s just some person I don’t like I’ll get over it’.. ?

Lady GaGa’s singing ability is actually great, yeah it sounds a bit weird live sometimes but give her some empathy, would it be that easy to sing in front of thousands of people when you orginally sang it in a studio that you were so comfortable in ? I imagine it’s not and really it’s great to hear some variation in her voice showing that she’s not so covered and ‘the same’ when she performs live. She’s a great crowd lifter and really interesting. She’s uplifting and original in my opinion.
Her songs do have meaning, they have a fair bit of hidden meanings under the ‘in your head lyrics’. I think one person said to review her history to see her drive and ambition and I think that’s a fair call there, in the past she was exposed to alot I think, apparently she was a stripper and a big time party goer along with the drugs. . . but can you honestly tell me what person at that age or before hasn’t been exposed to that ? she lived in New York City, and half of her songs are about the red light districts or getting with guys or girls or getting crunk & relationships. But so what, it’s enjoyable and great to listen to. She’s got the drive and determination to change alot of things and she already is doing exactly that.
And this is the part which I think is really unco . . why on earth would you question her ability and popularity with her long she’ll last ? sure we’ve had a bunch of one hit wonders and people that don’t last long, but Lady GaGa is indeed like Christina or Madonna in the fact that she has the ability to stamp her name and doings in pop culture and pop music. They re-invent themselves and bring something new to the world, yeah sometimes we don’t like it but sometimes we love it and GaGa has hit it this time. I’m sure there is many many bands in other genres that didn’t last long but I’m also sure that it’d be nice to give GaGa the chance to make something of herself and she is doing that, and doing it proud.

The issue about her sexuality is a hard one but I think there’s some sense with her point there. I think it’s great that she’s given the gay community an icon, they have heaps but someone so revolutionary like GaGa is something that is confidence driven for them. The statement about being bisexual from what I get from it is that she doesn’t treat girls like objects , yeah it sounds like that but it’s not. It’s a physical attraction of the body and gender for instance she likes maybe their bodies but she couldn’t see herself being in a relationship with a girl, but is attracted to both genders but finds being with a guy more suitable for herself , I don’t know that but I’m sure thats a way it could be put.
Look I don’t clame to know everything about her but I really like GaGa, I think she’s got something going for her, and it’s fine if you disagree but just keep it to yourself, or voice it but don’t go crazy about it, the simple “I don’t really like her outfits.. they’re a bit weird ” could do, not something like “Lady GaGa is some crazy plastic fake bimbo who sucks” it’s just unnecessary and rude.
I may only be fifteen but the way some people act on blogs in really immature and retarded. be civil guys and respect everyone’s opinions and maybe you won’t have all the hate comments agaisnt each other..

“Just Dance, gonna be okay”

ironpig | 5/27/2009, 11:59 pm EST

wow people on here sure r mean. Thats y u all should b happy that there r different types of music. I think her music is catchy and makes me want 2 shake it. And as far as her being on drugs, i hate to think of all the music we would miss out on if people didnt do drugs.i.e. most of the music from the 60’s and 70’s. And face it, if we could all do what she does and get the amount of money she does we would all be doing it.

Amanda | 5/28/2009, 12:03 am EST

I get it: RS has the duty to cover all relevant artists, even if they’re gratuitous, dress like a crack whore and have no sense of style. I will give her this, though, she puts out a mean radio hit, and she probably will stick around for a while. Despite my negative thoughts of her character, I always feel the need to “Just Dance.”
On the upside, Brian Hiatt is the real deal, and I look forward to seeing him go Gaga for this girl.

a1 | 5/28/2009, 12:36 am EST

Lady Gaga is POP 2009!!
she is pop music and noone cant touch her!!
you go girl!!
she already is 2009’s icon!

The Intl | 5/28/2009, 12:55 am EST

Another example of style over content. Congrats, Rolling Stone, you’re reputation remains intact. Add this to the rest of the bullshit you cover.

a cross between side show bob and well…side show bob

Jordan | 5/28/2009, 1:31 am EST

I truly love Lady Gaga. I love everything she stands for, and her music is sick!
But I’m sorry, I’m just not feeling this picture that was chosen for the cover. Her fried hair killed it for me.

Oh really? | 5/28/2009, 2:37 am EST

If Rolling Stone’s about talent, why don’t they put someone who actually makes GOOD music? Yeah, Gaga can sing live and play the piano and write her own songs… so can plenty of other artists, who do it 100 times better than her, mind you. Yet they are virtually ignored by the mainstream press, or at the most, given minute amounts of attention. Only if they sell a million records or wear tacky, ridiculous outfits and do outrageous antics can Rolling Stone consider giving them a platform.

Andrew | 5/28/2009, 2:58 am EST

I like it. The cover reminds me of Goldfrapp, but I can’t picture Alison wearing bubbles. Then again, I never thought of anyone wearing bubbles?

stunning cover – LADY GAGA is awesome and an extra breathe of fresh air to popmusic – we live in a world where we require music that makes us feel good and happy …LADY GAGA has got it all just like MADONNA & BRITNEY,KYLIE & CHER ..welcome LADY GAGA …bless your soul..keep it together..we enjoy ure creativity and enthusiasm …many blessings ..pop lives on..

Lady GaGa is just the new Queen of Pop (that’s my opinion).. I think she’s really, really doing a great awesome job! And I love her, no matter what.. personal.. I’d always be there to help her!

Apparently none of you are old enough to rememeber…Toni Bozzio or Wendy O Williams.
Both who rocked this look much harder than this wannabe…her hair looks like a dandelion that should be set aflame…

Woooooohoooooooooo, I love this girl, and no one can say any different, to change my opinion.

My girls love her too, and we are all off to see her in July, so, Go Girl, we love you xxx

GagGag | 5/28/2009, 9:45 am EST

That would be Dale Bozzio. Lady Gag Gag is the latest product for marketing. She has no unique talent and it’s all been done before. Gag indeed.

BillyClub | 5/28/2009, 9:48 am EST

Read the last paragraph in bold type for her impressive accomplishments prior to her media-fired popularity. Mostly flash and shock with little substance.

Thank you ironpig for your totally pointless and lame impersonation of Prince. And to subscriber @ 12:58, well said!

Red&Blue | 5/28/2009, 9:58 am EST

I see the haters of her are making themself an army of comments saying crap that will never be read by her.
Not like the comments are bursting her bubble (ahaha) or lowering her confidence.
Fair enough everybody has their own opinions, but saying crap about hers not really worth anything. People express themselfs in all ways anyway, Gaga just happened to be someone who she didnt want to be for a fraction of her life, now shes came out confident as ever. :>
But yeah this isnt the best picture in the universe of her but admire the content.

Regardless of whether people like Lady Gaga and her music, you can not deny she has talent. Just watch any of her live performances. The dedication is astounding, and she has an amazing voice – whether you like it or not is different. Doesn’t stop her from being as talented as she is.

SHE IS NOT INNOVATIVE BY ANY MEANS,
SHE IS BASICALLY RECYCLED POP THAT NEEDS TO GO AWAY FOR GOOD

it never fails that trashy sluts are the most famous “in music” at the moment, this woman or man, or whatever this thing is won’t be around for long, she will eventually fade away like most trash will often do

rndrc | 5/28/2009, 11:51 am EST

I am so glad to see people remembering Dale Bozzio and Wendy O. Williams; lady gaga is a compltete clone/rip off of these two truly original artists; Music Execs as well as the lady herself are banking on a generation spoon fed whatever they are told is the next cool thing to not know about or being too young to remember Dale or Wendy. Not only did “video kill the radio star” but it also killed, in a large part, any new organically arising trends/artists in music; it’s all packaged just like,like, well everything else.

sfwlu4ever | 5/28/2009, 11:58 am EST

She has been achieving a phenomenal success in pop music with her matchless spellbinding talents. She can sense the heartbeats of music. So she can convey its inspiring energy to the hearts of people through her breathtaking piano, vocal artistry.

teekay | 5/28/2009, 11:59 am EST

Ed ~ I am standing on my chair applauding your post!! Wow! 15? You are going to go quite far in your life. Brilliant post.

Others try to exude intelligence but just come off as smug and arrogant. I just turned 40 this year and am certainly no child. I grew up loving all genres of music and listen to everything and anything. She is pushing buttons and obviously getting a response. I really don’t understand the comparisons to Christina….I do understand the ones to Dale Bozzio and one that I have yet to read…..Gwen Stefani. All of them are strong women who rock it out. She is in good company if she’s being compared to any of them.

Lady GaGA 4ever | 5/28/2009, 12:17 pm EST

Jeff C | 5/28/2009, 12:36 pm EST

A cover with Lady Gaga, Dave Mathews, and Jay Leno. Wow. Rolling Stone is sure on the cutting edge of music and pop culture.

thekay | 5/28/2009, 12:57 pm EST

i don’t really see the big deal about lady gaga (which is a ridiculous name); all of her songs sound exactly the same. it’s some bouncy electro beat with her stuttering out some lyrics to fill in the time. (p-p-p-pokerface, j-j-just dance, etc.) and the cover in all honesty scares me a little bit. i feel like she could be so much more attractive than that.
and as far as her being on the cover, yes i feel there are much better artists to profile, but hey, she’s popular right now, and RS will do what it takes and cover whoever they need to to sell issues. that’s just how it works.
not a big fan of gaga, but that’s just me.

Anonymous | 5/28/2009, 1:06 pm EST

HA some chick said lady gaga is “BETTER THEN CHRISTINA SHE GOT NOWHERE BUT GAGA GOT A COVER I THINK WE KNOW WHOS BETTER” do your homework. christina has had the cover 4 times, has been in the business since she was 13 and has won 5 grammys. and rolling stone even lists lady gaga as one of christina’s “followers”. theres no question who is better

DAKID | 5/28/2009, 1:08 pm EST

I think lady gaga is very multi talented! She deserves to be on rolling stone. Plus shes pretty & BISEXUAL. I love that. & id love to meet her someday. Great work Lovely GaGa!

DAKID | 5/28/2009, 1:10 pm EST

by the way , the shot is amazing! its very artistic and she looks beautiful anyone who thinks other wise is hating.

thekay | 5/28/2009, 1:17 pm EST

“anyone who thinks other wise is hating.”

everyone has their own opinions, Dakid, and some people may be hating true, but others, like myself aren’t hating, we just don’t particularly like this shot. as i said before, i think she’s much more attractive than this shot portrays. that’s all. i respect everyone else’s opinions, i would just like mine respected as well please. :)

I’m old. I look at the cover and start singing Queen’s “Radio Gaga.”

