 “Just Dance” singer Lady Gaga gives back to the
gays
By Brandon Voss
Not quite sure what to make of electro-pop diva
Lady Gaga’s theatrical fashion-forward fierceness?
Follow the advice of her international hit single:
“Just dance. It’ll be okay.” Still hot off a
history-making performance on the Miss Universe
Pageant in Vietnam and with her glittery debut
album The Fame out in October, the
22-year-old NYC native discusses booze,
bisexuality and even Britney before she makes all
the boys gag at Daniel Nardicio’s birthday
celebration on Friday, August 8, at The Ice Palace
in Cherry Grove.
HX: Did you always know that the gays were
going to go gaga over your music?
Lady Gaga: I have a lot of gay friends, so it
was more like, I wonder if my friends will like
it. I’m a dancer and grew up in a theater
community in New York, so I feel like my music is
a product of that environment. I find something
really beautiful about the spirit of the gay
community. I feel a part of it. I was the girl in
high school who never really had a lot of popular
friends, so I found my place with my gay friends
in acting school and dance class. It’s a really
inspiring community, and I feel very privileged to
be around it.
Who’s your best gay friend?
I couldn’t say—I have too many! I would upset a
lot of people.
You surely earned even more gay fans with the
recent announcement that you wrote a track for
Britney’s upcoming album. Was that a dream come
true?
Yeah. I was working with Rodney Jerkins on
Pussycat Dolls, and we wrote this song—I almost
slipped and told you the name. Thank God I caught
myself; I respect her a lot, so I was to give her
control over that. When we were done with the
song, I was like, “Oh, I want to sing it,” but my
album was already closed. It never even crossed my
mind that she was doing a new record. Then Rodney
played it for [Britney’s manager] Larry Rudolph,
who was in the studio. Rodney called me later and
was like, “Britney’s people are freaking out about
this song.” Ultimately, she makes the decisions,
so when I found out that she loved it and was
going to record it, it was amazing. I actually
heard it yesterday with her on it for the first
time, and I really had chills.
Shouldn’t you start being more selfish with
hits that you write?
My record is really great, and it has a lot of
hits on there that I can run with for a while. I’m
not an egomaniac; I don’t need to sing every great
song that I write. If anything, it’s more of an
achievement for me as a writer to get to write for
a superstar.
You did a mini-promo tour of the NYC gay club
scene a couple of months ago. What was that
experience like?
It was awesome, and it made me want to work
harder. When I was at Splash, I was mad that I was
performing, because I wanted to be on E, sweating
my pants off in the crowd. When I play at gay
clubs, it’s like playing for my friends: They get
it and understand what I’m trying to say, and they
have a very open mind about art, pop and
commercial music. When I did Miss Universe, all of
the gays on my site were like, “Man, you looked so
cool. We loved your outfit.” But every now and
then you’ll see a comment that’s like, “I love
her, but she’s a little weird.” I’m always
thinking to myself, Oh, they just don’t know
fashion. [Laughs]
Performing for years in downtown clubs, your
life could’ve taken a darker turn. How’d you avoid
temptation?
Well, I really didn’t for a little while. I was
for sure not focused, but I was making great work.
I don’t want to encourage people to do drugs for
music or anything, but I did it because I wanted
to understand what inspired the artistic life of
the ’70s and how Andy Warhol functioned. It was
sort of a creative journey for myself, and at some
point it just got out of hand. I was having
trouble sleeping, and I would have a panic attack
after one glass of wine just because my body was
so afraid of substance. I was too afraid to lose
everything.
Was there a night in particular that inspired
“Just Dance”?
Yeah, for sure. If you’ve ever been so high that
it’s, like, scary, the only way you can deal with
it is not deal with it, so you just kind of dance
through the intoxication. I wrote the song the day
after I had just flew in from New York to L.A., so
I was taken very quickly out of my party
lifestyle. I wrote it instantly—like it flew out
of my body. I’d been working on this album for
two-and-a-half years, and I was at a crossroads
with my songwriting. I was trying to be so cool
with my own music, but I would get better
responses when I would write for other artists
because I was not trying to be cool. So when I did
“Just Dance,” that was my way of being like, “just
fuckin’ write a good song. Stop worrying about
what’s going to fly in the underground. Worry
about writing a great record.” Actually, that
record ended up being more powerful than any of
the songs that I racked my brain writing, and
after that, it was an influx of record after
record. It was almost like a switch went off in my
brain, and I figured out how to write a good pop
song.
