[UK Only] Gaga Daily is giving away two tickets to see Gaga in London!

[hell0samuel 59]

Music to me isn't about the noise or the singing techniques or the production. Music to me is a form of escape, whenever I feel like I need a moment I turn to the music. 

Gaga has always been there for me whenever I needed someone to be there for me. I've always been a fan right from the very start but was unable to see her live until The Born This Way Ball in London - the night that changed my life. It felt amazing to hear some of m favourite songs live and dance to them with friends. 

I've made some good friends through Gaga gigs and some that I still talk to now through social media. She isn't just about the music to me, although the music is great - She means something else to me that I can't put into words. 

Seeing this beautiful album live will be a great experience for me. It will be a great night of escape into music.

I HAVE AN EXAM the next day

Gaga has changed my view on the world surrounding me. Thanks to her I have discovered beauty and inspiration in the sources I did not have clue about before.

Ever since she broke trough back in 2008 she keeps inspiring me to be different and show that off with chin up. I remember seeing one of her first acoustic performances of Poker Face, during the Mooi weer de leeuw show on dutch television in 2009.

The public did not know her well and remained lukewarm as she played. But she did not give up, carried on with the performance and did her best to entertain the public. By the end of the song everyone were clapping and cheering. 

To me it was a manifestation of Gaga's inner strength and passion, which begun to further inspire me. We all may have talents, but not everybody desire to see them at the first glance. Don't judge the book by its cover. 

 

 

Observing career of my idol have encouraged me to make brave decisions in my life; leave home and start living on my own. Her example spoke to me more than a thousand words. 

I am thankful for her appearing in my life, with her music helping me to defeat all the obstacles I meet. Right now my emotional and family life have went into deep trouble and I feel more lonely away from my home country, but I don't give up and never will.

Recently I almost lost my only friend, since I hurt her badly without intending to. She also likes Gaga and I think it would be a good payoff to give this ticket to her in the manner of apology and rebuilding our relationship.

Thanks all

HEY! 

My name is Michael, I am 19 years old and I currently live in London :)

So I first discovered Lady Gaga back in 2009 while I was watching the Top40UK on tv and I remember the video for Just Dance came on. It was just so catchy but I also remember being so confused because I was so unsure if "Lady Gaga" was just the girl(Gaga) in the video or the girl and the guy(Gaga and Colby O'Donis) HAHA! 

From then on I was literally hooked. I used to play Mario Kart and I would have Just Dance, Paparazzi and Boys Boys Boys on loop in the background. I was just in love with her music and her look and spent so many hours watching all her live performances and, you know, it was just such an exciting time because there was so much buzz around what she was going to do and there was ALWAYS something to look forward to. I even recently discovered that I must have made my twitter account because of her as she was the first person I followed. That was back in the days when she had less than 1 million followers and she had that purple hair icon! The most memorable moment for me was the 2009 VMA performance which just blew me away (She killed me and then I was like "no I gotta watch this again") This cemented my unexplainable, unwavering obsession that just came out of no where and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I even took the audio from the terrible quality YouTube video and put it on my iPod so I could listen when I wanted!! haha (also I just remembered that the first album I bought was The Fame in San Francisco in 2009, so basically I actually came out as gay right there and then haha!!!)

2009 seemed to be a very Gaga themed year I am beginning to realise!

One of the best things that I have taken from Gaga is how much she inspired me to draw. I had always liked to draw but after discovering Gaga I dedicated every single one of my weekly art homeworks to her, be it a facial portrait, cd cover or a poster. She always gave me so much to work with and is really the reason why I was able to become more skilled because for me it was just so enjoyable to see her in my artwork and see myself improve over the years. It just made my life so FUN and every week I was able to create something new because of her which I will never forget. I am just realising this as I type, but things have really come full circle with the whole artistic vision behind ARTPOP. She always knew what she was doing. It was always about the art in her work and I am so glad I was able to be apart of that :) I will attach some of my drawings I did over the course of a few years so yeah, have a look! :)

Today I am still a loyal fan, and its funny because as I got older in school people would say to me "you don't still like lady gaga do you?" and as much as I wanted to lie to avoid getting teased or something, I would just tell the truth because I just didnt care if people thought differently of me because of the music I liked because at the end of the day, Gaga is great and I'm really sorry if anyone is missing out!! 

