Lady Gaga On Being Named MTV News’ Woman Of The Year
Posted on December 21, 2009 with 25 comments
MTV.com: No one had a bigger 2009 than Lady Gaga. Her hits were omnipresent. Her tours legendary. Her television appearances, well, they were definitely water-cooler material. And that’s saying nothing about her outfits, her photo spreads or her art. So it was no surprise that last week, MTV News named her Woman of the Year.
On Saturday — hours before her triumphant Monster Ball tour stop in San Diego — we sat down with the reigning princess of pop to talk about the year that was, the year that will be (from the sound of things, she’s not planning on resting in 2010) and what the Woman of the Year honor meant to her. Turns out, it meant an awful lot.
“It means everything,” Gaga said. “I’m not only flattered but really excited. It makes me want to work harder, make better videos and better shows and better music all the time. I really appreciate all the love MTV has shown me, and the support. My performance at the VMAs, for me, was a turning point artistically, and I appreciated that you guys supported me so much.”
And speaking of that blood-soaked, metaphor-heavy Video Music Awards performance (you remember it — the one where she was crushed by a chandelier, gushed gallons of blood and ultimately ascended to heaven?), Gaga counts it as one of her high points of 2009, not only because it set the stage for her current incarnation (the so-called “Fame Monster”), but because it was something she’d been dreaming about for years.
“I always dreamed about being a performer on the MTV awards. … More importantly, I wanted to be a performer, and I wanted my VMA performance to be my groundbreaking, life-changing performance,” she said. “So everything that I’d been working on was leading up to that moment, and then after that I gave birth to this new album, The Fame Monster. It was an amazing moment for me.”

Reviews:
“Lady Gaga looked absolutely glowing as she took the stage. Something about her just oozes love and acceptance, and it’s an amazing feeling to take in. She made a small boo boo a few times and pulled a Britney on us, calling us “San Jose”. The massive crowd actually counted to three during a small break in songs (right be Aljeandro) and screamed “San Diego” as loud as we could. Later, through tears in her eyes she apologized for her blunder. Obviously, we forgave her. She did not sing “Fashion” or her “non-album track” but it didn’t matter, you were too entranced by what was happening on stage to even care. She could have sang the phonebook, and I wouldn’t have cared. I was so close there were moments that she was literally standing right on top of me. I was a changed man by the end of the night. A night I will never forget.”
- Brian Burtt
“And though the show was quite a spectacle — lights! smoke! costume changes! — it was Gaga’s graciousness that made the crowd forgive the fact that at three different times during her set, she mistakenly addressed the crowd as “San Jose,” a city some 500 miles to the north. Later in the set, she apologized for the mistake, explaining that just as she was about to go onstage, she was told that the show was taking place in San Jose. The crowd cheered wildly, and all was forgiven. Of course, it helped matters that, at this point, Gaga had spent the better part of an hour positively pouring herself into every note, dance step and barely there costume. Showmanship goes a long way, after all. It was an ambitious, conceptual show, and, at nearly two full hours, it was a decidedly workmanlike effort, too. Gaga gave everything she had, and the crowd — gay and straight, young and old, all dressed in their Gaga-est getups (bubbles, feathers, lightning-bolt eye makeup and more than a few towering crowns) — matched her effort and intensity, screaming loudly, clapping thunderously, and singing along obediently.”
- MTV.com
“The Lady Gaga show I attended last night in San Diego was amazing. My friends and I waited in line the night before for over 24 hours and after seeing the show it was totally worth it. From the costumes to the dancers, and of course Gaga’s great ability to put on a damn good show, we all had an awesome time. Not only was she funny, entertaining and of course a great singer, she was personable as well and apologized after repeatedly calling us “San Jose” (apparently someone told her she wasn’t in San Diego), anyway, she was awesome! I can’t wait to see her live again.”

Reviews:
“New techno popera queen Lady Gaga rocked The Pearl in the Palms for a second night, and again it was a sold-out performance of 2,500 frenzied fans, with hundreds more waiting in the casino in hopes of securing a ticket. There is no doubt that Lady Gaga is one of the hottest acts in the music business and up there at the top. Palms owner George Maloof has been running her hit “Poker Face” as part of a new Palms advertising campaign on TV and the Internet. “It’s hard to believe, but her second show was even more exciting than the first!” George said.”
- Las Vegas Sun
“I can’t say anything else other than this show was the best, and most amazing performance I’ve ever been to. I laughed, cried, danced, lost my voice, sang, and sweat like crazy, Gaga can surely put on a show. It all started with a great opening, everyone was out of their seats screamed, danced, and jump until we finally saw her, and everyone went crazy. I was so happy, I pretty much cried. My absolute favorite part of the whole entire show was when she performed “Speechless”, and her dad was watching too, she let us sing the chorus, and it was just so much fun, and it made me feel so happy. She interacted with us, and never left me bored for the 2 hours she performed. She sang the whole show live, and she sounded great! She sounds amazing in videos, but in real life she sounds 1000x better. She is the best performer ever, and I know that whenever she’s in Vegas again, I’ll be at the show. If you haven’t gone to her show yet, I can’t really put into words how amazing it is, you’ll have to experience it yourself. At the end of the concert, I was a happy lil’ monster!”

