She's respected now.

girl you is going to make some girls mad with that quote

Lol

She's the one and only Queen of Pop, that's why.

Congrats to Gaga, but let's NOT forget that these polls are open for everyone to vote, and just like with Award Shows that work with votes, most of the voters are stans... like

A member of 2NE1 is winning the Poll of the Most Influential artist, so there's that .. Other stats:

1.3% Oprah Winfrey
1.6% Taylor Swift

This poll is just

No one can deny the impact of that Oscar performance it may even be her most memorable performance ever Who would have thought she would top that Paparazzi performance with no gimmick.

I don't think the GP cares, let alone goes out of their way to vote on these things online. This is all the doing of hardcore, devoted, loving, dedicated online stan bases. It's why Beyonce and Lady Gaga have such a high "yes" percentage and all other pop stars have such a high "no" percentage.

I'm not pressed, and I like both Beyonce and Gaga, but I think this is the truth.

It's the same reason 5th Harmony won best new artist at the VMAs. The Directioners voted like crazy to prevent 5 Seconds of Summer from winning.

Too bad she can't get these people to purchase her last album.

She's no longer leading the poll anyway.

And that's the truth tea right there

So who bought the 2M+ ARTPOP copies and 1M+ C2C copies? Angela Cheng?

Because she is an influential Queen.

Some Gaga stan discovered the poll and, like the roaches they are, spammed it with votes.

djkalkj;iap

They act like ARTPOP sold 700/800k WW

OT: Congrats to Gaga

I think Beyonce won this last year, I wonder who will win this year.

It looks like it'll be CL from 2NE1.

Hopefully this influential thing will get her far

This poll is all about stans being perched on Time website hitting refresh or creating multiple accounts

An idol from K-Pop group and Gaga leading... the power of rabid fanbases

Anyway, voted for Angela Merkel, Dalai Lama and Apple CEO Tim Cook