I really appreciate Gaga as an artist and the fact that she isn't afraid to push the boundaries with things like her types of of music she puts out and of course her support of the LGBT community. I came to terms with my s-xuality a bit of time after Born This Way came out and I honestly didn't really understand/appreciate the album fully until this time in my life. It was a confusing time for me because Gaga was becoming more and more known for her status as a "gay icon" and around that time I was afraid to be associated with that. Today I am so thankful for that album and just really admire her bravery in putting something like that into the world because honestly it really made me face, head on, my own problems and today things are just so much better for me. I have never been happier in my life. Today I can just listen to that album and really just enjoy it for what it is; a great pop album with a amazing message!

I always wonder what I would say if I ever met Lady Gaga and a part of me wants to just freak the hell out and just lose my sh*t right there and then. But another part just wants to say a massive "THANK YOU!!". Thanks for being the soundtrack to my teenage years. Thanks for making them so exciting with your cryptic tweets and messages. Thanks for making me accept things about myself which I didn't really want to at first. Thanks for always being original and just simply not giving a f**k what people think. That's really what I take away from her the most, just not caring about other peoples opinions and, to be completely honest, this is something which I still struggle with day to day, but thanks to her it really is getting better and much like my s-xuality, someday this will just be another thing that I overcame!

Pop, jazz, rock. She can do it all and always does it amazingly and no matter what I will always buy the album and support what she puts out. I can't help but love everything she does! I don't even need to think twice about it. She is and will always be number one for me and now thats just something I can't help!! 

Anyway, it would be great to see Gaga and Tony live together in London. Her voice on this tour sounds just...[insert several sentences to explain how perfect her voice sounds]. 

I hope you like my drawings!

(My deviantArt is also hightopnikes so feel free to message me on there for proof that they are mine xD)

 

Peace out,

Michael :)

I remember first hearing about Gaga through Just Dance. The music video came on the tv and remember really enjoying it. Then i was in Morrisons shopping with my grandma and begged her to buy me The Fame because i saw it on the shelf, she eventually gave in. I loved listening to it in the car with my family, and they loved it too.

Ever since then i have been a huge fan, trying to see her as much as i can, travelling hours on end to try and meet her and staying awake and camping over night for her shows. My whole family and friends know how much of a huge Gaga fan i am, and they say they wouldn't want me to change for the world.

i have been so lucky to be able to go to 6 of her shows, and i enjoyed every single one of them. I had the time of my life. It really is a magical experience seeing her in the flesh! I have loved watching Gaga evolve in her career since 2008, and her music really brings me joy. I bought Born This Way on the day of release, and replaying it in my room on full blast! My favourite album is definitely Born This Way, as it has helped me through a lot of troubles and bad things that happened in my life back then whilst i was in school. But listening to that album helped me to be the confident and happy guy that i am now! 

I was lucky enough to go to 4 artRaves. I saved for months and months, and finally bought the tickets. I remember planning for months with my friends Nathan and Vikie what we were going to do and where to go and everything. I was so happy going to the shows and making new friends, friends that ill never forget. This fan base is so lucky to have some really genuine people in it. They made me feel so welcome to join them and everything. I know Gaga would be proud of them all.

I didn't get the chance to get the tickets for the show, so winning them would be absolutely amazing! I would be ecstatic if i could be able to see Tony and Gaga live, and hear their amazing vocals live! 

