‘It’s not so hard to be a superstar‘.
Though her chart hiatus has made it a little easy to forget, Lady GaGa‘s arrival has been to Pop what Gary Catona could be for Rihanna’s voice. Game changing.
However, what’s most startling about her meteoric rise to the top is the humility that millions around the world remain enthralled by. Not sure what we mean?
Watch the singer open up her dreams and the power of prayer during a recent ‘Born This Way Ball‘ gig in St.Petersburg, inviting fans on stage as she reminisced on her days as an NYC club act, and thanking them for their undying support.
Inspirational footage below…
I’m not a fan of her music or style but I do like her as a person
Happy new year sis.

A cheap move from a cheap stan.
You spelled “LYING” wrong. Illiterate, basic, b****.
A Christina fan actually judging someone on their vocal performance? Oh the irony…
She is the pure definition of an artist. I’ll never forget the first time I saw her live (before bad romance hit #1) she inspired me beyond everything. I’ve seen Rihanna, Ciara, T.I., LiL wayne, The Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera, Danity Kane, Ludacris, Florence and the machine. and a ton of other hip hop+Alternative artist and though most of the ones I named put on GREAT shows – nobody inspires and PERFORMS quite like Gaga. Im proud to be a fan of hers!
Nicki Minaj is also quite inspiring, if I may add.
LMAO!
Inspirational footage below…
Do you mean treat your fans like mentally retarded, she offer free counseling to her fans for their personal problems on her tour, i mean, do Little Monsters are that stupid, i’m okay with the whole message of love yourself but not when it comes as a joke, she mocks her own fans who adore her as a Goddess, she really make them look like a f****** delayed.

@S******, LMFAO!!!!!!! Love The Gif, But B**** I’m Not Here For Your BS, “Amour Et Bisou”!!
You’re an idiot….the whole point of the free counseling went right over your empty ass head.
Pressed Madonna stan! GET OVER IT!
oh please.. Lady Gaga may be talented but she doesn’t have the longevity that Britney, Pink, Beyonce etc have. Can you see her doing this crazy stuff in 10 years time? People are already getting tired of her, she needs to stop pretending shes societies outcast and focus on just making good music!
Stay pressed w****.
She already does good music. Critics + GRAMMYs committee agree with me.
says two lady gaga fans…
Actually I agree with them and I’m not even a gaga fan.
By the way, so many people in her concert, is full.

thats because shesaid goodbye during scheibe so people left after that song
FAIL!
I LOVE LADY GAGA SHE IS A SWEET PERSON IN SHE VERY TALENTED SHE CAN ACTUALLY SING AN PLAY A INSTRUMENT IN PUT ON A SHOW I LIKE HOW SHE STAY TRUE TO HER FANS NO MATTER WHATS GOING ON IN HER LIFE AS IN ARTIST SHE TREAT HER FANS LIKE SHE IS ONE OF THEM THATS WHAT I ALWAYS ADMIRE ABOUT HER
“Lady GaGa‘s arrival has been to Pop what Gary Catona could be for Rihanna’s voice. Game changing.”
^Death, but the only god Lady Caca is praying to is satan
F*** her -_-
Lady Gaga and Adele are the biggest stars of the last 5 years and you´ll have to deal darlings!!! And at least both are really talented, so I´m more than fine with it
I´ve not been paying attention to gaga´s tour so i´m just realizing the last song of her set is Marry the Night. I´m sure some pressed queen Madonna fans knew it better than me 🙂
Btw: is Sam pressed cos of Mariah´s divine vocals in her concerts in Australia? Why is he not posting them? Today was the last one in Melbourne in front of many many thousands of people and she f****** slayed them live vocals: Fly like a Bird, the end of I´ll be There and everything really. Can´t wait for all these talented artists new albums
What would i be pressed?

Just respect talent man. I suppose you´re not the one running from computer to computer to thumb down every comment about Gaga like it always happens in her posts right? 🙂
LOOL!! @ MC
JOHNVIDAL
What i would be pressed about Lady Gaga when no even in her best moment can’t she beat Madonna, last time i checked her tour is beyond beneath the Queen.
Well she’s only behind Madonna in females and #4/5 on overall this year and its only her 4th year in the business. Don’t go overboard man, it took Madge how many years to achieve this feat? Its not THAT beneath the Queen as you say, b****.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbjr37Z9sk1qezxsoo1_500.gif
Again? I said I agree you shouldn´t… but it shows you are. Sorry. Nobody mentioned Madonna or her tour on this post until you needed to hate on Gaga once more. Just that
I know! She did so well! The “fly like a bird” performance was everything, as was the “Emotions” one.
