[[WMG: Lady Gaga does '''NOT EXIST''']]
She wears the ecentric clothes to keep you from identifying her too directly. In some random outfits she is seen with a [[https://www.google.com/search?q=lady+gaga+covered+face&hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&rlz=1I7GWYE&prmd=imvnso&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=g8nSTpjKEIfe0QHLns2RCg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBMQ_AUoAQ&biw=1098&bih=936#hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-us%3AIE-Address&rlz=1I7GWYE&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=lady+gaga+covered+face+outfits&pbx=1&oq=lady+gaga+covered+face+outfits&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=14349l16076l0l16405l8l8l0l7l0l0l57l57l1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=ce8fc40168172267&biw=1098&bih=936 covered face]]. In some pictures she even looks slightly diffrent.\\

The reason behind no '''real''' Lady gaga is because ''she'' doesn't get her money, the people who created her do, and to prevent anyone from becoming too content with the power that is Lady Gaga, they switch the actress for every apperance. If you should be lucky enough to get a random letter in your mail box, made from paper that will disentegrate minutes after being introduced to air, don't except it. Those who become Gaga for a day are sent back to their families with no memory of the entire day, and other potentialy lethal side effects.\\
Arguments may include...
* How can so many people look exactly like Gaga?
** Simple, there is such a vast population of people on this planet thatb the chances of meeting someone you look somewhat similar too is pretty high. That coupled with surgery, and the fact that Gaga was computer made from the most common looks on the planet, is how so many people can look like the infamous Gaga.
* What about the voice?
** Too easy, the voice was made in a lab, or studio. There is a voice box put into the person being Gaga for the evening. With either answers to common questions, or a link directly to the Creators so that they can speak in place of the Gaga drone.
* If there is surgery, why does she need to cover her face sometimes?
** Also pretty simple, Surgery, as any doctor can tell you, is a practice. Nothing is guarnteed, even after the millionth time doing it. When doctors make mistakes, Gaga is faceless, or covered.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga worships {{Satan}} openly and uses blatant Masonic symbolism.]]

Yes, I said it and I have the right to. It's so obvious I still don't get how people can't see it. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of Freemasonry can notice the obvious symbolism in her videos, especially ''Bad Romance'' or ''Born This Way''. She makes constant references to Aleister Crowley, to the all-seeing eye (cf. the Illuminati) and to various Masonic signs such as the pyramid, the the goat horns. Again, I'm not hating, I just state the obvious.
* Creator/AleisterCrowley was not a satanist, he even invented a religion loosely based on the Myth/EgyptianMythology and loved the concept of the Qaballah, which is defenitely not satanic. This does not mean Lady Gaga ain't deliberately using esoteric symbolism related to Luciferanism, but calling her "satanic" is insulting to the many esoteric traditions she borrows from.
* This theory is so ridiculous, I don't even... the eye symbol has been used waaaay before Freemasonry. Oh, and Satanism ≠ Freemasonry ≠ Illuminati.
** Nahh, Satan ''[[TheDevilIsALoser hates]]'' music. Creator/CSLewis [[Literature/TheScrewtapeLetters said so.]]

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is evidence we are living in a dystopian future.]]
[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=xqhz3mkvuhdpavi3ssyakabz Read here.]]
* When I mentioned this [[strike:seizure]] theory to a friend, he admitted to [[GenreBlindness being confused by the word "dystopia"]]. Knowing his vocabulary was of a respectable size--if perhaps not entirely attuned to 21st-century pop culture--I confirmed he knew the spelling and meaning of "dyspepsia". Then followed up with, "Dys''pepsia'' is when you have an upset stomach. Dys''topia'' is when you have an upset ''future''."
* Her crew sure dresses like the raiders from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''.

[[WMG: The entirety of Just Dance is contained inside of Monster]]
like so:
"I wanna just dance[All of Just Dance]
But he took me home instead..."

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Mars]].]]
Think about it! They're both singers, Gaga's really a dark haired woman, and in the Bad Romance video, she sets a guy on fire.


[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the reincarnation of Klaus Nomi.]]
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Nomi Klaus Nomi]] allegedly expressed impatience at his lack of mainstream fame, and so he's back for another crack at the whip. Both have been noted for their otherworldly personae, and both are {{Bunny Ears Lawyer}}s, heaping quirkiness on top of undeniable talent. Compare (among other things) [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gaga_on_Fame_Ball1-edit.jpg these]] [[http://www.jca-photo.com/bilder/portraits/klaus_nomi.jpg photos]].

** Does this mean she's a member of the [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Guild of Calamitous Intent]] ?

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the baby that Madonna's character kept in "Papa Don't Preach."]]

[[WMG: Lady Gaga doesn't appear in any of her videos.]]
When she appears in public, Lady Gaga is almost always wearing sunglasses or concealing her face in some way, and she's talked about how she doesn't like people making eye contact with her. But the "Lady Gaga" character in the music videos doesn't seem to have this problem. Obviously the videos are just showing an actress lip-synching, not Lady Gaga herself. We can't tell the difference because we see the real Lady Gaga's face so rarely. It's not even dishonest - she's never claimed that it's her in the videos.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is an anime EvilDiva who has escaped into the real world.]]
Gender ambiguity? ImpossiblyCoolClothes? Creepy vibe? Undeniable charisma? She's [[EvilDiva the villain]] from a show where [[IdolSinger idol singing]] is SeriousBusiness. Of course, as its not SeriousBusiness in this world, her attempt to TakeOverTheWorld with singing is doomed from the start.
* Of course, once she realizes this, we're screwed.
** SUMMON THE GAGA MECHA!!!
*** [[IncrediblyLamePun GAGA]]-GAGA-[[Anime/GaoGaiGar GAOGAIGAR]]?
*** [[JustForFun/MadeOfWin YES.]]
* Can't take over this world? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlOvfUTHfxY&feature=popular# Are you sure about that?]] That guy at the beginning looked pretty scared of her. And she does have [[AwardSnub the motivation]]...
** And take a look at the WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic section on the main page. Creepy...
* From Rangerboard [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/PowerRanger/random/LadyGagaPR.jpg Lady Gaga looking like a Power Rangers villain]]
** '''CONFIRMED by the video for 'Alejandro' '''
* As Reddit put it, [[http://i.imgur.com/4Jv2j.jpg "You are now witnessing the birth of a true supervillain."]]
* Also, Bad Romance involved a GlamourFailure, as it showed her with giant Anime eyes.
* I disagree. Lady Gaga did not escape from one, she's attempting to turn the world into one. And it's working.
** Further evidence, Kesha's newest Take It Off video, complete with anime music fightscene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HMwPcK0uIM&feature=channel
* This makes a surprising amount of sense...
[[WMG: Lady Gaga (real first name Stefani) is the time-traveling daughter of ''Baby Mama'''s Angie Ostrowiski.]]
She came from the future to save us from boredom and conventional clothes!
* Actually, it would be more realistic saying she's an AntiHero from an anime.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga has some sort of connection to either [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Daigon or Cthulhu]].]]
[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnIt3mr9rJw This.]]