Mel | 5/28/2009, 2:30 pm EST

I think Lady GaGa is cool and I like that she writes her own music and sings live. However, I don’t get all the comparisons to Christina Aguilera, who has one of the best voices ever and also writes her own music. They look a little similar with the blonde hair, but that’s about it. It is like comparing apples to oranges and some of you sound really silly trying to write Christina off because of Lady GaGa. How absurd!! I enjoy many forms of music. Just because a new person comes along and does well, doesn’t mean you have to write others off. Christina has already proven herself in the industry and Lady G is still fairly new. Just enjoy the music and just dance!!

STEVENS BABY 4 EVER | 5/28/2009, 2:45 pm EST

Clay | 5/28/2009, 2:50 pm EST

dont tell her to put clothes on or change her hair people. she doesnt decide her outfit, the people of the magazine do. and if she did pick it out, it was intentional. it wasnt like she thought it actually looked good. no. it looks artistic and beautiful in that way that art looks beauitful. stop hating on her. i love her to death and she is my FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD! so fuck off if u dont like her. no one asked you bitches. GO GAGA!!!!!

Austin.tx | 5/28/2009, 2:57 pm EST

She has the sexiest voice especially when she talks to her fans in live performances…

She is revolutionary, you try weaaring some bubbles and see the ruckus you make, she’s getting and much more, if nothing at all she’s got your attetion.

um… yeah. Another magazine of yours, rolling stone, that I won’t be picking up from the magazine rack. Covers like this and what your magazine has become is exactly why I canceled my subscription a long time ago.

This chick’s got no talent and I think you guys know that. You just want to sell your magazine and putting a half naked chick on the cover will do just that. You may make your money, but don’t expect any respect.

You guys are past your prime.

sam | 5/28/2009, 4:06 pm EST

Blackout | 5/28/2009, 5:52 pm EST

I like some of Lady GaGa’s songs, but the more i see her, i realize she isn’t all that pretty or sexy, and nothing’s wrong with that, but if you want to be showing your body in public, it will be judged. The hype around her is too huge for me, i want to see if she can back up her debut album with something better, Ps. Most of the songs on The Fame sound the same!

That cover is so Christina Aguilera’s Inspire Perfume comercial xD MY GOSHH! Media is so hypocrite sometimes! mm always! The pink background with the bubble thing.. i mean David LaChapelle has to be more original sometimes, He used this theme for Christina’s fragance comercial! I love GAGAAAA so much, but when truth is truth, no more to say. I think Gaga has to be thakful with Christina.. She’s getting so much famous since the VMAs Christina’s performance.

TRUTH IS TRUTH!

What substance does she have in any of her songs? please recommend me one song of her’s that proposes the idea that she can think about anything but sex, drugs, being slutty, kissing, or any other mindless lyrical nonsense.

Lady GaGa is my life, i would die for you. Love you forever. =]

ktina | 5/29/2009, 3:06 am EST

wow really. Its either people love her or hate her. its ridiculous.
I am a fan. I think shes bringing a new face to pop culture cuz she is an artist that actually writes her songs. while people think its just about sex drugs and money. it is but she has hidden meanings to it. she has backbone to her lyrics. and even if she didn’t they rock at the club. she isn’t the most gorgeous person but who the f cares? she has a unique style and she isn’t so corperatized as other musicians. i think she’ll be here for a while.

anonymous | 5/29/2009, 3:24 am EST

okay I’m a fan of Lady Gaga and I regret saying this but love the bubbled outfit but her hair and make-up she looks like well I don’t know what to say……talk about make up catastrophe

dragqueen | 5/29/2009, 6:18 am EST

i dont think she needs to have deep meaning in her songs, they are fun and catchy, if i want something deep i will look outside of pop music.

weloveu4ever | 5/29/2009, 10:12 am EST

LADY GAGA and MADONNA hold family values before everything. This is what makes them icons..

GAGA = Object | 5/29/2009, 2:49 pm EST

Does anyone actually listen to her lyrics? Her new single “Love Game” is possible the most retarded piece of shit I’ve ever heard, and these jokes are calling her a legend?? Congrats, you write you’re own lyrics (and they’re aweful).

It would be one thing to say that she’s “fun to dance to…” but to call her a genius musician is a disgrace to music.

“Let’s have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” … A three year old could be more innovative

anon. | 5/29/2009, 4:21 pm EST

I’m not liking her makeup or hair at all on the cover – could have done better, it’s disappointing. I like her music, though; it’s super catchy. People are dumb to look for depth in a pop artist’s music and bash her for having “no depth”…

And really, only time will tell if she’s forgettable or not. No use signing her off now, her album was only first released in August. :/

If you hate her, then don’t spend precious time on the internet looking at her pictures and commenting about them. Don’t you have better things to do? -__-;;

paradise_guardian | 5/30/2009, 12:08 am EST

Well, her music is catchy enough and she has got a unique sense in high fashion. She is promising but don’t know how far she can really go. That’s why probably her second album,will tell whether she’s a one-hit wonder or a long run star.

Neudeity | 5/30/2009, 12:58 am EST

hahaha….everyone on here should let it go and enjoy it for what it is. I bet at least half of the people that say she is ugly don’t even like their own reflection let alone can appreciate the fact that she is the one with a fat bank account… Why waste that energy hating and start thinking of a way to make your own random style and songs and see if you can get on the cover?

JSUN | 5/30/2009, 5:25 am EST

The funny thing no one gets is that she is sitting at home with the rolling stone laughing at how ridiculous she looks. She knows she does, that’s why she does it, to get us talking and interested in her. She’s a lot smarter than people think, NYU graduate and classically trained pianist since age 4. She’s not only playing the game well, she’s inventing a new one.

ehhh | 5/30/2009, 12:30 pm EST

shes an idiot

Aaron | 5/30/2009, 9:48 pm EST

I love how people call her talentless and ask to see her play an instrument. If they’d take twelve seconds and think before they’d speak, they could so easily find multiple videos of her playing the piano and singing. Her voice is beautiful and she writes her own songs. It’s dance/pop! How deep do you want the lyrics to be?
Yes, and she is out there rolling in her success. So people that run around screaming, “SLUT! BITCH! HOOKER!” have nothing on her. By the way, since when was beauty the only thing people cared about? You bunch of shallow, ignorant, close-minded idiots…

ewwwwwwww! | 5/30/2009, 9:52 pm EST

SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE OF DENIAL LADY GAGA LOVERS, BUT SHES A FAKE HO.
is it just me, or is she a TOTAL RIP OFF OF DAVID BOWIE?!?! glam, crazy clothes, BISEXUAL. you people who love her are such idiots. her music is crappy and it all sounds the same. if you want to love a totally crazy, arty, andy warhole shock value bisexual artist, listen to david bowie. he actually plays music. and if you like gaga, without him, she wouldnt be here.
and anyway, her music is crap. herlive performances..theyre shit. she would still be a nobody if it wasnt for synthesisers and studio editing.
and she is NOT original, like i said, her glitter-lightning bolt-style is DAVID BOWIE and everything else (the skimpyness, the walking through london in winter in just a bra…) its isnt ORIGINAL to freeze to death like that, its slutty and its playboy.
And rolling stone, im sure you know shes crap, you know about music…why are you butchering your music magazine with this stuff? its not music, its fake.
take this ho out of the ‘music’ industry.

ewwwwwwww! | 5/30/2009, 10:07 pm EST

and if her outfits were still as “original” and “weird” but covered her up more, then she wouldnt be where she is now.

KATE | 5/30/2009, 10:24 pm EST

oh sure, go delete my comment! but maybe it was off topic, s ill say something about lady gaga..
shes a TALENTLESS MEDIA WHORE!

bootyboot | 5/30/2009, 10:49 pm EST

she’s very affected isn’t she. and for someone so new to the music scene, she needs to be careful about referring to herself as an artist, icon, legend, whatever. people don’t like stars who are outwardly conceited and meglomaniacal. she is ridiculous, but not ridiculous in a creative, interesting new way, she’s just borrowing references from Madonna, Princess Superstar, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie and so on. There is nothing new here. How dare she call herself an artist. That is insulting to the truly deserving and talented, to even put herself in that category. What a joke. Her music is bland and empty and sounds like everything else on the radio. Sorry, but she really irks me.

Anonymous | 5/30/2009, 11:20 pm EST

i totally agree with bootyboot.
I find it really sad that in interveiw after interveiw, SHE has to tell US that shes weird. she cant let us decide for ourselves. and after all this cramming down our throats shes done, after she keeps telling us shes different, original, blah blah blah…weve all come to believe it. and yes, like ewwwwwww! said, she wouldnt have gotten this far if all her “original” outfits covered her up more.
if she goes out there, makes some REAL music that IS original, has DEPTH and sounds DIFFERENT to everything techno on the radio right now, then sure, i’ll like her.
but too bad that isnt the case.
she is DUISGUSTING.

. | 5/30/2009, 11:23 pm EST

im really sorry its come to this, rolling stone.

Sammy | 5/30/2009, 11:27 pm EST

Chris | 5/30/2009, 11:30 pm EST

OH, and she isnt original at all, her music definatley ISNT, and the way she acts definatley ISNT. weve seen this all before. she is just another little skank wearing barely anything and calling it “original”.

Matt | 5/30/2009, 11:31 pm EST

YEAH THE GLAM AND THE ANDY WARHOLE AND THE BISEXUAL WAS DAVID BOWIES IDEA!!!
LADY GAGA IS SUCH A LOSER!

LP Roxon | 5/30/2009, 11:43 pm EST

I love miss GaGa! Anyone who says “We’ve seen this all before” is just soo old! Of course you’ve seen it all before you’re soo damn old!
Anyways, how can anyone be original if everythings already been done many times over. What’s wrong with having a lil bit of inspiration. That’s what art is about.

So, yeah… Miss GaGa IS AWESOME cuz she can bring it back better than anyone else I’ve seen!

