Congratulations are in order for Pop titan Lady Gaga.
The ‘Applause’ singer earned that and more from the 46th annual Songwriter’s Hall of Fame last night, where she received the coveted Contemporary Icon Award.
Gaga was presented with the honor in front of an audience comprised of industry figures at the Marriot Marquis Hotel in New York. According to organizers, the award is bestowed upon a performing songwriter “who has attained an iconic status in pop culture.”
From where we’re standing, it’s entirely deserved!
The singer has had a hand writing most of her hits, including ‘Poker Face,”Just Dance,’ ‘Bad Romance,’ and 2013’s ‘Applause.’
Speaking on the award, 29-year-old Gaga gushed on Instagram saying…
The Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame Contemporary Icon Award. This has to be my favorite award I’ve ever gotten. I still remember dragging my keyboard up the stair of my walk up to play songwriter showcases and apply to be in songwriting forums where I could play my music for other artists and we’d critique each other. I was 15 then. I’m 29 now. In my head this is how I planned it, following all the roads I thought were right. But i’m not sure I thought about what I’d do if I never made it. Cuz I’d forever be trying. {Source}
More power to her!
Say what folk will about Ms. Germonatta, there’s no denying that she’s incredibly talented.
And while some have been itching to write her off, this year’s Grammy win for Jazz album ‘Cheek To Cheek’, critically praised performances, and TV ventures, all suggest that her career still has ample mileage.
We’re excited to see where she steers it next.
Peep some of our favourite Gaga songs below because…well…we feel like it!
I respect the real songwriters and not those who add one word to a song and call themselves songwriters.
So that would be Beyonce and Iggy.
Iggy is usually credited first as a songwriter meaning she wrote most of it. You tried but failed.
So I guess you respect how Rihanna is on BBHMM writing credits even though the writer already dishes tea that the song was writtee before it was given to her?
@LOLZ
kind of like how ne-yo wrote irreplaceable and your fave claimed she wrote it when ne-yo clocked her saying she didn’t write one word only did vocal arrangements? She also currently has a lawsuit for XO kii , her receipts are long and date way back for stealing you can’t come for anyone in that area
Whh are you telling me that as if I don’t know. Your fave is guilty too so you might wanna retire that wack shade.
But Rih isn’t the one with multiple lawsuits for copyright infringement that’s your fave
But she still puts her name on credits she didn’t write.
why do u even Stan for Keri, u must really enjoy Been at the Bottom, oh wait u probably a Bottom…
Why do you Stan for an illiterate overrated thief?
I respect those type of musicians/writers/artists as well… especially when they are currently writing hits and don’t cling to album fillers/”hits” they wrote for other artists in 2011.
LMFAOOOOOO YASSSSSSS SHADE A BIT
@emaciated african lamb
But your fave can barely sell 50k worldwide with her new album .her last relevant single she had to cling to Miguel . keri has written multi platinum hits before album fillers? Kii
How was Mimi clinging to Miguel, when he never even had a top 20 hit or went platinum before their collaboration? You should be asking yourself why Kershaw the Pigeon clung to Ne-Yo & Mr. Kardashian, yet still couldn’t get that “album” to go gold until a reissue edition. Your fav can’t even 50k views on YouTube, so how can you talk s***? ????????????????????
And PS don’t talk about writing platinum hits, when my fav has written 17 #1’s, internationally recognized hits, and etc.