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a Time Lord.]]
Well, you tell me why ''not''.
** Hell, why stop there? My guess is that Lady Gaga is ''Romana''.
* Her music can turn the manliest man into a flaming homo and the girliest of girls into a whoreish butch. Clearly she is the reason EveryoneIsBi by the [[Series/DoctorWho 51st century]]
* The SingingSimlish lyrics in "Bad Romance" are obviously her full Gallifreyan name. Clearly, her name is actually Lady Rahrahahahahromaromamaahgagaoohlala. But that would never fit on a billboard, so...
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E1TheRibosOperation It's either "Gaga" or "Fred"]].
* Could she actually be the latest incarnation of Iris Wildthyme, another extravagantly-dressed lady who has suspected Gallifreyan origins? Iris has a Mexican lover (Alejandro = Senor 105?), has a story revolving around a Poker game where she knows far more than her opponents (A Gamble with Wildthyme), and in the audio adventure 'The Wormery', Iris finds herself in a club with no fixed location, gets increasingly drunk, and the plot leads her to performing a wild dance which attracts everyone's attention, for better or worse (Just Dance) while her rival [[spoiler:and future incarnation (her Valeyard)]] Bianca attempts to manipulate the Doctor into loving her, but has to balance this against her plans to expand her business and fame throughout the universe (Love Game)... If we compare their costumes: [[http://www.obversebooks.co.uk/images/Iris_cover.jpg Iris]] and [[http://www.gagasource.com/gallery/albums/photoshoots/2009/jens-koch/011.jpg Gaga]]. Nuff said?
* And through a StableTimeLoop, Creator/LittleKuriboh's parodies are the original versions, and the loop allowed the Pharaoh's Throne video to say it was a parody, when in fact, it is the original. And when LK found out about the loop, he decided to make things go full circle by making Shady Could Have Done It Better.
* Perhaps the Gaga lady is merely a future incarnation of Missy (AKA [[spoiler: The Master]]). Her music career is one of her trademark needlessly convoluted plans to rule the world or make the Doctor evil or whatever it is she does.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the result of Cyndi Lauper's failed attempt to be a Time Lord a la ''Mawdryn Undead''.]]
[[Tropers/{{A-l-e-x-99}} This Troper™]] will sometimes tell people that Lady Gaga is Cyndi Lauper for a new generation. On closer inspection, there are an AWFUL lot of similarities between them:
* They're both Italian.
* They're both from New York City.
* They're both dance-pop singers.
* They're both active in the LGBT movement.
* They were both part of bands before going solo.
* They're both blonde.
* They both wear REALLY wild outfits.
My guess? Following ''The Body Acoustic'', which was one of the CD's involved in the 2005 Sony-BMG rootkit scandal, Cyndi finally realized that she was no longer relevant in today's society. So she tried to be a Time Lord to revive her relevance, but got the formula wrong, and, à la Sabrina in the Pokémon animé, split off a second persona that called herself Stefani Germanotta and carried on her "mother's" legacy.
* Don't know about Cyndi Lauper, but Gaga's not a real blonde, she dyed herself, originally to avoid being confused with Amy Whinehouse IIRC? For the rest, well, yeah why not.

[[WMG: Alternatively, Lady Gaga is a female version of David Bowie that resulted from his failed attempt to become a Time Lord.]]
Several years ago, David Bowie decided to gain new powers, so he attempted to become a Time Lord, but failed. A side effect of the failed attempt was the creation of a female version of David Bowie, who went to America, renamed herself Stefani Germanotta and decided to pursue a career in music in the weirdest way possible- and taking anything she did up to eleven.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the latest person to find the supercomputer from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', Synergy.]]
It explains how she went from her plain self to some who is, ahem, truly outrageous. Instead of earrings, however, she uses sunglasses to activate it.
* More likely Lady Gaga is Minx. Blonde? Check. Killer voice? Check. Plays a mean synthesizer? Check! Tight fitting and revealing wardrobe? CHECK!
* Even the opening theme song for Jem sounds like something she would write "Glamour and glitter, fashion and fame"
[[WMG: Lady Gaga is an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h47fNaOb-JU extraterrestrial]]]]
Because she's clearly not a normal human.
* An androgynous, bisexual space alien who comes to Earth to sing IntercourseWithYou anthems while wearing insane costumes and makeup? [[Music/DavidBowie Never heard that one before]].
** Coincidentally, [[http://www.gagasource.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=29&pos=2 one pic for Lady Gaga has her copying his look with a lightning bolt tattoo over her eye]]...!
** Well, she seems to think so, at least according to [[http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazine/feature-articles/lady-gaga-interview this interview.]]
** And that egg of hers is her space pod.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is from [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Transexual Transylvania]].]]
* As described in the guess above, she's an "androgynous, bisexual space alien who comes to Earth to sing IntercourseWithYou anthems while wearing insane costumes and makeup?" If that isn't Doctor Frank N. Furter, then it's clearly one of his descendents.


[[WMG: Lady Gaga will present [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy the ultimate question to life, the universe, and everything]].]]
Text all requests for clarification to 4242 now!

