Lady Gaga at Bradley Center
It’s been pretty tough to ignore Lady Gaga for the past year, 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 2009's The Fame Monster, boasted the mega-hit “Bad Romance” and the follow-ups “Telephone” and “Alejandro.” After a scrapped co-headlining tour with Kanye West, Gaga mounted her own spectacle, the Monster Ball Tour, which will continue through the spring of 2011. By then, Gaga plans on releasing a new album, the title of which will be announced when she tattoos it on herself on New Year’s Eve.
