So who has "inspired" Lady Gaga?

I think, Kerli, Bjork, Madonna and Cascada.

madonna, britney, david bowie, freddie mercury

This will get messy real quick.

at Cascada. She rips Gaga off, actually.

Katy Perry and Rihanna.

at this thread being reported within 30 seconds.

Why is the such a touchy topic? Unless there is something to be ashamed of.....

Madonna, Britney, Grace Jones, Cyndi Lauper, Porcelain, Beyonce, Cher, Xtina, Roisin Murphy

So in conclusion... everyone.

I hope this is a joke.

Madonna, Grace Jones, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and Elton John come to mind first. Those are all in-your-face inspirations, but she definitely has other subtle inspirations.

What an inspired topic!

Björk
Grace Jones
Madonna
Britney
David Bowie
Freddie Mercury
Andy Warhol
Marilyn Monroe
Gwen Stefani