LP Roxon | 5/30/2009, 11:45 pm EST

Hey, It’s New To US!!

something needed to say | 5/31/2009, 1:12 am EST

let me set this straight…the bitches who are hating are obviously jealous, no talent, cold-hearted, whores that don’t think before they talk. if you people had lives, you wouldn’t be looking for lady gag online just to hate on her. you don’t have a right to judge. you don’t know her personally now do you? if you do it’s a different story. i think she’s talented, beautiful, and amazing. her make-up and hair could be better i’ll admit in this pic, but the outfit is stunning. sure we don’yt all like her music but that doesn’t give you the right to post hate mail. what if one of you liked a7x or 50cent. maybe soulja boy. chris broen? rihanna? and what if someone hated on them? you probably would start complaining too. you’d disagree with the hater. so why don’t you all no life haters leave this fucken page and do something worth your fucken time?

rez | 5/31/2009, 3:11 am EST

i love lady gaga :)
please come to indonesia sometime lol wew the video can’t be played btw

eh | 5/31/2009, 4:52 am EST

so “just dance” was ok, but besides that, I don’t feel like lady gaga is talented at all. within the next few years she’ll simply be a forgotten name

Chris | 5/31/2009, 7:43 am EST

im not old, im a 15 year old with great music taste.
How the shit is posing half nude on the cover of a magazine ORIGINAL? poeple: you see it on slutty playboy mags all the time.
I am so sick of this ugly chick with her shitty music that all sounds the same.

Lucky | 5/31/2009, 7:46 am EST

LISTENING TO GOOD MUSIC DOENT MEAN YOUR OLD. LADY GAGA IS SHIT. AND HER MUSIC IS SHIT. IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME…SHIT.

LOOKATMEMAN:) | 5/31/2009, 10:44 am EST

David Bowie, Queen, are inspirations not guides, Lady GaGa, any musician knows that.
David Bowie has a song called ‘Fame’,
why don’t you make your own original songs.
I like your Poker Face and Just Dance but what I’d really like to know is where did you get the idea from and manage to write them in five minutes? That’s too good to be true, in other words you’re either a fake or a public stunt cd ripper from madonna and princes music, the difference is they are original you are not. I am a lover of music and I love Madonna and Prince and I know all the lyrics to all there popular songs and Prince wrote a song, with Beautiful, dirty and rich, why you slimey little cat.
That’s plagarism and all his music is ORIGINAL and not copied.
His Purple Rain will never be beaten by Poker Face. That album is very popular and you think for one minute that we’re that dumb??? Not when you’re from the old school. And since when did you listen to David Bowie and Queen, hmmm??? At 4, how is that and Queen and Madonna and Prince, oh I get it you studied them ever since right??? Otherwise there would be no-way in the world you would be able to seep in all that music and come up with something of your own.
David Bowie had a star painted over his eye and face just like you have, why??? I can understand him, but not you. You are so way out it makes someone think, is this chick for real or what??? Be yourself and maybe you’ll have more fans than ever. Maybe then you will change the world, I mean the way they look at you. I am a writer not a critic, you should be happy, cause I did go to your concert and ask you to smile at the end of it but you just kept walking, no feeling at all, your cold blooded, thristy for attention, thats what you get off on.

tacky | 5/31/2009, 11:59 am EST

she just wrecked her image by playing into the hands of the old boys club at Rolling Stone. Any female with talent must immediately be reduced down to a steamy/semi nude photo shoot prior to being ‘launched’ into stardom by the old boys. DOWN WITH THE US OLD BOYS CLUBS.

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:03 pm EST

She handed herself off to the old chauvinists at the STone. Why not do playboy next or is hugh heffner even still alive to carry on that ‘tradition’. Having a look at young females bodies is high demand right? not that theyre not all over the internet already/ so whatts the point? she STOOPED. thats the point. She got taken advantage of.

Well. she had talent. NOW SHES GOT ‘SEX APPEAL’ thanks to the old chauvinist boys club at stone magazine showing us hwo they see female up and coming stars. They see ‘em with no clothes on, thats how they see ‘em and what they say goes. shuving sex down all our throats.

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:10 pm EST

Im jsut going to ignore this ever happened. My son is a fan and now I need to explain to him what Old Boys Clubs do to young women when they have power.

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:13 pm EST

I want everyone to picture their young sons who are in bands and about 22 and think of them naked with a few bubbles covering themsleves up. THATS WHAT I WANT TO SEE, lets see a few men STOOP THIS LOW. YOU WONT SEE IT. THey dont NEED THE MONEY like women do cause they have better economic chances and a better place in the world. Women are ho’d out and sold for sex. Sad state for the US who is a peddler of soft porn in every porn

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:18 pm EST

wouldnt it just be vile to see Jon Mayer up there with his b*lls covered in bubbles. Especially after his first hit when he was still ‘young’ and boyish. Or how about James Blunt, lets see him with his legs lifted up and a few bubbles coming out from under his pulled down boxers. THAT WOULD BE SICK RIGHT? IT would show men in a weak light, we dont want that or accept that because women are supposed to be weak right? Plus this is old school, some old man trying to catch a glimpse of something. I doubt the 70 year olds are even listening to her but they get to have a good look at her

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:23 pm EST

The sad part is people blame the female whenever they fall into the hands of these massive power hungry porn peddling giants waiting there with ‘the cash’. Her career might ‘depend’ on them or so were taught right?
They got off free and everyone judges the female for 10 years after. sad.

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:31 pm EST

MEdia Fries the young woman.

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:35 pm EST

The Old Stone and its Old Boys Clubs values wins one more time

tacky | 5/31/2009, 12:48 pm EST

Maybe shes just trying to stir up contreversy and expose rolling stone but any female who has ever given in to this temptation has been destroyed by media after wards, It will be interesting to see if she survives because the American Media loves to fry and stalk YOUNG WOMEN like the porn peddling perverted stalkers they are.

JoeK | 5/31/2009, 1:20 pm EST

To the topic of talent: she was a ghostwriter for a bunch of other musicians before going her own way (you cannot claim she doesn’t know the game or know how to create music that people want to hear)

To the topic of originality: there is noone else doing what she is doing, if Marilyn Manson gives her ‘art-cred’ (he knows her personally and has) I have to follow suit.

To the topic of sluttiness: maybe this is a generation gap, I think what her and Sasha Grey are doing for women is pretty profound.

I wouldn’t ask for agreement here–but she is a self-invented self-motivated performer with an album that has been top 5 for the last few months; I don’t think anyone else commenting above has or could do that.. If you’re a music snob and you “don’t get it” that’s you’re thing, but keep the negativity to yourself and maybe follow some p. twitty–seriously, ditch the negative karma.

Anonymous | 5/31/2009, 2:20 pm EST

She looks terrible..I would be embarassed if I had a picture of myself like this, especially if it was on the cover of a popular magazine.

darkestlady | 5/31/2009, 2:36 pm EST

she’s a really crap… and it love make controversies, but truly she’s not a peace than try it to be.
in a blink of eye me and whole world gonna see a person totally different of what she’s now.
or… Has been forgotten what the own Lady Gaga spoke ill of Christina Aguilera?

She’s not herself.
she’s pretending all the time
we watching and listening someone made by falsehood.

Osirisguard | 5/31/2009, 2:57 pm EST

Lady gaga is a great singer… You can’t change that fact. She is great live too… I like her the way she is right now and I hope a big future coming up to her…

The cover for me was a bit uncomfortable anyway

kim | 5/31/2009, 7:36 pm EST

She is the best at this moment. Evrybody looking at her. She makes a good album “The Fame”wich is better that the latest Gwen Stefani or Christina Aguilera. She looks like Madonna but is not so sweetable as Madge in her early years. She is far better tha britney! I think she looks like the better Gwen Stefani ( Hollaback girl or hella good). She is amazing but she has to become more friends with her public. She is just a face with a crowd. We want to be touched!

Nathaniel | 5/31/2009, 8:19 pm EST

Omg Lady Gaga your on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Jimbo311 | 5/31/2009, 8:54 pm EST

Wow so much jealousy and hate here. Seriously people you either like her or you don’t. Stop acting like children and grow up. I think she’s a great singer with a very unique sense of style. I think her and Christina have a lot in common and I hope they colaborate in the future. @jimbo311

I would go lesbian for her.

She is so fucking talented it makes me want to weep with joy. More power to her, she’s a true artist. She writes everything, what the fuck has Britney Spears written? She is what it is, and that is awesomeness.

gorgeouslogy | 6/1/2009, 4:06 am EST

i love you gaga! stop comparing her with christina.

meh | 6/1/2009, 12:18 pm EST

she steals parts for her songs from older bands, she wears outfits that were inspired by TRANSVESTITES from the club she used to work at and she has no actual talent just like all pop singers. SHE IS A NO TALENT HACK!!!

Brittney | 6/1/2009, 5:59 pm EST

she looks like shit in this picture!
ewwwww
britney and christina are better
lady gaga is only in 4 the fame
she wont be famous 4 much longer.
shes a whore.
and sucks on stage.
horrible slutty performances.
britney is the only one who can get away with that. in my opinion.

Helga | 6/2/2009, 12:41 pm EST

She greatest artist ever, period! Andy Warhol speaks through her song about getting drunky drunk drunk. David Bowie? Who that? We don’t need him anymore! Not now that we have this genius who can write songs about card playing in 2 seconds! She also has special healing powers, so I await the Lady Hoochy Coo medal I can wear over my heart to show my love of losing my phone and having my shirt on inside out. Men taking advantage means you are liberated! Get with it people! And this Bette Midler cover, oh so outrageous! You people who don’t like it are just yeah, like, jealous! She will live forever! Who can think of David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Grace Jones or anyone who writes lyrics and actually sings with emotion when you have this robot lady! Wind her up and have her say something about sexy times. That is all we need in this day and age. Thank you for knowing that, Rolling Stone. We never have other women in the music world who talk about sexy times! She is a LEGEND and ICON of the sexy times! You haters are just jealous you can’t sing as robotic as she does. Jealous people, how sad.

Aliceou812 | 6/2/2009, 3:05 pm EST

Why all the hate | 6/2/2009, 3:58 pm EST

Why do people trash stars and say that she is ugly and horrible trash. If you hate Lady GaGa so much, then why are you watching her music videos and reading articles about her??? it makes no sense. She is a talented young artist who has created a new type of music in her own style. It is unique and creative.

LADY...LADY...hear me.. | 6/2/2009, 5:31 pm EST

Your songs are GREAT !!!

