Today's generation will never understand how big Gaga was in 2009-2011. She was literally everywhere and everybody was talking about her. I'm not sure we will ever see the emergence of such a big superstar since the industry has changed a lot
It was 14 years ago now - Gaga is a music veteran these days. Where did the time go? Yes the industry & the world has changed dramatically - she might well be the last great superstar
@@vangelissopamenaI don’t know about that - saying that Taylor is a bigger star. More active, maybe. But also they are focusing on totally different industries now. Taylor is really pushing herself to the max right now with her music, doing as much and releasing as much music as she can (I would say the amount is overwhelming, but hey, good for her). She’s doing in terms of amount of work what Gaga used to do years ago. Now Gaga has seemingly started to take things slower. Focusing on fewer, but larger projects, and focusing primarily on work outside of music, acting, make up brand, philanthropy and whatnot.
The first time I saw her it was $10, and you got a copy of "The Fame" and got to meet her and get it signed before she performed. She has come so far, and it's been amazing being there from the beginning to see how her career has evolved!
I was going to say the same thing. She performed her rehearsal set at Purdue and U of I for free. Everyone was extremely impressed. Her crew also went around the quad during the weekend to do fun dancing costumes. It was really funny!
“the first real superstar of the digital age” - that line alone is just perfection. I remember first time i’d heard “just dance” in ‘08 & fell in love with it… i’ve always been a fan of pop music but that track just felt different. It was harder, more complex. planet pop was never the same again
From the moment I looked up the artist that Christina Aguilera was copying the VMA style from I fell in love with her. If Britney, Christina, and Shakira had a child Gaga would be her name 😂. She had the best out of these girls from Britney she had the Pop Icon/ clear vocals (while Shakira and Christina have good vocals they lack clarity when they sing and they can sound too harsh), from Christina she had the power of the vocals and girls just wanna have fun attitude, and from Shakira she had the smarts, the powerful dancepop sound (though Gaga made it more electronic) and the personal songwriting skills. The best of these artists combined in one
She is the only *Elite* Hollywood Star to win a *Grammy* , *Oscar* , *Bafta* , *Golden Globe* all in *1 year* . Nobody today can or will do what she has done .
Lady Gaga saved pop music in the late 2000s. It truly was so amazing to witness, she had something so special that made me feel so many things and helped me to find myself. So happy to have been in my formative years during her rise.
Gaga is the last superstar. The reason Lady Gaga, the Beatles, and Elvis Presley, Genghis Khan, Cleopatra, etc. exist is because of what civilization was before the dawn of the Internet and the new millennium. Everything after is the void. For culture to reach a place again where an artist like Gaga can exist on the cutting edge of human capacity, the Internet will have to no longer exist. Not only will the Internet have to cease to exist, but humans will have had forgotten about it and lived without the Internet for several thousand years. Après Gaga, the void.
As a Gaga fan of nearly 13 years, you covered some stuff that I had never seen or heard of before - super insightful and inspiring!! This might now be my favourite video of yours
Lady Gaga was very popular in Russia during this period. Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, Paparazzi big hits. Then Bad Romance and Alejandro came out and they also became massive hits there. She is one of the most streamed and rotated foreign singers in Russia for past 15 years (and over the past 1 year, the most streamed and viewed foreign singer in Russia, due to old hits and Bloody Mary).
I really miss the Gaga + RedOne duo and their creative chemistry! Its such a shame she isn't working with him anymore. They definitely should write another album together!
From what I understand, the relationship was very intrinsic for a while but I understand her wanting to change her production team every so often but I do hope she does it again with this next album. It'll be interesting to see her depart from Bloodpop and I hope it will be the case.
She created some tracks with redone back in 2014,2015 before Joanne was released, but eventually scrapped them unfortunately. It’s regarded as the “original LG5” before David Bowie died.
Sooooo, in a nutshell... Gaga changed the game. After her meteoric rise in the mainstream, everyone needed to step up their game. Her impact is so immense and many fandoms today are just too jealous to admit that. Gaga is the blueprint of pre-streaming stardom.
Following Gaga's career from the end of the high school and all through university was the most exciting time of my life. I don't care if people say don't let your life revolve around a celebrity cause it's not healthy or something -- I let my life revolve around her during that time and I don't regret a single moment. I will never forget how I felt when I first saw her for $20, and then saw her bloody Paparazzi performance in person athe VMAs, or how much fun I had camping out the night before for her GMA show with friends, or how I felt when I first heard Born This Way premiere on the radio and it felt like I tapped into some alien recording via satellite it was THAT huge of a moment for me, or how she made me feel when we finally met and she touched my hair and gave me hugs. i'll also never forget when people around me started to turn their back on her after that and during ARTPOP, I was enthusiastically showing people the songs/videos and they weren't "getting" it. I felt so confused. Seeing all the clips of her throughout this video was so nostalgic and got me feeling so happy to have experienced all that -- thank you for the trip down memory lane. Maybe it wasn't *that* long ago....but it was such a magical & exciting time.
thanks for sharing that. People would say things like to me but Gaga is so much more than a 'celebrity'. She's a force for good and stands for something really positive. She's contributed so much great music and art to the world. She's has an incredible worth ethic and value system and inspirational to so many people. It annoys me when ppl use the 'celebrity' card. Thanks for sharing those memories BTW
Loved this video. I was like 13 when I discovered her and she changed my life. Almost 29 and no artist has come close to her level and how she changed music.
I'm so glad I was able to experience all of that and be alive during the Gaga era. I remember being like 13 years old the first time I saw the just dance music video on MTV, I thought to myself, who the hell is this girl and why is this such a banger, my head exploded, I was like I need to know her name, and at the end of the video you would see the credits and it said "lady gaga" and I was like who the hell is this? I need more from her!!! I am obsessed. I don't think I ever experienced that same feeling with a new artist, she definitely hit the world like a storm.
