Whether you love or abhor her music, you cannot deny her iconic presence on the world stage. She has tremendous influence in pop music, culture, and fashion.
I like this interview because it shows how technology – and specifically YouTube — has democratized 'fame' and allowed the masses to rise to wealth and acclaim or notoriety (i.e., Rebecca Black).
It's a very long interview but I actually sat through the whole thing. (The downside to this video is that the interviewer is quite annoying and keeps fawning over Gaga; fake laughing at every single comment Gaga makes.)
I didn't know this prior to the interview, but her new song "The Edge of Glory" is a tribute song to her deceased grandfather and it refers to the moment right before you pass from this temporal world. I think it adds a whole new dimension to the song, which I had honestly heard on the radio and didn't care for much but am now curious to see the music video.