[Minaj 607]

Wow! Seeing lots of the experiences in this thread made me really happy, it's so amazing that Gaga has helped so many people on this forum and everywhere else 

 

Anyway, here's my Gaga story:

I first heard Just Dance on the radio, and I was actually just 9 years old when it came out. I liked it, but thought nothing much of her, after all I was just a kid. She was just another girl with a fun song for me to dance to at the time. I then heard Poker Face, and saw the music video. I started finding out more about her, and I bought The Fame. I loved the album, and I sang along to every word, even if I didn't know what they all meant haha (I asked my parents about what a disco stick is, and they just brushed it off lol   )

 

Then, The Fame Monster came and I loved it, that was the era that I became a true fan, as I got older, I began to realise what it all actually meant, and I understood all of the references and felt so embarrassed that I was singing along to it all! Born This Way was a huge part of my life, and it helped myself accept me for who I was, I suppose. I bought tickets to The Born This Way Ball in London, and I went with my mum. We had the very back row seats, and

even though she was so small, she was amazing and we both had an amazing time.

 

Because of my age, I feel the ARTPOP era was the first era I could fully immerse myself in, I attend the artRAVE twice and saved up for a Little Monster Zone Early Entry package. It was incredible, and the best night of my life. I went again one month later, this time seated, and it was amazing, just as good. I was planning on going to the Cheek to Cheek Tour, however I have exams around this period. I realise now though, I do not have an exam that day, or the day after the concert. Therefore I feel it will be a great night to finally have off studying. 

 

I came out to my family as gay in 2013, and Gaga was a big reason I had the courage to do that. Luckily, my family were super supportive and accepted me the way I accept myself, my amazing friends did too. ARTPOP was one of the main things getting me through 2013, which at points, was a tough year. I also love Cheek to Cheek, and my mum listens to it all the time, so she would be delighted to go with me. Also, going to The Royal Albert Hall is on her bucket list, so it would be great to experience that with her, and I would love to take her there as a thank you for being an amazing, supportive parent she has been to me. It is in fact her birthday tomorrow, May 28, so this would be an amazing present for her!

 

My favourite Gaga songs are Venus, Heavy Metal Lover, Paparazzi, Monster and Applause. However my favourite video is G.U.Y. , the emotions I had during that video was amazing. 

 

I feel I should win the competition because I have been a dedicated member of the Community Committee (I know I haven't been so active recently, that will change after exams), I am in the middle of tough exams and I am desperate for one night off, and I just think it will be an amazing experience to see her again, who knows when I will next have the chance to see her. There are so many amazing entries here though, so I'm sure whoever wins will be very deserving.

 

Thanks!

This could get quite long... 

 

My journey with Gaga (and what feels like the real beginning of my life) started in 2008, which was a time where I had begun discovering myself and my s-xuality. Before Gaga, my life was sweet and boring, but as soon as she opened my eyes to the world of Pop culture and kindness- my life has never been the same again. Like Gaga, I went through school in constant torment, and also like Gaga, and took to the stage with my piano to make a place for myself in this world.

My first experiences of Gaga were online. Living on my own from the age of 12 meant that I needed somebody to look to for support and for morals to follow in life, Gaga was this person for me. After hearing her songs on the radio, I looked "Lady Gaga" up on Youtube. Watching her perform live for the first time gave me a feeling that I only ever feel when I see her live, she gave me purpose. Because of Gaga, I knew that I wanted to perform and follow and support her through her amazing, inspiring life.

~Seriously, I'm obsessed~

In 2008 through to 2012, most of my friends were made through twitter, ladygaga.com and gagadaily! At school nobody understood my passion for this woman and her morals, instead they saw her as a commercial mannequin for "freaks" and "fags". Online there were people in this fanbase that kept me going strong through some of the hardest times of my teenage years (which I would never want to re-live again, teenagers got it haaard! ). My first experiences of love were made through Gaga. Not only do I love her, but I met people that I genuinely love and will cherish forever, just by being her fan.