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is an Avatar of God.]]
Go ahead. Dispute me.
* So basically God is a merged entity formed of Music/MichaelJackson and Haruhi off his/her anti-depressants and back on LSD?
** Off her Anti-depressants [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs and on LSD]]? Why do we keep letting her hang out with that [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Kid]] I tell you [[AssimilationPlot nothing good can come of that.]]
* Maybe God, angry and upset how his word was being used to abuse and condemn his LGBT children, sent Gaga to help bring hope to people and encourage them to embrace who they are and accept one another. She references God a lot, and one of her major phrases nowadays is "God Makes No Mistakes". She's over the top because it helps people to notice and spread the message.
* I'd say she's more likely an incarnation of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Slaanesh]], with the ChaoticEvil[[invoked]] replaced by a heaping helping of IntercourseWithYou.
** It's possible she's more in thrall to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ95z6ywcBY Khorne]]...
** Or she's the Emprah (the first psyker) before he learned to control the whole "voices from the warp" thing.


[[WMG: If Lady Gaga did a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' tribute, the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt world would end]] '''OR''' [[FridgeBrilliance everything will suddenly make perfect sense]].]]
It would also probably be a great big freaking [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. Who ''wouldn't'' want to see that?
* Our eyeballs would probably burn out by then. Of course, our ears would ironically explode last.
* A mash-up. "Dance In The Dark" + "Komm, süßer Tod" = … [[Anime/ReadOrDie suicide symphony?]]

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is either a member or an agent of [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles the White Court]].]]
"Bad Romance" and many of her other songs are basically White Court theme songs. More than that though, she has the same sort of allure that Lara Raith, Inari, and the rest of the Raith clan are said to have.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a creation of Creator/HirohikoAraki.]]
Her outfits are about fabulous enough to look at place in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. God knows what her Stand is or what its power is.
* Lady Gaga ''is'' the Stand of Miss Germanotta.

[[WMG: If Lady Gaga is proof we're living in a distopian cyberpunk future, Music/{{Kesha}} is proof that it's low budget.]]
Seriously, what the hell?
* All of the budget is paying for Adam Lambert's version...

[[WMG: ''Series/{{Glee}}'' will do a Lady Gaga episode, and the universe will implode from the sheer {{camp}}.]]
And it will be the most fabulous sight in history.
* Glee just listed that its penultimate episode will pay homage to Gaga. It's called "Theatricality."
{{Jossed}}
* Jossed because of the world not imploding ? 'Cause the episode ''did'' happen.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uWfF3PnU6M And it was the most fabulous sight in history]].

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is trying to weaken the fourth wall.]]
She probably can't break it completely on her own, but she will come dangerously close.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a {{shapeshifter}}.]]
Well, why ''not?''

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the ultimate performance art about the nature of celebrity.]]
And it will culminate in her dying young, tragically, and possibly onstage.

Seriously, Gaga has been hinting at this from the beginning. In interviews she constantly muses on the nature of fame and celebrity, and how it ultimately destroys its children while audiences watch and applaud. "Paparazzi" and its video are about the obsessive, destructive relationship between the media and celebrities, and during a performance of it at the Video Music Awards ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-XIkaeS8yc she pretended to die onstage]]''. The crowd went wild for it. Building on this, other skits have involved things such as her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehJ4PB5o6cA being sacrificed]] because fame made her into a "monster". She's been known to continue performing even when on the verge of passing out, possibly to help familiarize her audience with her eventual death. And her second-album song "Dance in the Dark" implies that she will be joining other icons who died tragically and young (such as Princess Diana).

And how has her career been? She shot to sudden stardom at a young age with multiple number one singles off her first album... titled ''The Fame''. She wears the most outrageous, attention-grabbing outfits both onstage and off, which keeps people talking about her. More and more product placement has crept into her hit videos, to the point of being interpreted as parody. She has announced that her next album will be "the anthem of a generation", which is a tall order to fill... unless it gains extra fame by being released posthumously.

Based on the name of her first album, she absolutely ''had'' to become successful in order to avoid a HarsherInHindsight.

After a couple years on the scene more and more people are calling her iconic. What's the one certain way to [[TooCoolToLive stay iconic]]?

* And [[MessianicArchetype messianically]]. Don't forget messianically.
* So for Gaga, "So Happy I Could Die" isn't a trite phrase, but a literal expression of hopefulness at the prospect? (Putting it another way: there is definitely '''not''' a comma after "happy".)
* 'To the point of parody?' She had product placement for ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquer Tiberium]]'' in the Telephone video.
* It's probably more of a satire, really. There's her name, which comes from Queen's song Radio Gaga. There was the dress of meat, symbolizing that culture sees stars as pieces of meat to be traded until it's used up. "Bad Romance" is actually about performers wanting the love of the audience. "Born this Way" is about her not being able to be herself and get popularity as Stefani Germanotti. "Applause" is comparitively open about what it is.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is some sort of mannequin with [[TheFaceless no real identity]].]]
Think about it - she gets to model tons of outfits, doesn't seem to keep a consistent voice between songs, and... I don't know. Apparently she stays away from... er... male suitors for whatever reason - what if she did it due to being about as gendered as a Barbie doll?
* Oh my god, you're right! Series/{{Dollhouse}}!
** Those pods at the beginning of ''Bad Romance''! Her deliberately artificial persona! Sudden deaths, playing with tropes, [[Creator/JossWhedon it all fits]]! Lady Gaga is a Doll who's had a composite event, but is too high-profile for the 'House to do anything about! She's dangerous! She has to be stopped! I've got to tell someo
* There's evidence for this! For example, consider this line from the song "Fashion": "Fashion, put it all on me, I am only what you want me to be."
[[WMG: Lady Gaga's plan is working.]]
Just look at how many more Music Videos look like dystopian cyberpunk/urbanfantasy worlds than they used to! THE FUTURE IS COMING, AND IT WILL HAVING A CONFUSING SENSE OF STYLE!

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a [[Series/{{Dollhouse}} glitched Doll]].]]
The Dollhouse hasn't been able to get her back to the House yet to fix her. She suffered a composite event but something went wrong and she managed to escape the chair before all the imprints were loaded into her head. As a result, she became overly ambitious and daring, willing to try out any crazy idea- hence the crazy outfits and insane videos- and her imprints keep surfacing to provide the ideas for her songs to her original personality- i.e., Stefani Germanotta- to create. So far, the personalities are working well together, but who knows what might happen in the future...

