I’m beautiful in my way
‘Cause God makes no mistakes

Lady Gaga’s most recent album sold more than 1.1 million copies in the first week and is still on the mind of all of her raging fans. Gaga is known for preaching, “Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.” Although her record was released in May of 2011, her “little monsters” are still keeping her songs at the top of the charts.

Recently Gaga has released her latest music video, “Marry the Night” and produced a television special entitled, “A Very Gaga Thanksgiving,” in which she sang with Tony Bennett, was interviewed by Katie Couric, and celebrated the holiday with little monsters from her elementary school, Sacred Heart. She is also going to launch the Born this Way Foundation in 2012, which empowers bravery, acceptance and love, a place where individuality is encouraged, and humanity is embraced in the lives of teens and young adults. She has also won the Hero Award for her work with the LGBT Association.

Lady Gaga is known for her wacky outfits, including one made of raw meat and one in which she hatched out of an egg. But underneath her crazy clothes and hysterical hair, Gaga has a vision of a world where people in embrace who they truly are and have no regrets. “I want women — and men — to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they’re always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.” Gaga said recently.

You don’t have to be an obsessed fan to love everything she believes in. “I think she’s a strong person and has a lot of guts to do what she does,” stated junior Megan Anderson.

My mama told me when I was young,
We are all born superstars.

Lady Gaga illustrates time and time again that we all have a calling somewhere in the world and it is our destiny to follow it. She tells her little monsters to be who you want to be because that is all that truly matters. Mother Monster is a real person – inside and out – which is hard to find now days. “She helps with the music production, she directed her latest video and she never lip-syncs. It’s things like that that make me love her that much more,” stated Gaga obsessed sophomore Alex St. Dennis.

Lady Gaga is a true, honest person that writes music for the 21st century teen. Freshman Abby Lee Chargo stated, “I think more people should be like her and her personality, but you don’t have to take after what she wears and says, but the way she does it and doesn’t care…. [just] be yourself.”