Keiy | 6/2/2009, 6:11 pm EST

I love lady Gaga…she original, and her fashion sense is priceless..you dont have to like her…but saying nasty comments gets YOU no where kuz she will still be making money and famous while you sit at home watching…so have an opinion but lets try not to be a jerk about it k?

fuck all you haters | 6/2/2009, 6:14 pm EST

lady gaga is amazing and has tons of talent.. u just hate her because she is different well fuck off if you dont like her than stop watching her..she is unique and is bringing something different to the table–ew and never compare her to britney spears, britney spears sucks and is a doll that the music industry controls while lady gaga does her own stuff!!

Zazu | 6/2/2009, 9:22 pm EST

David Chapelle should be so happy that he got to do a photo shoot with the greatest rock music icon to ever grace the cover of Rolling Stone. What other pop star sings so greatly about such serious subjects? She sounds like she has a PhD in Sociology, the subjects…..she knows them from her hard life…..from intoxication to playing cards. Her music also has healing properties on the body, yeah, check it out. She so unique looking and her songs so played so much, like the new Beatles, the Jonas Brothers, that everyone just hate her greatness. No one will remember David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Dale Bozzio, Terri Nunn, Grace Jones, Freddie Mercury, Bette Midler in “The Rose” Wendy O Williams cause they are old and make you stop and think!! Who wants to do that now? Just dance! Just act on your impulses! Just buy this issue. She so beautiful here, like curvy Nancy Spungeon. The Pope just announced he thinks she is the star of the new age! She is goddess!

of course | 6/2/2009, 9:46 pm EST

with today superstar like heidi montag n spencer pratt.. of course this so called ‘oh so original and unique’ become an icon.. it’s because u all had a very ‘good’ taste in music… btw this is SARCASM!!! HAHA get away wit it losseeeeerrrrrrrr

ryan | 6/3/2009, 11:41 am EST

i love lady gaga! She is a true artist. she has written all of her songs. She has true unique style and her songs are original. Everyone needs to stop judging her on what you think she is like. Get to know someone before doing that crap. It’s immature. Her album is great! Love all the songs on it! Lovegame is my favorite. Love the music video too. I havent got to go to her concert yet i hoping i’ll get to go soon though. I heard they are great. Lady Gaga!

Roger | 6/3/2009, 12:16 pm EST

She is the new Andy Warhol, always original with ideas, just like he was, her music is so fresh and new, it sounds like nothing ever created on this planet. Madonna, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury? She is just being nice by mentioning those poseurs. Her video is greater than Ingmar Bergman and Truffant combined. She is the only genius of the new age. Her beauty is so powerful that no woman dares go near her for fear of embarassment. Her cover shows that she can also act better than Meryl Streep. We need to forget the past and embrace her now. Love her Walmart/Axe Body Spray interview, btw. Such a wonderful woman! She brings hope to a long suffering world. I love how edgy she is…who would have ever thought about making a video about stardom being a difficult game? Just incredible. Or being semi nude on a cover?!? The only person anyone should be listening to, or you are crazy. Especially the old people (those over 26), like the Greatest Artist Who Ever Lived has said herself! Take that, Paula Abdul!

Unce | 6/4/2009, 6:39 am EST

She’s original (at least for a pop star) and i doing something new in that sense. Plus, I think her outrageous fashion sense is pretty cool and a ballsy move. But if you’ve ever listened to one interview with her you’ll want to strangle her. She is so into her persona that it’s annoying. Plus she seems real vain. She dated my friend in high school back when she was Stephanie Germanotta and a theatre dork/not famous. and BOOM 6 years later and half an NYU education, and she’s a pop star and refuses to talk to him. Still, I can’t hate 100 percent. The music’s catchy.

rob | 6/4/2009, 4:11 pm EST

What a terrible cover for a respected magazine.

If she at least worked on writing serious music, and didn’t dress like a plastic pop star slut, then maybe I’d have a LITTLE bit of respect for her, but no. She has become yet another plastic pop star, and I think it’s sad that she wastes her talent on mostly rapping the vocals to her garbage music that’s all over the charts, rather than singing her songs.

It’s unfortunate, she could’ve been the next greatest soul/R&B singer. Of course, thanks to her label trying to hore her out and make her sing cliche garbage songs that nobody will want to hear in 6 months time, she is just another cheep plastic pop star that will probably end up just like the rest. What a waste of talent

tommy | 6/4/2009, 4:19 pm EST

In a few months, it’ll be more like, the FALL of Lady GaGa!

and did someone on here actually say she’s the best artist/singer ever? You got to be kidding me.

I think that person is artistically tasteless and probably is one of the few that doesn’t like real rock music, which is what started rolling stone magazine in the first place. Not this abomination known as Lady GaGa.

Whoever you are, go out and buy “Revolver”, “Highway 61 Revisited”, “London Calling”, and “Nevermind”. THAT is real music. All different genres, All by artists who didn’t sell out to the pop music industry.

Da hell are you smoking bro?
There is nothing real about her music…She just edits her voice and crap to make it sound good so people will buy it. You know what I call that? I call that selling out. She sold out from the start.
And bout acting better then people; She is half naked on a once awesome magazine cover, How is that acting better then anyone else in the freaking word, any chick can do that.

Yeah! That is totally it! Everyone is jealous of the brilliance and beauty of Lady Gaga. Who ever could have come up with such a brilliant stage name? You? No way, you are just typing, like me, but I am saying she is the best thing to happen to popular music ever! That makes me superior! She is an icon and legend, no a true goddess. Look at that photo, but then avert your eyes. She is a divine creature. With the money she came from and is now making, you who don’t like her making her money from kids are just sad old people! You think David Bowie writes better stuff than the single of the decade, “Just Dance”. Back haters! Get with it, she is the new ICON OF THE WORLD! THANK YOU ROLLING STONE!

olliedee | 6/5/2009, 9:19 pm EST

bad choice for a cover rolling stone. I don’t understand how a plastic pop princess who’s music is dominated by synthesizers, cheep autotuning, and garbage half-ass’d lyrics that are even too dumb for someone with brain damage is respected. Maybe it’s her idiotic fans who keep buying her records, rather than buying music made by artists with real talent. I hope she has a rehab stint soon so that her music will disappear off the charts fast.

dylan | 6/5/2009, 9:40 pm EST

I’m going to take a horrendious comment on here and pick it appart piece by piece just to show how mindless her fans are..

“She is the new Andy Warhol, always original with ideas, her music is so fresh and new, it sounds like nothing ever created on this planet”.

- Andy Warhol was original. GaGa’s music is just the same teenage bubblegum music repackaged in a plastic pop star who is trying to copy X-tina’s image, and this music isn’t fresh, it stinks like rotting meat.

“Madonna, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury? She is just being nice by mentioning those poseurs”.

- Poseurs? Try one of the most original female pop artists of the 80’s, a man who re-invented himself for every album and had great success, and a guy who is easily one of the best singers of all time. No autotune or rapped lyrics to be found, no plastic image either. If anything, SHE is the poser.

“Her video is greater than Ingmar Bergman and Truffant combined”.

- her video is just another mtv pop redundancy. Paint by numbers pop/slutty princess music with an even sluttier video.

“She is the only genius of the new age”.

- … That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Her music is REDUNDANT, not original, or smart.

“Her beauty is so powerful that no woman dares go near her for fear of embarrassment”.

- She is ugly on the cover of this magazine, and the way she dresses. Now beauty is skin deep, but by trying to look like a prostitute, that does not give her points in the purity and beautiful department. U.G.L.Y!

“Her cover shows that she can also act better than Meryl Streep”.

- Who says she can act? Maybe she can, as one of her songs says, “go down on somebody”. Hmm…maybe she can act in the porn industry, but she’ll never be a Meryl Streep!

“We need to forget the past and embrace her now”.

- Yeah, forget that she once had aspirations to be a decent singer and even play piano. Let’s love the new, sluttier her that gives the magazine reader herpes just looking at her on this cover!

“Love her Walmart/Axe Body Spray interview, BTW”.

- …corporate…sponsorship. And walmart at that. What a piece of pop garbage!

“Such a wonderful woman! She brings hope to a long suffering world. I love how edgy she is…who would have ever thought about making a video about stardom being a difficult game”?

“I don’t know what her personality is under all that makeup, but I bet it’s just as raunchy and fake as her music. And getting to the top the hard way is what real artists in the rock and roll field have done. Her…hmm…probably some rich exec just found her at a sleazy nightclub and said “I can make you a star baby, here’s 100 dollars, dance for me!” She is as fake as all the other pop princesses out there.

“Just incredible. Or being semi nude on a cover?!?”

- I know, I nearly threw up just looking at it!

“The only person anyone should be listening to, or you are crazy”.

- Yeah, we should all do what gaga says, we should all use looped tracks and effects galore on our voices and throw away all our guitars, basses, and drums and just rap rather than singing. What wonderful music! No, people who think this way are crazy. So are the people who helped her get to the top.

“Especially the old people (those over 26)”,

- What are you, 11? I’m under 26, and last time, I, or 99% of the world checked, old was 60 and up. As you get older oh ye of little musical taste, you’ll find there is more out there than cheep “music” like this.

“like the Greatest Artist Who Ever Lived has said herself!”

- SHE said that, I doubt that. She’s too busy talking about what clothes to wear and what nightclub to hit next

“Take that, Paula Abdul!”

- pathetic

reasonningminds | 6/6/2009, 12:36 am EST

after reading through previous comment I have to admit that LADY GAGA fans would rather be mindless than be anything else in mindless minds.

Bluzulu | 6/6/2009, 7:32 am EST

What mean…mean…mean spirited people you are!!! WOW!!! I personally don’t know this chick but in all the interviews I’ve ever seen her in she seems like a nice, decent person who is fully enjoying entertaining her fans and making people happy.

Most of you, however, seem to enjoy being dicks!!!

K. | 6/6/2009, 12:18 pm EST

As if being rich and famous is the epitome of happiness… also, to the person who said people like Freddie Mercury will be forgotten because they’re old and their music makes you think (which people apparently don’t want to do anymore), you are a f***ing moron. Thank God there still are people in the world who want to use their brain. I feel sorry for those who just want to listen to an electronic beat and disregard all lyrics. And to those who say lady GaGa is a genius who at least writes her own songs… sure, she writes her own songs, but her lyrics f***ing suck my left nut. They are meaningless drivel which people actually try to place meaning into where there is none.

Emma | 6/6/2009, 4:17 pm EST

She is so kind! She does concerts for poor kids, and she doesn’t even know what it is like to be poor! See, she has compassion. She can walk in the regular person’s shoes. So what if she was born into wealth? Now we all know what it feels like thanks to her genius. She is keeping it real! I saw that Walmart interview and her outfit was sick! You are just jealous of her great looks and excellent choice of producers. Move on, haters!

