March 28 is lady gaga's 33rd birthday. Took the Grammys, took the Oscars, took the Golden Globes... The number one single was also in the pocket, and the past year must have been a rich and important stage in gaga's life. (Editor: Du Mingwei)
With "A Star Is Born," Lady Gaga said with tears in her eyes on this year's Oscar podium:
"If you're at home and you're lying on the couch watching this awards ceremony, I want to say that I've been working on it all for a long, long time.
Getting this award is not what I won, but what I didn't give up.
If you have a dream too, fight for it. What matters during this process is not how many times you've been rejected, how many times you've fallen, or how many times you've been hit.
It's the number of times you stand up bravely, and the persistence you keep standing to the end. ”
With the continuous praise of the film at the box office, the somewhat "passed" Thunder man gaga seems to have begun to appear in the topic of everyone's discussion.
The image is out of place, the lyrics are subversive, and it can always create amazing topics. Even if you are indifferent to pop music, you will certainly not be unfamiliar with the name lady gaga, as well as the brainwashing and thunder man costumes from the album "The Fame" from ten years ago.
"The Birth of a Star", as Gaga's first film of profound significance to her acting career, also reflects many secrets that are not known on the road to the birth of her own star.
Lady Gaga was born in 1986 to a Catholic family of average Italian descent in Manhattan, New York, USA. Even though she has had a musical talent since she was a child, similar to Ellie in the movie, this has not brought much luck.
In high school, she was often bullied, and female classmates even set up a 12-person Facebook group to taunt, and the group name was "Stephanie (gaga real name) will never succeed."
Even though she was admitted early to the Musicology Department at New York University at the age of 17, her teachers still ridiculed her for her mediocre appearance and difficulty in achieving great things.
In order to pursue a real musical dream and not be influenced by others, the 19-year-old Gaga insisted on dropping out of school, going to bars to play and compose, recording works of various genres, and sending them to the top companies in the music industry.
Sometimes the effort does not get an immediate reward, but the result of gaga and so on is pain. At the age of 19, she spent the darkest moment of her life — being unspoken by music producers.
But Gaga used actions to interpret what is the spirit of not accepting defeat, and in the early days, because of the 155cm shape in the circle, she took a unique path and took the side of the sword, breaking out of a "grotesque makeup" road that ordinary people could not understand.
"Poker face" mv shape
The gaga wrapped in disco masks and suggestive latex jumpsuits is both provocative, and she is also feminist in Poker Face.
《just dance》 mv
In the MV of "Just Dance", Lady Gaga is shown for the first time as a white-haired witch in the style of donatella versace, and she also pays tribute to David Bowie's lightning eye makeup.
When you think of Bad Romance, you have to think of mcqueen. Gaga can be said to have used a whole mv to show love to her favorite designer, and the crown, armadillo shoes and veil have become classics.
Gaga and Beyonce's two major divas have joined forces to make "Telephone" a 9-minute music video that makes this song a new classic in the 21st century.
The mugler suits, prison suits and American flag suits that appear in the mv of the fashion blockbuster have become classic images of contemporary pop culture.
In the grotesque shapes of early musical works, lady gaga almost draped everything that could not be worn, shattering the appearance of an actress who "should have" in the eyes of ordinary people.
The courage in this musical work is reflected in attending various events and life, and still needs to find some unsatisfactory words to forgive her: "After all... This is gaga".
For example, this fluorescent jellyfish set?
For example, the retro style of "Japanese improvement" in this? There is also a heavy umbrella that resembles both a conch and a mushroom, is it to express the expectation of being in close contact with nature all the time?
As for the meat slices, i guess no matter how magical the fashion editors are, they can't explain the inspiration for this piece of fat flowers one by one. Lei Ren's shape and scale have made her criticized, and the controversy has never stopped. However, under the criticism of the crowd, gaga won the spotlight.
News brought visibility, musical talent has had the opportunity to gain recognition, and gradually won a vote of fan support. This also allows Lady Gaga to appear on a more diverse stage - the fashion show.
Leather jumpsuits, a high-heeled platform that is almost higher than the calves of Victoria's Secret angels, gaga, as a guest of victoria's secret stage, seems to be a little low-key compared with usual.

And our gaga has really become inseparable from the fashion circle, except for wearing alexander mcqueen's red dress, giorgio armani prive to create a dress for it...
It should be the moment you personally walked on the Marc Jacobs runway at New York Fashion Week 2016.
The method of winning eyeballs will not last long, and it is difficult to imagine how quickly people like the new and dislike the old.
Time to pull back to today's "The Birth of a Star", experienced the entertainment industry's red half of the sky, suffered a sharp decline in record sales, negative news frequently, today's ladygaga began to remove the disguised armor and mask, to find the girl who purely loved music.
Removing the heavy makeup of various role-playing like oil paints, we have more opportunities to see a gaga that can be described as a 30-year-old woman who can be described as elegant and capable.
In 2018, brandwatch, a social media popularity statistics agency, released a list of the most influential women. Lady Gaga ranked tenth with an impact index of 94.
In the "Forbes 2018 Global Top 100 Highest Paid Celebrities - Female Singers Income" list, GAGA ranked 4th with $50 million.
In her ever-changing attire colleagues, Gaga's influence is also growing.
Those exaggerated appearances are sometimes like a declaration, a kind of resistance, rebellion against the so-called star design, against the right to social discourse or hegemony in the hands of "majority" and "men".
In a documentary called "Gaga: Five Feet Two Inches," Lady Gaga once said:
"If they want me to show off sexiness,
Be a pop icon,
I'll add some grotesque style myself,
That way I feel like I still have control. ”
Rather than caring about the majority, gaga is more willing to care for the "minority" and speak up for the "minority".
At the 2016 Oscars, Gaga shared the stage with ordinary people who had also suffered sexual assault and sang "Till it happens to you" .
In 2010, GAGA called out to Obama against gay bullying.
In 2011, gay marriage was legalized in New York State, and Gaga first issued a status: "We succeeded!" ”
The appearance is bright to crazy, and as a pop idol, it has become a symbol of the times. But like her often grotesque outfits and makeup that can be cleared at any time, Gaga has many faces to face all misfortunes.
It is such a gaga, the physical condition is several degrees too bad to support the normal performance, in 2018 the lady gaga team announced on social platforms that due to "fibromyalgia" lady gaga's last ten concerts in Europe had to be cancelled.
As early as 2017, lady Gaga announced her temporary retirement from the music scene due to illness to recuperate her body.
Not only does she suffer from fibromyalgia, in 2010 she admitted that she was found to have hereditary lupus erythematosus and tested positive for blood. This is an immune disease whose cause is still unknown, and it is still a problem in world medicine.
In addition to her physical condition, the twists and turns of the emotional road are frequently ridiculed by netizens and the media, "Don't take it seriously, engagement is like a child's play for her"...
But it is also her courage and strength to treat everything in life in this way, which affects the people around her, making everyone more courageous to face the disasters or violence in life.
Ten years after her debut, perhaps many people have such a changing impression of her, "at first I thought she was strange, and then I loved her so much that I couldn't help myself." ”
On March 28, 2019, today's lady gaga is 33 years old, and while wishing her a happy birthday, she also believes that there are still countless possibilities for her in the future.
And there will be countless "gagas" of different races and different countries in this world who can face everything that she always has to have and experience in life as calmly as she does.
