Which era do you think gaga was more "herself"?

[Gaga is Life 101]

The Fame or Born This Way, and probably The Fame :)

ARTPOP. She seemed to be the most sober and healthiest during this era, even if she didn't have total control of her album promotion.

 

I remember her saying that she was in a dark place during Born This Way during a recent(ish?) interview, so that's why I disagree with that option.

I think that every era is a step to be more and more herself

BTW & ARTPOP tbh

None tbh, she's seemed so different every single era. I don't feel as if any of the eras were 100% her. Honestly, she seems the most genuine in between eras

Thats a hard question. Its not TFlol, or TFM...BTW seemed waayyy too preachy. I'm guessing ARTPOP just because it seems like she's not out attention seeking like she use too.

When I think of a visual representation of Gaga being herself, I think of this:

 

 

In terms of style I'd say she was herself during BTW the most, but in terms of showing her personality.. then ARTPOP. She seemed super open then and didn't hide anything, even the things she said she would never share.

 

I don't think the style in ARTPOP is a true representation of herself. Even at the begining of it she said she was annoyed that they were trying to make her 'pretty' and she wanted to rebel against it.

 

and then there's this

I read this question and immediately thought BTW but now I'm giving it a little thought, and i think this one has been the most raw. While during btw we had the opportunity to learn a little bit more of her heart, i don't think she has ever been more raw, in an emotional sense, than this era. During btw we NEVER would have gotten performances like swinefest, or songs like dope or swine or dwuw.

During btw she went much deeper than we'd previously seen of her, but she was still too "structured" to warrant some of the things we've seem this era. I remember a quote from i think around 2011, she said something like I don't want to seem human on stage so you will never catch me drinking water on stage. She also said something about never letting us see her without heels. During this era she's made a POINT to take off her eig, smear her makeup, undress on stage, show us the process of her work, and not just the result. This era more than ever, shes not hiding the toll this work can have on her and the reasons why she must keep creating. Shes showing us this is really real, this is really her, she's a person too and the moment she steps on stage it isn't just some iconic crystallized moment in time, but the beginning of an emotional journey got both her and us.

I really think it was Born this way.

[2007 5,291]

I'll say TF or TFM cuz she was just living and enjoying herself, before she lost herself to her past and it impact her since then

[Voltaic 25]

She said during the ARTPOP era that in the BORN THIS WAY cycle she felt very insecure so she put a lot of makeup on and hid behind her costumes but she had to stand for her fans but anyways she felt insecure.

Now she seems honestly happier and more personal and real.