Smurf | 6/6/2009, 9:06 pm EST

She is ripping off 80’s lead singer Dale Bozzio big time..

Major9000 | 6/6/2009, 11:40 pm EST

Lady Gaga is Pure Energy, I love all of it!

musiclove | 6/7/2009, 12:23 am EST

First off, I have to give her props for being a successful woman. I love seeing any woman succeed. But – there’s something I don’t buy about this girl. Something doesn’t fit, feels contrived, feels fake and I’m not talking about the fact that she obviously puts a LOT of planning into every outfit, every move, her character, etc. It’s beyond that and I find it perplexing that she’s gotten to where she is in spite of it. Even when you hear her in an interview it just doesn’t add up. I wonder if she feels like a phony when she’s alone with her thoughts (which I think a fair amoutn of people do at certain points in their life)? And I’m not saying that in a mean way either. I’m guessing she doesn’t believe fully in it all herself because I think that’s what’s leaking out and stopping her from really being able to pull it off 100%. With that said, I wish her all the luck. I just find her success a bit strange.

gaga fan number 1 | 6/7/2009, 7:40 am EST

i dont care about any thing see is GREAT!!!!!!!!!

gaga fan number 1 | 6/7/2009, 7:40 am EST

i dont care about any thing see is GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Jesse | 6/7/2009, 5:12 pm EST

Wow, some people on here are judgmental. Don’t lump all of her fans together and call them ‘idiotic’ just because they have a different taste in music than you do. Art is subjective, and just because you consider her lyrics to be trash, doesn’t mean that they are.

I like her music for what it is. I don’t look for anything deep in the lyrics… Because I doubt I’d find anything. However, her music is incredibly catchy and great to dance to.

So, way to show off your intelligence by basically saying anyone who likes her is stupid, even though someone’s taste in music has nothing to do with their intelligence. That makes plenty of sense.

Carol | 6/7/2009, 6:33 pm EST

She’s style over substance. She’s not meant to be taken seriously. I like her album and listen to it for fun and I’m 35 years old. Lighten up people, its dance music she not singing about world peace. Jealous people always freak out when someone becomes famous. I like her and wish her the best. Jeez people! Get a life.

regina | 6/8/2009, 5:23 am EST

she’s a gem in the industry. she’s unqiue. she’s herself. and i love her music

GaGaGoer | 6/8/2009, 11:24 am EST

ur a bunch of haters. shes not a slut like every one thinks she is! nudity is natural bitches! also she taught herself an instrument at 4 and writes all her own song like a true artist does. dont make shit up if u dont know it 4 a fact. and shes not a fucking man, shes a godessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!.

Pat | 6/8/2009, 3:17 pm EST

I like her voice very much. It sounds powerful… Like Donna Summer. I give her credit for putting it all together, she writes, arranges, sings quite well. ( with or without processing of the studio)
Her melodies and hooks are pure pop perfection. She has her own style.
There is a lot there to be envious of.
It has been time for something new in America!

sexysissy | 6/8/2009, 7:43 pm EST

I love gaga!!!!!she’s amazing!! I want her and my lover boy Jet Phynx to get together. He’s like the male gaga. They would make the cutiest couple ever!!!!Omg
You have to check him out he has one of the most sexist smiles EVER!!! Gaga & Jet Phynx should hook up asap!!!

Anonymous | 6/8/2009, 7:46 pm EST

Oh man, you people need to quit drinking the kool-aid. Have you read her interviews? She’s very vain and has made it clear she’s only interested in being famous to be famous. She never talks about anything inspiring or maybe being someone worth being respected because her lyrics have “substance”. Ha, substance, that one makes me laugh. She just thinks she should be respected because her “fashion” is the new black and people keep playing that damn poker song OVER AND OVER. I avoid places that would even remotely play that kind of music, because I might smash the stereo system if I have to hear it again. If it’s so awesome why isn’t Marc Jacob’s or some of the most elite fashion designers creating these looks?! BECAUSE IT LOOKS STUPID! Rolling Stone’s rarely grace their own cover with artists worth hearing about anymore. And comparing her to Andy Warhol? My god the upcoming generations are damned. Try listening to some fucking Elvis Costello. Then check out Kim gordon, cat power, or the late Runaways. Women who were really standing out and worth respecting because they were actually making a difference in the music industry and EARNING that respect from people everywhere. These women are paving ways, Lady GaGa is paving a road I don’t want to go down. Where women are a piece of meat and sex symbols, yes sex sells, but good artists sell their music and true musical talent, they don’t rely on their sex appeal to do it for them.

sexykitty | 6/8/2009, 10:43 pm EST

I hate haters. Gaga is amazing!!!
I l0ve her music and the way she dress….Gaga needs a male gaga and new pop artist Jet Phynx is him. His style and gaga matches.
Marlyn M is to dark. Gaga & Jet would rule the world!!!!!!

bi700 | 6/8/2009, 10:53 pm EST

ok sexykitty,forget jet GAGA is a one band no man killing machine.

People are so catty.Lady Gaga looks fab on the cover

Me | 6/8/2009, 11:15 pm EST

I really liked her at the beginning of her career. She seemed like a decent person who really wanted to make it to the big time. She (in my opinion) has an excellent voice (like a mix between Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera) When she became like an overnight sensation, all that fame got to her head. With those REALLY racy vids for LoveGame and Paparazzi,and all that bisexual crap, she just seems like another talented pop star gone media whore. I really do hope she turns around though, it would be a shame to have another Madonna on our hands.

Scaramouche | 6/9/2009, 1:31 am EST

Gaga is pure indulgent pop, and she makes no mistake of that. At times seeming like the incestuous love child of David Bowie and Liza Minelli, but always striking her own path, and doesn’t give a damn what people say.

Anonymous | 6/9/2009, 4:30 am EST

@ anonymous:

It is a bit of a stretch to compare her to Andy Warhol, but the point they were trying to make is that she is trying to turn every aspect of herself (not just her music) into a piece of pop media. This includes her eclectic look and her pop star attitude.

While I’m not her biggest fan, I am intrigued to see whether she turns out to be a self-whoring sellout, or something closer to what she envisions herself as.

AMANDA | 6/9/2009, 11:51 pm EST

Gaga is awesome, and people who have nothing nice to write about her are just losers. if you dont like her than why are you even looking at this page and commenting on it? it makes no sense.

pinoy | 6/10/2009, 5:19 am EST

many haters, many admirers, more fame!

Brickwalls | 6/10/2009, 7:55 am EST

She is fulling all of us. The joke is on us. Just like andy did.
dont you see? She name her album the Fame because it has a powerful meaning. Whatever it is americans by into the fame. Hate it or love it. Weclome to Lady Gaga’s Fame/Game!!!!
P.s No Ms Sexykitty Jet Phynx is not a male gaga. Hes a Socialite!

Haus of GAGA is Taking Over and we cant stop them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lori | 6/10/2009, 3:05 pm EST

No, she BETTER than Andy Warhol! He so unoriginal he just took off on the end of his name and he make paintings. He no make great music that will last 1000s of years! Do not insult this most beautiful of all lady singers. That make me mad! She is Lady Gaga, I think you should realize how much greater she is than Andy whatever. She give herself a totally new name, she name herself so beautiful, just like everything she touches.
All the great hits off of her genius work, Fame, is so wonderful because it is all about the type of life she come from. Did you have a piano at four? No! You just jealous! Did you have a record company totally giving you tons of money and saying you are great? No because Walmart decided to go with the most greatest woman of the 21st century, Lady Gaga.
Don’t insult Haus of Gaga. She greater than Andy Pandy Whatever. They call the shots for her! She wear no pants. She is the new ideal for all women. You just have to wear no pants, then you see how much of an artiste you are. Until then, you just a hater. She is so brilliant she conned you all into make her so super famous mothers will be naming their babies Gaga. Gaga for Emperor of the Universe!

just saying. | 6/11/2009, 2:17 am EST

people think this chick can sing? has anyone noticed that almost anyone can make a song in a studio these days? we got people with absolutely no talent making songs that suck and have no creativity whatsoever. yet, their getting famous and awards. wanna know why? because this country has no taste in real music anymore.

we need real musicians these days. shes not one of them.

GaGa Fan. | 6/11/2009, 11:45 am EST

To the comment below mine (JUST SAYING), this girl actually CAN sing and is not just another 21st-century pop product like Rihanna or Ciara. I saw her perform live at the House of Blues in San Diego. Not only is she a good singer- she can play the piano (she played a song a’capela), can dance extremely well live (while singing), and is an advocate for the LGBT community, as she so proudly stated at the HoB.
People have to give this girl credit. She writes her own material, produces the tunes that makes her songs catchy, and is incredibly talented when it comes to making a statement and having her name know. There’s no question why her album has moved so many sales and still continues to remain in the top of the Billboard charts:
She’s actual talent.

"Emo", or so they tell me | 6/11/2009, 1:28 pm EST

I’ve always been into Marilyn Manson, My Chemical Romance, Billy Talent, and other so-called “emo” bands (I know none of them are really ‘emo’ music, blame the stupidity of my classmates). So it does come as a big surprise that I like to listen to Lady Gaga and Fort Minor and Eminem and other pop and rap artists. I like that shock factor, and I like the music. I like breaking the boundaries and I think that Lady Gaga is doing just that-that’s why I like her as a person, too. I’d liked her music since she came out (causing much displeasure from most of my friends) but I nearly fell in love with ehr when I found out she was doing a song with Marilyn Manson, who I practically worship for her music, personality and character. Long live the Mason-Dickson Line-crossers. Long live line-crossers everywhere. Long live Lady Gaga!

Griff | 6/11/2009, 1:40 pm EST

I think you all need to come to a middle ground :P

She’s kind of an idiot, is a bit vain and thinks she’s a lot cooler than she is…

but she’s an AMAZING musician. She can sing, she knows what people want to hear, and she knows how to be an artist and produce great hits. When she’s not performing though… it’s a bit ehh :P

Helen | 6/11/2009, 2:01 pm EST

Like, haters back off! She is a singer who can sing! Do I need to write anything more? She can sing! That makes any criticism of her ridiculous! And writing songs about her wealthy background in a time of recession……what genius, I mean, like, OMG. That would never mean short term escapism, or career confusion. She is just like, um, pushing the envelope! She is the new avant guarde. She is the new sun that shines brightly down from the sky on a cold loveless world. She is the most beautiful woman ever to live, you people are just all jealous. She writes her own music, and she is better than any of those 80s people, like David Bowie.

my2cents | 6/11/2009, 4:05 pm EST

it’s annoying when people get so elitist about music lyrics, taste etc. not every song i listen to or album i buy has to change my life. sometimes we just like to listen to ‘fun’ music. personally, i can see the genius in substance that is tchaikovsky and the genius in style that is lady gaga.

