Stefani Germanotta
Lady Gaga
Mother Monster
An inspiration to anyone and everyone
Whether you like her music or not, whether you hate her outrageous gimmicks and costumes or not, there is no denying that this woman is a beautiful, talented human being. Her ability to build her name, career, and empire as much as she has in the past three years, since her first single was released, continues to take my breath away.
I will never say that I love everything Lady Gaga says or does; I don't think anyone can say that about anyone. At least not if they are being honest.
But, I have to admit, it's pretty damn close.
The lyrics to her song Speechless will always move me.
"..And I know that it's complicated, but I'm a loser in love so baby
Raise a glass to mend, all the broken hearts, of all my wrecked up friends."
The power in her voice when she sings every verse, the look on her face as she pounds the keys of a piano when she performs this song live. I am a singer. I know what real talent sounds like, and I know what is and is not easy. She is a real musician, and it will always bother me to my core when people verbally abuse her, for this reason alone. However. Beings I know my word is probably not enough to convince anyone, nor should I try to ramble on, if you're one of these said 'haters', watch this and get back to me -

Not only is her music beautiful and original, but her music videos.. Her performances! People forget that she is just that - a performer. And that her crazy costumes and deranged dance numbers are all part of her job as an entertainer. The fact that people crave so deeply for normality, and that anything different or unusual is only talked about in a negative light, truly makes me angry at society. But, what can you do?
The absolute most important and incredible reason that I love and adore Lady Gaga is her belief in Equality & Gay Rights. She has single-handedly pushed society's level of tolerance for the gay community light years ahead of what it was 10 years ago. (It is no secret that I believe in equal rights for all.. but that is a whole different blog post that I'm sure I'll conjure up soon.) She loves all of her fans, and truthfully everyone in general, and uses all of her influence to make others feel the same. If you don't find that beautiful, then I pity you.

She is an incredible, talented, original, loving person. An all-around inspiration for my life. I truly love her for all she has done so far in my generation.
So thank you.
So thank you.
