About Lady Gaga: Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March 28, 1986, Lady Gaga is to female glam rock what Adam Lambert is to male glam rock. Her inspirations were glam rockers David Bowie and Queen's Freddie Mercury. And it's easy to see the influence that creative mastermind Madonna has had on Lady Gaga.

So blatantly multi-talented, Lady Gaga did not need to finish studying music at New York University's 'Tisch School of the Arts' when she could just break away to start performing on the rock music scene and soon get signed with Streamline Records. Verging on becoming a Renaissance woman, she writes songs, sings, plays the piano, synthesizer, and keytar (a light keyboard that straps around the neck), and she dances. She also makes nouveau fashion statements and does outrageous controversial stage stunts, such as appearing with a leg made to look like a prosthetic- thus generating the rumor that she had lost a leg. To use an insipid phrase about the exciting artiste, 'there's never a dull moment' with Lady Gaga. For Lady Gaga's official site, click here.