I feel lucky that I lived this period of time, it felt magic. She was eating the world, a big popstar. I think there will never be a huge pop star like her, artists now are so lazy
I’ll never forget hearing “Poker Face” for the first time in the way home from my brother’s baseball practice, becoming immediately obsessed with the sound and icy voice of the artist. It wasn’t long before I was on TH-cam, scouring the site for any and all information I could on this “Lady GaGa”. It would be one of the first songs I would ever purchase myself, and it seemed like almost immediately, I’d found my “mother monster”. GaGa has changed my life in as many ways as she has saved it. Her music, her style, her personality, her voice, her messages of healing through music, celebration of fame, success, but above all love and passion through creative expression. I wouldn’t be the person I am today (or here at all) if it wasn’t for Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.
@@jonnyharvey That's from Marry The Night's monologue not me saying that😂 But I want to release a new song in the future, just waiting for the right time.♥️
She has been my Mother Monster since i first saw her perform at the Miss Universe pageant, im so proud of her, and to see how far she has come makes me emotional.
It's incredible how she took pop to the next level, by being unique, bizarre and taking inspiration from past generations. She's humble, kind and talented, and I think she'll continue being an example of determination, no matter what
I remember back then when Gaga debuted that she felt like such a breath of fresh air. Her look was so creative and different and her music was exciting. She was really an icon for a new generation.
she is an absolute artistic and social phenomenon . the kindest, conscious and inspiring women. and an outstanding performer, vocalist, media and fashion shower. and the little monsters bonding was historical
I liked how Gaga revamp her image. In her early years, people thought she’s just the meat dress girl, wearing weird costumes, etc and not respected enough… But Gaga showed how multi-talented she is when she collaborated with Tony Benett and did the Sound of Music tribute performance. Then she starred in ASIB, HOG, and a new movie next year. Now, she’s one of the most respected artists in Hollywood.
Man, I feel bad for the generation that missed this era. It truly was the last great era for Pop music. GaGa was on top of the world, and other artists at the time like Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Kesha helped music stay fun for a few years. Who do we rely on nowadays for this? I can't even think of anyone.
Lady Gaganot only change the music industry, She helped so many LGBT individuals, other musicians, and influenced everyone Even the haters. I don’t think any other artists is making movies doing jazz or contributing to society as much as she has as an artist who has openly talked about depression, abuse, and drug use I remember when she sang at the inauguration I cried so hard , because we are so lucky to be living in the same time as she is
Been a fan of Gaga since her first song, it's crazy it's been 15 years, that's almost half my life, time really does fly 😢 This video is amazing, like all your videos, so insightful and I always learn a tonne of more info, thank you 👍
I'm 40 years old so I completely missed her. I barely know maybe one of her songs, probably the most known one. But I see she was pretty famous among kids from that generation. And I can see why she was so appealing to them, she mixed a lot of elements from classic and iconic artists like Madonna and David Bowie. That always works. And she had a good voice too and she was fun. The whole package. No wonder she was famous.
@@DrewRueDoo oh, well it's just not my kind of music, so I have no idea cos I never listened to her songs. But I know she's very talented and a great artist and I know she has a song that's like very famous and everyone knows, and I know she's famous among her listeners. I just never listened to her.
I first remember hearing Gaga on the radio throughout 2009 when I was in between graduating 5th grade and starting middle school but I first saw her physically when watching the 2009 MTV VMAs and her performance of paparazzi I was so shocked and amazed by the theatrics, the powerful vocals, her stage presence, the emphasis on fashion and fame etc and that ending … like crazy. And I’ll never forget since 90% of the people who went to middle school also went to elementary school with me and my twin sister so the next day in fact the whole month of September everyone talking about her VMAs performance. I spent my entire childhood and eventually first years of young adulthood watching her from the massive fame monster and born this way eras to her 2011 VMA performance of you and I to the release and hype of the telephone video to her musical transformation with cheek to cheek and Joanne to her development as a Hollywood movie star starting with a star is born, It’s amazing to watch her evolution throughout the years since although I have had critique on Gaga at her prime mainly feeling like her persona and showmanship didn’t match her music I can’t deny her impact and influence in contemporary pop music she’s one of the best pop stars today and one of the most multi talented performers of all time
I remember being sick at home on April Fools Day in 2009. Was absolutely miserable at home all day, but had the glimmer of hope for that night's American Idol. It was progressing well, and after a commercial break a newer artist was introduced and changed my life. On that stage was GaGa playing Poker Face on piano, and just completely drawing all of my attention. She then stopped, the camera zoomed out, and the regular instrumental starts up. In the time from piano to main stage, she had changed outfits and never missed a beat during that performance . I don't remember anything else from that day, but I remember how I felt in that moment. The awe, the spark of creativity, and the vow to be like her. I felt like she gave me permission to be subversive, to make noise, to like boys, and so much more. Every year I celebrate my anniversary of being a Little Monster, and learn to appreciate this beautiful soul. Thank you GaGa! You saved me.
that's a great memory to have - thanks for sharing 😀That was such a great way to discover her. The first time I ever saw her was the 'Just Dance' video on TV.
Michael Jackson used pop culture and fame as inspirations too, came up multiple times in Thriller and every album after it. He also blended pop music with film, art, design and technology too. Worked with American painters & artists regularly (Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Mark Ryden and Keith Haring painted or sculpted him during his lifetime), has an invention patent, created the first high production music videos, pioneered the visual album and also had a successful Sega video game in the late 80s. He was also a major inspiration to Gaga, not just Andy Warhol. She's spoken extensively about how MJ has influenced her approach to pop and pop art.
I was introduced to Gaga at the NKOTB 2008 tour when she opened for them. I was confused about her at first but became an immediate fan. I am so glad she toured with NKOTB.
It’s weird to hear that just dance wasn’t big in the states because it was MASSIVE in Canada. I heard it constantly on the radio and the video was played so much on tv. It got very old very fast lol
To be frank it also took Just Dance 5 months to reach number 1 because she was faced with competition from established pop artists all summer long. During that time the following hits were released Disturbia (Rihanna), I Kissed a Girl (Katy Perry), Womanizer (Britney Spears), and Keeps Getting Better (Christina Aguilera). I’m actually surprised she got to be number one given she was Lady Who at that time. But even these artists couldn’t keep Gaga from becoming the new Queen of Pop
man that great fame era takes me back to my middle school years i definitely miss that gaga she was weird, raunchy outrageous like 80s prince😂 her music was clearly better
And let's not forget that she was the first person with most followers on Twitter in 2010. I don't want to sound arrogant, but I have very particular tastes in music and art and when I saw Gaga in 2009 I knew she was the Real Deal. and After 14 years, 13 Grammys and 1 Oscar, I'm still her biggest fan.