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is recruiting other celebrities to help her take over the world.]]
Music/{{Beyonce}} is [[TheDragon her dragon]] and Music/EltonJohn is the head of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad. Yes, it's much like every other Gaga-takes-over-the-world theory on here, but this time she's ''not'' the only one in on it. With every [[DreamTeam celebrity mash-up]] she does, she's slowly recruiting for her army.
* There have been a lot of posthumous Lady Gaga/Michael Jackson mash-ups. Does that make Michael Jackson Gaga's SpiritAdvisor?

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a female reincarnation of [[Film/VelvetGoldmine Brian Slade]].]]
His mainstream success under his "Tommy Stone" persona wasn't enough to make him happy, and he died young in the mid-1980s. The Gods of Glam allowed him another chance to fulfill his sparkly destiny without making the mistakes that brought him down in the 1970s, and reincarnated him as a bisexual American female avant-glam-pop star. Lady Gaga is carrying on her predecessor's divine mission of fabulousness, sparkles, and artifice - but, one hopes, without falling into her previous incarnations drug abuse, narcissism, and ill-advised publicity stunts. (Although, like Slade, she has pulled a "dying on stage" act in a different context.)

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is executing a grand trolling of the music industry.]]
We have video footage of her performances before adopting the Lady Gaga image, which prove that she has both a good voice and decent enough songwriting ability. However, the execs in the music biz obviously didn't see much promise in "bland" sort of music, and rejected her from a contract; I believe she's said as much, but I can't remember for sure. As a result, she reinvents herself in as over-the-top a way as possible, begins writing music that is perfectly calculated to be lapped up by the modern culture (including the conscious decision to NOT use her voice to its fullest extent), and tries again. The music industry can't resist. I greatly suspect her entire rise to fame has been a plot to show the hypocrisy of the music industry, and doubly a sort of grand duping of the current culture.
* I would also predict that, if the culture's short attention span kicks in as it likely will and she drops out of the public eye, she'll change her style again and find a new fanbase, as it's obvious she has a Bowie-like chameleon tendency. Look how many times HE changed styles in a given decade.\
* Well, really, it's not necessarily "trolling the music industry" so much as "smart business sense". Sad to say, really.
* To add to this WMG, I'll submit the idea that she was hired by 4Chan to troll the music industry, which 4Chan decided that it wanted to wreak havoc in the music industry for the lulz.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is actually [[VideoGame/{{Eversion}} Princess Nehema]].]]
She apparently thought that this world was a bit too boring for her tastes, so she took on the identity of a promising singer from New York in order to spread her influence via music and turn the world into something suiting her own tastes. Just ''look'' at the Commonplace Book quote that ''Eversion'' is based on.
-->39 Sounds—possibly musical—heard in the night from other worlds or realms of being.
Also, think of it this way: at first, she didn't really seem like anything too special, but her songs were pretty catchy. As her popularity grew, she began to show her true colours and things began to look a little... darker. By 2011, we're probably going to GoMadFromTheRevelation.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a Champion of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Slaanesh]].]]
Her ascension to daemonhood comes at the end of the "Alejandro" video.
Worshippers of Slaanesh are obsessed with pleasure and obtain it through any means, such as elaborate fashion, art, music, and sex, with violence added in as well. Nicely summarized by her performance at the [=VMA=]s.
* I actually came to the page just now to propose that Lady Gaga IS Slaanesh.
* And ''I'' came here to propose that the prevalence of short hair in her Alejandro outfits was a ShoutOut to the Adepta Soritas. I think you may have changed my mind.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Cylon]].]]
And she has a [[EvilPlan plan]] that is working already - exploring the powers of MemeticMutation on Earth.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the product of Alejandro Jodorowsky's artistic esssence and Stefani Germanotta's talent and ambition.]]
Okay follow me. For starters her outfits are very extravagant and vaguely sexual. In quite a few of his films his characters have been known to dress strangely and extravagantly, see the Holy Mountain. Also there is quite a bit of ho yay in his films, and we all know that Gaga loves the gays. Furthermore there is a very paparazzi feel to Fando's mother. Also when Fando Y Lis came out in Mexico the people were scared because they thought he was a vampire. On occasion Gaga has been known to pretend to be a vampire to scare off paparazzi. Because o this evidence I would conclude that her song Alejandro is about her trying to figure the spirit of his art out.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga will play [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers Belarus]] in an upcoming Live Action film.]]
Alright, so I ripped it off a Facebook fan page. But, go ahead, ''try'' and tell me that wouldn't be fuckin' ''amazing.''
* It ''wouldn't'' be fuckin' amazing.
** Says you.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is actually an Eldritch Abomination, similar to [[Creator/HPLovecraft Nyarlathotep]].]]
She (it?) feeds on Fame. Her hunger has grown, and her methods to gather Fame have expanded to the point of insane brilliance. Look at the Telephone video for the most prime example: SHE'S [[GirlsBehindBars IN PRISON]]. Where does she keep getting those bizarre outfits from? Who is doing her hair and makeup? She is assembling increasingly bizarre forms of appearance from the disjointed pastiche of human fashion and culture. Her ultimate goal may be to gather enough Fame until she undergoes a [[OneWingedAngel further transformation]] into an [[AGodAmI unstoppable force]].
** And poor Stefani Germanotta is the unfortunate Earthling who just happened to be going for an evening stroll in the place where Gaga's portal into our world opened. Miss Germanotta was the first human being that Gaga saw on Earth, and thus Gaga attached herself to Stefani, taking over her body and using it as a vessel, absorbing Stefani's memories so as to navigate our world better, and gradually changing the body's appearance more and more as time goes by. Meanwhile, poor Stefani Germanotta is still trapped in her own body, stuck in an soundless AndIMustScream scenario, forced to silently watch as Lady Gaga uses her body as a vessel through which she can interact with humans and take over our world!
*** Building off that last addition to the theory, the only way Gaga can be defeated is if Stefani manages to gradually regain enough strength to wrestle control of her body away from Gaga.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a [[Literature/TheBoysFromBrazil boy from Brazil]].]]
She's a clone of Hitler, somehow made into a girl. (Possibly because it's easier to take over the world if you have bewbs. Everybody knows that.) She has an army of gay Nazis.
* She rapes the Nazis, who are so traumatized they switch teams. And everybody knows that Lady Gaga can control the minds of gay people when she wears more than 5 pounds of make-up.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga doesn't exist. We've all just dropped acid and we're never gonna crash.]]
Well, do you have any other explanations?

