What a tangled web the world of creativity continues to weave.
For, in what will be sure to have fans of Pop phenom Lady GaGa shaking their heads in disbelief, the performer has fired her long time creative director LaurieAnn Gibson and has sensationally replaced her with one of her students.
All the details below…
According to the Hollywood Reporter, GaGa and Gibson, who have been creative partners since the start of the vocalist’s career, began to experience a rift in their friendship when the choreographer reportedly admitted to using Madonna as inspiration for many of the ideas she handed GaGa.
This of course offended many in Germanotta’s support base who have years have tried to distance themselves from comparisons to the ‘Human Nature‘ performer.
As well as this, some reports indicate that the controversy surrounding the video for ‘Edge Of Glory‘ also played its part in influencing Germanotta’s decision to let Laurie Ann go.
When reports from the video’s set revealed that had creative differences had occurred between director Joseph Kahn (responsible for Britney Spears‘ ‘Toxic‘) and Ms. Gibson which led to one of his treatments being scrapped, GaGa fans took to Twitter to voice their criticism of her ,to which she told two naysayers:
“Listen u disrespectful f**k they had an issue on set I don’t lie!“
Followed by:
“Creative Changes happen always educate ignorant Monster’s!!!“
If any of these reports are accurate it would be fair to say that it was LaurieAnn’s attitude that cost her her job more than anything.
However, as the age old saying goes there are three sides to every story. In this case, it is GaGa’s side, Gibson’s side and the truth.
Now that she has been replaced by one of her own protegee’s Richard Jackson, who has been a staple in many of the singer’s videos, we wonder if Laurie will ever speak out on what really went down.
Because, as much as her Monsters may try to deny it, it is becoming apparent that many of the people GaGa started out with are continuing to be torn from her. From Pepper and Dina back in 2008, Rob Fusari in 2009 and now LaurieAnn in 2011.
Let’s hope that this is one trend that doesn’t continue.

I’ve seen many a Gaga stan call for her firing ever since the underwhelming video to TEOG came out
HOWEVER
Laurie-Ann Gibson (BoomKack) did NOT bring Gaga to the fucking top! Gaga got A LOT of criticism for her dancing during these eras BoomKack worked with her.
That being said,This news is at least two days old,and her (BoomKack’s) ego probably got her fired (I might even say she influenced Gaga’s more egotistical moments but that’s just an assumption.)
One last thing,Them monsters were recjoicing.They weren’t shocked!

I know that I can’t be the only one who thought/thinks that all of GaGa’s dance routines have been shyte, to say the least. If these reports are indeed true nothing major was lost…GaGa is known more for her outlandish outfits and notorious video’s than for her dancing ability.

I think Gaga’s choreography sucks, have for a while but even I think this may end up being more bad than good. The problem with Gaga is it takes a lot of people to make up her persona. Katy is naturally silly, Rihanna has natural swag, Beyonce has a specific successful flavor but if not for a lot of people Gaga would basically be Adele with a piano. It’s not the first time Gaga’s monsters got rude and attacked someone over twitter, Gibson just didn’t care to put on kid gloves when responding to them. and if the beef was over some moves being sampled from Madonna…then Gaga needs to fire herself for creating Born This Way and Edge of Glory both songs that sound like 80′s Madonna. The reality is there’s more than choreography to why people keep comparing Gaga to Madonna.
Smh…yeah I’m starting to think this is a sign of Gaga being on the down swing. I feel like everyone but her most loyal fans isn’t feeling the music she’s been releasing and her actual performances and shows have been kinda lackluster.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Laurieann was one of the people behind the consipracy of Christinas Bionic and one of the voices on one of the tapes talking about how to destroy her.
But anyway, the monsters are disrespectful little fucks with the nastiest attitudes and look who their mother is.

I honestly don’t think Gibson has been working with GaGa since the beginning.I’m not sure but I think she was hired a while before or a while after the Monster Ball tour…Anyway, GaGa’s choreo is mediocre and it’s not the principal element of her performing style.What really creates “GAGA” is 1)the videos 2)the outfits 3)the music 4)the interviews, so if she can get a decent creative director, then she’ll be in the same position as she is now.