Olga | 6/11/2009, 5:46 pm EST

Screw all you haters. go fcuk yourselves.
Lady gaga is absolutely fantastic and original!
Theres nothing wrong with having an obsession with fame. She’s only human. She just has the balls to admit that she loves fame unlike other celebrities. You people act like every celebrity doesnt care about fame. THEY DO! IF THEY WEREN’T FAMOUS THEY WOULDNT HAVE ANY FANS AND COULDNT BE CONSIDERED A CELEBRITY! Dumbasses.

Although I love Lady GaGa, I Must say that rolling stones ruined her with this cover. It makes her look like a witch! She’s more beautiful than that! And you people messed up the Bubble Dress! Dont try to imitate something that you cant make better than the original! This is terrible.

mehhh | 6/11/2009, 7:29 pm EST

jessielou | 6/12/2009, 7:00 am EST

To all you fuckers who have dissed lady gaga you all suck shit. you probley sit on your fat ass and comment on people who have had alot more success in life than you have had. lady gaga is a very out there. she has a very nice voice and all her clothes are awesome. i like her because she is different and doesnt really care what people think. so all the gaga haters who are reading this you just have sold by a 13 year old. to all the people have any conserns plz sent a comment to jessielou23@live.com lol

drew | 6/12/2009, 11:49 pm EST

She is as good as manson, and i mean that he suck’s. Long live the black metal!

lyrafowlpotter | 6/13/2009, 4:13 am EST

This is ridiculous… I have read countless comments on here as well as listened to GaGa’s music, watched her videos, her interviews, and such for the last 9months. At first I thought she was very interesting until I realized just how vain she is. Calling yourself Andy Warhol and talking about how great your art is all the time? Please.

She sings well, and obviously has some song-writing skills, but she hopelessly waste them. I would admonish people who like her to look past the so-called originality and realize she’s the most fabricated (self) popstar in the history of music, and she revels in it, which I’m sure some will say makes her ORIGINAL and AWESOME and soooooooo UNIQUE… Right.

Anyway, I like her, but I want to see the REAL Stefani, not the act. It got old real quick, I want some heart and soul, but maybe GaGa is just afraid that people wont like the real her; that’s why I used to act.

Bottom line, get worked up and defend what matters, not some vain popstar, no matter how “talented” they seem to be.

jrjr | 6/13/2009, 6:35 pm EST

Bitch is nasty and makes terrible ‘music’.

Lily | 6/14/2009, 11:36 am EST

She’s pretty dang hot in her music videos all computerized. But its cool and she is not like christina agulara. Plus christina was way to girly. Shes is like her own self. She a cool song writer id have to say. Those songs are trapped in mind for life. GAGA!

reece | 6/14/2009, 2:30 pm EST

people have said that they believe that lady gaga was a woman who was then changed into a man then back into a woman so is this true people all over the world are talking about this so what do think, is she really a transsexual and is she keeping secrets from the world!!!!

Heyhey | 6/14/2009, 8:43 pm EST

Can anyone please help me find the song Poker Face’s chant was ripped off of? I swear I remember this exact chant to some pop song from MTV and the other lyrics were something like, “Lord Baker she never gives up.. *ama-ma-ma* Lord something something..”, saw it when I was 10 but I SWEAR it has the same chant. I looked EVERYWHERE for it, so I guess I got the lyrics wrong. I believe the vid had one of these things, a business woman, a blue 80s suit, or a big blue throne

Not so ga ga | 6/15/2009, 12:52 am EST

WOW CLONE!!! | 6/15/2009, 9:29 am EST

WOW CLONE!!!

Stop-Direct Selling 2 children | 6/15/2009, 10:47 am EST

This woman is a total bint in interviews, has the ego of the largest planet in our universe. Wow, that’s so awesome that she makes no apologies for acting like a complete ARSE. Fierce is so overrated. But she is the MOST overrated, pretentious, pre-fabricated and contrived ART piece I have ever seen. It’s sad actually that people don’t GET that she is fake and then accuse others of just being jealous. It’s also gross that the other day I saw her ‘Poker Face’ video on a kids channel that also plays ‘ICarly’. sickening that she says she doesn’t have responsibility. sickening that her music is being DIRECT marketed to kids let alone on the radio. gymnastics teachers let them dance to “Just Dance’ with lyrics about getting drunk.

PPS, sometimes people blog from companies that pay ‘fake bloggers’ to put down comments to get a rise out of people’. This works and between her own contradictions as well as bloggers = superstardom. really, it’s pathetic.

PS, I’m a fitness instructor, an artist and my naked face is better than hers with makeup on. I will never desire to be anything remotely like her. I also know ‘I’m more educated in sex, yes’ (like her song Lovegame)–simply based on the fact I don’t have to talk about sex all the time.

claudia | 6/15/2009, 1:47 pm EST

lady gaga its gross ugh
i hate her :@

Benny Boo Boo | 6/15/2009, 6:28 pm EST

It drives me nuts when people say that she isn’t a true musician and she can’t really sing. People tend to think because her music has a very electronic sound, her voice must be digitally created in a studio. NOT THE CASE! Her genre of music is electro-pop, and so of course her music is going to sound this way. Try watching a video or two of her singing live. Often times, I prefer the live version because she’s got a serious set of pipes! Shes an AMAZING singer. Nuff said.

SamieeeeGaGaFTW | 6/15/2009, 8:01 pm EST

Okay
Some people on here make very good points about GaGa but others are talking utter bullshit.
She IS one of the most talented people (in pop) atm!
She has come far from her kinda stripper lifestyle. And yeah okay she may be putting on a front because tbh dont ALL fucking americans.
Shes vain…Yes
Shes Annoying…Sometimes
But tbh thats what makes her special. The fact that this women does not care what all you haters has to say makes her special.
Take britney she couldnt take the attention anymore so she shaved her hair off.
Gaga doesnt respond to all your shit and good on her.
Shes here..Shes amazing…Live With It!!

Love You GaGa !!

estefania | 6/15/2009, 9:34 pm EST

I LOVE LADY GAGA !
she is the best pop singer i had ever know!

you need to make a video of your song “money honey” i identifie my self with that song!
kisses love u

Lady GAGA's biggestfan | 6/15/2009, 11:12 pm EST

you are a great composer.

Findingoutwhoiam | 6/15/2009, 11:55 pm EST

Let me tell all you haters out there she doesn’t care what people say and she’s been through slot and it’s so cool how she’s not perfect all the time it’s such a relief to know there is a real celeb who isn’t fake!!! +her voice amazing in jazzish/slow songs and fast electronic!!!

GAGAdoesn'tcare | 6/16/2009, 11:16 am EST

You’re right. She doesn’t care. As long as she’s getting reactions=money for her record company and herself. That’s the whole point. Parents are the ones that get the responsibility to EXPLAIN everything but parents AREN’T the ones teaching their kids this stuff. It’s being marketed everywhere. I admit, artists shouldn’t be accused of creating these problems. But, NOT all kids are having sex so why promote it to those kids…preying on their hormones and sexualizing them may be profitable but someone needs to take responsiblity besides parents. Parents are busy making ends meet while some artists and record companies promote sex and drugs in lyrics and are making millions. Fair, no. I am not naive and I’m pretty liberal but why the direct marketing to kids. Movies have ratings but music is like the Wild West. No holds barred and it will keep getting closer to soft porn—as long as it sells? not right. these people shouldn’t be everywhere and idolized.

Michael | 6/17/2009, 12:15 am EST

she’s so stupid “I am sooooo original” really? is that why the crap you do wear and say has all been done before circa 1980+?

She reminds me of Michael Jackson. Maybe that is why we haven’t seen him for a while, he finally finished his self mutilation project and fully became the woman he wanted to be.

NEXT!

The Truth | 6/17/2009, 1:45 am EST

“hater(s)” is/are anyone who doesn’t agree with you and makes ANY kind of comment that isn’t completely ADORATION of your special person. What a crock of BULLSHIT!! Everyone has a right to their opinion and saying some person is not “the best” is not hating. FUCK YOU hater haters. People who call other people haters are haters yourselves. You’re so full of shit right up to your eyes, that you can’t see.

The Truth | 6/17/2009, 1:49 am EST

She’s actually kind of chunky isn’t she? Wait a few years…the smooth skin goes to wrinkles and the middle gets fleshy and thick, the cellulite starts to make those thick thighs ripple…

gaga's sis | 6/17/2009, 4:17 pm EST

she is just getting attention from people to become popular (it’s working) she’s another madona!
good luck gaga!!

allee!! | 6/18/2009, 9:21 am EST

i’m noy a fan but i have heard her music. for all those who said she will get fat… tha day has come!! in a u.k mag i found on a shelf instore yesterday shows a pic of gaga a couple of months ago all skinny and in good shape… now she’s let it all go.. now i don’t have the perfect shape myself but she has ballooned!!!! her thighs are massive and her belly is so flabby!!, i only hope she can lose it again coz after being so slim this will make her career crash and burn….. p.s i think she ugly anyhoo x

allee! | 6/18/2009, 9:29 am EST

she gives me the heebies!! oh my god put on some clothes and be sexy with styleeeee and pop that big head, get down to earth and be a real person. you should really see those pics taken a few weeks ago of her… she has put on so much weight!!!!!

Oh.Wow... | 6/18/2009, 5:33 pm EST

What’s up with the comment’s about Lady Gaga gaining weight? She was never a super skinny person to begin with. Actually someone with a healthy body. You people are full of crap. She’s actually talented and REFUSES to lip-synch her performances just to dance. Or for that matter, she can actually sing LIVE and DANCE at the same time…ahem**Britney, Ciara…she’s different and people are stuck in their little plain, boring shell.

Ack-Tar | 6/19/2009, 12:04 am EST

I actually find her brash arrogance refreshing. In a culture where we are forced to be good and not toot our horn, lest we stomp on someone’s toes, Lady Gaga has the figurative stones to say “Yes, I AM great.”