That was her only successful single, Miguel can actually get a gold album while Mooriah is currently struggling f for 50k total kii. When was her last solo platinum hit? So yes you diseased a/I/ds infected African s****, she was clinging to someone more relevant ????
Keri cling to Ne-Yo? Oh you mean the multi platinum Knock you Down? But Keri had solo hits after that.. Pretty Girl Rock ????
And death@ you talking YT views when Keri’s last album sold 2x as much as Mooriahs first week , if you add Mooriahs current album and the Elephant Chanteuse together it Still wouldn’t outsell No Boys Allowed
How could it be her only successful single when she has 18 #1’s?? How can you shade You’re Mine & Triumphant when they too went number one on the same chart that you were just celebrating in the BBHMM post? You have so much to say, yet don’t realize that you self drag your s*** out of your pigeonhole. Does Mariah not have 250 million albums and singles sold? You are clinging to certifications from 5 years ago. Keri’s last album didn’t even go gold, but Mariah’s did. Memoirs made history. What did No Bird Crumbs do besides enforce Kamehameha to join the witness protection program after being mercilessly dragged by her beak?Your fav can’t even afford to pay the rent for her birdhouse. ???????????????????????????????? Sit down and wait for Mark to come walk you. ????????????
Don’t play dumb it was her only successful singlefrom the album and in years
How can you try to shade keri for past hits and then talk about Mooriahs hits from the 80s????????????????????
Gold?! Since when did the Elephant Chanteuse go gold?
If Mariah hits are from the 80’s, then so are Kanto. It’s not, but that’s her last album. Memoirs is. It came out the same year as Kerstin’s album and outsold it with half of the bitterness and promotion 19 years from debut. You can come for Mariah when you give me a reason why TEOM album outsold Kentland’s entire discography or list one of Kershaw’s platinum albums. Why brag on Keanu’s gold album if you’re going to shade Nicki’s? You are a self drag.
Yeeesss E.L Drag that Bird by its beak.
Shut up lessor hoeee
Gal you definetly topping TGJ year-end chart of the most dragged
RIGHT THO! It stays getting dragged on purpose. Like when it’s mother had it dragged from her uterus and cut the chords
Lol the Hive knows who that shade is being thrown to.
She deserves it, I’ve never been a huge fan because I’m more of a r&b fan but u can’t deny gaga’s talent she can sing and that’s all that matters and she has the stage presence. A lot of artist these days getting there lil hits can’t even sing live and struggle to dance and have to result to sexual thing etc. and I actaully liked that song with r kelly tbh, I wish her the best of luck I’m sure she will last a long time in this industry.????
She’s done
So what does that mean for Monica then sis?
Lady Gaga is still a thing? really?
Has been.
The irony.
Ok, DEATH!!
Congrats Gaga.
Keri Qween you bulldagger baffoon bad bodied built b***** go find Steve and buy a clue…I’m sorry, go find some new shade. Your “reads” have been reductive as of late 😀
I don’t shade , i state facts, you must be mad your fave is a thief? ???? how is her current lawsuit going?
Stay on topic, you hungry hungry hippo heaux
She’s soooooo 2009
When will that other girl…
Don’t be messy! LMAO
Wow first she rips off Madonna now Beetlejuice
But sis…who do you Stan for?
Andrew I saw you at a 2010 post comments section yesterday
.
You such a fossil commenter like your fav dinasaurdonna
1. Madonna is not my fave assumptions are the mother of all fuckups