Now onto the concerts.... My first experience of a Gaga concert was in February 2009, when I travelled to Manchester with my friend to meet fans in the queue for the first Monster Ball- but I didn't have a ticket due to financial problems at the time (also I was only 12 and I had no over 14 to accompany me ). I remember walking away from that arena knowing that the woman that changed my life was only a few hundred metres away, yet I couldn't see her. It broke my heart. From that day, I made a promise to myself that I would strive to achieve things in life if only it meant that I could go and praise and adore this great woman. My first REAL experience of a Gaga concert was in Nottingham, May 2009. I remember begging for a ticket for my 13th birthday, and I remember screaming my house down with joy when my mum gave me the tickets- I don't think I've ever been so happy! I haven't missed a tour since, going to the Monster Ball 5 times, the Born This Way ball twice and the ARTPOP ball. I worked hard to follow Gaga, and I'd like to think that I was kind to people along the way. One instance of this was in 2010, I received three tickets to the Monster Ball in London for Christmas, however I only needed one! I posted a thread on ladygaga.com asking if anyone would like to come with me, and within hours I had given these tickets away to two lovely people who were so grateful! I'd like to think that other fans would do that for others too, because we all know what it's like to need some inspiration and then not be able to go to a Gaga concert.... It's depressing! This kindness was returned to me in 2011, when Gaga was doing promo for Born This Way in the UK. I was online at 9pm just chatting to monsters on twitter, when I see somebody say they have a spare ticket for Gaga the next day! I booked a train, and at 4am the following day I got on a train to the other side of the country and saw Gaga on Alan Carr (which has to be one of the best days of my life, thankyou so much!). Not getting to see Gaga at the iTunes festival was heartbreaking, knowing loads of friends went without me, but seeing her at the ARTPOP ball with my best friend was still incredible. 

My experiences of meeting Gaga are few and far between. Being from the countryside up north there was never much chance to meet her, however I have travelled to London a few times to "stalk" her hotel, one time I was actually successful (after waiting for 17 hours in the rain) and I got to see a gorgeous Gaga step out and give us all cookies and flowers! Such a magical experience, something my 14 year old self back home could only have dreamed of. 

Gaga gave me hope for a good life! So I took the chance and went to get one. I moved to London to study Pop Music and I hope to follow in her footsteps, if only it be in the kindness and bravery that she emits! I love performing Gaga's songs, and it is something that has always inspired me. One more absolutely incredible experience Gaga brought to me was an ARTPOP gig in manchester, where I went and performed covers of Gaga's songs at a swanky bar in return for champagne and an absolutely amazing night! 

To see Gaga sing jazz live would be an even more incredible experience. As I'm training to be a singer myself I really appreciate all of the hard work that Gaga puts into her vocals, it is truly quite incredible. She is professional, as is Tony, it's just a shame I couldn't afford tickets myself .

 

I hope you will read my story and understand how much I love Gaga, and how much I love people that love her too. I'd even be willing to give one of the tickets I win to another fan that wants to come with! 

Stay brave ?✌️

Also, feel free to listen to my songs! ?

 

[spellnight 2]

I never try this things, maybe because I always think I could never win. Lady gaga kept me from falling so many times and I'm so glad I found myself in her. I was bullied because I was "different" and I got saved from her, I moved to London and she helped me follow my dreams, 2 years and a half ago I found love, something I was always looking for, with ARTPOP she help me go through lots of stuff. I followed her around Italy and UK each tours she did. I was at the artrave in London and I was so close I could touch the sky. The only reason why I'm writing this today is because my pattern got diagnosed with a disease. My world is falling apart while I'm writing, I can't keep tears falling from my eyes and the only things I'm thinking are: "why love have to hurt like that? What's my future will be? How can I protect something I love when there is nothing to do? I feel dying inside but I'm trying to be strong for him when I feel that every parts of me are breaking" I wish to see Gaga hoping she can take some light back into my life.

I wanna ask him to marry me on the stage but I need someone's help to make Gaga notice this ;(

[Elly Wilson 4]

In 2009 I bought the Fame, not realising the fan base I would soon be part of. As a musician myself I soon found so much in common with Gaga, we both play piano, both taught classically, both sing, both write songs, we were both bullied, both bis-xual and both feel so passionatley about equality in all forms. The list goes on, honestly there are so many similarities between us I felt like I'd finally found a friend and someone to look up to.