Good for her, and I hope she continues to succeed.

ladyblahblah | 6/19/2009, 7:31 am EST

She’s different alright, but not the in the refreshing way to me. She has no scruples. I don’t think it’s refreshing. She is a spoiled brat and I really hope people aren’t going to act like this. Suppose we all thought and did exactly as we pleased? I can tell you I’m much more fun than her just going by her interviews but I don’t have to tell people how awesome I am all the time. I don’t think she’s funny at all. She is stale, has no depth and wears outfits to show how fun she is. The word superficial comes to mind. Style over substance should be an exception, not a rule.

KR | 6/19/2009, 1:50 pm EST

The reason I love Lady Gaga is that she is completely honest in her intentions. She wants to make pure pop music, she isn’t trying to make it into something that it isn’t. The fact that she is undeniably a pop singer makes her even more of an artist, because she focuses on that kind of music instead of trying to convince the world she is something else. Better yet – she can actually sing, unlike hillbilly Britney Spears.

PS: I LOVE HER SONGS! They make me wanna party.

Paris is Burning | 6/20/2009, 5:30 pm EST

Well, aside from the fact that this young lady has little in the way of musical talent (anyone can “learn to play piano at 4″ if they are from a wealthy home, anyone can be admitted to a musical program early if they had a good, costly background….the last President, not known for his intellect, went to Harvard, don’t forget, children) she also came onto the scene where she is destined to be “notorious” (the majority of America do not know what a Lady Gaga is, sorry) for as long as BMG allows her to be, and that appears to be 15 seconds. She is being pimped out so hard core now it is obvious that the days of rich girls throwing their bling into the faces of the public are fading with every breath. She had/has a life where she can’t write about anything else. She has always come from a life of excess and comfort. That doesn’t fly in a recession. She will never be a cross over like Madonna, because Madonna made it plain, real or not, that she knew what it was like to come from the streets. That is not the same as doing shows in New York City bars….ha ha ha! That is this little girl’s definition of working your way up? I have seen this level of hate with other acts, and they never flew for long. That is because haters will look but they won’t buy. Babysitters will grow up into women. Goodbye Lady Gaga….

Paris is Burning | 6/20/2009, 5:37 pm EST

Oh, sorry it is Universal Music Group. But my stance is still the same….ha ha. She has no where else to go with her music. I bet she re-releases this one, since she cannot write about anything other than herself. Aren’t all the little fans wondering why David Bowie isn’t on speed dial to this woman? Ha ha ha ha ha!

buzz555 | 6/21/2009, 12:15 am EST

I hadn’t heard of Gaga until I saw her live performance of Just Dance on the UK’s GMTV on YouTube, and I was floored!! She has panache, style, great varied dance moves and vocal intonations. The song brings you to your feet immediately. People can sense a major star in the making, and this is the real thing.

Lulu | 6/21/2009, 2:58 pm EST

OMG! I was so waiting for Lady to appear on the UK’s GMTV, and I was sad at how oriented towards children the composition of her song seemed…..yet it was about date rape…ewww. I am 23 and David Bowie is the shizzle! I thought I might see some of that in her really scary performance. Like, even the hosts looked sad for her. Katy Perry has better dress sense than her as well, by far. Is she really a man? Because she needs some make up tips. Her dance moves are entirely composed of the robot…….lol! Poor thing. She is so sad and funny at the same time…like a clown, I would say. Little kids like her, because her songs all sound the same. The horrible reviews of her Toronto concert last night aren’t a surprise. Two hours late? And the audience was all children with a few men. I feel so SORRY for the poor girl. To be the laughing stock of the music world, yet still be pushed out there by your record company….where your only major backer is Perez Hilton is just sad. Time to buy another Grace Jones album! I can hardly wait for her to come to the UK! Meow!
Re: major stardom…..did any “major star” re release their album within a year? I think Paris is onto something. She is being exploited. But that’s the breaks, Lady. I don’t care if she becomes popular or not, because she makes me feel just sad. Le sigh.

Lauren | 6/21/2009, 3:22 pm EST

I guess I just feel sorry for her. Her record company told her she was going to be a star, the dying paper press goes along with it, and a bunch of teenagers agree. If you have to re release your first album in your first year as an “artist” than that says something about what you are perceived as…the new space age sexy times Debbie Gibson. She must have had a really sad life, because the story of a pop star is usually rags to riches. That is when you get people to love you. Not when you are an heiress to a huge estate. She just has babysitters (no insult to little girls meant) as fans. I just heard her music yesterday, and her dancing was Britney level. Too many like her in a dying industry. At least she can write songs for other people.

Brad | 6/21/2009, 3:38 pm EST

She’s okay, I guess.

Wolverine | 6/22/2009, 11:02 am EST

She is intelligent, sharp, has an amazing voice suitable for singing blues-jazz;she is bold,uncompromising and intellectual. She found a niche in kitch pop music industry and she became what mass needed her to become. She has nothing to do with scum bags like Katie Perry, Britney, Winehouse and so on; the difference is, she has a brain:)
She is actually having fun a great laugh at all jealous pussies.
This is all about the show, and show must go on.

whatevahhh | 6/23/2009, 12:10 pm EST

People get annoyed by her fans because they are always saying how much better she is than other ‘artists’. That’s her plan. She is here to try and rub everyone out and she’ll ruin music in the meantime if she has to accomplish it.

She can laugh all she wants to the bank but in the meantime, trash will breed more trash and that’s amazing.

Fourteen minutes left. Thank GAWD!

The80'sWEREawesome | 6/25/2009, 8:59 pm EST

Paparazzi chorus reminds me of Berlin’s song from the 80’s ‘Take My Breath Away’ —the verses. Do you hear that they are REALLY similar. Paparazzi is just a little sped up. Also Katy Perry’s song ‘Hot and Cold’ is a derivative of this HUGE hit in the 80’s.

This song was in the Top Gun Movie with Tom Cruise. :-) These newbies rip off the 80’s but true 80’s guru’s know what’s up!

Look it up kids!!! Then you’ll see why the stuff today is not really original. You’re getting ripped off from hearing TRUE artistic talent and REAL instruments BTW.

Take My Breath Away--Jessica S | 6/25/2009, 9:02 pm EST

Jessica Simpson covered Berlin’s Song ‘Take my Breath Away’ a few years back. Not as good as the original but not bad either.

Listen to the original first though!!! I’m sure it’s on Youtube

Lady Gaga Fan | 6/26/2009, 8:23 am EST

I’m a big fan of Lady Gaga because her style is different and her music is great. Gaga knows shes not a super model and shes completely honest in everything. The qualities of a true star!

Ofcourse Lady Gaga also has people who dont like her like every other celebirty. But really… Saying you hate her is just overreacting. Just say you dont like the way she sings or dresses then… -_-

Lady Gaga is a cool chick. The way she acts and looks is just the way she’s always been. So she’s kinda short, but trust me, she’s cute and she’s nice in person. You frickin losers should talk about people to their faces. Or come talk about my friends to me DAGO

emceebrock619 | 7/3/2009, 12:25 am EST

This blog won’t let me post. But ‘gaga’ is a real cool chick. She’s always dressed and acted like this, its the way she is. She’s actually super cute and nice (too short though!) You losers should talk about people to their faces. Or come talk about my friends to my face.

Old Whig | 7/6/2009, 9:57 pm EST

Let’s see… a young lady from a priveledged background whose parents probably alternately spoiled her and pushed her to be a progidy. She wears all the make-up because, deep down, she thinks she’s not pretty and is insecure. Hopefully, this “career” will be over relatively quickly so she can actually use her talent for something worthwhile. I hope, when she is 40, that she is writing the songs she is probably capable of writing; or maybe be the choir director at a Catholic Church. I think there may be a very good, very insecure little girl under all the make-up. THAT is what actually makes her facinating: she really wants us to love Stephani…

Gaga | 7/7/2009, 3:30 am EST

Bashers. She worked her ass off to be where she is now. So what if she looks like a man or shes ugly. I think she’s really talented.

Old whigggg | 7/7/2009, 3:36 am EST

Pffsh. You sound INSECURE. I pity people like you. At least Gaga’s making the most of her life and pretty good at it. I dont think, she cares a thing you said because you’re not on her league anyway, you’re just a jealous bitch.

Gaga’s making it big, just so you know bashers, can’t do anything about it, sorry that your lives are really sad. And yeah, I also feel bad that you’re all as ugly as her or uglier but can’t make as much as money she has.

Go GAGA!

Notfeelingit | 7/7/2009, 10:12 am EST

She is gross. Deal with it. Oh yeah, and faking being gross/dirty/edgy is worse than just being gross. It’s actually quite pathetic that she grew up in a class that many of us would have loved to have and she actually CHOSE this path for herself instead. I agree. I think she just wants people to love her but she’s making it really, rrreeeally hard. I am not going to kiss her arse. And her Stans, seriously, can kiss my arse. You are all lemmings but I know it’s all in good fun, right? Right? Please PLEEEZE tell me it’s all in good fun.

Drew | 7/10/2009, 4:01 pm EST

Goes to show where our future as a civilized society lies. These kids think Lady GaGa is real. She’s a well orchestrated, well fabricated singer whose personality is made up by record execs to be different in order to sell records. Grow up kids!

GoGoGaGa | 7/11/2009, 3:18 am EST

Listen Drew; she isn’t fabricated! In fact I know this because I am a friend of a friend of her parents. A close friend of mine knows both of her parents and has met her several times when they were together. Plus, if it was all made up she would eventually mess up in interviews and say the wrong thing, right? But it’s true, and that is why the story is always the same. Common sense Drew, common sense. Also she is not for “the kids” if anything she is for ANYONE. Have you ever heard “Pokerface”? Yeah that is about fantasizing about a girl, while in bed with a guy! So go on, let us show this to the kids, they will by all means LOVE it! So you take your little media conspiracy theory, and shove it up your ass you narrow minded stubborn douche!

GoGoGaGa | 7/11/2009, 3:23 am EST

Oh yeah and by the way, why is it uncivilized to speak of the topics she does, huh? It just goes to show that we as a society are becoming more open, and closer to each other. So what she is bisexual. So what she is practically nude! How is it affecting your life? It isn’t. So you can take all your sexist, 1940’s era ideals and shove them up your ass!

LadyGagais Business | 7/14/2009, 9:02 am EST

Lady Gaga is 99.9% business. I don’t care how well anyone knows her personally. The record company is marketing her to ANYONE they can because their goal is to make money.