Did you see that one person from THAT OTHER BLOG say Mariah Carey is to Whitney Houston as Kobe is to Michael Jordan? And then he said “Mariah is a great vocalist, but she shouldn’t be compared to one of the best vocalist of all time.” !?!?!
http://roccosrevolution.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fainting_girl.gif
Yes I did LOL I just had to spread love for all true greats on that post. Although that OTHER blogger was the one starting s***
I agree, I felt targeted and cornered because I love all three and I don’t hate anything more in this world then having them pitted against each other, which unfortunately is always the case. I don’t understand how you can love one or two and hate the rest? They make the “vocalist movement of the 90s” and together they did everything, I feel. Apparently the reason why HE went ham on Whitney fans (us) is because of this one commentator whose name is “Theman4U” and he’s a Whitney stan who always insists that Mariah is lipping even though that was not the case. I do agree that the blogger went a little too overboard.
It´s the blogger´s fault honestly. He should be above that if he wants to have a respectable music site. He can address fools like that one on twitter or something. I think not even Sam would make a post like that (in his case it would be the opposite, he would be on Whitney´s side)
I agree with that, it was completely unprofessional, but I know deep down that he loves Nippy. He shouldn’t have let people drive him to that place because haters are there to hate. Its his job and the only thing he succeeded in doing is disrespecting Whitney and people like you and me who genuinely enjoy her without hiding behind her talent to diss others.
Did you see the great article he recently wrote about Whitney and the performances he posted? Its an amazing post.
Yes yes that post was amazing! I know he knows the truth. And he definitely gives more info than TGJ, I appreciate him, when he was here he was obviously my fave, not Sam. But this last post about Mariah in Australia was… a pathetic mess
I can agree with that, pathetic is the right word to describe that mess of an article.
Omgggggg I’m about to cry lady gaga I f****** love you @slayriah Carey one thing and one thing onley TRIUMPHANT.
Watch the haters swarm this post. There’s nothing wrong with thanking the fans. Ppl r too silly.
It’s onley the Mariah fans mad because she a old flop B**** no one gives a f*** about Her it’s Beyonce Gaga you gat Katy You have Nicki Rihanna Adele that’s f****** it and that’s all Mairah is old f****** news B******.
Is Mariah on your mind this much? I mean no Mariah stan said anything bad about Gaga. Can you go on a day without saying Mariah’s name? 🙄 Like, your obsession is just so awkward considering I’m suppose to be the stan……you put me to shame really.

B**** what? I didn´t see any Mariah fan attacking Gaga. more like a couple of Rihanna and Madonna ones
@CREAM, B**** STFU, You Fake Ass Gaga’s Stan, The Lady G’s Haters Are The Navy And Some Madge’s Stans! Lambs(beside SLAYRIAH) Are Fair And Class!
@PRINCE MACHIAVEL
H** hush! Cream hates Rihanna and stans for Beyonce.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJTE02P1kwk
KIII KII. Mariah’s the queen right? Think again s****.
Well lets see, according to your fave who worships, studies, imitates, and tires to emulate Mariah, she is. In the end, Mariah doesn’t screech, scream, gargle, and choke while singing unlike a certain professional yodeler that we all know.
Lotus rise up, its only the beginning :gtfo:
@Cream. Excuse me? We weren’t even the ones attacking anybody but I see you’re trying to start s*** as usual, nice try.
hmmmm
@CREAM
B**** you’re still here. I thought your minutes at the library would be up by now. Stop stressing over ‘Triumphant’. You should be more worried about Beyonce’s upcoming flop. Mariah already sold over 200 million albums and will go down as one of the greatest vocalist of all time.
Beyonce who?? Greatest booty shaker of all time. GURL BYE.
*200 million records, only 145 million albums sold world wide.
And yes, he’s way too obsessed and its really awkward because you didn’t say anything bad about Gaga, JohnVidal said something positive about Gaga and I didn’t say anything about Gaga so Idk where he got the “Mariah stans are pressed” thing from on this post. 🙄
I’m so tired of him/her. There’s not a single comment posted by that character that doesn’t involve mariah and ‘triumphant’
I simply said that I don’t like her music/style. It’s not like I said she’s untalented.
