Lady Gaga may be a few years short of a decade in the music business, but her impact is undeniable.
It’s a stance the 2015 Songwriter’s Hall of Fame clearly take on, for they have announced the 29-year old as the recipient of one of their coveted Icon awards.
Details below…
Mother Monster will be honored with the the inaugural Contemporary Icon Award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 19th.
The presentation is bestowed up a performing songwriter “who has attained an iconic status in pop culture,” according to a statement from organizers today.
Gaga has had a hand writing most of her hits, including ‘Poker Face,”Just Dance,’ and 2013’s ‘Applause.’
***************
Granted some may gasp, we feel Gaga is entirely deserving. What’s more, unlike some laughable “Icon” awards that have been handed out in recent years, this particular honor seems geared at a “contemporary” talent – which is exactly what Gaga is.
From our vantage point, her “best” is likely embedded projects ahead. That said, it’s important authentic, genuine talent such as her are celebrated while they’re “here.”
On a somewhat random note, this also serves as a great look ahead of the release of her hotly anticipated new studio album.

Yes!!! I cant wait for the next album. I hope she release it summer/spring of next year.
and the only thing Rihanna has ever written is a huge check to be bleached in an oxygen chamber
Congratulations, but damn when are they gonna Give Mariah a award for her songwriting smh – Vision Of Love, Emotions, One Sweet Day, Someday, All I want for Christmas, ect. S*** her whole catalog is flawlessly amazing.
Melting, Long Ago, The Wind, THE Languishing.
They already have love 🙂
They have given Mariah an award for her songwriting! She won the BMI Songwriting ICON award! Where have you been?! lol
Back in 2012!
They’re just handing out awards left and right to anyone now. At least it isn’t that talentless creature from Barbados though.
LOL AND WHICH CREATURE WOULD THAT BE? THE DOG THAT GAVE BIRTH TO YOU? LOL
No the creature that your bulldog lookin dad impregnated.
Congratz Gaga
I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh–oh-oh!)
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
lol
Very well deserved, I don’t think Gaga gets enough credit for her songwriting.
her writing is f****** crap
Mariah Carey needs to be inducted.
LOL YAASS MOTHA MONSTER!
WHEN WILL HOOKERYONCE? OH THAT’S RIGHT, THIS IS A SONGWRITER AWARD LOL
Beyonce already has one. ASCAP for songwriting in 2001. The first black woman. Do your research before you comment ignorance. Knowing your ignorant a***, you’ll reply with “she bought it”. Save the struggle.
With DC…..
She really is an amazing talent but she just ventured way too far and way too fast away from the musical style that got people hooked and the shock tactics got old. I wish her the best with the new music because Katy is just so generic and tasteless without the talent level to give her a pass on it. I haven’t listened to either album entirely but everything I have heard from artpop is 1000 times better than everything from the dollar McMusic menu called prism. This is how we do is an abomination and is perfect example of why everyone hates white people from the suburbs.
UMM YEA…Cuz lyrics such as, “Bluffin with my muffin”, Need to be a acknowledged as lyrical genius song writing…GIRL BYE!
Ikr! Mariah must had other plans on this day. Ch..
Ridiculous argument. She has other great lyrics too. Not to mention the art of songwriting isn´t just in the lyrics themselves. Now accept her huge talent and be quite.
don’t be pressed over Solange not getting her due props. GaGa deserves this.
And Yes Mimi deserves to be inducted, phenomenal catalogue!!
The Roof and Breakdown are beautifully written songs. And severely underrated
The Roof is one of my favorite songs EVER! Outside, Fly Like a Bird, Subtle Invitation, I Don’t Want To Cry, Angels Cry, Cry., Camouflage, Never Forget You, All I’ve Ever Wanted, After Tonight, Till The End of Time, And You Don’t Remember, and etc. lyrically and the melodious of those songs >>>>>>> >>>>>>>>
Every one of those songs= life
Gaga is extremely talented, so i applaud her, however, i truly believe that ppl are loosely using and abusing the word icon. MJ, Tina Turner, Cher, and etc are true icons. At this time, ppl are labeling everyone an icon almost as much as TGJ is labeling everyone a chanteuse. :/
DEATH @ this bit of truth!
“contemporary”. reading is fundamental.
Read this:Exit my reply box.
yasss!!! gaga even if I’m not a huge fan of hers ….I always make sure I buy her singles and apart from my fav ….. she’s the only artist that has Neva disappointed me lyrically….. so I’m truly happy…..
Rihanna deserves the icon award for her amazing songwriting skill especially for diamond, what’s my name, rude boy and for “Loud”…. pero
Tell me you’re being sarcastic.
