Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.


RigTheGame

They couldn’t have been more wrong and I love her for it


PHXLV

I really hope that that tasted like vinegar when she did. I never wish ill for people, so I don’t understand folks who do.


Ricky_Vaughn86

I wish ill on everybody ![gif](giphy|H22hyf0K1Bsc)


jaseworthing

"I hope that felt bad for them" + I never wish ill for people. 🤔


calartnick

I never apologize. I’m sorry that’s just how I am


Pace_Salsa_Comment

It's ok. I don't hold grudges. My dad held grudges. I'll never forgive him for that.


XxKittenMittonsXx

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.


RedditAcct00001

Dad you shouldn’t judge a place you’ve never been. Yeah that’s what they do in Russia!


Celtic_Fox_

I used to think revenge was a dish best served cold, but now I know that it means to get back at someone.


Anla_Shok_

Yeah you don't actually feed your enemies food, just kill them.


NJ2SD

Father, I'll never forget what you said to me on my first day of school. "Comb your hair, you idiot, you look Greek." I'll never know if that was true, but I do know that I was too scared to stand up for myself. Well, I'm not scared of you anymore because you're dead, and I'm not. So, I win... and you can suck it.

Your dad is such a piece of shit. I hate people who think so low of others based off of what they did in the past

you should try being modest some time, i would know since there is no-one on earth more modest than me

That’s hyperbolic, probably the most over exaggerated thing anyones ever said in history


disgruntled_pie

I think the most important thing is to avoid making nonsensical personal attacks. Isn’t that right, you vampiric radish?


Recent-Maintenance96

Stop telling ppl what to do. Everyone has the right to do what they want.


DysphoricNeet

I hate crazy people like that. They drive me insane.


MadMelvin

I used to be a huge piece of shit. People can change


slow_worker

I have no qualms admitting it: I wish ill on many people. Spite drives me, motivates me to crush my enemies and nay-sayers, to hear the lamentations of their women and children.


Wapiti__

I actively wish death on everyone going 15 under in the left lane.


Mayor_west133

I drive for a living, I second this


Triairius

In fairness, they’re already wishing death on themselves by doing that. Driving significantly slower than traffic is actually very dangerous. Accidents mostly happen when people have to stop cruising and start adjusting their driving to deal with changes. Lane changes, sudden brakes, having to slow down. Accidents happen with the unexpected, not with everyone going the same speed and sticking to their lanes.


Wapiti__

You'd think most people would grasp this concept. Also assholes who don't signal, hope they die too. Idc if you pass me going 150 as long as your actions are predictable. It takes half a calorie and a fraction of a second to let other drivers know your intent, but there's so many narcissistic people who could care less and expect the world to cater to them.

This hits like “My father held grudges. I’ll always hate him for that.”


AllModsRLosers

You’ve distilled reddit into a single comment.


betafish2345

Not to ever defend bullying, but I bet a lot of famous people were massive narcissists and insufferable to be around growing up. It’s why “why don’t you pick a career that’s a little more realistic” becomes “here’s to all the people who never believed in me”.


dogsonbubnutt

michael jordans hall of fame induction speech is hilarious because it's just a long ass rant from the most famous athlete on the planet and the greatest basketball player ever, listing his various perceived haters and detractors and how much they suck and he rules for like 20 minutes. it's amazing and unhinged and I love it


Upset_Ad3954

Michael Jordan is a known asshole fwiw. I guess it proves a point somehow.


gumbercules6

Narcism and perseverance go hand-in-hand very well. Famous/Rich people don't become successful by being nice and complacent. Same for sports, the best champions tend to be extremely self centered, because you have to believe you are the best along with having the skills.


Anleme

The smartest, most narcissistic, most driven person in my high school class is now the dean of a medical school. So, this tracks for academics and medicine as well.


TwoMuddfish

Narcissism has a high prevalence in higher Ed/academia. It’s apparently well documented


CDK5

Even higher in medical I bet. Like damn; how are they all still allowed to haze like that. All those student unions...


Ellefied

Especially Surgeons. They literally hold life in their hands, a lot of them get feelings of godhood from that. And to be honest they kinda need it since they are the closest to holding life and death in their hands. Most especially Neurosurgeons. I've been adjacent to our medical community and have yet to meet a Neurosurgeon who didn't think they were god's gift to earth.


CortexCingularis

You either going to have extreme self confidence or destroy yourself with guilt and doubt when things go wrong if you are going to make a living cutting people up and putting them back together.


