Having five songs that made the top ten on the Billboard Top 100, Lady Gaga has been climbing the ladder of fame at a rapid pace.  She is loved for her music and crude attitude, but above all, she is adored for her out going sense of fashion. Lady Gaga has became so popular that according to Google Trends, Lady Gaga was typed in the Google search engine more than President Obama for the past year. But is all public attention for Lady Gaga a bit much?
     “Lady Gaga pushes boundaries that our society tries to ignore. She makes her opinion on things such as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and she is extremely smart with the way she carries her stardom. She doesn’t want anyone to believe that she is better than, but simply wants to celebrate who they are,” said Sarah Stern, 11, who admits that she is a “Little Monster” or fan of Lady Gaga.
      Lady Gaga has even been compared to Madonna, for the controversy she has caused. In the 1980’s and 90’s, Madonna was frowned upon for her actions such as dancing provocatively on the stage of the Video Music Awards in 1984, burning crosses in her Like a Prayer music video.  So it’s not surprising to see that Gaga is put side by side to Madonna when it comes to shocking actions. 
    “Lady Gaga is very much like Madonna in the way that she pushes boundaries, not only in the music industry, but also in political debates.  Madonna and Lady Gaga both are passionate about their music and their views on current events,” Stern said.
     Gaga has been on the scene ever since her song “Just Dance” hit the radio waves in  April of 2008. And addiction of Lady Gaga has not even slowed down the slightest bit. But for some the rage over Lady Gaga is overbearing and unnecessary. 
     “I don’t like Lady Gaga because she is trashy and her ‘music’ isn’t really music at all. And who wears raw meat as clothes? Yuck!” Marissa Kimble said, 10.
     Whatever the opinion one has of Lady Gaga, she seems to be doing a good job at receiving attention. But whether the talk about her is good or bad, she will continue to shine.