” yasss!!! ”
um, ok
Dear Lambs stop complaining, the fact that Lady Gaga got in before Mariah and many others says alot about this half of fame, soon it will be Beyoncé or is she already inducted? 😀
SO now 3 Lambs and a Barb saying Mariah needs to be inducted = complaining? The Lambs aren’t the ones shading and mad at Gaga; that belongs to the reductive fanbase. 🙂
Don’t be dramatic, i’m actually on your side, btw, who’s that reductive fanbase?, it’s anyone mad at Gaga these days?, are any little cutters left in the world?
STFU
Hi Stephy, it’s been awhile, when was the last time we fight in here, some things never change eh?
You know I’ll still back that ass up on you… But, you need to keep it cute. Bye Boo!
Lol, i miss the good ol days at TGJ with Pop Royalty, Jared, Likica, Lovebird etc…
@s******
Pop Royalty left without saying goodbye lol
He was nice and some of his last thoughts were how great the last Gaga single “Do What U Want” was and how superior she and her music was compared to what Katy Perry was releasing at the same time.
After that, he disappeared.
Pop was the s***, loved him.
I miss the old days too @Onyx. Pop Royalty was the most bipolar commentator EVER!
He switched faves everyday. Hilarious.
I wonder if he is ok? I hope his family didn’t disown him for being gay..
Also wasn’t Jared caught ‘Catfishing’ with a model’s pictures? Lol.
Jared was a victim of some commentators jealousy.
LOL at your comment about Pop Royalty. I hope he´s ok indeed and finaly accepted himself.
@Onyx
In regards to Jared. I remember you saying the same back then. There was so much going on with people saying otherwise. But, I hear you.
@John
It was really sad. @Pop would be coming onto boys on here and then say the most vile things about gay people. So crazily conflicted..
Hopefully nothing bad happened to him. He lives in Egypt. A very beautiful but volatile state.
why has anyone on here got a kurt avatar ? lol
Yes GAGA!!!!
pop pop pop pop pokerface
ma ma ma ma ma ma
aura ra ra au ra ra ra
fookin’ brilliant songwriter !
Lol, it’s as if she was never a thing. I think Katy Perry should had gotten this, she a much better writer.
not when the only thing Rihanna has written is a huge check to have her A$$ bleached in an oxygen chamber
well if they was giving out awards for writers who can’t stay on tune on their own f****** songs, then yes, Katy should have this. but since this is about actual talent, you can keep seething as GaGa gets what’s hers by right. xoxo
it’s laughable Lady Gaga would get an award for her lyrics
Abomination!
@Onyx
.
I miss the old tgj too
.
This current one is full of trolls ‘centurion’ spamming all comments section talking about the same thing
.
Nobody challenges me anymore they argue about the same thing everyday -> 7/11
.
How boring
You’re so right.
@s******
What´s your favorite song on Madonna´s album?
Mine is probably “Veni Vidi Vici”. I LOVE it!
Devil Pray, which is one of the best songs she has recorded, let me tell you something, the best songs were left out of the album or the ones that she put in it were changed too much to the point that they don’t sound the same, the demo of Living for Love, Borrowed Time, Rebel Heart and Joan of Arc were 1000 times better, she ruined those songs, i understand why she did it though, the leaks ruined everything, still a solid pop record, others favorite songs of this era are not included on the album, Freedom, Revolution, Alone With You, Nothing Last Forever, Tragic Girl, Queen and Two Steps Behind Me, i enjoy more the demos, let’s say that i made my own album, lol.
Congrats she deserved it
Unlike some artists who add two words to a song and call themselves songwriters and constantly getting sued for stealing
po po po po po po po po po ker face
f*****’ fascinating
I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh–oh-oh!)
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Congrats. She´s so talented. A little bit too soon though.
Sam a certain fan base’ fav’s single debuted at #92 and they were dragging I bet. Can u please create a post?
.
I wanto drag
“Smother ’em, if you wanna be bad
Slap honey on a young pancake
We know how to make that money
Jewels n’ drugs, play that hustle
Smother ’em, if you wanna be bad”
…nah. And this isn’t even the worst lyric on its album.
Agreed…
*files nails*
don’t you stan for “my p**** tastes like Pepsi Cola” tho? I’m glad you’re still pressed about Gaga’s songwriting, keep reading her lyrics and maybe you’ll develop some taste. xoxo
And she doesn’t even fit the culture
I knew that the KKK Clan (my fav Kan’t sing Kan’t perform and Kan’t write) would be perched on this post… “you’re so ugly when you cry, PLEASE! just cut it out” and deal with the fact Llama, Katy and all the other white chicks in the game right now got nothing on GaGa.
Lady Gaga can’t write either, neither can she perform to anyone who hasn’t got a soccermom taste
Congrats to lady gaga
everyone should get an award then