I wish I could have been old enough to fully remember her come-up. I briefly remember The Fame era bc I was in the 4th grade. I do remember watching Bad Romance on MTV and Telephone on TH-cam and gagging. I also remember getting laughed at in 6th grade for saying that I admired Lady Gaga. I didn’t know she was a “gay artist”. I just thought she was sickening. Years later and I’ve seen her in concert twice and continue to love and evolve with her. Truly the last superstar!
She really was one of the final massive monoculture moments. 2009-2011 was pretty much the end of that time when stars could get that ubiquitous and big. Her Taylor and Beyonce still being around now also shows that some of these megastars got very lucky debuting in that pre-social media/streaming age and carrying over into the present. Newer artists feel so niche and small now.
Such a great and thorough video! It's so funny, because my intro to Gaga was seeing a video of her performing at the Miss Universe pageant and I knew when I saw it that she was incredibly talented. Fast forward years later, and I would be in audience for her Enigma Las Vegas show and her Chromatica Ball. Such a legend! 💜
@@jonnyharvey From what I saw, it was first and foremost digital release, however I'm pretty sure that behind the scenes Interscope was trying to promote it to radios. But those radio releases are so tricky, because not every song that gets into airplay rotation is documented sadly or official release is way after it got steam on radio.
Gaga was a cultural reset. She emerged at a time when there was no space for weirdness in pop music, the biggest pop stars just had to be pretty. Katy Perry was a bit weird, but in a cute way. Gaga was weird weird, so unapologetically herself! That inspired me so much as a teen who felt different than most people around me, it was cool to be weird and, well, that feeling made me act in ways that make me cringe now when I remember, but it's a part of life, right? She really created magic with RedOne, but aside from making me dance to her sound, she got me into bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure. What other contemporary pop singer ever referenced so many outstanding artists like Bowie, Hitchcock, Kubrick, to name a few? She was the real deal. Great video!
Exactly! She knows how to make it fun when it could look just silly. Same with campy acting looking absurd on some actors and hilarious with rather precise others who got the insights. 🤔
Just Dance, NYE 2007/2008 I played it for the first time and I remember people were confused who it was. I gave them Gaga's MySpace and she blew up right after.
Every single words and letter that is im this video is well research, such a monumental case study on the BEST performer and recording artiste, the one and only Lady GAGA....!
I so happy u made this video. Bc her come up was my childhood and she one the major artist, beside Beyoncé that I was very much a big fan (and still am). And I think a lot ppl forget how much of an impact and continuing impact she has in pop music and the landscape bc she brought back the excitement and artistry to music and fame. The risk she also took to her career further to jazz and making a soft -rock album . Like this woman is the last superstar in the sense of how she came up to be and remain a force to the culture
Yes I should’ve emphasised more in the video what a huge risk taker she is - there was nobody doing the pop art thing when she came along - that’s why it took a while for some people to come around to it
I love Rihanna and Beyonce so much, but Lady Gaga’s impact has dominated the world that even my fave girlies started dressing eccentric and outrageous outfits! Lady Gaga is a superstar!
2011 was definitely Gaga's year. She was literally everywhere, the anticipation for her music videos was off the hook, every one of her performance was a talking point the next day at work. I don't think I had seen anything like since Michael Jackson. I remember seeing her live in London in 2010 for a mere €30. I had bought the ticket just because I enjoyed Bad Romance and thought it would be a fun night. I was shocked at how elaborate the show was and how talented she was for her first concert tour. That's when I became a "fan". Ever since, she's just got better and better and if she continues I'm sure she'll become a legend.
We had a show that started here in Aus in early 2008 called make me a supermodel and The fame was the Theme song for it. A couple of months before just dance first dropped, I was an official gaga fan before y’all lol
I was going to say the same thing. She performed her rehearsal set at Purdue and U of I for free. Everyone was extremely impressed. Her crew also went around the quad during the weekend to do fun dancing costumes. It was really funny! This was interesting! Her movie acting has been for to watch too lol!
@@jonnyharvey In 2008, when she first debuted her album. I remember that Pokerface was out for a few months and started doing really well. She was doing some sort of big ten tour. I remember that she stopped Indiana and University of illinois. I remember seeing her on youtube and tv but not really being that familiar w/ her. I was at my fraternity house-we lived right behind the concert hall-she took her piano outside and started singing. At first, I thought that she would stop or only do a few songs. But she was outside for an hour or two-alot of folks stopped on the quad and were really impressed. I'll never forget it-I became a big fan then.
love your videos! thank you for the great analysis. good to know that besides gaga's vision and passion there was a marketing machine behind her. troy carter wasn't mentioned even once but as far as i know he was responsible for 90% of the business decisions. laurieann gibson's contributions are also quite significant. the retinue makes the king! the queen in our case. i hope it's a series and there's a chance to see vids about the fame monster and my favourite gaga album born this way. ❤
Thank you 😀😀 thanks for the feedback. Definitely doing the Fame Monster soon. I didn’t come across much info on Troy Carter except for when they parted ways. Yes I should include sth about Laurieann Gibson the next time
Thanks for making this video. Hoping for more Gaga videos soon. It's just funny how other fandoms discredit her impact and her work. She showed much respect to the musicians who influenced her. I don't care what others may say about her, my Queen is unproblematic and not bothered. I am a proud Little monster since 2008 til forever.
No I didn’t forget to add it. I couldn’t include everything cause I’d never have got the video finished. It took my two weeks. It’s not a definitive account of the era. And I kinda thought everyone knew that info already
I just stumbled upon your channel. Your presentation, narration and the bloopers at the end are really sweet. Not even a Gaga fan, but you kinda convinced me that she's actually something else. Thanks for the video :)
"gaga new that the inaccesable superstar of yesteryear wouldnt connect" but thats exactly what she did and why she was so famous, she was elusive, mysterious and aloof.
