“It means everything, I’m not only flattered but really excited - it makes me want to work harder, make better videos and better shows and better music all the time,” she told MTV.com.
Lady Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - revealed that her dramatic performance at the Video Music Awards was a high point in her year.
“My performance at the VMAs, for me, was a turning point artistically,” she said.
“I always dreamed about being a performer on the MTV awards. More importantly, I wanted to be a performer, and I wanted my VMA performance to be my ground-breaking, life-changing performance. So everything that I’d been working on was leading up to that moment, and then after that I gave birth to this new album, The Fame Monster. It was an amazing moment for me.”Weird but wonderful — Lady Gaga’s distinctive style gets her noticedIn a year in which female celebs have hogged the headlines with stories of meltdown and turmoil, Lady Gaga is a refreshing and upbeat change.Albeit an oddly-packaged one.Her weird but fabulous outfits are as much part of her act as the music.