I've always struggled with mental health and accepting my s-xuality - I have BPD and although I'm still on my way to recovering from it - I can now say I HAD depression and I can also proudly say that Lady Gaga's music and the fan base she created have been a massive part of that recovery. 

The Fame and The Fame Monster lit the spark of my fandom, I was only 12 when I first heard Just dance and around a year later I got twitter and was introduced to the amazing world of Little Monsters! I made so many friends, some I'm really close to and have helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life. When Born this way was released I felt overwhelmed by how much I loved every song on the album! (Yoü and I is my favourite!) I decided straight away that I would be going to this tour and bought myself a ticket to the Born This way Ball in London. I queued all day and made some great friends in the queue too and met several twitter friends! The Born this Way Ball was one of the best days of my life. Little Monsters are always there for you and always welcome you in.

ARTPOP amazed me again I love every song on the album (Gypsy is my favourite) and I decided to go to the ArtRAVE alone as none of my friends wanted to. I honestly think ARTPOP is underrated!! I went twice to the ArtRAVE and met Gaga's Parents Cynthia and Joe AND Gaga threw me a Rose (which I still have!!!) The show was incredible - she never fails to amaze me.

THEN. Gaga announces she's going to do an album with another idol of mine - Tony Bennett!! Now I'm a musician, I LOVE jazz, I play jazz and I write jazz. And when Gaga and Jazz combined I almost EXPLODED. Cheek to Cheek is absolutely flawless and rekindled my motivation in my career after my 2 year relationship ended, I was s-xually assaulted and I was in a really bad place. It's hard to explain how music can get you through the toughest times but it really does. So, I'm now living in London which has always been my dream, I'm studying my songwriting degree at one of the top contemporary Music universities in the world (Marina and the Diamonds, James Bay, Tom Odell, George Ezra went there a long with many famous session musicians and producers) I'm launching as an artist and releasing my own music. And I can Thank Lady Gaga for all of that. If it wasn't for her, her inspiration, her bravery, her hard work, her music, her constant love and care for us and for exactly that - US. the fans, little monsters. My Best friends. I don't know where I'd be without it all and if I'd even be here at all. 

I'm sorry for the long read but you all really do mean that much to me, I thank you all for getting me to where I am now. I also hope that one day soon you will hear my music and I hope one day I can inspire and help people even half as much as Gaga has.

[niall_carr 19]

First and foremost I must say that this is a wonderful thing you're doing. I, like many others was unable to get tickets, so it's incredibly generous of you to do this!

I dont really have an inspirational story, of how Gaga helped me overcome certain problems, or changed my life.

She has however made my life significantly more entertaining.

I believe shes one of the most talented musicians I have ever known, and I'd be in heaven, watching her and Tony live!

My Nana had always been a huge lover of Mr. Bennett, so hearing him sing always gives me a warm sense of joy, and takes me straight back to my childhood, with memories of her. I would love to have been able to take her with me, if I won the tickets.

And what more can I say about Gaga, that isn't already painfully obvious?

She's a total and utter star. She is a beautiful human being. And I'm my happiest when listening to her sing.

It would be the greatest of pleasures to win these tickets, and witness these two legends singing for what would likely end up being the greatest evening of my life.

 

 

[hausofaxel 16]

When I first heard 'Just Dance' in 2008, I never thought that Gaga would seven years later have made the big impact on my life as she truly has. I was way back into the closet, and I had a distant dream about a career as a singer. Today I am out and proud, and in September last year I reached my life's biggest milestone yet when moving from Sweden to London to begin a degree in Popular Music Performance.

By repeatedly and in many different ways telling us fans that we are superstars and that with hard work, our wildest dreams can come true, Gaga has blessed me with absolute conviction that I can – and will – one day sing on a stage just as big as hers. My move from Sweden to the UK was a big and very scary thing for me to do, but witnessing her bravery and passion has made me so confident that not following my dream is no longer an option.