[[WMG: Gaga is a major {{Otaku}} amd she's trying to get America to become them as well.]]
Come on! The ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' references? The ''Franchise/OnePiece'' ShoutOut? The {{Moe}} eyes? The odd fashion sense? The hair? She's young enough (24) to fit the demographics,
* Not limited to anime, there are a number of Shout Outs to the original Command and Conquer in the video for Telephone.
* Isn't this actually true? I seem to recall it coming up in various things written about what Stefani Germanotta was doing before the Lady Gaga personality.
* She does the [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Mikuru Beam pose in ''Bad Romance'' and a dance step from Hare Hare Yukai in ''Telephone'']].
* The shoes she wears in ''Alejandro'' when dressed as a nun about to be raped look similar to [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Rachel Alucard's]]
* And according to some, her appearance as seen in a recent charity concert in Japan was an attempt at cosplaying [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]].

[[WMG: Gaga's master plot is get acceptance for the sub-cultures of America.]]
Homosexual, [=BDSM=], Rubber-fetishists, it makes sense man.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a [[Literature/{{Twilight}} sparkling vampire]].]]
...and that's the ''real'' reason why she wears so much makeup.
* To add onto this, she's not just any sparkling vampire. She's ''[[LivingLieDetector Maggie]]''. Y'know, the little Irish one? Two years after ''Breaking Dawn'' occurs, Maggie decides to do something with her eternal life and get a record deal, taking up the name and eventually becoming Lady Gaga. She eventually finds her mate after the last book, who helps her write a few songs, and got her into the business via a close friend (similar to Jasper and J. Jenks relationship). Stefani Germanotta is really one of Maggie's last living relatives, who handles photo shoots, press conferences, etc. The reason Maggie herself doesn't appear in those things? Meyer lied, and vampires can't really appear in photos. Maggie may also be slightly camera shy, if Meyerpires ''can'' appear in photos.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Sheryl Nome.]] ]]
I'm surprised no one beat me to this.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga isn't actually as over the top as she acts.]]
Most of her songs are extremely normal. There's nothing deranged or crazy to match all the outfits. She was also fairly normal before, with her only unusual trait being that she'd play in lingerie from time to time. Of course, if this is an act, why is she doing this? Well, one reason is obviously for the publicity. But it may have also been an attempt to be discovered as well. You see, Miss Germanotta did most of her early gigs in New York city, where singers with pianos are a dime a dozen. In order to stand out enough to get noticed, she had to do something different.
Plus, being a crazy rich person is fun.
* Obviously true, though her hatedom would probably disagree.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a time traveler from one of several alternate futures.]]
She was sent back to influence pop culture as much as possible in an attempt to steer humanity towards a CrystalSpiresAndTogas future. Unfortunately, several other timelines had similar plans, since [[IWantMyJetpack they could never be satisfied with how the future turned out]]. Other time-traveling celebrities may include, but are not limited to:
* Music/{{Kesha}}: Attempting to sow rebellion to prevent what she views as an overly restrictive {{Dystopia}}.
* Music/JustinBieber: Was told that "people would love him" in our time period, but was actually sent back as a warning against mainstream use of some sort of harmful food preservative or [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic engineering technique]] that would cause mass sterility and make humans almost completely androgynous.
* Alternatively, she wasn't sent back for any real reason, but is trying to do that anyway. Hence the oddness.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the mother of Music/MileyCyrus.]]
Music/BritneySpears is the other parent. If you're wondering how that works: it's Lady Gaga. She'd find a way.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga will be the next President of the United States.]]
...and her vice president will be a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg ninja penguin]]. A cyborg [[GratuitousNinja ninja]] penguin ''that wears a cute little top hat''. [[RuleOfCool Yes]].

[[WMG:Lady Gaga will lead to Music/JustinBieber being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap by appearing in a Lady Gaga video.]]
He will play a caustic Deconstruction of himself. The video would start with Lady Gaga pregnant, would then segue into the child growing up. Lady Gaga develops a hatred for her son. She would at this point be old enough to be less popular as a celebrity, so to get money she has her son castrated to make him a popular singer himself, and then would get the money out of him a la GaryColeman's parents. It works... for a while, but the kid has a psychological breakdown and becomes a transsexual, and in his last appearance he's in a full dress. It then cuts back to pregnant Lady Gaga, reveals the whole thing was just her imagination, decides she doesn't want to deal with such a scenario, and gets an abortion.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is an [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} Umbra Witch]].]]

Rampant sexuality in pretty much everything she does? Check. Outrageous hair and outfits? Check. Wields outrageous weapons in unorthodox ways? Check. It all just fits, really. The fact that she looks kind of like Jeanne also makes me think this...

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a Sailor Scout.]]

You only have to look at her interaction with her fans and her support of gay rights to realize she is a crusader of love and justice. However, instead of fighting the monsters generated by the Negaverse, she uses the purifying powers of her spells (honestly, don't "Bad Romance" and "Love Game" sound like Sailor Venus attacks?) to try and dispel the despair and loneliness in the hearts of those who hear her music. It doesn't work for everyone, obviously, but for those fans that are cleansed by her music, they look to her as the savior of the music world. And to hear her talk about her relationship with her fans, it's like she loves them in a [[MessianicArchetype Messiah-like capacity.]]

