But some of us may momentarily forget that if it makes good marketing and headlines, a Nielsen and syndicated ratings gusher, so who's to question the motives of the press and headline makers.
The largest misconception is that Lady Gaga is a persona or a character. I'm not - even my mother calls me Gaga. I am 150,000 percent Lady Gaga every day." Stefani declared to Rolling Stone in 2009.
In 2010, just when Lady Gaga's fame was soaring, Rolling Stone did an interview that was titled "Bitter Fantasies and Epic Ambition of the Biggest Pop Star in the World".
Lady Gaga or now Stefani Germanotta did a 180 and in the early part of the interview while screening a videotape of her performance attempts to state she is Stefani all the time with Lady Gaga showing up some of the time. "
"It's just me, and people will see that what's underneath everything is still me …OK, so there's still a little Lady Gaga there" Rolling Stone deadpans into the next line "The former Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is on a mission: to prove that Lady Gaga is art"
Neil Strauss quotes her as saying she is a "free bitch" and then he explains the context as Lady Gaga wanting the same for her audience "and the audience should be too: free not just of society's pressures to conform but also of letting the men in their lives control or define them. She sees her audience as a collection of mini versions of her socially."
Rolling Stone plays up Lady Gaga's sexual conquests with men when revealing a side of her personality "When she uses words like 'fierce' or describes her sexual conquests of beautiful men, one sees why the hermaphrodite rumors about her have been so persistent she seems, at times, like a gay man trapped in a woman's body."
