Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and businesswoman. She is known for her consistent image reinventions and versatility in both music and entertainment.

The Fame (Monster) [2008 – 2010]

We will stop right there because Lady Gaga has been a persistent presence in our lives since 2008 when she broke through with her album “The Fame,” which featured two #1 songs (“Just Dance” and “Poker Face”) and two top ten songs (“Love Game” and “Paparazzi”) followed by supplemental EP that featured three more top tens (“Bad Romance,” “Telephone” [with Beyoncé], and “Alejandro”).

2008 – 2010 was a dizzying time for Lady Gaga as she catapulted from an unknown to a worldwide superstar seemingly overnight. Every appearance and every sitting featured her in a new outfit designed to keep her name in the news.

Born This Way [2011]

She built on her credibility with fans (especially young gay fans) with the release of “Born This Way” whose self-titled single shot to #1 on the charts and embraced the diversity of all stripes but none more than the LGBTQ community who embraced the song as our own.

Artpop, Cheek To Cheek, Joanne [2013 – 2016]

By 2013, she released the uneven “Artpop,” which while filled with more dance anthems — was conceptually overthought, and the build-up to its release was a bit of disappointment but fans remained by her side.

She quickly followed up the next year with a duets album with the classic crooner Tony Bennett on “Cheek To Cheek” album which garnered positive reviews and netted the pair Grammy for “Best Traditional Pop Album.” It was precisely at this moment the world knew there was more to this woman than a piano, persona, and good voice — rather mad talented.

A Star Is Born [2018]

Lady Gaga followed up with “Joanne” a more personal album that achieved mild success. Two years later she was reborn as the leading lady in the remake of the movie classic “A Star Is Born” opposite Bradley Cooper. The movie opened to rave reviews and its lead single “Shallow” (a duet with Bradley Cooper) reached #1 on the Hot 100 chart.

In 2015 her live performance at the Oscar’s singing a medley of songs from the “Sound of Music” soundtrack, generated rave reviews because it showcased her vocal diversity like no other. The woman is truly a force within the industry.

Chromatica [2020]

With the release of the stellar “Chromatica,” 2020 has been a stellar year of Lady Gaga with the return to her dance roots which generated one of the biggest songs of the summer, and the year “Rain On Me” with Ariana Grande.

Personal life

Lady Gaga has been very open about her battle with depression — something this writer can personally empathize with. The tendency to battle through the most trying times and then pull back before diving in again is a common theme for many though pulling back has never been an option for me. I hope that after she finishes all the promotion and video releases for her current album — she’s able to take the necessary time off to regenerate and maintain a semblance of normality in her life.

It’s with much love and respect that Party Favorz for a third time honors the unbelievably talented and beautiful soul, Miss Lady Gaga into the Diva Hall of Fame where she holds her rightful place. ENJOY!

I thought it would be apropos to bookend Katy Perry with Lady Gaga, since they both crashed onto the scene at relatively the same time. Like Katy, I had mixed feelings about Lady G. I didn’t quite get the hysteria over her. Yes, I liked Just Dance and Poker Face but just wasn’t overwhelmed by her. It wasn’t until Love Game and Paparazzi came out that I began to have a better appreciation of her skills, not just as a writer or singer but as a performer. By the time Bad Romance dropped, all bets were off and I was solidly in her corner.

No doubt, the comparisons between Lady Gaga and Madonna were inevitable (if not overblown) and started a ridiculous flame war between both camps and their followers. While working on the various Diva Series the past several weeks, something became apparent to me. THEY ALL BORROW FROM THE PAST!

Just look at all the pictures and photo spreads from Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and on down the line. Madonna was the obvious person to imitate because they likely grew up with her. But even Madge has borrowed significantly from the past to create her persona and if you ask me THEY ALL SHOULD BE BOWING DOWN AT THE ALTER OF GRACE JONES who’s in your face sexual androgyny was raising eyebrows and ire well before some of these latter-day divas were even born.

That being said, the notion that Born This Way is a direct rip-off of Express Yourself should be put to rest. If it was, Madonna would have every reason to sue for copyright infringement but at the end of the day, it’s nothing more than fantastical bullshit conjured up by some blogger who wanted to start a flame war between the two groups of fans. THEY SOUND NOTHING ALIKE!

If I had any criticism at all of Lady Gaga. it would be that she has a responsibility as a hugely admired public figure with a very devoted and loyal following to tamper any death threats or otherwise directed towards others who seek to criticize her. With fame comes responsibility and while I applaud her for using that fame as a positive force in others’ lives, she should equally use it to help tamper down and squelch any comments from her “little monsters” that could lead to consequential actions.

At the end of the day, Lady Gaga is the shit and I can’t wait to see how she evolves as an artist in the future. I have no doubt she will continue to be a force and standard-bearer in her own right over the coming years. It is with great pleasure that Party Favorz inducts Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta a.k.a. Lady Gaga into the Diva Hall of Fame.

Until the next time…ENJOY!
