29th October 2011, New Delhi: India got its first ever opportunity to witness LADY GAGA - the global superstar known for her showmanship, individuality and startling creativity. Lady Gaga spoke about her inspiration for her latest album ‘Born This Way’ and expressed her desire to visit India again in the future to perform for her fans here.
Dressed in a beautiful full length gown designed by New York based Indian designer Naeem Khan, the elegant and regal Lady Gaga comfortably shared stories of reincarnation, education, family values and pleasing parents, everything that resonates with Indian people of today and yesterday. Flawless in her presentation Lady Gaga demonstrated a deep respect for India’s people and culture.
Gaga said in her first press conference in the country - “Namaste India! I have always wanted to come to this beautiful country for a very long time and finally it’s been possible. More than the place, the thing that makes this country so beautiful is its people – I want to thank you all for your love and support!”
Lady Gaga was presented a plaque for the success of her albums `The Fame’ and `The Fame Monster’, which have collectively been certified as Double Platinum and her latest album, `Born This Way’, is already certified Gold in India.
Passionate about her Desi Monsters, Lady Gaga met up with hoards of her screaming fans and obliged each one of them with autographs and photographs. Some of her fans were even dressed up like the Lady herself.
Sunil D’Sa, Vice President, UMI said, “With the massive success of Gaga’s albums in India ever since she broke onto the scene in 2008, we at Universal Music India always wanted to bring her down to give her fans a chance to experience the Gaga phenomenon in `person’. Thus, we are ecstatic that she’s made this possible and are indeed privileged to host a `superstar’ as Lady Gaga here in Delhi, India. She is a superstar in the truest sense of the word as she is just not a great musician, but a fashion icon, a fabulous live performer and a philanthropist as well. Her latest album, `Born This Way’, has been one of the fastest selling international albums in India this year and the good news is that her fans can now look forward to the new Gaga releases that are lined for November 2011.”
It must be noted that the Indian version of the album ‘Born This Wa
y’ includes the “Born This Way – Desi Hits! Bollywood Remix” which is remixed by noted film music directors Salim- Sulaiman.
Following the colossal success of her latest album `Born This Way’, Lady Gaga has planned new releases that will hit stores on 23rd November`11 which include Born This Way The Remix, Born This Way - The Collection [Born This Way album + DVD + The Remix] as well as the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award winning HBO special Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden on DVD and Blu-ray that includes exclusive, never before seen footage.
`Born This Way’ is the follow-up to her 15 million selling debut - `The Fame’ and `The Fame Monster’ albums! It broke the iTunes record for the fastest rise to the # 1 on release day. The first single from the album, the title track “Born This Way,” set a music industry record by becoming the fastest single in history to reach sales of 1,000,000 copies (five days after its February 11th release). Only the 19th single to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (issue date February 26, 2011), the recording was Lady Gaga’s third #1 on the chart. On iTunes, the song debuted at the top spot in 14 countries, including the U.S., and hit #1 in all 23 iTunes stores worldwide its first week out.
In less than three years, Lady Gaga has earned numerous achievements including five Grammy Awards amongst twelve nominations, two Guinness World Records and the estimated sale of 23 million albums and 64 million singles worldwide. Billboard named her both the “2010 Artist of the Year” and the top selling artist of 2010 ranking her as the 73rd Artist of the 2000’s decade. Gaga has been included in Time’s annual “The 2010 Time 100” list of the most influential people in the world as well as Forbes’ list of the “The World’s Most Powerful Celebrities” in the world. Forbes also placed her at number seven on their annual list of the world’s “100 Most Powerful Women.” With over 1.9 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook with over 44 million ‘likes’ and is #1 on Twitter with over 15 million followers. Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits.
Her real family name is Germanotta, and she has Italian origins (thanks her father).
ReplyDeleteLike Madonna.
(difficult to say if here we are proud of both of them or not...)
ReplyDeletewell from one 'icon' to another..Namaste !
ReplyDeleteshe seems to be hugely popular celeste....
ReplyDeletehow've u been doin margaret
Gaga certainly brings an element wherever she goes not seen before not that Madonna didnt have her day. Gaga has ramped it up a notch but connecting with her fans on a personal level. Her flamboyance is unmatched without going off on the deep end into areas where Madonna either tred lightly or flared up in full force. But either way you look at it both have impressed a generation or two.
ReplyDeleteIts just that one got older and the other has just begun. Hopefully Gaga will be a little more savy focusing on her art as she calls it and not get caught up in the wave. She is an entertainer there is not doubt and how accepted is that worldwide? 15million monsters on Twitter and counting. Shakira has almost 10million on Twitter. So who's counting? Does it make a difference? Its all relative all the way to the bank ..Namaste
Not sure popularity is a good reason for we should feel proud of them. I'd prefer (true) musicians like for example Depeche Mode to have Italian origins (unfortunately they haven't...). Nothing wrong in pop music, but first being a huge pop icon doesn't mean being a musician; second it's requested having an excellent voice and using it; third it's requested creating (or performing) an excellent pop music (not so easy to be created, probably the most difficult one). Anyway: good luck to Madonna & Lady Gaga! They're nice in their Italian...ness. I keep on supporting the GREAT DM. Dave Gahan RULES and enchants thanks to his AMAZING voice.
ReplyDeleteits good that the hollywood actors and actores respect the indian and its culture.
