 I'm not, though. You're reading all of my posts as if I'm screaming or something and I'm not.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒərməˈnɒtə/ ste-fə-nee jər-mə-not-ə; born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American recording artist, activist, record producer, businesswoman, fashion designer, philanthropist, and actress. Born and raised in New York City, where she lives,[2] Gaga primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She soon began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side. By the end of 2007, record executive and producer Vincent Herbert signed her to his label Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. Initially working as a songwriter at Interscope Records, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who also signed her to Kon Live Distribution, his own label under Interscope.
Gaga rose to prominence with her August 2008 debut album, The Fame, which was a critical and commercial success. The record included the international number-one tracks "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". In November 2009, her extended play, The Fame Monster, was released to a similar reception, and produced the hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone", and "Alejandro". Its accompanying Monster Ball Tour became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Gaga's second album, Born This Way, was released in May 2011 and topped albums charts in most major markets. It generated chart-topping songs "Born This Way", "Judas", and "The Edge of Glory". Her third album, Artpop, was released in November 2013. It was preceded by singles "Applause" and "Do What U Want".
Influenced by David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Queen, Gaga is recognized for her flamboyant, diverse, and outré contributions to the music industry through her fashion, performances, and music videos. As of November 2013, she had sold an estimated 24 million albums and 125 million singles worldwide and her singles are some of the best-selling worldwide.[3][4] Her achievements include five Grammy Awards and 13 MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga has consecutively appeared on Billboard magazine's Artists of the Year (scoring the definitive title in 2010), ranked fourth in VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women in Music, is the fourth best selling digital singles artist in US according to RIAA,[5] is regularly placed on lists composed by Forbes magazine, including The World's 100 Most Powerful Women from 2010 to 2013,[6] and was named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine.[7][8] Outside of her musical career, she is a prominent LGBT activist?
or that
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born in New York City on March 28, 1986,[9] to Joseph Anthony "Joe" Germanotta, Jr. and Cynthia Bissett.[10] Gaga has Sicilian/Italian and more distant French-Canadian roots.[11][12] She has one younger sister, Natali, a fashion student, who was born in 1992.[13][14] Despite her affluent upbringing on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Gaga says that her parents "both came from lower-class families, so we've worked for everything—my mother worked eight to eight out of the house, in telecommunications, and so did my father."[15][16] Gaga and her family are Roman Catholic. From age eleven she attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school on Manhattan's Upper East Side.[17][18][19][20] She described her academic life in high school as "very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined" but also "a bit insecure": "I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn't fit in, and I felt like a freak."[21][22] Acquaintances dispute that she did not fit in at school.[23] Gaga began playing the piano at the age of four, wrote her first piano ballad at thirteen, and started to perform at open mic nights by the age of fourteen.[24] She performed lead roles in high school productions, including Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.[25] She also appeared in a very small role as a mischievous classmate in the television drama series The Sopranos in a 2001 episode titled "The Telltale Moozadell" and auditioned for New York shows without success.[15][26]
After high school, her mother encouraged her to apply for the Collaborative Arts Project 21 (CAP21), a musical theater training conservatory at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.[15] By age seventeen, after becoming one of twenty students to gain early admission, she lived in an NYU dorm on 11th Street.[25] In addition to sharpening her songwriting skills, she composed essays and analytical papers on art, religion, social issues, and politics, including a thesis on pop artists Spencer Tunick and Damien Hirst.[27][28] She also auditioned for various roles and won the part of an unsuspecting diner customer for MTV's Boiling Points, a prank reality television show.?