@@jonnyharvey Sadly I saw it on TV in an Arte documentary about groupies that I can't find online now but it was in french anyway... 😅 Maybe it had subtitles if I can send it to you. They said Elton's ones were the rockets. ☺️
Wow thanks for this vid. She was/is SO good.. people forget how great she is.. they aren't doing it like her anymore in pop.. it definitely feels like something is missing. She's such an inspiration 🌟Definitely helped shape who I was growing up 🙏
It is so insane, in a good way, this kind of video. Bc 10 years ago lady gaga was the crazy one. And how she changed the game is such an inspiration as ever.
Been a fan since I was 6, ever since she dropped poker face as a single on my birthday, genuinely felt like a birthday present from her. I was that weird kid that obsessed over her and loved everything she did, even if I didn’t understand it since I was like 8. Then I looked back into it all when I was 13-14 and I fell even more in love! There’s no other artist I connected with as much as I have with Gaga, with how artistic and haute couture she is (or was considering she seems to have retired that aspect of her?), even though I’ve come to love Madonna and Taylor, Ive had an emotional connection with gaga because of just how long I’ve been a fan and growing up with her. Also coincidentally I published a music mix of her music literally yesterday and you dropped this today😂
I would love to see you do Amy Winehouse next and her involvement in the British Soul movement at the time. If I remember correctly Gaga said that Amy was a big inspiration of hers which is crazy because I love them both and they do sorta look the same.
If you want to know how much Gaga changed music, and FASHION? and FASHION IN MUSIC?! Just look at pictures of the runways from the Grammys in 2007 and runways of music award shows in 20010 and onward
This is such a great video!! Even as a 9 year old I was obsessed with the Fame and I knew how special Gaga was. I’m so glad to have witnessed her rise and that era. She truly changed my life and made my little heart so happy. I will forever be a fan!! LOVE HER
The naming of the fanbase comments are interesting. Social media would have been key to other artists using a fanbase name, purely for ease of branding and the idea that social media have 'communities'. I adore Lady Gaga. The Chromatica Ball was one of the best live experiences of my life up there with Madonna and Bjork and Kate Bush. But I started out with a lot of animosity for what I thought she represented. I was a very different person then and celebrity culture felt like an assault every day. I was desperate for authenticity so Gaga from the face of it seemed vacuous and depressing to me. Little did I know..... noone could have known what picture was being painted with The Fame and The Fame Monster! Glorious! BIONIC 4EVA
For „forever“ u need to put out more music, she changed a decade, yes. But as much as I like her: she used what was already there in the last 2,5 decades and repackaged it (very nicely), in music and in appearance.
After watching her Paparazzi video when it dropped, I looked over to my friend and said you now the next Madonna everybody always talks about and I never see, well I think she just might be the one.
....I'm going to CRY...I was in the Music Industry doing Dance Music PR, 1992, up until Summer 2005; I was SO burnt out, I didn't want to deal with it anymore...One Day, I went to a Used CD Store (2007-ish), and the Owner of the Store was talking to someone, and said, "...THERE HE IS!..." ...and pointed to me... (cont.) ....apparently, the Man he was conversing with, was from Interscope Records, and was looking for the BEST People he can find, to promote a new Artist, named...."Lady Gaga"....and, to help with promotion, on the Dance mixes of "Just Dance"...he SWORE she was gonna be *BIG* ...... ....and, I turned it down. .....saying, "...I don't think she's gonna make it, Man...sorry....." ...joke's on ME, I see......

As a Gaga fan of nearly 13 years, you covered some stuff that I had never seen or heard of before - super insightful and inspiring!! This might now be my favourite video of yours
Thanks - I could easily have included so much more, done an hour documentary but it would’ve taken weeks.
sameeee
Lady Gaga's influence and impact is so undeniable
😀
Lady Gaga was very popular in Russia during this period. Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, Paparazzi big hits. Then Bad Romance and Alejandro came out and they also became massive hits there. She is one of the most streamed and rotated foreign singers in Russia for past 15 years (and over the past 1 year, the most streamed and viewed foreign singer in Russia, due to old hits and Bloody Mary).
Great to hear she’s so popular there. I thought she might be a bit controversial in the country
Her rise and career gives me goosebumps! she was meant to do it.
I know - it was so exciting, all of it 😀😀 I should’ve appreciated it more, doubt we’ll see the like again
I really miss the Gaga + RedOne duo and their creative chemistry! Its such a shame she isn't working with him anymore. They definitely should write another album together!
they did have great chemistry which is so hard to find - certain musicians just gel.
From what I understand, the relationship was very intrinsic for a while but I understand her wanting to change her production team every so often but I do hope she does it again with this next album. It'll be interesting to see her depart from Bloodpop and I hope it will be the case.
I would like to see her collaborate with RedOne and DJ White Shadow again! :)
She created some tracks with redone back in 2014,2015 before Joanne was released, but eventually scrapped them unfortunately. It’s regarded as the “original LG5” before David Bowie died.
She worked with him for LG5 for a rock theme album but was stripped for Joanne like 3 months before for a more family oriented album with Mark.
Sooooo, in a nutshell... Gaga changed the game. After her meteoric rise in the mainstream, everyone needed to step up their game. Her impact is so immense and many fandoms today are just too jealous to admit that. Gaga is the blueprint of pre-streaming stardom.
Yes, indeed. Certain fandom continues to discredit her impact. She is and will always be mother.
The beginning of her career is literally my childhood
You must be so young
Following Gaga's career from the end of the high school and all through university was the most exciting time of my life. I don't care if people say don't let your life revolve around a celebrity cause it's not healthy or something -- I let my life revolve around her during that time and I don't regret a single moment. I will never forget how I felt when I first saw her for $20, and then saw her bloody Paparazzi performance in person athe VMAs, or how much fun I had camping out the night before for her GMA show with friends, or how I felt when I first heard Born This Way premiere on the radio and it felt like I tapped into some alien recording via satellite it was THAT huge of a moment for me, or how she made me feel when we finally met and she touched my hair and gave me hugs. i'll also never forget when people around me started to turn their back on her after that and during ARTPOP, I was enthusiastically showing people the songs/videos and they weren't "getting" it. I felt so confused.