And her various crazy outfits are the ways that her sailor fuku manifests itself. Every time she transforms, it's a new and different look, generated by her own soul.
* One wonders what this theory implies about her soul then...
* Or she could be abusing the Disguise Pen/[[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon Teletia S ...]]
* Actually... theories earlier on this page suggest that Lady Gaga is using her music to mock/tear down ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and all it embodies. There's a theory on the ''Twilight'' WildMassGuessing page that ''Twilight'' is, in fact, a plot by the Negaverse to harvest the energy of young girls who read the books and watch the movies. When the Negaverse is in town, who you gonna call?

[[WMG: Lady Gaga killed Princess Diana.]]
Papa-paparazzi

[[WMG: Or alternately, she didn't kill Diana...but she knows who did]]
And all her songs have hints and clues as to who it is. You see, she wants people to figure out the truth, but she's afraid that if she reveals it straightforwardly, the OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness / AncientConspiracy that killed Diana might go after Gaga as well. So instead she drops clues throughout all her songs and videos (and even her costumes), in the hopes that the public will eventually put the pieces together, and that this time there will be too many people for the AncientConspiracy to deal with, and that they will finally be brought to justice. This is also why she pretends to be a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: she's hoping that by ObfuscatingInsanity she can convince the members of the secret conspiracy that she's not a real threat.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is the Anti-Anti Christ.]]

I started developing this theory while listening to WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows. She was put on Earth to tempt man to evil with the power of rock. She instead decided to mess around and make MindScrew pop videos, but she can't quite cover up her demonic characteristics, e.g. scary-ass eyes, inexplicable charisma.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is a time agent, as well as her own mother, her own father, the progenitor of her own StableTimeLoop, Music/JustinBieber, and Music/JohnLennon.]]

From a timeline in which sex is mutable, her family wound up at the turn of the 21st century on a mission, and while learning the piano, she inadvertently found herself trapped as a young man shortly after her piano training, lost much of her skill, and became Justin Bieber. As Bieber, he/she came into a brief, clandestine affair with the biggest popstar on the scene. It was when he/she had improved in both skill and impersonating a man that she was pulled into a mission involving [[WhoShotJFK the Kennedy assassination]] and became a pop star of a much better class - namely, John Lennon, until he/she was shot and rescued by his/her agency, after which she, having more control over her estate, became a woman again and went back to a bit after she started her piano training, got pregnant from a brief affair with a certain pop star, slipped off to have the child in the future, and the rest is history. This is why she appears to have a penis in some shots - [[AWizardDidIt she can do that]] - and why she seems to have aged a decade or so (her people, including [[Music/DavidBowie her cousin David]], have vastly extended lifespans) in the interim. (That sound you hear is Heinlein rolling in his grave.)

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is from the Dragonball Z universe.]]

She probably used the Dragonballs to become talented and ultra-famous and travel to our world. The evidence is in the shoulder pads.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is actually [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Elesa]].]]
[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Seri]][[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Black_White_Elesa.png ously]].
* Elesa also gives a speech about the importance of being yourself and following your dreams.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga will attempt to run for office in 2012.]]

She will succeed and this will be why the world ends.
* The only federal office for which she'd be constitutionally eligible would be a US Representative (likely from an urban New York district). She would have to wait until 2016 for a Senate run and 2024 for President. US Representatives do not end the world.
** The place of [[UsefulNotes/SarahPalin 2012 presidential candidate who will end the world if she wins' is already occupied.]]
*** {{Jossed}}: She didn't run for office.


[[WMG: Lady Gaga will eventually act in a ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' remake featuring...]]

Gaga - Amber Sweet

Music/DoctorSteel - Nathan Wallace

Music/{{Voltaire}} - Grave-Robber

Music/EmilieAutumn - Blind Mag

Music/JonathanCoulton[=/=]Music/WeirdAlYankovic - Pavi and Luigi Largo. [[MindScrew And they will switch places throughout.]]

[[Music/{{Evanescence}} Amy Lee]] - [[DawsonCasting Shilo Wallace]]

[[MemeticMutation You read it, you can't unread it!]]

** [[JustForFun/MadeOfWin FUND IT.]]

* Or it could go like so, for an all-popular/well-known music version, straight from the WTHCastingAgency:

Music/TaylorSwift - Shilo Wallace

Lady Gaga - [[WTHCastingAgency Blind Mag]]

Music/{{Ke$ha}} - Amber Sweet

Pavi Largo - Music/JustinBieber

Luigi Largo - Music/{{Eminem}}

** I agree with the first casting list (partly because I am a huge fan of both JoCo and Weird Al) and shouted [[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOO]] to the heavens when I read the second one.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift will do a devil vs. angel duet.]]
In the video, Taylor will wear a simple white dress while Gaga entices us to the dark side with her usual outlandish costumes.
* The only way that this can end is Lady Gaga wearing Taylor Swift's skin.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga's whole thing with dying on stage, and her illness, and the like is a PoisonPill]]
Or, rather, a handy way out. When she feels like the Lady Gaga role has gotten to be too much, it gives her a perfect out.

[[WMG: Born This Way, and its heavy religious undertones.]]
Are a deliberate set up for a DramaticChristianRevelation ala Anne Rice.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga has been planning to better the world all along.]]
She has a lot of catchy pop, and I do mean a lot. It has been proven in old videos that she can sing quite well and is using camp and craziness for effect. She has been working in this industry for a long time, she knows how it works. Now, listen to Born This Way. Not a sexual, crazy, campy, song. Its message is actually a pretty good one. Soon, she is going to tone down the camp, and use her fame to change the world somehow.
* Arugably Jossed by her Grammy performance.