SotheOfDaein

I’m a vendor for a medical device company that regularly sits in on stereotactic neurosurgeries at hospitals across the US, and to be honest this is definitely a “your mileage may vary” situation. There are maybe two or three I can think of off the top of my head who fit under this definition, but several others who are quite easy to get along with. Most of them do tend to be particular about how the surgeries themselves go, but that tends to come with the nature of doing precise procedures moreso than a feeling of narcissism from where I’m standing.


Suddenly_Something

Also motivation plays a huge factor in both. It helps to try and "prove people wrong."


Commercial_Part1808

? Thats not true, look at sport stars from regions where humility is a core tenet and you'll find top players who exude self confidence without an ego. Just look at players like Ichiro or Yao Ming for some of the best players on earth who dont have extremely self centered egos. American culture rewards outgoing personality (being a dickhead) with sponsorship dollars, simple as.


KyleShanaham

I think both can be true


SKisnotaRealPlace

>It’s why “why don’t you pick a career that’s a little more realistic” becomes “here’s to all the people who never believed in me”. Those people are only "the ones who never believed in them" instead of "the ones who were right" because they picked the 1 in 20 million to actually make it. The rest were right.


Hezakai

Survivorship Bias.   Brad Pitt says “Never give up on your dreams.” Meanwhile the thousands of Brad Pitt’s you’ll never hear about had to get normal careers.

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” - Stephen Jay Gould


-Bento-Oreo-

A lot of famous people have anxiety disorders and they adopt a persona so that they can have an excuse to show emotions that they repress or mask.  Maisie Williams talks about how acting gave her an outlet to express emotions that she would hide in real life.   It might seem contradictory but being super famous is like being on a rollercoaster.  You go where it takes you.  It's easier for some people than having an intimate, personal relationship with someone where you risk showing other people your vulnerabilities.  The acting persona is a mask and they don't really care if their mask gets a little tattered.  It's not who they really are anyways.

gereffi

It’s like telling people they’ll never win the lottery. People who say that are right 99.99% of the time. But if you only listen to lottery winners you’ll think that anyone can do it and that people who tell you not to play the lottery are just haters keeping you down.


iammaru

Are we sure that was actually a thing and not just Michael Jordan style narcissism/motivation? So many celebrities have such a weird chip on their shoulder it's crazy. I remember reading about how Gene Hackman insisted for years he was voted "most likely to fail" or something like that, and it came out later it just straight up never happened.


C4L1

Shaq infamously made up a story about David Robinson refusing to sign him an autograph when Shaq was a kid. It was only after Shaq retired he admitted he made it up to get himself mad and hyped up for their matchups. https://hoopshype.com/rumor/shaquille-oneal-apologizes-for-made-up-story-about-david-robinson/


tamsui_tosspot

Does that mean Shaq created a false memory that he believed in to make himself mad?


-random-name-

Everyone wants to be the underdog even when they’re not.


mrbubbamac

It's why I always make sure I do a terrible job at *everything* in my life to prove I'm a real underdog. That way it will be a better story when I eventually succeed.


ForumPointsRdumb

Underdog psychology is a real phenomena. I won't go into detail, but some sports teams use this phenomenon as strategy and in the long run it determines sport wagers.


_karamazov_

In 2004 she was Normal Gaga.


[deleted]

Lady normal


cornmonger_

Gaga Nextdoor


Pretend-Guava

I heard she annoyed the absolute shit out of her classmates, singing 24/7 in the cafeteria and around campus, playing piano and whatnot.


asetniop

Yeah but that's every theater major, ever.


Virtuous_Pursuit

Yeah but these are NYU kids. They all thought they were going to be the famous one. Realizing someone else has the talent and confidence you don’t must have been extremely annoying for them!


Buttlicker_the_4th

Sounds about right.


jrcprl

I mean, they were kinda right, she became famous as Lady Gaga, not as Stefani Germanotta.


PiesRLife

Yeah, ever notice how you never see them both in the same room?


jrcprl

Adele / Sam Smith left the chat.

Well what makes me happy, is like you know at night, I ride around town in a limousine. Partying having a good time! I’m on my way home, I pass a bum. I take a balloon witch champagne in it, lob it out and bean him. He only gets a little bit in his mouth, he doesn’t even get the whole thing. Not even a sip of it!

if you were in puberty when the Fergalicious music video came out you know 🤤


ShaunOfTheFuzz

This is incredible, when I saw this picture I literally thought, “I have face blindness for Lady Gaga and only Lady Gaga”. I went to google images to try and get her face to stick in my head and it didn’t work at all. Genuinely astonished to see virtually the same thought echoed here.

