How on earth could we pick any other artist to be our star of the year in 2009 other then GaGa? Well you’re right, we could have picked Michael Jackson, but let’s face it, he didn’t do anywhere near as much as Gaga, except of course, dying. But I don’t think that counts.
Anyway, before you all get the hump because I’ve said something slightly Jacko-Unfriendly (ouch!) let’s get down to the business of why on earth I’ve picked this wacky wardrobe monster was my singer of the year.
Whilst you can be forgiven for moaning; ‘…but GaGa arrived with The Fame in 2008?’ I would like to point out that it’s been these past 12 months that have seen the crazy Yank find her rightful place on magazine covers and number one spots all over the world.
After the success of "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", everyone wanted to get on her gravy train, and she has been here, there and everywhere in recent months - from pretending to commit suicide at awards shows and flashing what looked like her ‘penis’ during a festival appearance, to showing up to meet our Queen in the most ghastly red outfit you’ve ever seen in your life.
Lady GaGa is the new princess of pop, and she’s without a doubt the queen of publicity stunts - thanks mainly to her unique, erm, ‘fashion’ sense and her semi-nude, wearing only plastic bubbles, cover of the annual 'Hot 100' issue of Rolling Stone in May 2009. Brilliant.
Whilst we could ramble on about her until we’re blue in the face, I think it’s pretty clear that GaGa was THE standout performer of 2009.. I know I loved watching her. And we truly can’t wait to see what she does in 2010.