[[WMG: Whatever it is Lady Gaga is trying to do in her music videos, it's spreading.]]
Let me tell you a story, Troper. Once upon a time, there was Lady Gaga. She wore some strange outfits and did some strange music videos. Each one was a little more odd, a little more cyber-punk dystopian, and a little more... well, we don't know what it was, really, but it was more. It wasn't that the videos were too strange or too weird, that would be nothing new. No, it's that there are ''symbols'' in them. Lots of symbols. Some are familiar, others are fresh. They're all somehow unsettling though. But it was fine, she was a visionary, and on the fringe.
Then one day Music/{{Kesha}} arrived. And she started doing the same things. Empty-ish Pop-y dance songs with stranger and stranger videos that slowly moved from random singing to UrbanFantasy CyberPunk Furry RPGDeathBattle Fights. And Adam Lambert. And Rihanna. And now Britney Spears, with her [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BritneySpearsVEVO#p/u/0/-Edv8Onsrgg Britney on Britney death-fight, computer melt down.]] They have the same one-of frame images of strange things, the flashes of something you can't quite make out.
And so, troper, we don't know what Lady Gaga is doing, but we know it's working. And there's nothing we can do to stop it.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] reincarnated into our world.]]
They both like to show off, and are considered crazy or reckless. They also seem to have immense confidence in themselves and their actions, like Kamina going against a gunmen with just a katana and GaGa saying her album will be the best of the decade. They both try to distill some of that confidence into other people: Simon for Kamina and the Little Monsters for GaGa.
However, their verbose confidence may not be as true as it seems. Kamina's HiddenDepths revealed in episode 12 show that he just puts on a 'brave face' to keep the others going. Lady Gaga says that she's never happy with her work, and [[http://fuckyeahladygaga.tumblr.com/post/4845422342/gaga-revealed-1-get-the-tissues-at-the-ready one of the Lady GaGa Revealed clips]] shows her taking about her own insecurities.
Of course, they have their differences, but reincarnations are never perfect matches, right?

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is using reverse psychology to rule the world.]]
Her over the top eccentricity and aesops about being yourself are all a ploy to get us to do exactly the opposite. In the future, we will all look and act exactly the same. We will have no free will. And [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking we will all wear gray.]] All while Lady Gaga rules from her throne that is neither sparkly nor fabulous.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Ember McLain]].]]

It all fits! A crazy singer who pulls lots of stunts, inserts her name into every song of hers, and said songs allow people to express their individuality but they all do the same thing to express their individuality, (monster claws, Ember merchandising) and she's really a ghost who feeds off attention, and ll her fans are obsessive devotees. Now, am I talking about Gaga or Ember? Lady Gaga as we know her is the vengeful, crazy ghost of Stefani Germanotta... and Bad Romance is the story of how she died.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is [[Webcomic/{{Starslip}} Xxxyyy]].]]
MadArtist? Check. Wears weird outfits and makes confusing works out of unlikely materials [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible as an]] artistic statement? Check. Getting more and more outlandish with time, possibly as part of a SpringtimeForHitler gambit mocking their industries, but finding that people keep eating it up? Double check. All we need is a music video featuring her in bed with the Chronomancer to prevent her assassination by TimePolice trying to maintain a TheSingularity, and it'll all but confirm it.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga's future costumes will include a fursuit.]]

[[WMG: In an alternate universe, Lady Gaga is...]]
...an [[AntiHero Anti-hero]] / [[AntiVillain Anti-willain]] in a war between all sorts of musicians and bands.
In said universe, she also pulls multiple [[HeelFaceTurn heel face turns]] and [[FaceHeelTurn face heel turns]], and is, overall, rather ambiguous in terms of her character motivations in said universe. Think about it: The Fame is bright and poppy, The Fame Monster is darker, and then Born This Way goes BACK to being poppy. Her albums have the same track record as her alternate universe self: they go up and down [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism the Sliding Scale of Idealism v. Cynicism]].

To explain what, exactly, she keeps turning to, in this alternate reality, the BigBad is Music/JustinBieber, therefore, each time she's a heel, she sides with Bieber. Also, in spite of not being the main character, due to a lack of characterization, she's the EnsembleDarkHorse, and SOMEHOW plays an important role, and interacts with the main 'character', which is our hero or sorts, in her face phases.

Now, who's our hero in this alternate universe? [[Music/PanicAtTheDisco Brendon Urie]]. In this universe, he's the KnightInSourArmor / TheSnarkKnight with a magical steampunk mike, similar to the one in The Ballad of Mona Lisa's music video. Considering who the Big Bad is, and the fact that musicians like Music/OzzyOsbourne would too busy doing meth in this alternate universe (like they are now, but worse), [[ApatheticCitizens making them more akin to background characters who, despite agreeing with the hero, just don't give a damn]]...well, what basically happened was that the role of hero got tossed around in a game of Hot Potato, and it happened to land in Brendon's lap, and he couldn't get out of the duty of defeating Justin Bieber. Oh, and here's a bonus guess for the plot of all of this: Gaga was Mary from The Ballad of Mona Lisa. She was disguised to kill Brendon for 'Lord Bieber', but it didn't work as she planned for whatever reasons unknown to us. The inconsisten hair color? She just dyed her hair for the events of The Ballad of Mona Lisa. It's so obvious that Gaga speaks as 'Mary' in Judas, thus making this theory have total sense.

Overall, at worst, Gaga is TheDragon to Bieber, with the goal of anihilating all good musicians and bands, and at best, she has a sort of [[OddFriendship screwball alliance]] with Brendon, in which good music would be restored for all, and she only turned to bad music for the sake of survival...or something. Either way, she does a bunch of treachery.

(Also, [[Music/OutKast Andre 3000]] is the mentor to Brendon and Gaga, for whatever reason he has for bothering to get involved with this whole damn mess of an alternate universe war in the first place. Music/LupeFiasco is the oddly subverted [[TheLancer Lancer]], in which he's actually a little more idealistic than Brendon (seeing that Lupe's music is about getting up and making political change in this universe, whilst P!ATD is more about...well, not politics, overall), and would actually make a better hero, if it weren't for the fact that he enters the plot later on, and makes for a good foil anyway.) Gaga, amazingly, doesn't try anything murderous on Andre 3000 or Lupe Fiasco, even whilst she serves Bieber.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga reads her Tropes page.]]

There are little things in each of her latest videos that make it clear that not only is she a complete dork; but she's taping into the same wavelength as the tropers who write about her. Where better to do that than here?

