Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett
These two great artists have teamed up and put out an album together called "Cheek to Cheek." Gaga has released videos on youtube featuring their duets together, which in my opinion, sound wonderful! They have also posed for H&M's holiday campaign and will sing a duet for H&M's television campaign. Their album is also featured on iTunes.

Lady Gaga rallied against "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Something very significant for our time is how Lady Gaga rallied against the law of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." She believes this law is backwards, that if a soldier identified themselves as "gay" that they have to be sent home. She believes that the straight solider with the problem with a gay solider should be sent home instead. Gaga and I believe that if you're only fighting for some freedoms and some equalities then you shouldn't be fighting for our country at all.

Gaga Supports Marriage Equailty
Lady Gaga is no stranger to supporting gay marriage. She has done a lot to support the LGBTQ community and here are a few examples.
She is constantly voicing her opinion about equality and how everyone should be treated the same and how everyone was born that way and how god intended it be be that way.
In this next video she invited her "good friend" on stage during one of her concerts so her friend can propose to his boyfriend on stage.
This is another example how she is voicing and showing her support for marriage equality.

The Fame Monster: Most Recent Music Video
Lady
Gaga's most recent video, G.U.Y. (Girl Under You), has a lot of imagery
relating to being a "Fallen Angel.” It looks as if through out the video
she is a goddess and is trying to play “god” and try to clone or resurrect influential
beings, i.e. Michael Jackson, Ghandi, etc. Maybe after playing and testing “God’s”
hand she was punished and became a fallen angel. What do you think of the
video?
The Fame Monster: Timeline
(Originally from
Huntingpost.com)
(Disclaimer: I
do not own this post)
About five years
ago, Lady Gaga burst into mega fame with the force of a shooting star (that
insisted on wearing raw meat to red carpet events). But with her latest
performance largely spotlighting vomit as performance art, it's all too easy to
forget the moment when Gaga first rose into public consciousness, accessorized
by Muppets and often compared to Madonna.
So, what
happened? In just about five years, Gaga reached an unprecedented echelon of
pop stardom, only to lose her mystery to such an extent that puke-for-attention
seems almost standard. (She was puked on, it should be noted, by vomit painter
Millie Brown.) In hopes of mapping the trajectory from fledgling stardom to
bile desperation, we've tracked the rise and fall of Gaga's monstrous brand of
celebrity.
Feb. 20, 2007 - Appearing in public for perhaps the last time as the human who once
resembled Stefani Germanotta, Gaga attends the "Who's Next?
Writers on the Rise" event in New York City.
May 19, 2008 - Gaga introduces her eclectic
sartorial choices to the world at the NewNowNext Award, walking the carpet as a
pirate from a future in which there is no cure for glaucoma.
Aug. 19, 2008 - Gaga releases "The Fame"
and it eventually goes platinum, selling over 10 million digital singles and
quickly making her what Rolling Stone would later call "the defining pop star of 2009." The Top-40
quickly becomes 20 percent just Gaga.
Jan. 20, 2009 - In an interview with The Guardian,
Lady Gaga tells Laura Barton that she has "felt famous [her] whole life." Her confidence
in place of feigned surprise over her success is refreshing.
May 11,
2009 - During a spot
on "Ellen," Gaga begins her foray into absurd hats with "The Orbit," succeeds
in confounding both Ellen and America.
Sept. 13, 2009 - One of Gaga's five generally outrageous outfits at the VMAsincludes a red
lace bridal headdress that is basically what would have happened if Carrie ever
got married.
Nov. 18,
2009 - Gaga releases
"The Fame Monster" as an extended play of "The Fame." It
receives a Grammy nomination for Best Album of the Year and eventually wins her
the Outstanding Music Artist Award at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.
Nov. 27, 2009 - The Monster Ball tour begins, during which Gaga recently admitted she was bankrupt, having
put the entire $3 million in her bank account toward the stage.
Jan. 31,
2010 - Gaga arrives
at the Grammys dressed as a small universe and takes home awards for Best Pop Vocal
Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Short Form Music Video.
March 2010 - Teaming up with Beyonce, Gaga
releases "Telephone," a mini-movie homage to Quentin Tarantino. It receives skeptical reviews, but succeeds in putting her on
the map as a vaguely serious artist
June 2010 - Clad in a thong and completely
impractical gun-bra, Gaga covers Rolling Stone's best-selling issue of the year.
Sept. 12, 2010 - Gaga wears a 50 pound meat dress to the VMAs. There are reports that the offal ensemble produces a foul odor.
Aug. 28, 2011 - Gaga appears for her opening
monologue at the VMAs, fully clad in her masculine persona: Joe Calderone. She later explains the character as a New
Jersey Italian man who is "not a f--king guido."
Feb. 2, 2011 - Lady Gaga arrives at the Grammys in a giant egg. In an
interview with Ryan Seacrest, she claims to have stayed in the "vessel" for 72 hours prior to
the performance, because she "really wanted to be born on
stage."
Feb. 11, 2011 - Gaga releases "Born This
Way" and quickly hits no. 1.
May 23, 2011 - "Born This Way" (the
album) sells 1,108,000 copies in its first seven days on sale, making
Gaga only the fifth woman to hit a million plus in one week. There is some
controversy surrounding Amazon's decision to sell the MP3 for just 99 cents as
part of a Cloud promo, although 700,000 sales were met at full price.
April 27,
2012 - Gaga begins
her third concert tour, "Born This Way Ball," which quickly becomes one of the highest-grossing tours of the year.
Dec. 1,
2012 - In a
conversation with fans via Twitter, Gaga reveals that she had already
written "like 50 songs." for the then-forthcoming
"ARTPOP."
February, 2013 - After postponing a number of dates,
Gaga cancels the remaining shows, due to a labral tear in her right hip. She
later admits (in really gruesome detail) that the hip was, in fact, broken.
Aug. 8, 2013 - Collaborating with Marina Abramovic,
Gaga produces performance art, which is perhaps most aptly described by TMZ
as "Full Frontal In Weird Yoga Forest."
Aug. 12, 2013 - Gaga releases
"Applause" one week early due to Internet leaks. It soon hits No. 1 on
the dance chart, but peaks at No. 4 on the Hot 100.
November 6, 2013 - "ARTPOP" is released to
disappointing sales (selling just a quarter of the copies "Born This Way" hit in
its opening week) and lukewarm reviews.
Nov. 8, 2013 - Gaga says she is
"depressed" after finishing "ARTPOP." "I feel empty
and sad," she says to O2. "I'm no longer the creator, I'm the
performer."
Aug. 25, 2013 - Wearing a thong bikini for the majority of the 2013 VMAs, Gaga
is still overshadowed by Miley Cyrus and a nightmarish Footlocker associate.
March 14, 2014 - Lady Gaga gets puked on at SXSW, because art (and later shares a post-show naked bathtub photo, because
hygiene).