Seeing all the clips of her throughout this video was so nostalgic and got me feeling so happy to have experienced all that -- thank you for the trip down memory lane. Maybe it wasn't *that* long ago....but it was such a magical & exciting time.
thanks for sharing that. People would say things like to me but Gaga is so much more than a 'celebrity'. She's a force for good and stands for something really positive. She's contributed so much great music and art to the world. She's has an incredible worth ethic and value system and inspirational to so many people. It annoys me when ppl use the 'celebrity' card.
Thanks for sharing those memories BTW
😬
Loved this video. I was like 13 when I discovered her and she changed my life. Almost 29 and no artist has come close to her level and how she changed music.
Thank you 😀😀
Oh please. She, and hundreds of other artists, especially women, owe everything to Madonna.
I'm so glad I was able to experience all of that and be alive during the Gaga era. I remember being like 13 years old the first time I saw the just dance music video on MTV, I thought to myself, who the hell is this girl and why is this such a banger, my head exploded, I was like I need to know her name, and at the end of the video you would see the credits and it said "lady gaga" and I was like who the hell is this? I need more from her!!! I am obsessed. I don't think I ever experienced that same feeling with a new artist, she definitely hit the world like a storm.
Lovely memory - thanks for sharing 😀 Probably one of the last great pop eras ☹️
Had the same experience, 13 or so seeing Paparazzi and I'm dazzled
I feel lucky that I lived this period of time, it felt magic. She was eating the world, a big popstar. I think there will never be a huge pop star like her, artists now are so lazy
the world and music industry has changed so much
I remember googling her everyday just to see her eccentric crazy outfits☺️
I know back then, everyday was a Gaga event
I’ll never forget hearing “Poker Face” for the first time in the way home from my brother’s baseball practice, becoming immediately obsessed with the sound and icy voice of the artist. It wasn’t long before I was on TH-cam, scouring the site for any and all information I could on this “Lady GaGa”. It would be one of the first songs I would ever purchase myself, and it seemed like almost immediately, I’d found my “mother monster”.
GaGa has changed my life in as many ways as she has saved it. Her music, her style, her personality, her voice, her messages of healing through music, celebration of fame, success, but above all love and passion through creative expression. I wouldn’t be the person I am today (or here at all) if it wasn’t for Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.
That’s lovely - thanks for sharing 😀 Love when artists have such a positive impact on their fans lives
I'm gonna be a star. You know why? Because I have nothing left to lose. I love her!!!
I hope you will be 😀
@@jonnyharvey That's from Marry The Night's monologue not me saying that😂
But I want to release a new song in the future, just waiting for the right time.♥️
I love that quote 😂😂😂😂
She has been my Mother Monster since i first saw her perform at the Miss Universe pageant, im so proud of her, and to see how far she has come makes me emotional.
I love that recent clip where she's on a chat show (I think it's Italian) and they show her a montage of her work and she starts to cry.
@@jonnyharvey Oh yes when she was promoting House of Gucci, i love that moment.
It's incredible how she took pop to the next level, by being unique, bizarre and taking inspiration from past generations. She's humble, kind and talented, and I think she'll continue being an example of determination, no matter what
Yes she’s going to around for such a long time. She has such a great attitude 😀
I remember back then when Gaga debuted that she felt like such a breath of fresh air. Her look was so creative and different and her music was exciting. She was really an icon for a new generation.
she is an absolute artistic and social phenomenon . the kindest, conscious and inspiring women. and an outstanding performer, vocalist, media and fashion shower.
and the little monsters bonding was historical
It’s not a marketing gimmick with her, she truly knows what it’s like to be the underdog & the outsider
I liked how Gaga revamp her image. In her early years, people thought she’s just the meat dress girl, wearing weird costumes, etc and not respected enough… But Gaga showed how multi-talented she is when she collaborated with Tony Benett and did the Sound of Music tribute performance. Then she starred in ASIB, HOG, and a new movie next year. Now, she’s one of the most respected artists in Hollywood.
She can do it all 🙌
She’s perfect, one of the most deserving artists out there even though she comes from money, she really worked hard for everything she has
yep her work ethic is insane 🙌
Man, I feel bad for the generation that missed this era. It truly was the last great era for Pop music. GaGa was on top of the world, and other artists at the time like Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Kesha helped music stay fun for a few years. Who do we rely on nowadays for this? I can't even think of anyone.
it really was. Things took a steep nosedive in the years after.
Lady Gaganot only change the music industry,
She helped so many LGBT individuals, other musicians, and influenced everyone
Even the haters.
I don’t think any other artists is making movies doing jazz or contributing to society as much as she has as an artist who has openly talked about depression, abuse, and drug use
I remember when she sang at the inauguration
I cried so hard , because we are so lucky to be living in the same time as she is
Been a fan of Gaga since her first song, it's crazy it's been 15 years, that's almost half my life, time really does fly 😢 This video is amazing, like all your videos, so insightful and I always learn a tonne of more info, thank you 👍
Thank you 😀😀
I'm 40 years old so I completely missed her. I barely know maybe one of her songs, probably the most known one. But I see she was pretty famous among kids from that generation. And I can see why she was so appealing to them, she mixed a lot of elements from classic and iconic artists like Madonna and David Bowie. That always works. And she had a good voice too and she was fun. The whole package. No wonder she was famous.
She ticks so many boxes. More than anyone really
You must have literally been living under a rock then. I think senior citizens could probably name more than one of her songs. Lol
@@DrewRueDoo oh, well it's just not my kind of music, so I have no idea cos I never listened to her songs. But I know she's very talented and a great artist and I know she has a song that's like very famous and everyone knows, and I know she's famous among her listeners. I just never listened to her.