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is an alternate universe version of [[WesternAnimation/WinxClub Icy]] ]]

Just ''look'' at Lady Gaga when she dances in ''Poker Face'' and tell me she's not Icy with her hair laid down.
More accurately, she's Icy in a universe where Bloom saved the Trix from going back at Lightrock (a FateWorseThanDeath, to them), and then found out from Riven that Icy is a good singer and dancer and got her and her sisters to listen some Earth music (including but not limited to [[Music/{{Queen}} Radio Gaga]]). By the time Bloom returned to Earth, the Trix had murdered the actual Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and Icy (who happened to look like her) took her identity to start her career as a singer, with Darcy and Stormy providing her stage clothes and special effects after she started a solo career as Lady Gaga.
** Also, magic would explain a ''lot''.

[[WMG: No theory could possibly describe [[HumanoidAbomination Lady Gaga.]] ]]
Admittedly, this is less WildMassGuessing and more "it makes the most sense."

[[WMG: Lady Gaga a reverse-gender clone of [[Music/{{QUEEN}} Freddie Mercury]].]]
Because everyone wants to hear what he could have sung if he had more time.

[[WMG: Lady Gaga worships Lamashtu and is trying to spread the worship of the Mother of Monsters on Earth. ]]

She was once a bard back at [[TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}} Golarion]], but she became member of a cult of [[MotherOfAThousandYoung Lamashtu]] and converted people with her songs. After a group of adventurers destroyed her cult and killed her, Lamashtu rewarded her by sending her to be reborn on Earth, a boring little planet where Lamashtu's children were few and far between and the goddess herself was almost unknown, to spread her faithful there. Born This Way was her foremost attempt at converting people trough pop music.

[[WMG:Lady Gaga is in love with her father]]
I mean, look at the examples under OedipusComplex on the main page.

** Off her [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs Anti-depressants]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs and on LSD]]? Why do we keep letting her hang out with that [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Kid]] I tell you [[AssimilationPlot nothing good can come of that.]]

* She does the [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Mikuru Beam pose in ''Bad Romance'' and a dance step from Hare Hare Yukai in ''Telephone'']].

[[WMG: ''Bad Romance'' is about ComicBook/TheJoker [[MadLove and]] [[Franchise/{{DCAU}} Harley Quinn]].]]

** This oddly ties in with "So Happy I Could Die". When the only validating, quasi-mystical sexual activity you can get your hands on (as it were) is ADateWithRosiePalms, it's still better than nothing. Before it became all about partnered sex holding the nation together, er...

** Or alternately, the distortion (similar to melting film) is symbolic for how public opinion of the Empress collapses after her death. Gaga is TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask, or some kind of FantasyCounterpartCulture Eva Peron, whose sexuality is figuratively (or literally) the only thing keeping her nation together. When she finds pleasure and satisfaction in sex, the kingdom thrives, but as she becomes disillusioned and objectified, the kingdom suffers and dies. The whole thing is a metaphor for the real Gaga's quasi-CreatorBreakdown regarding female agency in their sexuality. Gaga cannot perform if she is lonely and all her relationships are strictly sexual, and when the men she ''wants'' a romantic relationship with are romantically incompatible.

It would explain the bizarre video. Think about the line "all your love is revenge" ... and the way that in the video Lady Gaga almost looks like she's being presented to a bunch of guys engaged in vaguely Roman-style debauchery, and in some shots she has freakishly large eyes and what looks like spikes on her back - plus the bizarre outfits. She's seducing him with the promise of "Bad Romance" - when really she means [[DeathBySex Flaming Death by Sex]]. It would explain why she [[spoiler: sets the guy on fire in the end and then is seen sitting calmly in the charred bed jauntily smoking a cigarette. She's gloating over the corpse of the one of the guys who enslaved her people]]!

...and her vice president will be a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg ninja penguin]]. A cyborg [[GratuitousNinja ninja]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin]] ''that wears a cute little top hat''. [[RuleOfCool Yes]].

[[WMG: Lady Gaga is in love with her father]]
I mean, look at the examples under ElectraComplex on the main page.

* The guys in the video, according to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, are supposed to be the Russian Mafia, who are the other antagonists in TAI besides Opal and Cudgeon. Coincidence? I don't think so.

* According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki:

Several years ago, David Bowie decided to gain new powers, so he attempted to become a Time Lord, but failed. A side effect of the failed attempt was the creation of a female version of David Bowie, who went to America, renamed herself Stefani Germanotta and decided to pursue a career in music in the weirdest way possible- and taking anything she did UpToEleven.

Gender ambiguity? ImpossiblyCoolClothes? Creepy UncannyValley vibe? Undeniable charisma? She's [[EvilDiva the villain]] from a show where [[IdolSinger idol singing]] is SeriousBusiness. Of course, as its not SeriousBusiness in this world, her attempt to TakeOverTheWorld with singing is doomed from the start.

More accurately, she's Icy in a universe where Bloom saved the Trix from going back at [[TastesLikeDiabetes Lightrock]](a FateWorseThanDeath, to them), and then found out from Riven that Icy is a good singer and dancer and got her and her sisters to listen some Earth music (including but not limited to [[Music/{{Queen}} Radio Gaga]]). By the time Bloom returned to Earth, the Trix had murdered the actual Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and Icy (who happened to look like her) took her identity to start her career as a singer, with Darcy and Stormy providing her stage clothes and special effects after she started a solo career as Lady Gaga.

* I'd say she's more likely an incarnation of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Slaanesh]], with the ChaoticEvil replaced by a heaping helping of IntercourseWithYou.

Based on the name of her first album, she absolutely ''had'' to become successful in order to avoid a FunnyAneurysmMoment.

* I dunno, [[CompletelyMissingThePoint I think I could live with a]] [[CostumePorn confusing sense of style]].

* Sounds pretty solid to me. All the people whining about the ProductPlacement are probably CompletelyMissingThePoint, considering that it's her and she never seems to do anything un-ironically.
** No, I completely get the point, and it's still BS. This is my personal BerserkButton -- even ironic product placement is ''still product placement''. There have been studies -- just SEE it and the ad's done its job, ironic or not. As one of my favorite writers explained, irony is "a leaky condom -- in fact, the same old condom advertising brings over every night."
** No one said that it wasn't intended to be actual ProductPlacement (clearly she has to pay for everything somehow). All I (original poster) meant was that she still managed to parlay it into a commentary about consumerism. That's what Lady Gaga does: She both utilizes and subverts whatever subject she tackles in her videos.