No one pays attention to a Career Ender, it’s a subsaharan stalker using up all the free wifi from the hut 10 miles out of town

Yasssss you better be the one tryna eat me out for inspiration. That’s why your name is “ummmm” cause you got a mouth full of this cake
Lol
You please don’t flatter yourself chile I’m not one who is desperately seeking to be relevant on a cheap as blog your life must be that empty for you to go around seeking acceptance go die you dirty ass phaggot
But how am I seeking relevance because I FEEL like replying to everyone’s comments? I haven’t commented on this sit in at least a week. Im bored, you ugly troll. What’s your excuse for summoning me without permission? Clearly I have you bothered enough to go and search for memes on Google. Go find some business that doesn’t involve sitting in mine.
I thought the most iconic fall of all time was when Lucifer fell from heaven….. but nope Flopga’s fall from relevance shook galxies and millenias and the 2nd coming too
.
I cannot! !!!!!!!
You speak nothing but the truth Sis.
Awwww TGJ’s GREATEST EVER YOURS TRULY NOW HAS A STAN….wow

Bye @ you making a Stan account for yourself. Smh. There’s no cure for Multiple Personality Disorder but I’ll pray for you.
I am the Great Career Ender
.
Tgere is so much power in my name
.
WHy would I create a fake account to prop wwhat’s already Legendary?
.
Everyone and their momma know the eff I is 🙂
Damn y’all some haters! ha! Are you mad because your fave wasn’t considered? The whole “has-been” thing is solo 2013 like we are almost in 2016. Gaga has been making Career changing strides in the past 2 years. She will slay next Era. Mark my words. Y’all need to be worried about Rihanna. Unless your fave is Taylor Beyonce, hell even Katy, you can’t talk ANY S***!
That’s what yall said about artpoop and flop to flop
Yea. We thought a Jazz album was gonna slay the charts. Girl bye.
ARTPOP was her only flop. Get over it. Like that is in 2013. Y’all b******
stay trying to keep a b**** down. American Horror Story at the end of this year and new music 2016
just get ready honey. 🙂
Girl, American Horror Story is everyythinnnnnggg
YAS
I’m in a petty sort of mood, today ???? and I sense messiness in the air.
Lol, Katy even Taylor are way better song writers.
I laughed so hard when Ms Beykim dragged Marikos on Madonna’s post and even called him the ” Beast 666″
Link please. I don’t recall. Did i even comment on that post?
1. It does not even have a gravatar
.
Dismissed
.
You failed to reach the minimum requirements to send for me 🙂
.
.
.
At me you flop ass betch
Meh
.
The only thing flopping is your has-been fav’s career
.
Where is juggernaut’s #1 single since she claimed to only know to be #1?
.
You aint shiat , you is the lowest ranking member of the Navy in the history of TGJ you sad pathetic irrelevant non-factor projects dwelling low class american dirty ass fàggot
I drag gaga but her ARTPOP performed better than r8 at this rate
.
Applause and DWUW and Dope outcharted all flop8 singles
.
Get it in your 5 star juggernaut heads
.
Rihganja is below gaga
Where is Lana Fad Rey’s icon award? I think we should start a search party to find her missing award.
aww I heard you upgraded into a “wood and coal” salesperson now
.
congrats on the promotion
Lana has won an Ivor Novello Award (most prestigious songwriting award in the UK) for her work. An award people actually care about and know of. Not this low budget looking mess.
The search party is already out trying to find where Flopga’s career went
Like a f****** clown, she’s almost 30, she needs to stop with these ridiculous oufits.
Yes to that and while at that statement id like to add a few words
.
Tell Fossil-donna to stop showing us her wrinkled overused pûssy lips
Weren’t you just wishing NiqqaBlonde a happy birthday the other day, and now you’re dragging Flopdonna ????
Did u just creat a flop account to question yours truly?
.
There is no bad blood between me and Onyx
.
And thanks for checking me, you’re welcome 🙂
Coming from a Madonna fan. Shame on a 29 year old, but praise a wrinkly old dinosaur for wearing those embarrassing ensembles. I get it, Jurassic World was a MAJOR hit but she was completey N*** in that movie! Gross
And another thing. She is wearing a Pin Stripe Pant Suit. How is that dressing like a clown. B**** that’s a normal outfit, anyone could wear that. Your just pressed because your fave ruined her legacy with this messy ass era.
Paul is a racist, we don’t pay him any mind.
Cake Like Lady GaGa says:
Where is Lana Fad Rey’s icon award? I think we should start a search party to find her missing award.
Yes, please continue with your obsession over the world’s most bestselling alternative artist as she just finished her completely sold-out national arena/amphitheater tour (10-20K capacity minimum) with no hits and a supposedly “flop” album while Fad is apparently “slaying” when he has to cling to a 90-year old jazz singer for credibility in 2015.
GIRLLLLLL! I was waiting for you come here and drag! The girls STAY pressed for your attention!
They stan for me more than they claim to “stan” Fàga themselves.
The fact that the ONLY Fad Stan in here actually trying and MENTIONING its “fave” is ScheisseThroned or w/e his name is.
At least we have fans though ????????. We’re doing something right.
Ummhh.. Congrats?
When will your fav win one?