I first remember hearing Gaga on the radio throughout 2009 when I was in between graduating 5th grade and starting middle school but I first saw her physically when watching the 2009 MTV VMAs and her performance of paparazzi I was so shocked and amazed by the theatrics, the powerful vocals, her stage presence, the emphasis on fashion and fame etc and that ending … like crazy. And I’ll never forget since 90% of the people who went to middle school also went to elementary school with me and my twin sister so the next day in fact the whole month of September everyone talking about her VMAs performance. I spent my entire childhood and eventually first years of young adulthood watching her from the massive fame monster and born this way eras to her 2011 VMA performance of you and I to the release and hype of the telephone video to her musical transformation with cheek to cheek and Joanne to her development as a Hollywood movie star starting with a star is born, It’s amazing to watch her evolution throughout the years since
although I have had critique on Gaga at her prime mainly feeling like her persona and showmanship didn’t match her music I can’t deny her impact and influence in contemporary pop music she’s one of the best pop stars today and one of the most multi talented performers of all time
I remember being sick at home on April Fools Day in 2009. Was absolutely miserable at home all day, but had the glimmer of hope for that night's American Idol. It was progressing well, and after a commercial break a newer artist was introduced and changed my life.
On that stage was GaGa playing Poker Face on piano, and just completely drawing all of my attention. She then stopped, the camera zoomed out, and the regular instrumental starts up. In the time from piano to main stage, she had changed outfits and never missed a beat during that performance .
I don't remember anything else from that day, but I remember how I felt in that moment. The awe, the spark of creativity, and the vow to be like her. I felt like she gave me permission to be subversive, to make noise, to like boys, and so much more.
Every year I celebrate my anniversary of being a Little Monster, and learn to appreciate this beautiful soul.
Thank you GaGa! You saved me.
that's a great memory to have - thanks for sharing 😀That was such a great way to discover her. The first time I ever saw her was the 'Just Dance' video on TV.
Michael Jackson used pop culture and fame as inspirations too, came up multiple times in Thriller and every album after it. He also blended pop music with film, art, design and technology too. Worked with American painters & artists regularly (Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Mark Ryden and Keith Haring painted or sculpted him during his lifetime), has an invention patent, created the first high production music videos, pioneered the visual album and also had a successful Sega video game in the late 80s. He was also a major inspiration to Gaga, not just Andy Warhol. She's spoken extensively about how MJ has influenced her approach to pop and pop art.
MJ is a LEGEND.
Still love The Fame all these years later!
It’s a classic
I was introduced to Gaga at the NKOTB 2008 tour when she opened for them. I was confused about her at first but became an immediate fan. I am so glad she toured with NKOTB.
She's didn't stay a support act for long. 😀
It’s weird to hear that just dance wasn’t big in the states because it was MASSIVE in Canada. I heard it constantly on the radio and the video was played so much on tv. It got very old very fast lol
it was big in the States- it just took a few months to build. It reached number one in January 2009
To be frank it also took Just Dance 5 months to reach number 1 because she was faced with competition from established pop artists all summer long. During that time the following hits were released Disturbia (Rihanna), I Kissed a Girl (Katy Perry), Womanizer (Britney Spears), and Keeps Getting Better (Christina Aguilera). I’m actually surprised she got to be number one given she was Lady Who at that time. But even these artists couldn’t keep Gaga from becoming the new Queen of Pop
Yes that might also have been a reason
man that great fame era takes me back to my middle school years i definitely miss that gaga she was weird, raunchy outrageous like 80s prince😂 her music was clearly better
And let's not forget that she was the first person with most followers on Twitter in 2010.
I don't want to sound arrogant, but I have very particular tastes in music and art and when I saw Gaga in 2009 I knew she was the Real Deal. and After 14 years, 13 Grammys and 1 Oscar, I'm still her biggest fan.
I wish I could have been old enough to fully remember her come-up. I briefly remember The Fame era bc I was in the 4th grade. I do remember watching Bad Romance on MTV and Telephone on TH-cam and gagging. I also remember getting laughed at in 6th grade for saying that I admired Lady Gaga. I didn’t know she was a “gay artist”. I just thought she was sickening. Years later and I’ve seen her in concert twice and continue to love and evolve with her. Truly the last superstar!
those ppl who laughed at you in 6th grade - hopefully they've matured since. Probably not 😂
@@jonnyharvey they love her now bc of A Star is Born and Joanne lol. But I was there since the beginning!
@@yomama9114 damn right - there from the very beginning!!
She really was one of the final massive monoculture moments. 2009-2011 was pretty much the end of that time when stars could get that ubiquitous and big. Her Taylor and Beyonce still being around now also shows that some of these megastars got very lucky debuting in that pre-social media/streaming age and carrying over into the present. Newer artists feel so niche and small now.
Sis can u uh ...share where ur PFP from
@@ephemeralexistence578 Cain and Kent from Corbin Fisher sis
Such a great and thorough video! It's so funny, because my intro to Gaga was seeing a video of her performing at the Miss Universe pageant and I knew when I saw it that she was incredibly talented. Fast forward years later, and I would be in audience for her Enigma Las Vegas show and her Chromatica Ball. Such a legend! 💜
Thank you 😀😀 U saw Enigma - I’m so jealous. I watched clips of it on TH-cam
"Just Dance" was not actually released to the radio in July, at least not officially. It was issued to top 40 and rhythmic programs in September.
I said it was released April 8th - I saw that info in multiple sources. I assumed it was to radio, but maybe it was just to the clubs?
@@jonnyharvey From what I saw, it was first and foremost digital release, however I'm pretty sure that behind the scenes Interscope was trying to promote it to radios. But those radio releases are so tricky, because not every song that gets into airplay rotation is documented sadly or official release is way after it got steam on radio.
I was an 8th grader/ freshman in hs during this era. I remember seeing her videos trend on TH-cam & all the girls at school were obsessed.
Same - how could you not me? 😂
@@jonnyharvey I remember seeing girls at school with her on their binders
Gaga was a cultural reset. She emerged at a time when there was no space for weirdness in pop music, the biggest pop stars just had to be pretty. Katy Perry was a bit weird, but in a cute way. Gaga was weird weird, so unapologetically herself! That inspired me so much as a teen who felt different than most people around me, it was cool to be weird and, well, that feeling made me act in ways that make me cringe now when I remember, but it's a part of life, right?
