Lady Gaga at Pepsi Center
It’s been pretty tough to ignore Lady Gaga, and that’s exactly how she wants it. Regardless of what you think of her pop-tart-meets-performance-art shtick—which cherry-picks from forbears like Madonna, Blondie, Bowie, and even artists like Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman—it’s undeniable that 24-year-old Stefani Germanotta is adept at turning heads. But there’s more to Gaga’s fame than dresses made out of Kermit dolls, giant hair bows, and habitual pantslessness: Her 2008 debut, The Fame, went platinum, and her 2009 eight-song follow-up, The Fame Monster, is currently going strong thanks to the undeniable single “Bad Romance.” Originally slated as a co-headliner for a now-on-musical-hiatus Kanye West, Gaga has mounted her own headlining Monster Ball Tour, which, in terms of spectacle at least, should easily meet—or surpass—anything Mr. West had planned.