Well if LaurieAnn was speaking disrespectfully about her boss then she needed to get fired. She is too friggin arrogant anyway. I think Gaga still puts on a good show, so if her star is fading a little it’s because her music from this era has been wack! I loved Poker Face, Bad Romance, and Paparazzi, and her new material is not on that level.

Sometimes I wonder why rihanna fans have stuff to say about gaga’s performances and career. they criticize her music, her dance, her style. It is annoying and thinking that they stan for someone better!! Whoever thinks that gaga’s career is on a decline. stop wishing, it’s not happening. That’s what you do, she will survive she has talent and is very creative on her own. lorrianne gibson can be replaced. there are so many choreographers out there and creative directors waiting for an opportunity.

I wasn’t aware that LaurieAnn Gibson was with Gaga from the beginning. Some of the choreography for her performances of “Just Dance”, “Poker Face”, etc. was HORRENDOUS! I thought she had some friend doing it at the time. Hmm. Yeah, I’m not the biggest Gaga fan but I definitely respect her. She’ll be just fine without Gibson. Her part in the whole equation is definitely overblown.

This is a WTF moment! Laurieann Gibson made Gaga the “dancing star” she is today! This is a HOT AS* MESS! I cannot believe she would be angry over the fact that MADONNA’s influence is VAST & WIDE! Many ppl have used her musical style (see Rihanna dressing up trying to be “DITA” from erotica but failing miserably) to start or further their careers (see Lady Gaga’s blatant rip-off of ‘Express Yourself’ a song LaurieAnn Gibson had no part of)! Girl BYE! Shame on you GAGA!

I really CANNOT with some of y’all!
Y’all overestimate her position in Gaga’s career!!!! BEFORE all of this even happened,y’all was saying “Gaga couldn’t dance” and all that shit,but now that Gaga (the boss) FIRED her choreographer (the employee) for giving some of my fellow fans (the consumers) a bitchy ass attitude (albeit them being loud and rowdy as fuck.) and not doing her JOB ,y’all say “Oh,Gaga’s the arrogant one,FUCK HER!” and “Gaga’s on the decline already, anyway” “Gimmick” this and “FLOP” that. STOP THAT SHIT RIGHT THERE!!!!! LaurieAnn was a bit “egotistical” herself giving herself tew much credit when it came to creating Gaga.IDC HOW MADONNA WAS INVOLVED IN THIS!!!! and I LOVE Gaga but she should have known what ideas that Gibson presented to her were taken from Madonna and what wasn’t so she can’t really be mad about that.Some of y’all,however, need to stop putting the blame on Gaga.

November 14, 2011 at 2:36 pm
This reminds me of Janet and Tina Landon. Tina was an integral part of Janet’s performances and videos during the incredible Janet and Velvet Rope eras. Then, Janet and Tina had a falling out, and Janet hired one of her other dancers as the main choreographer, and we got the All for You tour. Still a great show but definitely lackluster compared to her former glory. However, I think GaGa is more creative and involved in her music and image than Janet, so hopefully this will merely be a bump in the road, rather than a big fall. It’s a shame, because she and Laurieann were a great team.

Well damn! I knew shit was gonna hit the fan eventually! I always had a feeling Laurie Ann got on Gaga’s nerves and was gonna eventually get fired. I could just feel it! Laurie Ann always came across as this cocky bitch who took herself waaay more seriously than anyone else did! Especially back when she was on Making the Band, she irked my last nerve! She acts like she is the best damn choreographer that ever lived and she is soo NOT! I can understand that she is passionate about her music but she is just a fucking drama Queen.
I’m glad Gaga fired her so maybe now she can stop bitching everytime fans say they don’t like one of Gaga’s videos. I honestly think that every since the ‘Bad Romance’ video, her videos have been going downhill. Even Gaga’s fans can admit that.
Even though I can see this as a slight set back for Gaga, I HIGHLY doubt this will have much of an impact on her career. Some of ya’ll are acting like Laurie Ann invented Gaga. Just because Laurie Ann was one of the people who was there from the beginning doesn’t mean she can’t survive without her. I’m NOT a Gaga fan, but she does have a solid fanbase and the gays love her and I think they are the most supportive fanbases out.
If there is anything that is gonna be the downfall of Gaga, I doubt this is it. *shrugs*
