Talk:Lady Gaga

Born This Way (song)

Gaga has released the song! The article is still saying that she "Will" release it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.99.187.217 (talk) 17:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Where? The one sentence I see talks about the album being released at a future date, not the single. —C.Fred (talk) 17:57, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

"Its arrival will follow the release of its lead single on February 11, 2011.[84] The previous date for the single release of February 13, 2011, was tweeted by Gaga at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day, 2011". It's already released! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.153.36.111 (talk) 08:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't think that "Its arrival follows the release of its lead single…" makes that big of a difference in the text. Remember, the album has not been released yet. —C.Fred (talk) 20:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Filmography? You know you want to!

See Gwen Stefani's filmography on her article here.
Gwen's article is an FA... we could go by such an example on this page?

Edit request from Jayjoanz, 14 February 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} Please add the following information to the "Public Image" section of Lady Gaga's page:

Lady Gaga's public perception is always amongst the most controversial of topics in popular culture. Debate about her style and influence on youth stems from her unceasing desire to walk the thin line between daring and inappropriate. The pop stars ability to command the attention of her fans and critics is unmatched and with a growing list of hit records she has solidified herself as a marketable brand. Her 2.8 million Twitter followers and 5.2 million Facebook fans represent evidence of her ability to move product (Hampp, 2010). With opposing ideals about the negative or positive impact of her music, fashion, and public statements there is little question that the benefits of her talent outweigh the detriments. Her fan base and customer base are similar in nature because they are both drawn to her outspoken and outrageous personality (Hampp, 2010).

I think that section already basically says that. Also, we don't list how many Twitter followers and Facebook followers a person has because there's no way to really verify that information -- are those real people? Are there any sockpuppet accounts? Anyway, the article basically says all that already. Banaticus (talk) 06:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Drug-taking?

Shouldn't something be said about her drug taking. She admitted it on her CBS 60 Minutes interview that she smokes A LOT of pot while writing music, while drinking whiskey. It's mentioned on other musician's articles, so why not here? --90.193.141.136 (talk) 18:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm surprised her former cocaine habit isn't mentioned here as well, seeing as she's talked about it in multiple places now (60 Minutes, Vanity Fair). 128.163.242.6 (talk) 11:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

1986–2004: Early life

Lady Gaga was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, to an Italian American family, in New York City on March 28, 1986,[11]

...in Yonkers. NY...

Yonkers is it's own city and not part of New York City, it is located in Westchester County, not one of the five boroughs. Cvachov (talk) 00:37, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: Per the cited source, "Birth Place: New York, NY."[1] It does not state Yonkers. If you check the talk page history, you'll also see that this issue has been researched and discussed at end, and established consensus is that she was not born in Yonkers. —C.Fred (talk) 01:00, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Early Management requested addition

Frank Fredericks, a fellow freshman at NYU, recognized Stefani's talent when they competed against each other in a campus talent show. Fredericks began managing Stefani in the Spring of 2005, booking her shows at the nearby club the Bitter End. They worked together for over year, until she began working with producer Rob Fusari.

Wax Statue

Why No Mention of it? 121.207.110.24 (talk) 10:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a citation for it? FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  16:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Lady Gaga had eight wax statues unveiled in December 2010[2] but I'm not sure whether the article needs to mention this on WP:NOTNEWS grounds.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Note: Section heading Gay Icon should be Gay icon. Read WP:Section caps. 74.231.46.68 (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
