Summary

As one of the world’s best-selling musicians, Lady Gaga has set the musical bar high。 Since her debut album, The Fame (2008), she has sold more than 124 million records and scooped numerous awards, including twelve Grammy Awards and eighteen MTV Music Video Awards。

Yet she is much more than a musician。 At the helm of the Haus of Gaga—a close-knit circle of behind-the-scenes creatives—Lady Gaga is a performance artist like no other; her forward-thinking fashions and innovations mark her out as the ultimate maverick。 Recently, she has reinvented herself as an accomplished jazz performer, dueting with legendary singer Tony Bennett on Cheek to Cheek (2014) and Love For Sale (2021), while also proving herself a consummate actor with lead roles in A Star Is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021)。 And with her advocacy for LGBT rights and active championing of kindness via the Born This Way Foundation, co-founded with her mother Cynthia Germanotta in 2011, it’s clear to see why her fans adore her。

Lady Gaga: Applause
is a celebration of a true artist of our time。 Illustrated throughout with stunning photography and complementary fashion segments, this comprehensive history follows Lady Gaga’s ever-evolving and often unpredictable career, and is testament to her many talents。 A must for Little Monsters everywhere。

If you are a fan of Lady Gaga you are going to love this book Lady Gaga by Annie Zaleski。 I have to say that before reading this book I knew very little about Lady Gaga。 I do enjoy her music but to be able to learn more of her background and upbringing was interesting。 If you are not a Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady Gaga fan 。 I highly recommend reading her story and learn how she became the idol and pop star she is today。 I had no clue that she was from New York。 Most read for anyo If you are a fan of Lady Gaga you are going to love this book Lady Gaga by Annie Zaleski。 I have to say that before reading this book I knew very little about Lady Gaga。 I do enjoy her music but to be able to learn more of her background and upbringing was interesting。 If you are not a Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady Gaga fan 。 I highly recommend reading her story and learn how she became the idol and pop star she is today。 I had no clue that she was from New York。 Most read for anyone who loves music。 After reading this book you may become a MONSTER and Stan Lady Gaga。 I have to say that i received this book from from netgallery and the publisher but my opinion is 100 % my own。 。。。more

Lady Gaga: Applause by Annie Zaleski takes a look at the the artist from the diversity of her talents。First, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher Palazzo Editions and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。My Synopsis and Opinions:Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March 28, 1986 in New York City, Lady Gaga has become a music icon, a fashion icon, an LGBTQIA+ rights activist, an actress, and bottom-line a Lady Gaga: Applause by Annie Zaleski takes a look at the the artist from the diversity of her talents。First, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher Palazzo Editions and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。My Synopsis and Opinions:Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March 28, 1986 in New York City, Lady Gaga has become a music icon, a fashion icon, an LGBTQIA+ rights activist, an actress, and bottom-line a performance artist like few others。  She is a maverick, and it seems she can sing any genre, and hit every note。  Her timing is amazing。 Her acting career started in high school, and eventually led to her playing the lead in A Star is Born and House of Gucci。As a child, she was given music, voice and acting lessons, although she truly preferred learning on her own。  She played the piano by ear, and hated the discipline of lessons。    She attended a rather strict Catholic school, and went on to college (although she dropped out)。The book takes you through her life from being a bullied teenager to a household name。She has sold more than 124 million records, received 12 Grammy Awards, and 18 MTV Music Video Awards。Lady Gaga's generosity seems to have no end。  She has donated significant amounts to the Haiti Earthquake relief, the Japan Tsunami relief, and regularly donates her time to benefit concerts for the World Health Organization and other charities。  She co-founded The Born This Way Foundation with her mother, aimed at promoting kindness to all, and developing programs to mobilize the youth of today to succeed。Beware。  This book would be best bought in hard-cover, and it is not really suited to an e-reader。  The pictures in it are truly amazing, and they aren't just of Lady Gaga。。。they are also of her favorite artists。  The pictures were a real treat。  There is a section in the book showing her entire Discography。Now, I admit that I did not "grow up" with her music, as I am a good deal older that that。  However, I have admired some of her works over the years。  Her lyrics, videos, and outfits are often quite controversial。  That doesn't bother me。   Whether you are a 'little monster" (her fanbase), or even if you question her fashion choices, you must admit that she is entertainment at it's best!I wonder where she is headed next。。。。For a more complete review of this book and others (including the reason I chose to read/review this book, as well as author information and contact details), please visit my blog: http://katlovesbooksblog。wordpress。com/ 。。。more

