Live Interview With Lady Gaga
Just a couple of hours ago Lady Gaga did a live interview with ShowStudio. Click here to view photos and read the transcript. Some of the quotes below:
Quote:
Alexander Fury: Traditionally pop stars engage in one-way communication with their fans, but your relationship with your “little monsters” is more like a digital conversation: is this a conscious or instinctual gesture? — Asked by Vikram Alexei Kansara, New York.
Lady Gaga: Instinctual. I am the way I want to be with my fans. We have a very special and honest relationship. It’s almost comical to talk about. Just the other day, I revealed to my fans that my grandpa was sick, and the next day I went to say hello to my fans on Twitter and saw there were all of these lovely messages from them. That has nothing to do with my music or my clothes, that’s just pure friendship. My new album that I’m creating, that is finished pretty music, was written with this new instinctual energy. My fans protect me, it’s now my destiny to protect them.

Quote:
Alexander Fury: Warhol is such a big influence in your work, and Madonna is as well. How is it having a personal relationship with her now? After all she did know Warhol, and I think we can state he’s your biggest influence. Meeting you for 1 minute was so surreal (you gave me an autograph after a concert.) I can’t even imagine having a personal relationship with someone I adore so much. How do you feel when someone not only so iconic, but also such a big personal influence, is suddenly an accessible person? – Asked by Laurent James, Antwerp, Belgium.
Lady Gaga: Madonna is a wonderful wonderful person. She is so full of the most wonderful freedom and spirit, and is so kind. Working with her has always been very exciting and very fun. We have shared some wonderful honest moments together. She comes to my shows, I’ve asked her questions, she give me advice. It’s been my experience in the industry that I’ve connected on a much deeper level with the more iconic and legendary people that I have admired, and not with any of my contemporaries. The one things the legends all; have in common are that they are the nicest human beings I have ever met. As a segue-way from knowing, and meeting and loving Madonna it has allowed me to meet amazing, wonderful iconic people. By meeting these people, I have discovered myself. My freedom. My security. Myself.

Alexander Fury: What is your attitude towards collaboration with peers in the pop music scene? Is it an idea which scares, excites, or even interests you? – Asked by Graham Conway, Toronto.
Lady Gaga: At this moment, I don’t want to do any collaborations, especially contemporary ones. I want to stand on my own two feet. This new album is my chance to create what in 20 years will be seen as my iconic moment. That’s what you should always aim at. Today, collaborations are about appealing to a wider market and gaining radio plays and album sales, above artistic integrity. I collaborated with Beyonce because I love her. She is my favourite contemporary pop musician.

(She talked about Bey a lot more, it wasn't included in the transcript)
Quote:
Alexander Fury: Did you miss having a ‘Lady Gaga’ in the 90s, while you were a teenager, to be a fan of and to identify with? – Asked by Raíssa Venticinque, California.
Lady Gaga: No. I suppose I didn’t know what a Lady Gaga was. I always knew it was my destiny to be an entertainer, but I was ready to be the new thing. I admired the women I grew up watching, the pop stars – Britney, Christina, Madonna, Blondie and Patti Smith. And Linda Perry, and 4 Non Blondes. I could go on and on. Around when I was 13 I started to listen to older music, like Zepplin, Queen, Pink Floyd. I was much more obsessed with male rock stars – Bowie in particular.

Gaga's such an adorable and smart woman! And she said the new album is almost finished!

My best friend Jordan and I sent this one in that got asked!!!!! 
Quote:
Alexander Fury: What is the craziest outfit you’ve seen worn by one of your monsters at The Monster Ball? – Asked by Jordan Holloway, Morgantown, WV.
Lady Gaga: They’re all so great! They get all dressed up and sometimes it’s so distracting! One of my favourites – which was quite committed – this boy came dressed as Kermit the Frog. I guess he wanted me to think my boyfriend was in the audience, as that’s when I was dating Kermit. He was so committed – it was so hot! There have been so many, they’re all amazing – I couldn’t possibly choose one, they’re all so wonderful! But he really suffered for his moment.

So pumped!!

Alexander Fury: Name one song when it comes on the radio you sing along to, but you are embarrassed that you like it, so nobody knows? – Asked by Quentin Tarantino, Los Angeles, California.
Lady Gaga: That Taylor Swift song – ‘You Belong To Me’ – I sing it so loud, and I’m so embarrassed! Because I sing it so loud. But it’s a great song!

she is very very very intelligent! she understands the music business like no other popstar. i think that's mostly what brings her closer to Madonna.

I think she looked really happy and natural. She was just bored and unhappy with the interviewer who was very rude with typing. That wasn't his fault tho. ShowStudio should've hired another person to type that out or just do it after the interview.

Why doesn't she just wear hair extensions when she wants her hair to look long? her real hair is beautiful.

I love her.  And the fact she puts Britney at a high level, shows her respect. I've always had 50/50 thoughts on GaGa's longevity, but more and more recently she makes me think she'll be here forever.  And the new album being practically finish + new energy April 18th, here I come