The ignorant people on this blog<<<<<
I know, its to the point of awkwardness because its out of nowhere and random. You don’t have an obligation to like Gaga as he/she doesn’t have the obligation to like Mariah. It’s becoming obsessive and out of topic. He talks about Mariah more than he does his fave. The people on this site are the absolute worst and this past couple of weeks just reminds me why I used to hate the Hive of flies so much. 🙄
@MC Don’t you also think this ‘Triumphant’ bashing is getting out of hand. Mariah released that single for her fans to listen to since her album isn’t coming out until March.
The fact that she only performed ‘Triumphant’ once shows that she doesn’t really care.
@SLAYRIAH CAREY
They make a big deal out of everything, and it isn’t just people on site, its the music industry as a whole. The way some people complain about it flopping makes it look like she had a big promo for it, heavily promoted it, or like she is flopping in her prime or even like her peers are smashing and she isn’t. I mean did people expect the song to go to #1? Like really? What’s their problem? Its not like she said this song was “the best song of the year” or hyped it up. At the end of the day, she remains unbothered and legendary. Its not like it matters, I mean has their faves even sold 200 million records world wide let alone 145 million ALBUMS? They should remain quite because their faves are too busy naming Mariah as an influence or one of their faves. Mariah will be fine whether she sells 1 million copies or 20.
@ Slayriah Agreed.
Omg Satan looks so young in this pic.
I’m go say this one more time ok You have Beyonce Gaga Katy Rihanna Adele and Nicki no old fat nasty old news b**** name Mariah can stop them or no one no one cares about Mariah Carey.
Namely you can when you post 20 comments about Mariah per post. Its okay lamb, don’t resist it. 😆
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvrpieYI6m1r0bn2lo1_400.gif
Your ass is so desperate to prove to everyone that mariah is done and that “no one cares about her.” If no one cared about her, her concerts in Australia wouldn’t have sold out in 4 minutes while nicki still had tickets on sale. Even Gaga had to reduce the price of her tickets just the other day. If “no one cared about her” ‘all I want for christmas’ wouldn’t re- enter the charts each year and slay all of these basic h*** you call relevant.
Mariah has one thing that Kesha, beyonce, Katy, nicki and the rest of those girls DON’T HAVE and that’s called LONGEVITY.
@CREAM, H** Ciao Ciao, Sit Your Delusional Ass Near To @KELLY(The Homophobic Racist Hating Ass Pscho) @LAX, (The NoLife C***) And To @BEYONCE’S WEAVE(The Obsessed Hypocrtit B****)!!
@PRINCE MACHIAVEL
Vaffanculo stronzo haha! Vai a farti fottere!
@Cream, If she’s old news than why does your stupid ass always bring her up?
i thought she was kinda crazy but now she just seems a bit sane
Omgggg Beyonce Pepsi s*** is happening now!!! That grape juice get on it
I Love This Girl, God Bless You All!!!!
You a gimmick then! Kelly Clarkson >> Lady Gargamel
How is she a gimmick? It’s not like Lady gaga isn’t talented. And Kelly Clarkson lol? Really lol? Quit being b*** hurt.
@Touché
I said that she can sing but she is more popular because of her crazy outfits and generic songs than because of her talent. Don’t come for Kelly because she can outsing your fav anytime honey. Kelly doesn’t need to expose her p**** to get attention. That’s why she won American Idol, the girl is an amazing singer, GaGa is an average one.
Sweetie let’s get one thing strait. I am not a gaga fan, so insulting her on superficial crap such as her image, popularity, money (etc.) doesn’t bother me. However, I generally support or defend anyone who is talented and gets attacked for said talent. Now congrats to Kelly for winning some karaoke show but you seem to forget that those shows do NOT just focus on the voice. They also focus on image which is what she also had in addition to a good voice so don’t even. Now you think Kelly can out sing Lady Gaga? Apparently you haven’t paid attention to Kelly in the beginning years of her music career because if you did you would have heard her strain and raise her larynx at times so no she cannot out sing Lady gaga anymore than Lady gaga can out sing her. “the girl is an amazing singer, GaGa is an average one”? Well that’s just your opinion. Personally, I think Gaga is better but whatever.
B****, don’t come for Kelly because she is compared to legends because of her voice. When will GaGa do tributes with divas?
Apparently you haven’t paid attention to Kelly in the beginning years of her music career because if you did you would have heard her strain and raise her larynx at times so no she cannot out sing Lady gaga anymore than Lady gaga can out sing her.
