Billboard Cover: Woman of the Year Lady Gaga's Raw, Revealing Interview

[Tom22]

Great Interview! Glad I ducked in and caught it. (LOL I had been accidentally logged out for a while and it took a bit to remember my password... when I'm logged in I push the "new posts" button which lets me catch other topics like this better)

Really there are too many points that meant something to me

I learned so much about her... and perhaps some things that help me connect to her performances..and interviews (you've heard me wax poetic about subtexts of personality I hear in lyrical interpretation). I never was a pop fan enough to buy her songs or anything but I understood them far better after hearing them Acapella a few times in The Sing Off... and went back to hear her.

Almost everyline of the interview was interesting
a few that widen my perspective of the person.

It took me a long time to get those notes. I told my manager, ‘I need two months working with my vocal coach every day and to be sober, which means I can’t do other work at all.’ (RE Sound of Music at the Oscars.
I was a theater kid. I was in jazz band. I went to the Renaissance Faire. I was that girl who got made fun of, that nerdy girl.
I am an Italian-American girl from New York who won state jazz competitions in high school for my abilities.
Can’t being an artist be enough? Is talent ever the thing? I think for Adele it is. I think for Bruno Mars it is.(interesting mention of Mars and sentence followed others of how she had been sucked into career things she increasingly became uncomfortable with from feeling out of control of her destiny)