@LoveBScott when will you win the award for “deepest hall to get a hot dog thrown in”
@RihNavy
How do you know my name?
The KKK directory? IDK….. *files nail*
LMAOOOO!
YAAAAASSSSSS!!! LMFAOOOOO! And Paul I read articles and comments on this website for years before I started commenting. I be knowing ????
????????????????????????????????
Stfu you racist closeted f_g.

But when will Gaga?

@ LB, save it, i’m talking talent wise.
I was going to post lyrics to Flopga’s “iconic” music but it appears Career Ender beat me to it. I can’t decide who’s comeback PR train is working harder, hers or Justin Bieber’s. He’s trying so hard to be likeable while Flopga is trying so hard to show people she’s an artist and not a faded gimmick. Both will fail.
Hahahahaha the shade is thick.
“Plastic bag drifting thru the wind” Basic perry is the shittest song writer out there. Mad because Gaga can actually sing,write,dance and play an instrument?
Well congrats Gags, in the meantime, Beyonce sued for $7 million by former backup singer who claims she stole her hit song XO from him

Some of y’all are more worried about me than worrying about flossing and brushing your teeth before you log-on to your windows 98 computers and log-out of Oregon Trail so that can use all your 256 kb dial-up internet to hop on TGJ and try to drag me. Worry LESS about my “ass-kissing” and worry MORE about making it to the office before 5PM Central Standard time to pick-up food stamps for your children.
Read boo
Mama is bored and has nothing but free time today! How’s the baby doing love?
Because I know you’re ready for it to be out. My girlfriend couldn’t wait to have hers!
I can’t talk about that here. You HAVE O get Twitter so I can give you my number and etc.!!!! You & Lake Erie both need to get Twitter so I can have my babies on speed dial.
****You HAVE TO get Twitter****
I’m gonna create one soon and then add you boo, but I’ll have to get a personal one and one for TGJ because I don’t need this trolls finding me.
Chile these are trolls, not detectives. Most of these b****** can’t even find the number to the food stamp office, which is why they are the soup kitchen line as we speak lol. I’m still waiting for them to find the real me. The hilarious thing is that my personal (joint account with my future) Twitter is linked to my EL1 Twitter account, yet these f*** think they really exposed me. ???????????????? I understand though. Just add & DM me the day you make it.
LMFAOOOOOO YASSSSSSSSS BIITCH ????????????????
Yaaaaaz slay Gaga! You deserve it Queen. Gaga is a true artist and you guys will respect it in about 7 years she has already surpassed Beyonce and Rihanna.
I love how Gaga gets katycunts, bitchHIV, and Lana Fad rey stans so pissed. Your favs aren’t even as respected musically as Godga. The fact Gaga can do Jazz music and still stay relevant and sale must really make you peasants salty.
Where is Fad still relevant? gAyTRL? Because that’s literally the only place I’ve seen him mentioned other than its Oscars tribute that was forgotten in three days (like his career).
I can’t at this little bird trying it…
MCIIY: 1 million
No Bird Crumbs Alloy & In A Bird Cage = << 850k shipments
_____
The self drag if it coming for Nicki, Gaga, Mariah, Madonna, Beyoncè, and etc when his fav can't even sell 1 Million with two albums combined.
Congrats To Miss Gaga! Love her & that voice.
Hey boo!
Hello 🙂
Where is Beyonce’s award? I thought she’s been “writing” since the 90s?
|
LOL. Yeah, the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame aren’t fooled by her antics. And lets not forget her 7549742605257535 lawsuits throughout her career.
Beyonce has an ASCAP award for writing. Try again.
Keywords: “Songwriter’s Hall of Fame”

Is reading a problem for you hives? SMH
Hi Career Ender
I am not Centurion
.
if anything Centurion is a low budget mixture of Career Ender and LB
.
good the fvxck bye
Cute. Still a fad though.
Totally deserved.
Not only a very talented pop artist totally involved in her craft and that can actually perform live (almost the only one among her peers 🙂 ), but also… look at this voice:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSgQqSmZz6k
Beetlejuice anyone?….
Good for lady gaga
Congrats Gagz