Lol I couldn’t stop laughing at this phrase. No one knoEW THAT Lady GaGa could sing when she appeared because she sang dance songs. Anyway sweety, find me a bad performance by Kelly. She’s never sounded like this and probably she will never 😉

I have to laugh when I see the Lambs dragging the other pop girls when Mariah is one of the floppiest of them all.
Whitney was selling millions to the day she died with NEW albums but Mariah still hasn’t sold any more than 1 million with her new albums.
Kiiii.
You Titanic gworls are getting unruly.
How uninformed you are dear. Mariah has sold more albums and records that Whitney. By the way, her “Just Whitney” is certified Gold like MOAIA and MCIIY. Whitney’s “comeback album” shipped 1 million in the U.S. and 2.5 million in the world.
“I have to laugh when I see the Lambs dragging the other pop girls when Mariah is one of the floppiest of them all.” Actually she’s the second most successful pop girl and female musician of all time only after Madonna. Your fave? Not so much.
*than
but whitney sings better than mariah tho!! mc was pushed as a white woman until she said she was bi racial!! whitney has sold 180 million albums in the world!! whitney houston won an emmy for her grammy performance and i will always love you shits on any mc single
Rihanna fan = no room to talk about talented artists, no Whitney, no Mariah, you don´t understand. Just that
Hmmm … I’ve always read that Whitney’s last album (ILTY) was certified platinum + (actual sales).
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
Wow. You Rihanna and Christina fans are just hypocritical. I mean a Rihanna fan talking about flop albums? Oh the irony…
How did this become about Mariah. She is so overrated. Yeah she could sing but how many years did she spend slaying. Celine, Barbara, Tina and Cher could sell out arenas and stadiums to THIS day. Could Mariah? No she can’t.
Thankyou honey. I knew you Brit stans would come in handy one day.
F*** off please.
BionicLotus
That is all, flop of the century to the biggest flop of all time. That is the only thing your fave seems capable of. BTW, its obvious that you’re the same person.
“Celine, Barbara, Tina and Cher could sell out arenas and stadiums to THIS day. Could Mariah? No she can’t.”
She just sold out Allphones Arena (22,000) under 4 minuets as well as Melbourne Stadium (35,000 – 44,000). So the answer is yes, because she sold them out in after 14 years hiatus from Australia.
Lets not talk about how overrated your fave is.
Mariah just sold out e concerts in Australia in few minutes. The last one in melbourne was in front of almost 40,000 people and the one in Sidney was in front of 20,000 people. She slayed them live vocals thank u
What about Britney then? lol this is so funny, what discernible talent does she have?
Please , ive got no problem with Mimi but her time is done and her stans need to accept it before the new album flops. You’re talking about Britney but SS just hit number one everywhere, Triumphant didn’t even make the hot 100. Even piguilera wouldn’t flop so hard.
But untalented artists like Rihanna can sell out Stadium De France with 80 000 tickets. :S How come? Isn’t Mariah supposed to be bigger than her?
@Likica
Yes, Mariah is better than her. Mariah hasn’t been to Australian since 1998 (14 years ago) and she sold out a revenue and an arena (22,000) under 4 MINS. She also sold out Melbourne Stadium 35,000-44,000. Rihanna is in her prime so she should be selling that for someone you claim to be “a global superstar”. I mean what does talent have to do with tour? Even Justin Bieber and 1D sell out. 🙄
Plus in her prime, Mariah sold out Tokyo Dome 150,000 tickets under 3 hours beating the Rolling Stones’ record right? She still holds that record. So yes, in her prime she sold more tickets (and not in 15+ days but 3 hours) and still hold the record. Wait until Rihanna lasts 22+ years and is able to sell out under 4 mins after 14 year hiatus. 🙄
I love Gaga, you all should known that by now, here’s my favorite song of her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYGd2wrCU34
You don’t love Gaga, you’re just obsessed with her.
Love sometimes turns into hate, which is your relationship with Gaga.
I just love her.
Not at all, you’re obsessed.

I mean BionicLotus or rather flopandbiggerflop, I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t even have to fish out badly put together Xtina songs (edited as well) to show her bad side, just take a glance at her most recent performance, or the one before that or the ones before that for the past 2-3 years.
@ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ
Hurt >> everything Mariah’s done so far and she will ever do 😉 Deal.
Not even, but nothing is expected of you as you don’t even understand what great voice is from great technique. You can think whatever you want but in reality you remain one of the three people who thinks that. It isn’t even Xtina’s best song 😆
@ BionicLotus, B****, don’t make me bring up the hundreds of flat, straining, and struggling performances by your fave Staintina.