A well-compiled and interesting look at one of the most original, best-selling, iconic performers of our time。 Lady Gaga keeps recreating herself and forging into new areas of the music, acting, style, fashion, and make-up industries。 She has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with, yet also as someone equally determined to give back to various causes。A visually stunning book as well!My thanks to Palazzo Editions for letting me read an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley。 It is scheduled to b A well-compiled and interesting look at one of the most original, best-selling, iconic performers of our time。 Lady Gaga keeps recreating herself and forging into new areas of the music, acting, style, fashion, and make-up industries。 She has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with, yet also as someone equally determined to give back to various causes。A visually stunning book as well!My thanks to Palazzo Editions for letting me read an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley。 It is scheduled to be published 9/1/22。 All opinions expressed in this review are my own and are freely given。 。。。more

Stunning photographs and enthusiastic text make for a fan’s dream book。 The book gives equal weight to Gaga as a musician, fashion icon and person, telling an interesting story about her rise to fame and the choices she made on the way。 Definitely one for the fans, don’t look for critical or objective analysis in this book。

I first want to say that I am a monster so I know a bit about Lady Gaga and after reading this, I know the exact same things I knew before。 There is nothing new nor original in any of this。 Every quote and information comes from interviews done by other publications, blogs, magazines, etc。 If it was on the internet at some point and was about Gaga, it was in here。 This entire book was like scrolling through one of those stories on a website that does not report anything new, it just rephrases wh I first want to say that I am a monster so I know a bit about Lady Gaga and after reading this, I know the exact same things I knew before。 There is nothing new nor original in any of this。 Every quote and information comes from interviews done by other publications, blogs, magazines, etc。 If it was on the internet at some point and was about Gaga, it was in here。 This entire book was like scrolling through one of those stories on a website that does not report anything new, it just rephrases what was already known, and putting a link in to the original reporting。The real reason to read this one was the pictures。 There are not a lot of original photos of the one the book is based on, but the images of the other musicians were great。 。。。more

I don’t think of myself as a big Lady Gaga fan, definitely not one of her little monsters。 I’ve enjoyed her music over the years and also some of her acting work。 Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun reading this book。 It’s very insightful and opened up the world of Gaga to me in a whole new way。 In a very straight forward and chronological way the author describes Gaga’s life over the years, her career and her struggles along the way。 I got more and more curious to learn new bits about her life and I don’t think of myself as a big Lady Gaga fan, definitely not one of her little monsters。 I’ve enjoyed her music over the years and also some of her acting work。 Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun reading this book。 It’s very insightful and opened up the world of Gaga to me in a whole new way。 In a very straight forward and chronological way the author describes Gaga’s life over the years, her career and her struggles along the way。 I got more and more curious to learn new bits about her life and her evolution in the music and acting business。 The photos in this book are stunning and augment this feeling of being totally submerged in her art。 I especially find it interesting that she did not only reinvent herself with every album but also in her clothing choices。 I would recommend this for everyone who likes Gaga or music history in general and prefers a more factual biography over an emotional one。Thank you so much Netgalley and Ad Lib Publishers for this e-arc。 In return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review。 。。。more

This book does a wonderful job in highlighting her most significant and memorable moments thus far in her career。 A sincere thank you to NetGalley and Palazzo for providing me an advanced copy of “Lady Gaga - Applause” in exchange for an honest review。 I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read this story and leave my review voluntarily。
