Advertisements News Lady Gaga: I'm so dedicated

Email this story Printable version
Lady Gaga says it's 'more important than anything' that people realise how dedicated she is to music.
The singer understands there are people who don't like her music.
However, she performs for the minority who love to hear her sing.
'I believe very strongly that there are many people on this earth that really don't like what I do ' or how I sing or what music I make ' but some of those people admire the commitment to the work,' she told the January edition of UK magazine Elle. 'That to me is more important that anything.'
She added that the biggest conception about her is 'that I would ever be concerned with there being a misconception about me'.
Gaga hopes to leave a legacy behind her.
When she is gone, the Born This Way singer wants to have built a reputation as a fearless artist.
'I want to be remembered as brave,' she said simply.
Gaga is currently promoting the promo for her new single Marry the Night.
The video sees the star posing topless as she eats cereal, dyeing her hair blue and playing the piano in the nude.
She has claimed the footage ' which lasts almost 14 minutes ' offers a unique insight into her life.
'WATCH MARRY THE NIGHT VIDEO ON: http://eonli.ne/MTNvid An autobiographical film recounting my past, revealing my struggles + love for showbiz,' she wrote on her Twitter account a few hours ago.
Gaga has told E! that the video was inspired by being dropped by her first record label and fearing her career was over. The star was naked when she received the news and that is why she decided to strip for the promo.
'That's probably the most honest moment in that video of everything I've ever done. My directorial decision was for them to just f**king roll the cameras, because I couldn't go in and out of the moment,' the 25-year-old explained.
'There's something quite comical about the opening of the video, even though it's quite sinister and dark.'
The clip - which was directed by Gaga - opens with the eccentric musician being wheeled through a psychiatric ward by two nurses.

Busta Rhymes, Mystikal Join Cash Money Roster


In the midst of scoring another mainstream hip-hop hit album ( Drake's "Take Care," which debuted with 631,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan) and preparing for another one ( Nicki Minaj's sophomore set, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," due in February), Cash Money Records announced the addition of a pair of rap veterans -- Busta Rhymes and Mystikal -- to its roster on Nov. 16.

While Rhymes secured a four-album contract with Cash Money that includes physical distribution, he also inked a one-off digital distribution agreement with the newly launched Google Music. Cash Money co-founder/CEO Brian "Birdman" Williams says that a deal between Rhymes and Cash Money has been in the works since Rhymes departed Universal Motown in May, and that "E.L.E. 2: End of the World" is due in the first quarter. He adds that Rhymes has been furiously recording in Miami throughout November. Rhymes' Cash Money debut will follow a rejuvenating collaboration with Chris Brown and new labelmate Lil Wayne on Brown's 2011 hit, "Look at Me Now," which has sold 3 million copies, according to SoundScan. Rhymes and Brown recently reteamed for "Why Stop Now," a viral single released Nov. 16.

Meanwhile, Mystikal's sixth album is also expected early next year. The New Orleans rapper served a six-year prison stint for sexual battery and extortion that ended in 2010. Although he hasn't issued an album since 2001's "Tarantula," Williams envisions a return to the sound of his 2000 breakout album, "Let's Get Ready," which spawned hits like "Shake Ya Ass" and "Danger (Been So Long)" and has sold 2.2 million copies, according to SoundScan.

"These youngsters don't even know who he is, but when I listen to him rap, he's an animal," Williams says. "He and Busta are great talent to fit in with what we have. They're going to put up the numbers."