She really created magic with RedOne, but aside from making me dance to her sound, she got me into bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure. What other contemporary pop singer ever referenced so many outstanding artists like Bowie, Hitchcock, Kubrick, to name a few? She was the real deal. Great video!
Thank you 😀😀I should’ve used that term in the video ‘cultural reset.’ Great phrase
The biggest pop stars didn’t just have to be pretty. Y’all continue to rewrite history and it’s strange.
I couldn't agree more that her level of kitsch would never work if she weren't so talented.
Thanks - at least sb agreed with me 😀
Exactly! She knows how to make it fun when it could look just silly. Same with campy acting looking absurd on some actors and hilarious with rather precise others who got the insights. 🤔
Just Dance, NYE 2007/2008 I played it for the first time and I remember people were confused who it was. I gave them Gaga's MySpace and she blew up right after.
Every single words and letter that is im this video is well research, such a monumental case study on the BEST performer and recording artiste, the one and only Lady GAGA....!
The Fame era sounds so exiting I SO wish I was old enough to experience it😭😭LADY GAGA IS THE QUEEN!!!💜💖💝👑
it was an epic era. I guess you can re-live a lot of it with TH-cam though
I so happy u made this video. Bc her come up was my childhood and she one the major artist, beside Beyoncé that I was very much a big fan (and still am). And I think a lot ppl forget how much of an impact and continuing impact she has in pop music and the landscape bc she brought back the excitement and artistry to music and fame. The risk she also took to her career further to jazz and making a soft -rock album . Like this woman is the last superstar in the sense of how she came up to be and remain a force to the culture
Yes I should’ve emphasised more in the video what a huge risk taker she is - there was nobody doing the pop art thing when she came along - that’s why it took a while for some people to come around to it
geez i remember her performing the newnownext awards it'll always be something to say you were there in the beginning
Wasn’t that the very first TV performance?
I love Rihanna and Beyonce so much, but Lady Gaga’s impact has dominated the world that even my fave girlies started dressing eccentric and outrageous outfits! Lady Gaga is a superstar!
Agreed 👍
2011 was definitely Gaga's year. She was literally everywhere, the anticipation for her music videos was off the hook, every one of her performance was a talking point the next day at work. I don't think I had seen anything like since Michael Jackson.
I remember seeing her live in London in 2010 for a mere €30. I had bought the ticket just because I enjoyed Bad Romance and thought it would be a fun night. I was shocked at how elaborate the show was and how talented she was for her first concert tour. That's when I became a "fan".
Ever since, she's just got better and better and if she continues I'm sure she'll become a legend.
We had a show that started here in Aus in early 2008 called make me a supermodel and The fame was the Theme song for it. A couple of months before just dance first dropped, I was an official gaga fan before y’all lol
You beat us too it 😀
Great video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I remember this era well. I followed her rise very carefully 😻To me POKERFACE is an absolute CLASSIC pop track! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you 😀 Pokerface is a bonafide classic
I was going to say the same thing. She performed her rehearsal set at Purdue and U of I for free. Everyone was extremely impressed. Her crew also went around the quad during the weekend to do fun dancing costumes. It was really funny! This was interesting! Her movie acting has been for to watch too lol!
Purdue - when was this?
@@jonnyharvey In 2008, when she first debuted her album. I remember that Pokerface was out for a few months and started doing really well. She was doing some sort of big ten tour. I remember that she stopped Indiana and University of illinois. I remember seeing her on youtube and tv but not really being that familiar w/ her. I was at my fraternity house-we lived right behind the concert hall-she took her piano outside and started singing. At first, I thought that she would stop or only do a few songs. But she was outside for an hour or two-alot of folks stopped on the quad and were really impressed. I'll never forget it-I became a big fan then.
@@jonnyharvey Your channel is well put together. I enjoy it alot! It brought a fun memory.
@@raycarter8070 thank you 😀😀
moreeee content about Gaga pls ❣
Yes I will do Fame Monster before end of the summer
love your videos! thank you for the great analysis. good to know that besides gaga's vision and passion there was a marketing machine behind her. troy carter wasn't mentioned even once but as far as i know he was responsible for 90% of the business decisions. laurieann gibson's contributions are also quite significant. the retinue makes the king! the queen in our case.
i hope it's a series and there's a chance to see vids about the fame monster and my favourite gaga album born this way. ❤
Thank you 😀😀 thanks for the feedback. Definitely doing the Fame Monster soon. I didn’t come across much info on Troy Carter except for when they parted ways. Yes I should include sth about Laurieann Gibson the next time
In Sweden Just dance topped 3 so we loved her sound ❤
Well Sweden knows a thing or two about great pop music 🙌 I think it was one of the first countries it hit big.
Thanks for making this video. Hoping for more Gaga videos soon. It's just funny how other fandoms discredit her impact and her work. She showed much respect to the musicians who influenced her. I don't care what others may say about her, my Queen is unproblematic and not bothered. I am a proud Little monster since 2008 til forever.
Thank you 😀😀me too
You forgot to add that everybody was working with RedOne after his success with Gaga
For example Jlo with her big hit On the Floor
No I didn’t forget to add it. I couldn’t include everything cause I’d never have got the video finished. It took my two weeks. It’s not a definitive account of the era. And I kinda thought everyone knew that info already
I just stumbled upon your channel. Your presentation, narration and the bloopers at the end are really sweet. Not even a Gaga fan, but you kinda convinced me that she's actually something else. Thanks for the video :)
thank you 😀😀
"gaga new that the inaccesable superstar of yesteryear wouldnt connect" but thats exactly what she did and why she was so famous, she was elusive, mysterious and aloof.
Absolutely wrong. She was part old school superstar and totally interactive with her audience.
Thanks so much for the video!! Haha I love you, time to watch now!
Thanks 🙏😊
I always live for Gaga costumes.
