Share:

When Lady Gaga, before being known by that name, went to college, some of her teammates created a Facebook group: "Stefani Germanotta, You Will Never Be Famous".Yes, Stefani is the real name of Lady Gaga.And, according to the legend, the group, which can still be traced in the search engines of Google and Facebook, was real and was done years before the young artist jump to fame to fame.

Today, with a career more than laureate behind him, Lady Gaga returns to the numbers one with "Love for Sale", his jazz album with Tony Bennett.And we review their history of overcoming from that young man to which the "haters" criticized, to become a diva that continues to make history.

A STAR HAS BEEN BORN.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known by her artistic name Lady Gaga, was born on March 28, 1986 in Lenox Hill (Manhattan, New York), within a Catholic home.

Stefani is the oldest of the two daughters of marriage made up of Joseph Anthony Germanotta and Cynthia Louise Bissett.And through its veins it runs Italian blood and, to a lesser extent, Franco-Canadian.

From a very young age he felt the call of music, because with only four years he learned to play the oed piano, he loved to participate in school musicals and, thirteen, he already made up his first songs.

At sixteen he began acting live trying, without success, in different castings.He had a complicated adolescence and youth, in which eating disorders played bad passes: "I have fought against bulimia and anorexia since the age of 15," he confessed on his Little Monster website.

And, although he began studying interpretive arts at the university, he did not finish studies.Instead, he decided to focus on "haters" who had created, according to bad languages, that Facebook group.

"People asked me why noses was so orange, why I combed like this, that if it was a lesbian, why I had to wear those pints to go to class ... They called me fox, and this and that and that.Many times I didn't want to go to class, ”he confessed in an interview for Rolling Stone.

That is not all, because it went through much more harder experiences: "At 19 they violated me repeatedly," he confessed for Elle magazine in 2019.And he also added: "My career has traumatized me in different ways over the years ... but I survived and moved on".

Despite the pitfalls, Stefani, even before being Lady Gaga, did not stop interpreting his own songs in the New York night, accompanied by piano.And, at the same time that the records rejected their models, the young woman made up songs for other artists and groups among them for Britney Spears or The Pussycats Dolls.

The monster of fame.

Ero, when they were on the way with producer Rob Fusari, love and music, they shake hands in a bifurcation towards a promising future.It was with him with whom Stefani became called Lady Gaga, in honor of "Radio Gaga" of Queen (one of his musical influences).

He also associated with another artist, Lady Starlight, and together they created a show with influences from the cabaret and the burlesque, avant -garde and daring, which almost seemed a prelude to the image that Gaga would have in the future: "Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue".

Thanks to his resilience and perseverance, Stefani was making his way.Together with producers such as Martin Kierszenbaum or Redone and, of course, Fusari, the artist began working in what would be her first album, "The Fame" (2008), who saw the light just when her relationship with the latter cooled with the latter.

His "Just dance" debut was number one in the United States and other countries soon.We owe that album as mythical issues as "Poker Face", which also led the lists and had a great and unexpected success, "paparazzi" or "Lovegame".

From his dark experiences with fame the second part was born, "The Fame Monster", an EP in which, in addition to songs like "Alejandro" or "Telephone", he had one of his most mythical songs: "Bad Romance".

Thus, the indelible star we all know was born, Stefani would go down in history being remembered as Lady Gaga, although there everything was starting.And the rest is already history.You just have to review your albums.

In addition to "The Fame" (2008), "Born This Way" (2011), "Artpop" (2013), "Cheek to Cheek" (2014) with Tony Bennet, "Joanne" (2016), "A Star is Born"(2018) of the movie" Shallow "in which he was the leading actress," Chromatica "(2020) and" Love for Sale "(2021) again with Tony Bennet complete, together with EPS and compilations, her laureate discography in thethat great prizes like Oscar and Grammy are not missing.

Always accompanied by its extravagant image, empowering what the “bullying” suffered: be different.That is why he created the term "Little Monsters" for his fans and for all those who identify with her.

Loves for sale.

Others, the actress, who has confessed to suffering from fibromyalgia with chronic pain and post-traumatic stress, has always launched a message of resilience and struggle: “That child, and even that adult, who is there and has gone through so much, I want them to knowThey can get ahead, ”Elle told Elle.

He has also broken stigmas about mental illnesses: "There is a lot of shame around them, but it is important that you know that there is hope and possibilities of recovering," he said for the "Born This Way Foundation" (an NGO that she founded).

As for their love relationships, in addition to Fusari, there were others.After the producer, Gaga was with the manager Luc Carl, with whom he ended in 2011 despite having been committed to him.In between, it was an interrupted romance, it was related to the actor and businessman Speedy Gonzales (friend of Stefani from childhood) and with the designer Matthew Williams.

Later he was with actor Taylor Kinney, with whom he also got committed, but broke in 2015;With agent Christian Carino (they committed themselves but cut in 2018), and, finally, with the entrepreneur Michael Polansky, since the end of 2019.

But his love above all is music, that for which he never stopped fighting despite the "bullying" and the "noes" on the way.And, once again, it shows that they were wrong, when they arrived at Top 10 with "Love for Sale" with Tony Bennet in the Billboard 200, and to number one in the Jazz lists.

The album was presented by the artist before its premiere with a “streaming” performance in collaboration with Westfield shopping centers.The inauguration of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, its collaboration with the Dom Pérignon wines or a new eye shadow palette, are other recent events of an unstoppable artist.

Meanwhile, in social networks it is still a number one.On Instagram, where he has 49.5 million followers, his last 5 post exceeded 3.100 million interactions (3.130.178 according to an article from Infobae on October 12).One of them is the promotional poster of "House of Gucci", the new Ridley Scott film in which Gaga has a leading role.

Thus, Lady Gaga is still at the top, indelible, despite all those who tried to demotivate her and after all the potholes she had to overcome.Because sometimes, being a monster is, far from a defect, a virtue: that of having been born star.