You must not have kids ‘GoGoGaGa’ because then you’d see both sides to the problem here. Little Boys and Girls shouldn’t be singing about ‘Taking Rides on Disco Sticks’. Kind of makes my stomache turn. If this stayed underground like Peaches (which I listen to just so you don’t accuse me of being closed minded) then it would somehow be ok. She is a mainstream version of a dirty girl. Great for role models—no, but dammed it does sell records!

LadyGagais Business | 7/14/2009, 9:06 am EST

I forgot to add that she is .1% artist. Just to give her credit. Her goal is to become famous. For that, I do give her props.

JFingC | 7/19/2009, 6:06 pm EST

Everyone here is so wrapped up in her image that you seem to forget that the music is crap. Crap crap crap! Like all pop songs and singers.
Enough said.

The Emperor's New Clothes | 7/19/2009, 6:56 pm EST

GaGa forms yet another category, although perhaps this entry is judgmental as much as it is descriptive, for which I make no apologies:

7) Self-Hating Vacuousness: i.e. vacuousness that from the get-go tries to win points by attaching itself to (variously or simultaneously) irony/art/transgression/” infil tration” (as in infiltration of mainstream consciousness). In retrospect perhaps what set me against “Just Dance” from the very beginning was that, having to review it for In Press, I had the benefit of perusing the press release, which was totally pimping the “I’m as smart as Roisin Murphy, honestly I am!” angle. Some overlap here with the “cack-handed non-vacuousness” sub-category, although to date there’s no evidence that GaGa’s music goes even that far.

Silver | 7/25/2009, 2:41 am EST

at first i really liked her music and her whole retro space galaxy thing she had going on. she even seemed to be that much more interesting in the interviews that i watched when she first released her album. but then i was watching a recent interview of her and she toatally changed for the worse.
she not only sounded pretenious and superficial but she was using this condescending tone like she’s so much better than the interviewer and everyone around her. she comes acrosss as such a slut in her music and interviews anymore.
and now you see her in these pictures where she’s barely wearing anything.
and it goes for her clothes as well. her fashion style use to be interesting and cool but now it’s just ridiculous.
its disappointing: i thought she was really awesome.
guess thats what happen when you let your ego get really big.

Natasha | 7/25/2009, 6:37 pm EST

Horrible cover. Thought this person was mildly amusing. Now not so much.
Recent quotes from Stefani “Lady Trustfund”:

ON SEXUALITY:
“I am the most sexually free woman on the planet. If I didn’t think I had the talent to back that up, I wouldn’t have done it.”

ON PUBLIC OPINION:
“For me, more than anything, I want to do something important. It’s gotta be important. If it’s coming out of my mouth, if it’s going on my body, if it’s going on TV, it better be important.”

ON PEREZ HILTON:
“Perez Hilton is brilliant to me. Because he’s taken something that people don’t think is valid, don’t think is important, and he’s made them obsessed with it. People are obsessed with him. They’re obsessed with his site, they’re obsessed with what he does. They love him. They all love him. They love you, they hate you, what you don’t want is indifference. The day that I put a record out that nobody says a damn thing about, that’s bad.”

So this blogger is artistically important? She is a vapid idiot who has gotten by on her parents’ indulgence. The party is over, sweetheart.

Anonymous | 7/27/2009, 8:55 am EST

Let’s just say Lady Gaga opened up a can of futurist worms. People are so afraid of taking the next big step in changing how society takes in music, fashion, art, coupled nicely with the freedom to do so much more than previously allowed for the past 20 boring “Rated E for Eleventeen” years. Genuine people with extremely useful talents, who are given the chance to entertain their own way shall succeed. Those artists are less likely to be forgotten than the ones who were machined into a perfect money tree based on their looks alone.

I’m glad that I’m alive to see her show. Good write up, by the way. Likely the only artist on this planet that you don’t need to follow with a camera and a microphone to find out who she is. It’s all there in plain sight. Amazing.

shawn | 7/27/2009, 7:14 pm EST

really now…lady gaga is not intruding in ur life in any way possible. Sucks of not (which i dont think shes sucks) shes the one making money on fan, and probably her haters. If she really gave a damn about what u said she wouldnt have joined any record label. So man up and grow some dam balls, cuz she aint goin anywhere. SUCK ON DAT BITCHEZ!

wow, rly alot to this | 7/27/2009, 8:04 pm EST

I read something that said “lady gaga likes what kanye/cudi did with ‘make her say’” Here’s this song poker face, she’s talking about leading a guy on b/c she’s got it like that. But then she turns around and ‘likes’ what they did with ‘make her say’ where they’re talking about playing women. This IS the game, a girl wants to tease guys but when you talk to her just right/you got status/you look good she’ll give it up in ways you never thought possible. She likes to think she’s really deep, but she is more shallow than a sidewalk puddle. I don’t think she’s hot just for that 1 reason.

gawd | 8/1/2009, 11:11 pm EST

Lady Gaga has no respect for the female dance artists she rips off daily. At least recognize! Jeez….

Fernando | 9/14/2009, 4:33 am EST

Wow I think its official: Rolling Stone has lost any credibility they ever had with this. Holy cow. Lady Gaga is the definition of everything that is wrong with pop music. Its just disposable garbage that any idiot could come up with. The labels are just spoonfeeding kids this garbage its sad. When I was a kid it was all about Nirvana, grunge, etc. I cant imagine these kids when they are thirty and they look back on the music that was the sound track of their lives and its: Lady GaGa!? ehhh yuck. And just an FYI, the whole superficial 80’s thing burned itself out once, it will do it again real soon trust me.

Fernando | 9/14/2009, 4:39 am EST

Rolling Stone said that Nsync and Britney Spears would change music too…haha. Anyone notice that the same people they are labeling “genious” are the same people the major labels want us to buy…? sad sad sad. Man we need a Kurt Cobain now more than ever.

Fernando | 9/14/2009, 4:42 am EST

ok last comment then im done: Is it just me or is the whole retro 80’s thing getting a little stale for anyeone else? I mean its been like four five years now….its was cool for a while but now that were being bombarded with it, arent you guys a bit tired of it or am I the only one? thats why i think here longevity is going to be minimal.

Yasi | 9/15/2009, 4:34 am EST

What a lot of people don’t realize is that Lady Gaga has become yet another activist for women’s sexual freedom… she is the icon out there that says fuck you.. I sleep with both women and men and whoever I want, go ahead judge me but know that this is the double standard of society against women… no matter what we do we are judged and told we’re wrong. So thank you Gaga yet another powerful woman for not taking shit from society and doing it for yourself and for us women of the world… we need to change these shitty stereotypes. Go women

Honest | 9/16/2009, 2:49 am EST

Okay, seriously… all of you that keep bashing on her… Shut up! Just because you don’t like her doesn’t mean we care. I happen to think that she’s cool, definetly not ideal, but nothing that’s so “eeewwwww” Instead of being jealous because she was able to make herself famous and you can’t doesnt mean you have to read anything about her.

I hope she continues on her rise to the top, and I truly admire her qualities, no-bullshit attitude, and her ability to be open with herself and her fans during a period of time when people can be so judgemental. Her music is definitely catchy and brilliantly written. She’s one of my new favorite artists, and I hope to one day see her in concert.

I think it’s sad when people sit there and “bash” her music, her looks, her style, her lyrics, and her sexuality. She is who she is. She’s herself. She’s not hiding who she is, and she’s proud of her accomplishments, as she should be. Watch and see–in 10 years she’ll still be around, dressing awesome, singing beautifully, and leaving her mark in the pop industry. Lady Gaga is a force to be wreckoned with! Can’t wait to see her continue to shine!

I’m relatively OLD and I have to say that I’m surprised at how fascinated I am by Lady Gaga. She actually does have a very good voice, a lot of style and a lot of star quality. I can see why she got tagged as Lady Gaga. The similarities to Freddy Mercury are quite obvious. Shame on those who are dissing her for the size of her nose. Ridiculous! I thought that kind of judgement went out when Sandra Dee turned 40 and Barbra Streisand became a star. As for Gaga’s music, it is better or worse than that of Madonna, and just as interesting, and Madonna was quite respected in her heyday. Give Gaga a chance to blossom.
Finally, being quite the rock fan, I won’t be buying any of Gaga’s records any time soon, but I sure do enjoy watching her on TV. She’s a great entertainer!

her music and style is very unique. you have to respect her for that.
she has balls.

if you listen to her interviews she sounds very passionate about her art.

Lady Gaga is from New York..
All New Yorkers are so lucky to have such a brilliant musician, creative fashion designer and wonderful woman of very decent personality..I love you Lady Gaga..

She will out perform and entertain all female performers on today’s line-up. She is the true Musical Artist Amirica needed. She will cash in and continue to cash in for a long time to come. Haters will eventually eat thier words.

Nice to see something different…GOD bless her.

Lady Gaga is a STAR.
All universe adoring and revolving around her romance is competing to be able to say “Would you like to have this dance with me?”

Genesis | 10/30/2009, 12:37 pm EST

I don’t want her going anywhere. I want her to be around for a long time. Shes got pure talent, and she’s an artist. We need more of that. I look foward to what she’s gonna do in the future.

Dolly | 10/30/2009, 12:39 pm EST

Ha ha, i love the people who call her talentless. Do you even know the definition of the word? Because she is the exact opposite of talentless. She plays piano, she sings live, she designs her own clothes, stages, and she writes her own music. I’d like to see those of you calling her talentless doing all of that AND making it a hit. She’s got a bright future, I just hope she doesn’t mess it up by turning into a druggie.

I Love Lady Gaga!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Gaga is one of the most overrated acts in mainstream music today. She has almost no talent and definitely focuses more on her crazy outfits than her actual music. I\’m sick of seeing and hearing her wherever I go! Being influenced by Queen and David Bowie? Please! No one will give a crap about her in a few years!

This album is sticking another lifesaving funnel into the swamp of prejudice, greed, intolarance, cruelty which has been engulfing love, compassion, and dignity of humanity…That stinky swamp used to batten on the monsters “fears” of its victims and trap them by fiddling with their fears..It is high time for those martyrs to revive, abandon this burden of phobia together with the swamp itself and find their ways out through these enlightening funnels.

avictim | 11/15/2009, 11:51 am EST

It is, for sure, the only one piercing the heart of the monster of monsters.

yoyo! | 11/17/2009, 6:10 pm EST
