Lady Gaga Has Been Predicted To Fail

Behind the meteoric rise of Lady Gaga (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in real life), she has always been predicted to fail by loved ones.


Standing in all her "gaga-ness" in the April issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, Lady Gaga shares how she has been predicted to fail by her former boyfriend and her friends.

"I ate sh*t for so long, being told I didn't fit the mold and that I was 'too pop' or 'too theater'... I've always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don't understand me."

"I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f*cking deli without hearing or seeing me.
"

"My friends joke that I'm dead until I get onstage. I'm dead right now as you're speaking to me."


Endowed with musical talents, Lady Gaga started her music career by performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side. She later signed with an imprint of Interscope Records where she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists. Her vocal abilities caught the interest of Akon who signed him up to his own label Kon Live Distribution. She released her debut album, The Fame, on August 19, 2008. The rest was history.

Lady Gaga owed her success to the support of the gay community. She had difficulty getting radio airplay early in her career but managed to continue with the help of her loyal fans.

"The turning point for me was the gay community. I've got so many gay fans and they're so loyal to me and they really lifted me up. They'll always stand by me and I'll always stand by them. It's not an easy thing to create a fanbase," she was once quoted as saying.

Lady Gaga Is A Hermaprhodite?!

Lady Gaga, American recording artist famous for her techno-pop music and ever-so-strange sense of style, admits to being a hermaphrodite.


On a gossip site, the 23-year old singer has made the confirmation:

"It's not something that I'm ashamed of, just isn't something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female. It's just a little bit of a penis and really doesn't interfere much with my life. The reason I haven’t talked about it is that it's not a big deal to me. Like come on. It's not like we all go around talking about our vags. I think this is a great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable with their bodies. I’m sexy, I'm hot. I have both a poon and a peener. Big f*cking deal."

Lady Gaga's hermaphrodite revelation verifies recent allegations of her sexuality that have started from a video of Lady Gaga's performance at the Glastonbury Festival in England. The singer, while wearing a short red dress without any undies, has hopped off a motorcycle and exposes her male and female parts.
