Oops, wanting that TayGa wedding already. Here's the full quote on what she said today, which makes more sense (found this after my post, but she basically confirms what I was thinking) -
Quote:

"I don't deviate from the message in anything I do, it's a part of me, it's a part of my spirit, as Stefani. I said this earlier and I'll say it again, I invented myself, Lady Gaga, and curated my life to be an expression of my pain. This is how I overcame my depression, by creating somebody I felt was stronger than me. But once I went through all all sorts of changes, my career taking off, becoming more isolated, you know nothing was able to fix how I was genetically made."
|
Lady Gaga was always a persona for her to escape and express Stefani's pain.

Can you explain to me how speaking on the importance of mindfulness, pain relief, touching on anxiety, and everything else she did in that interview is "crap"? I'm intrigued.
Some people will really benefit from her speech, sis. Don't belittle it.

She said this in 2013 (the boiling point of her erraticism). Gaga's probably in the happiest place she has ever been in her life. She isn't the Stefani who was getting bullied, who was dropped from a label, who was battling a drug addiction, who was in a horrible relationship, who had depression and eating disorders, who was raped by producers, she isn't being mistreated by her management trying to control her, etc... She's been through so much horrible experiences, Gaga was always a persona where she could escape that, create a sphere and put her troubles into artistic expression and performance art and not be Stefani. This isn't new so I don't see why y'all are surprised. That's something she emphasized during BTW, she wanted her fans to become whoever they wanted to be to feel free in themselves, confident, express and live half way between reality and fantasy, fantasy being Lady Gaga. She mentioned recently how her "out there" outfits was her self depreciating inside too.
It's sad really, because it's a time we hold such joy but to her she was upset and struggling, but the thing is some of y'all are holding Gaga to stuff she said at 21. She's almost 30, she's engaged, she's been through a hell of a lot since, she's seen the extreme highs and lows of being famous and successful, she's toured the world and back countless times, she's achieved basically everything from a career #1s, billions on tours, millions of dollars, Grammys, every award in the book, etc... She's in a completely different mindset right now. She's a different person. Would you think you'd relate to your 21 year old self at 30? No. Same goes to those wanting her to re-create The Fame. That's never going to happen. Different time, different era, different era in her life and what she wanted to achieve and say.
I feel like she's more accepting of being Stefani than living through a persona to escape her troubles and demons at the time but right now she's in a much better place. I'm excited to see how it transcends to LG5. She's never going to not be Lady Gaga. But, she isn't the Lady Gaga she was in 2008. Nor is she the same Stefani.

Woo, Gaga finally admitting that "Gaga" is a persona has me kind of excited. We might be in for a really personal album.  I'd love that.

I really don't get why the concept of growing up and changing is so hard for some people.

I don't wanna make it about me, but I experienced the exact same stuff Gaga is talking about during her talk at Yale about saying no. Called of an engagement with a guy that was well off. Yes it was a comfy life and I was being taken care off and isn't that what society says women want or should stay with?
Half year before I turned 30 I had the guts to just say no, it isn't for me, this is not the man I wanna spend my life with.
10 months later I met my now husband and just live modest yet happy life.
I know for you gay guys it must be already tougher in most countries since being gay is already against "the norm" itself.
There is no way I can say "I know how you feel" cause obviously I don't but I applaud you guys for just keep going on and I hope together we can just make a new norm where everyones sexuality is accepted. Your generation now has to keep the issue on the front pages and hope that your struggle will make the guys and girls coming after you in 30-40 years free of prejudice.
I don't even know why I am ranting now, lemme just get myself a tea.

This is so sweet! Thanks for sharing a bit of your story GypsyLife, I feel like my future 30 years old self will be more aware now

What a day for Gaga fans! I don't know why we're so shocked about that quote. Like obviously she, as Lady Gaga, is incredibly invested and will spend her life devoted to the character, but of course behind closed doors when it's just her family and Taylor, she would surely revert to a pretty low-key, probably normal kind of girl.
It's definitely the end of the era of Lady Gaga - the unstoppable pop titan, but at the same time it's kind of re-awakening. Like yes she has two distinguishing personalities, the private Stefani vs. the public Gaga, but obviously it's the same person. It's just nice she keeps some distinction, as I think anyone in the public eye would.

I'm so excited for a new era to begin
Listening for the first time the first single, buying on iTunes, pre-ordering the album, listening to it back and forth, etc, etc.
I truly hope everything goes as planned by her and her team, at least on the execution side, of course they cannot predict how the public is going to respond.

Lady Gaga - "Stefani" or Stefani Germanotta - "Lady Gaga" is coming
she denied that Gaga was a character for years though, she said Gaga was 100% her and now she's saying she isn't... the fact she's admitting it could be harmful to her image, even if it was a character giving expression to part of her soul/personality. It was smart to do C2C and all the award shows etc though, the public has already made the transition and likes it... I mean, we've all been seeing the transition to Stefani and saying it for years now, but to admit it to the world is quite big

нαυѕσƒנα¢к & GypsyLife, what an insightful comments
I'm here for the album being called Stefani but not sure how I'd feel if she dissociated herself from her stage name...