Are you really as boy-crazy as your lyrics
suggest?
Yeah. Well, I’m girl-crazy too. I really depends
on where I am. I love men, I love women and I love
sex, but I’m actually pretty introverted right now
because I’m so enveloped in my work, and it’s hard
to let anybody near that. People *** with your
energy, and it’s very hard to find people that are
supportive of your art and don’t want to take time
away from it. A lot of times, boyfriends and
girlfriends get jealous and want all your
attention, and I really don’t have time for that.
Do you consider yourself bisexual?
Sure. I mean, I don’t really consider sexual
orientation in general. It’s like, people are born
the way they are.
If a drag queen wanted to do Lady Gaga, what
would be your best advice?
If you’re wearing a blonde wig or extensions, you
have to wash it with purple shampoo. Because I
don’t have any yellow in my hair and I’m very
insane about that.
What’s been your most mind-blowing appearance
thus far?
Probably Gay Pride in San Francisco. To be asked
to play the main stage and close the whole weekend
was—I don’t know. I got very choked up on stage.
Right before I did “Just Dance,” I said, “I just
want to tell all of you that being here makes me
so ***** proud.” Everybody looked very
emotional. It was kind of this beautiful moment,
because I can put out a lot of records, write for
other people, sell and get famous, but it’s not
the same as really connecting with and inspiring a
community of people. If I can be that for anyone,
especially the gay community, that’s incredible.

Stefani Germanotta (born 1986), better known by her stage name Lady GaGa, is a dance-pop and electronica musician signed to Interscope Records. On April 8, 2008, she released her first single "Just Dance".[1]
As a child Lady GaGa attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart
School. Having learned piano by ear at the age of 4, Lady GaGa went on
to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike
nights by the age of 14.[2] At the age of 17 she gained early admission to the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, where she studied music. By age twenty she began writing songs for Interscope Records artists, such as the Pussycat Dolls. She performed at the Miss Universe 2008 pageant in Vietnam, singing her debut single, "Just Dance".
The name
The stage name "Lady GaGa" according to an interview by Ron Slomowicz, was
said to be a reference to the song "Radio Ga-Ga" by Queen.
Britney Spears sixth studio album
In summer 2008 it was announced that Lady GaGa is working with pop singer Britney Spears on her upcoming album along with various other world famous music moguls including Kanye West, Pharrel Williams, Jonathan Rotem, Babyface, Bloodshy & Avant, Bryan-Michael Cox, Keri Hilson, Guy Sigsworth, Justin Timberlake, Polow Da Don, Taio Cruz, Darkchild, Danja and many, many more . Featured songs
"Just Dance" is an electropop/dance-pop song and lead single from her first album, The Fame. The song is written by Lady GaGa and features Colby O'Donis, who is signed to the same label as Lady Gaga, and Akon, who provides backing vocals through Colby's verse and shortly afterwards. The track is produced by RedOne (most known for working with Kat DeLuna).
The song is said to be about a girl who is in a club, and she has
apparently had so much to drink she cannot even remember what the
club's name is.
Lady GaGa was at the Miss Universe 2008
pageant, where she performed "Just Dance". After performing at the
pageant, "Just Dance" has climbed in the charts, such as the iTunes Store, where it has reached #99 then #48 and shortly after peaked at #43. Music video
Lady Gaga in the music video for "Just Dance".
The video, directed by Melina,
starts Lady GaGa arrives with her people at a house party, one of whom
puts a stereo on, starting the music. The crowd at the party appear to
be sleeping in different areas, and are awoken by the music. They all
start to dance, and scenes of the party are intercut with scenes of
Lady GaGa. Cameo appearances are made by Akon and Chantelle Paige.
Chart performance
The single was a hit in clubs in U.S. peaking both number 2 in Hot Dance Club Play and Hot Dance Airplay. In Canada, the song was a hit. It debuted at number 97[1] in Canadian Hot 100 and so far peaked number 2[2]
giving Lady Gaga her first top 5 there. It has recently debuted at #1
