Is this the same one Gaga won this year or last year or something?
Anyway the competition seems stiff but I think she will get it. Queen of pop

Gaga was the first to win a Contemporary Icon Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. I don't think she was necessarily inducted into it.

She was among the nominees for 2014 as well, but she didn't get inducted. Let's hope she gets inducted this time around. She really deserves it.

Nice!
Hopefully soon she can join the ranks of other legends such as Clive Davis, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Frank Sintara, Paul Simon and Lady Gaga.

The Contemporary Icon Award was established in 2015 to recognize songwriter-artists who attained an iconic status in pop culture.
Very impressive for a young artist.
Anyway, best of luck to Madonna! I'm expecting her to get this one!

A mess. Why the monsters have to make everything about Gaga, even when it doesn't have to do anything with her