I love Gaga so much🥺
Actually since the 70's some fanbases like Elton John or The Who ones had nicknames but as you said Lady Gaga popularized it! 👍
I kinda remember it being a thing in the 70s but yes I need to look into it
@@jonnyharvey Sadly I saw it on TV in an Arte documentary about groupies that I can't find online now but it was in french anyway... 😅 Maybe it had subtitles if I can send it to you. They said Elton's ones were the rockets. ☺️
@@flazeda8743 thanks I'll google it
@@jonnyharvey You're welcome! And congrats for all your great vids!
I am blessed to have witnessed this in this lifetime
Oh you mean Gaga, not my video? 😂😂
Trust me when I say that everyone AND their mamas were apart of the Gaga Mania back in the day. You just had to be there!!!
she really took over the world 2009-2010 😀
I’ve always wondered what it was like watching that VMAS performance live on TV or in person
i really llover her, she's so complete and talented, none si like her, and love the way she loves her fans
Wow thanks for this vid. She was/is SO good.. people forget how great she is.. they aren't doing it like her anymore in pop.. it definitely feels like something is missing. She's such an inspiration 🌟Definitely helped shape who I was growing up 🙏
Can't wait to deep dive into this
It is so insane, in a good way, this kind of video. Bc 10 years ago lady gaga was the crazy one. And how she changed the game is such an inspiration as ever.
14:28 don’t forget the iconic IKEA venue 😍 been a fan since the day I saw Just Dance play on MTV at like 5 in the morning.
I think I included the IKEA clip at the very end just after the bloopers - I think that's it
@@jonnyharvey haha you’re good, loved this btw it was perfect
@@CoconutGirl333 thank you 😀😀
Lady Gaga.
Took bits of madonna, and Britney Spears blackout album. Along with her own style. And ran with it.
Introduced the pop genre for 2010s
Been a fan since I was 6, ever since she dropped poker face as a single on my birthday, genuinely felt like a birthday present from her. I was that weird kid that obsessed over her and loved everything she did, even if I didn’t understand it since I was like 8. Then I looked back into it all when I was 13-14 and I fell even more in love! There’s no other artist I connected with as much as I have with Gaga, with how artistic and haute couture she is (or was considering she seems to have retired that aspect of her?), even though I’ve come to love Madonna and Taylor, Ive had an emotional connection with gaga because of just how long I’ve been a fan and growing up with her.
Also coincidentally I published a music mix of her music literally yesterday and you dropped this today😂
thanks for sharing - yes you grow up with an artist you always feel a real connection with them
A star was born ❤❤❤
😀
Gaga Minogue 👌
I didn’t mention that but I think that would need to be for the BTW video - I think she drew on Kylie more for that
This is outstanding! Great and educational.
Thank you 😀😀
I would love to see you do Amy Winehouse next and her involvement in the British Soul movement at the time. If I remember correctly Gaga said that Amy was a big inspiration of hers which is crazy because I love them both and they do sorta look the same.
If you want to know how much Gaga changed music, and FASHION? and FASHION IN MUSIC?! Just look at pictures of the runways from the Grammys in 2007 and runways of music award shows in 20010 and onward
this is a great point - thank you!!! Spot on. Gaga changed the game
Great video, you did your research, fair play!
Thank you 😀
I love gaga! Thank you!
this video was incredible wow
thank you 😀😀
This is such a great video!! Even as a 9 year old I was obsessed with the Fame and I knew how special Gaga was. I’m so glad to have witnessed her rise and that era. She truly changed my life and made my little heart so happy. I will forever be a fan!! LOVE HER
thank you 😀😀
I AM A FAN SINCE 2008. AND THIS VIDEO IS SO ON POINT TO THE POINT THAT IT CAN SLICE U😅
thank you
redone and gaga❤👏
The naming of the fanbase comments are interesting. Social media would have been key to other artists using a fanbase name, purely for ease of branding and the idea that social media have 'communities'.
I adore Lady Gaga. The Chromatica Ball was one of the best live experiences of my life up there with Madonna and Bjork and Kate Bush.
But I started out with a lot of animosity for what I thought she represented. I was a very different person then and celebrity culture felt like an assault every day. I was desperate for authenticity so Gaga from the face of it seemed vacuous and depressing to me.
Little did I know..... noone could have known what picture was being painted with The Fame and The Fame Monster! Glorious!
BIONIC 4EVA
Love ur intellectual and pop culture uploads! 🖤🎉🎉
thank you 😀😀
A living legend
damn right!!
i thank God and life for being a gay teenage in my high school years during Lady Gaga's The Fame era back in the late 00s
Gaga has done so much for LGBTQ+ people 😀
Love it mate. Please do a Dannii / Cathy video 👍🏼
Thank you - I’d love to do a Cathy Dennis one. Thanks for the suggestion 😀
For „forever“ u need to put out more music, she changed a decade, yes. But as much as I like her: she used what was already there in the last 2,5 decades and repackaged it (very nicely), in music and in appearance.
Yes but the effects of her impact during that period can still be felt today
She has vocal talent, song writing and dance. All of this turn her into megastart.
She had everything. She ticks every single box. Arguably more than anyone else
queen
this wonderful video needs a part two
thanks - just finished it this week th-cam.com/video/EbtR4IajrPU/w-d-xo.html
After watching her Paparazzi video when it dropped, I looked over to my friend and said you now the next Madonna everybody always talks about and I never see, well I think she just might be the one.
Yeah I remember watching that video for the first time - and I knew I had just witnessed something huge.
....I'm going to CRY...I was in the Music Industry doing Dance Music PR, 1992, up until Summer 2005; I was SO burnt out, I didn't want to deal with it anymore...One Day, I went to a Used CD Store (2007-ish), and the Owner of the Store was talking to someone, and said, "...THERE HE IS!..." ...and pointed to me... (cont.)
....apparently, the Man he was conversing with, was from Interscope Records, and was looking for the BEST People he can find, to promote a new Artist, named...."Lady Gaga"....and, to help with promotion, on the Dance mixes of "Just Dance"...he SWORE she was gonna be *BIG* ......
....and, I turned it down. .....saying, "...I don't think she's gonna make it, Man...sorry....." ...joke's on ME, I see......
sorry to hear that. We all make bad calls I suppose. I don't think anyone could've predicted she'd be that big.
Very enjoyable 😊
Thank you 🙏