But what about :
On September 3, 2013, Gaga started two polls on Twitter asking fans to help her choose the second single, the first poll asked to choose between "Manicure" and "Sexxx Dreams" while the second poll asked to choose between "Aura" and "Swine".[20] On September 20, 2013, Gaga gave an update about the second single, stating that it will be released before the album, adding that: "There is a lot of choices, I want to choose something that's totally ME! for me its about choosing the best song". She concluded by saying: "There's a chance you have not heard the next single".[21] On October 10, 2013, Gaga revealed that "Venus" has been chosen as the second single.[22] In the meantime, a snippet of "Do What U Want" was first heard in the US in a Best Buy/Beats commercial on October 17, 2013.[18][23][24] It was also used in a commercial for UK mobile company O2 as part of the "Be More Dog" campaign.[25] Following the commercial success of the song on its release, Gaga and her label decided to release "Do What U Want" as the second official single from Artpop therefore cancelling "Venus" as the single.[26] Dennis Dennehy, head of artist strategy and media for Interscope Records, explained to Billboard that Gaga had complete control over which single is chosen officially.[14] "Do What U Want" officially impacted Italian radio stations on October 25, 2013, and five days later on UK radio stations. The song impacted Top 40/Mainstream and Rhythmic radio stations in the United States the following month on November 5, 2013.[27][28] Lipshutz commented that this change-up of the single at the last moment was reminiscent of a similar situation faced by Gaga in 2011 with her second studio album, Born This Way. After the second single "Judas" was released in April 2011, it soon started to peak commercially. So in order to keep the momentum going, the label decided to rush release a third single the following month; the song chosen as the third single was the critically acclaimed promo single, "The Edge of Glory", which later went on to achieve chart success.[14]
Terry Richardson shot the cover art for the single and the official music video.
The first promotional artwork showed Gaga wearing a long burnette wig and naked except moss covering her genitals.[29][30] The single's official cover art, released on October 21, shows Gaga's backside, wearing a floral thong.[2][31] Taken by photographer Terry Richardson, the cover art looks like a polaroid shot according to Catherine Earp from Digital Spy.[32] It was also described by Leigh Silver from Complex magazine as reminiscent of Andy Warhol's polaroid series, where the artist shot pictures of blonds and their rear.[33] A reviewer from Metro believed that the singer was again up to her "eyebrow-raising tricks" with the provocative artwork.[34] Louise Saunders from Daily Mail compared the image to a similar photo posted by socialite Kim Kardashian on her Twitter account.[30] Hilary Hughes from Esquire called the cover art "awful" but felt that the artwork paved way for much imagination in lieu of the suggestive theme of the song.[35] In an interview with German television station ProSieben, Gaga said that the reason for choosing the explicit picture was her belief that the general public did not value art and would commercialize it, which she did not fancy. So the picture of her buttocks was a form of statement from Gaga that it was "just another piece of ass for you to buy. You will not have my heart or mind, because you don't deserve it. I would give it to my fans because they would received it with love... When I look at how society has changed, I feel like this is a good time to show you my ass, because its all I choose to give you."[6]
The night before the song's release, Gaga took to Twitter to publicly and controversially address her critics. She included lyrics from "Do What U Want" with each tweet, and spoke about gossip that has surfaced throughout her career, including rumors of the singer being a hermaphrodite, gaining weight in 2012, as well as her drug addiction.[36] Other subjects addressed included the negative comparisons between Gaga and Madonna, and the media pitting the singer against fellow pop musician Katy Perry, when Gaga's single "Applause" and Perry's "Roar" were released within days of each other.[37] In response, Alex Camp from Slant Magazine felt that it would have been better to let "Do What U Want" speak against the criticisms, as the stunt highlighted how preoccupied the singer is with her social media status and her public image.[38][39]

Guys but seriously!!
In July, she performed the song for the first time at the swimsuit competition of the Miss Universe 2008 in Vietnam, later Lady Gaga performed the song on many television shows in the United States. She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!,[59] The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,[60] So You Think You Can Dance[61] and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[62][63] In Australia, she performed on Sunrise, where her performance was condemned for lip-synching. Gaga denied it and released a statement saying "I was sick the day of the show but I absolutely, 100 per cent, was singing live. [...] have never lip-synched and never will. Even on my worst day, I never will."[64] In the United Kingdom, she performed the song on GMTV. She also performed the single during her AOL sessions.[65] "Just Dance" was added to the setlist of her first headlining The Fame Ball Tour, where it was performed before the Encore.

It's a shame she doesn't care for Poker Face.
