Lady Gaga and her Bubbles for Rolling Stone Magazine

I am a HUGE Lady Gaga fan. The very first song I heard was LoveGame and was hooked from the very first line – “Let’s have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.”

I don’t know about you but that got my attention.

As I listened to the songs from her Fame album and observed her flamboyant personality and open frankness about her sexuality, I noticed how secure she appeared to be in her own skin (who else would perform at the MTV Video Music Awards covered in fake blood?)

I admire that quite a bit (being comfortable in your own skin, not being covered in blood), and even though Lady Gaga herself apparently doesn’t think she’s a feminist, her unabashed confidence in herself is refreshing.

Despite the criticism of her music, her appearance, and her strong personality, Lady Gaga refuses to let that get her down. She believes she is a rock star, that there really is something special about her. We should all be so fearless!!

Below is the music video for my favorite Lady Gaga song – Pokerface. Despite her claims that it’s just about sex and gambling, I interpret the song to mean she has the upper hand in a relationship -

“Can’t read my, can’t read my, No he can’t read my poker face (She’s got me like nobody)….”

Her songs are chock-full of these references where she is the most dominant figure in the picture – Lady Gaga clearly likes being on top.