Are people this FASCINATED with Mariah lately? Like I know its the same few people because they say the dumbest s***. The repetitiveness is getting so boring around here. 🙄
Anyways, I happy for Gaga, I hope ARTPOP is great.
Ignore them, we represent artists who take their craft seriously, they stan for girls who wouldn’t know vibrato from fellatio.
How many number one singles does Celine have though?
@QueenCeline, I agree
@QueenOfTheNavy
What does this have to do with talent? How many albums has Rihanna sold? Nowhere near that of Celine and she’s slaying with her most recent album (541k in FRANCE alone in 1 month — more than Unapologetic). Lets also not mention how well her tours are doing.
Are people this FASCINATED with Mariah lately?
I can tell you from my part that i’m in a Mariah mood since january 1.
That’s great, I just mean the pressed people like @CREAM @BionicLotus @QueenoftheNavy etc who bring Mariah up in randomly to bash her.
What have you been listening to? I’ve been spinning “My all”, “Vanishing” (1990 SNL behind the scenes practice one), “If its over” (SNL 1991), “Never too far away” (from the Glitter movie footage).
I also watched Glitter the movie yesterday.
Her best concert in Asia, she was marvelous in that one, i been listening to Music Box and Butterfly.
*I’m
I’m sorry, I just never really know if Gaga’s sincere or not. Even when she has moments like this it still seem like she’s just finding a way to toot her own horn. It’s all appears to be a bit contrived to me.
I will end things on a positive note and give her credit for all her success though. In her few years as a recording artist, she’s influence the last change in music that’s going on right now.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
Well , I gained a New Respect for her , she WON me BACK.
Like seriously tho , she treat her fans the way they should be treated , we can all have our own opinion about her own artistry and ORIGINALITY , but just look right there , behind all those bizarre outfits and s*** , there’s a GIVING and Wonderful human being !!
U go GAGA , i will never hate on her anymore , she’s awesome.
EYE AM ROLLING AT @JOHNVIDAL COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORKS TO DRAG!
That b**** said that Kelly Clarkson is not an artist so everything is clear. According to him Bad Romance is a good song but Kelly’s music is radio friendly and boring? Wtf? Rarara urarara gagaga tralalala is a good song and Because of You/Behind These Hazel Eyes are radio friendly songs? Kelly has the best ballads and her voice is so powerful, I adore her, she’s a real artist and she can OUTSING Lana Del Ray anyday, and he stans for that b**** as well. I can’t at that delusional h** who thinks there’s no one better than Whitney/Mariah/Celine who’ve been singing the same s*** for years. Celine sings just ballads, her music is so predictable and good if you want to fall asleep. He calls Rihanna’s music generic./ Oh please, aren’t I wanna dance with somebody by Whitney Houston/It’s like that from Mariah generic songs as well? Even more generic than every Rihanna’s single. Their music is not that great like they think, that’s for sure.
I love Gaga 4ever and she will always be my MOTHER MONSTER! Her music was there for me when I was feeling really low (TheFame/FameMonster) and the she just cape being there for me and millions of the LittleMonsters ( BornThisWay Song/ and Album) PawsWayUp for her and my MonsterFamily ( LittleMonsters.com)! #LOVE
whether you like her or not, she is the only pop culture phenomenon weve had since britney.
I respect her because she isnt just a gimmick – shes a real artist who writers her own material and is a classically trained pianist. i only wish she would show it off more.
She can sing but her music is more generic than Beyonce’s/Rihanna’s and it’s so predictable. She gained her popularity thanks to gimmicks, people are checking for her because they want to see her wearing meat dresses and hair hats. Anyway, Beyonce/Kelly Clarkson >>> Lady GaGa.
B****, GET A LIFE!
Kelly Clarkson… K! lol
@miao
H** hush! Kelly can outsing your fav anytime. She doesn’t need to wear rotten meat to attract attention, her voice does it. You tried though.
I love the way she cares for her fans. She needs to hurry with ARTPOP though, it’s been almost 2 years she’s been gone.
I forgot I was on a Gaga post reading these comments.
Gaga looks over in that pic love it !
GAGA SLAYS!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for that little shout out! And you’re right, Rih’s voice could be built very effectively with proper training. I like your article, and I think it’s clear that the key to Gaga’s success is that she is talented and humble.