Singles chart
Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance” is the final number one track of this decade. In its fourth week at the summit the song grows up another 8% to 409,000 points, more than enough to keep this place well into the next year. The nearest rival is Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok”, which jumps at the second place after a 7% increase to 303,000 points.
Albums chart
After an 11% sales increase to 1,161,000 copies Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed A Dream keeps a third week far away from the competitiors at the summit of the global album chart. On the year-to-date list, I Dreamed A Dream has a total of 3,492,000 copies, Lady Gaga’s The Fame achieved so far 4,983,000 copies. Now there are only two more weeks until the completion of the year-end chart. It will be an exciting battle for the top spot, both albums could reach more than 5,5 million sales. The Fame climbs one slot at No. 3 this week, with a huge 44% growth to 348,000 copies sold.

Lady Gaga: MTV News’ Woman Of The Year!
Posted on December 18, 2009 with 28 comments
It’s been a big year for Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, but there’s not much question that 2009 was Lady Gaga’s year. New York native Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta began the year as a hot hopeful and will end it as one of the biggest pop stars in the world. And there’s no one who challenged, provoked, entertained and, well, titillated us over the past 12 months quite like she has.
Her debut album, The Fame, was released on October 30, 2008, but MTV News was on the case early, and when we spoke with her four months earlier, her vision was clear even then.
“What has been lost in pop music these days is the combination of the visual and the imagery of the artist, along with the music — and both are just as important,” she said. “When I’m writing music, I’m thinking about the clothes I want to wear onstage. It’s all about everything altogether — performance art, pop performance art, fashion. For me, it’s everything coming together and being a real story that will bring back the super-fan. I want to bring that back. I want the imagery to be so strong that fans will want to eat and taste and lick every part of us.”
And it’s all come true (well, except maybe the licking part): Gaga truly made her mark in 2009 as the most remarkable pop star — and possibly the most memorable fashion figure — to come along in many, many years. She has proven herself to be both a songwriter and musician of unusual talent, — thanks in no small part to her primary producer/co-writer RedOne, whose pumping beats and soaring synthesizers drive many of her best songs — and a media-savvy public figure of equal skill. She’s both a classic pop star and one very much of the moment: Her music is dance-pop in format, but with a pop flair that stretches across many different genres and generations. Her message is provocative but positive, and she’s smart enough to engage her audience (with tweets and constant reminders of how much she loves her “monsters”) and still always keep them guessing.
Gaga’s work shows a sense of performance-art and theater that, these days, is arguably rivaled among major artists only by that of Kanye West, which is why their ultimately cancelled “Fame Kills” co-headlining tour made sense artistically (although many were baffled by it). She makes every public appearance into an event: She “died” a bloody death at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (after arriving with her “date,” Kermit the Frog), smashed bottles over her piano at the American Music Awards, performed inside a giant gyroscope on “Saturday Night Live” and raised millions of eyebrows with the “alien disco” “American Idol” appearance that introduced her to much of the world. And her brilliant music videos evoke the eras when artists and record labels actually had big budgets to spend on them. “Poker Face” is a striking statement of intent; “Just Dance” brings the viewer into a deliciously decadent house party; and her latest, for “Bad Romance,” features super-futurist sets, semi-nudity, wild costumes and the unforgettable closing image of sparks shooting out of her breasts.
All of that and much more is what made Lady Gaga MTV News’ Woman of the Year.

The Monster Ball in San Francisco – Fan Photos (by Juana)
Reviews:
“I’ve been to a lot of shows and have been into electronic and dance music scenes all over the country. This bitch blows my heart up and brings me to an excitement level that other performers just can’t begin to match. You can feel it with her, the level of excitement she brings is 100% real. It’s palpable in and around the crowd, it’s visible in her face, and her performance shows it. She’s seriously killing it with every song, every interlude, every stop-and-chat with the crowd moment. She can change the energy of the entire venue like flicking a switch just by stepping out and doing what she does – being the realest, the fiercest, and most fucking gorgeous bitch out there. It’s easy to have a good idea that you’re doing right by your fans by looking at your sales and listening to the applause; I just hope she knows how happy she’s truly making people deep down inside.”
- missgregwhorey
“I absolutely died. I am dead. Right now. What. A fucking. Event. All I have been able to say to anyone since the show ended is, “if anyone fucking believes that she isn’t a true talent, you need to see her show”. She had every single person in the room in the palm of her hand, beginning to end. She owned it and brought 1000%. The room fucking exploded from “Dance In The Dark” on. Constantly bursting with energy. I cannot describe anything, it was a huge ball of light in my heart. I will treasure this night forever, and ever. The highlight of the night was “Speechless”. I started crying when I could hear everyone singing the chorus and then I looked up and GaGa was crying too.”
- CarrieMoonbeam
“This was my first time being front row and what perfect timing. Semi Precious Weapons and Kid Cudi did an amazing job getting the crowd ready for Gaga. I really actually enjoyed them both very much. But when Gaga came out nothing mattered anymore except her. Her outfits, her dancers, and her her her! She is truly amazing. Lady was beyond what my words could mean. Overall it was above and beyond anything I could ever imagine. But the best part of the night was her looking right at me and smiling. I am so overfilled with joy because for those 3 seconds of her life she recognized me.”
