Do you know who Stefani Germanotta
is Perhaps not, but you’ll almost certainly
know the star called Lady Gaga, who has
been gaining wide popularity.
The 24-year-old American, famous for her cutting edge (前卫的) pop videos and strange fashion sense, was the biggest winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid on November 7. She won three awards including best female artist and best song, for Bad Romance.
Her popularity doesn’t end there. The BBC reports that the University of South Carolina has a sociology course dedicated to the life, work and rise to fame of Lady Gaga. The course is due to start in spring 2011. “We’re going to look at Lady Gaga as a social event, ” said Professor Mathieu Deflem, who will teach Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame.
So who is the woman behind the huge wigs (假发) and layers of makeup
Germanotta, in fact, is a college dropout. She learned to play the piano by age 4. At age 17, she was one of the only 20 young people to get early admission to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, the well-known music school.
Yet after her second semester, she took a big risk—she decided to quit and concentrate on a music career. But how did she manage to go from nowhere to super star in just two years
She may well have had a plan for the top. She created “The Ultimate Pop Burlesque (滑稽的) Show” with another artist. It was the first of many strange images. The pair gained enough attention to get a spot at a famous music festival in Chicago. Their set brought down the house and within months, a record company signed Germanotta.
While Lady Gaga enjoys popularity, there are critics who accuse her of regularly using crude (粗俗的) language in her lyrics and wearing overly sexy clothing. Famous British music producer Mike Stock told The Guardian that he believed today’s children were being “sexualized” as a result of images from the pop industry.