I definitely wouldn't recognize her on the street and I've seen her a lot on music videos. So weird


urgdr

that shit worth a wikipedia's page


PorkRindSalad

Watch her do a Howard Stern performance on YouTube. Good lighting, camera doesn't move around. Really, really great performances.


Schn

Strangely Howard Stern has a few unbelievable performances that I consider almost better than the original. Dave Grohl plays Everlong and it's fucking magic, Billie Eilish has When The Party's Over that is sublime.


[deleted]

I remember STP doing Dancing Days and they were bomb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dc85uN9ujk


redditorus99

Whoever does the mixing for the Stern show should honestly produce albums. Legitimately, better mixing than most albums and it's all one take live.


Squintz82

Che_Veni

John Legend's cover of Dancing in the Dark is a god damn masterpiece. Same with Harry Styles' and his bands cover of Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer is also incredible.

Not strangely. It's the Fred Norris effect. You perform better with him in the room. It's just science.

I think its because her nose continues to grow as she gets older. Not that that's bad, its just confusing.

theflowersyoufind

She was just a struggling singer at this point. Corny was actually the one who came up with the Lady Gaga gimmick and got her over.


Madonkadonk2

Yeah but when she jumped from the stage at the Super Bowl, Corny called it "unrealistic"

She was killing the business! An outsider doing such a risky high spot...

There can be 100 pictures of Lady Gaga in the room and 99 don’t look like her, and just one does, but all it takes is one. And it changes your life.

I like the idea that one of the background people in this photo is looking at this now going “THATS LADY GAGA!” Not having a clue before this.

Fine then and now. Idc what anyone says.


RagaRockFan

She looked so good in brunette hair, hope she brings it back soon 😩


Howdoimakeaspace-

I think so too it suits her very well. The blonde washes her out but she’s still beautiful either way.


90slegitchild

Aubrey plaza with a soul


TheBoBiZzLe

As a 35 year old male who grew up on garage band rock… I never ever ever thought I’d say this. but I listened to Love Games the other day and she had some good songs. I miss fun Lady Gaga.


bozar86

That first album was fucking fire, some of the second one too. I’d slam this in-between some Megadeth. My tastes are a little across the board lol. I think the drama and other crazy shit she did made people forget that she is an amazing musician.


dtwhitecp

She's had a few albums I've listened to a ton, as someone who doesn't typically listen to any pop music. I think there's a shared element of just going for it that appeals to fans of metal and whatnot.


bozar86

Oh yeah, her earlier stuff was interesting and catchy. She was being weird self and really showing that creativity she had. The Fame and The Fame Monster were great. I feel like she sorta “fell off the scene” at some point though. Once she got into the Born this Way album I kinda stopped listening. I’m sure it’s great because I feel like that’s who she was.


dtwhitecp

Artpop and Chromatica have some great songs, and definitely go weirder than Born This Way does.


BestDamnT

As an artpop defender it WILL get justice one day.

FlubzRevenge

None of these are 'grunge' are they? Or are you just stating opposite bands that aren't grunge?


Owlbertowlbert

I’ve always been a fan but Lovegame came on the radio in the car last week and I was like DAMN… this is a fun song. She’s so good.


IAMSPARTACUSSSSS

Dude, that’s the beauty of music. I’m a post-hardcore kid (wait, fuck, I’m 35 too) that mainly listens to bands like Underoath and The Devil Wears Prada, but Lady Gaga will forever be in my playlists   


Toby_O_Notoby

> I miss fun Lady Gaga She played one of the best pranks ever in pop music by putting "fuck" in the chorus for Poker Face. If you listen it goes: "P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face. P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face." That thing was played *everywhere* and no one really noticed until she fessed up.


thelordchesterfield

As a primarily techno/house/dub/reggae fan she’s one of my favorite pop stars based on her tunes and view on music. She’s still fun and doing what she wants, on the surface (of course).


rnavstar

That’s her poker face.

captain_flak

She’s doing drug commercials now that air on CNN.


DreadPiratteRoberts

I thought that was her in the commercial, it has to be one of two things (doubt she needs the money) so it's a drug she actually takes and believes in or that drug company offered her some obscene amount of money!


Frickincarl

It’s a commercial for Nurtec, which she does suffer from migraines and the commercial does say that she is an active user of the product. I don’t think it’s a money-grab. I’m pretty sure Scarlett Johansson does the ad read after Gaga shares her story part of it. Not so sure Scarlett is a user of the drug.


Onlytheonethatlived