And as to me coming out, I'm most certain that I wouldn't have done it for a very long time if it wasn't for Gaga. She is a big reason why finally can honestly and confidently say that I truly love myself.

Winning the tickets would be the perfect opportunity for not only get to see Tony and Gaga here in my new hometown, but also to take my friend and jazz lover Dorothy who I'm 100% sure would be absolutely mesmerised by their incredible talent.

Cheers!

[ARTPOPkurd 3]

Where do I begin.

I can remember the first time I heard Just Dance, I had came home from school and my cousin walked in and said 'Have you heard this new song? Its by a new artist called Lady Gaga' so she played it and I instantly fell in LOVE. Then came along Poker Face, and I can remember walking to the park and a girl was playing it on her phone. I instantly ran to her, and asked if she would send me the song. As she was sending the song, my sister called me over to see her when she pushed me into the lake for a joke. I instantly got out, dripping wet, calmly walked over to the girl, thanked her and walked home listening to the song on repeat the whole way.

Once The Fame era had finished and she brought The Fame Monster, I was completely and utterly obsessed with her and had the album on 24/7 (In actual fact, I am being brutally honest right now, my mother threw me out of the house regularly for playing her too often lol). 

When it came to Born This Way, I saw Gaga in a completely different light. She made me realise that not only is she extremely talented and beautiful, she understands me, its like she knew me and she was trying to talk to me through song.

When I was a child, I was s-xually abused by father. Resulting in severe anxiety towards men, and years of therapy. It was a very difficult time for me in early 2011, because I outed him, and the whole of my dads side of the family disowned me, and claimed I was a liar. I was so confused, because I knew that I was gay, but when you have anxiety toward men, it its a very difficult thing to try and understand and overcome. This left me questioning everything about myself, wondering if there was any point in living because I couldn't be gay because I'm scared of men. Constantly asking myself 'Your going to live alone forever. Your going have nobody.' Born This Way helped me look into myself, and made me realise, yes. I am different, but that's OK. I felt like I had a connection with Gaga. Not only that, but it seemed she had perfect timing to help me deal with difficult situations. 2 days before The Edge of Glory's release, my Granddad unfortunately passed away. I was absolutely gutted, the grief was unbearable. I didn't know what to do with myself. Then, I was in my room one day, and straight after Judas (another relatable song in terms of my father) Radio 1 announced they would be playing a 'New Song' from Gaga. And when I heard it, I burst into tears, because I knew what the song was about from reading tweets. It became my new favourite, also my grandmothers who had it played at my grandfathers wake. To this day this is her favourite Gaga song, and is even having it played at her funeral. Anyway a little off topic, I felt like she knew what I was going through. She helped me. She guided me. It seemed like every thing she did, was for me. Although that might sound selfish, it just felt like it.

When it came to ARTPOP, I felt like a stalker, watching her every move. Waiting for new music. and BAM! It leaked. I WAS SO HAPPY! It was EVERYTHING I was hoping for! My music! I woke up at 3am in the morning to watch the artRAVE for ARTPOP's launch, with college the next day. I just loved the album so much!

When she announced tour dates for artRAVE I panicked! HOW AM I GOING TO AFFORD THIS? I felt like I had a breakdown. Anyway my grandmother was so kind enough to buy me a LMZ early entry package for the Manchester show.

The morning of the show, I was intensely anxious. I didn't even want to go, because I was going alone. After my grandmother convinced me to go, I got in the car and set off. I decided to wear 10 inch patent white platforms and and a pig onesie for the show. Not good when you park 20 minutes away from the arena, trust me. Anyway, once I arrived at the arena, I found the queue and sat in it. Where I met 3 lovely girls who took my under their wing to help me out. 'Little Monster bonding!' they said. When I was sat in the queue, I was looking around at all the beautiful costumes and makeup, and saw a boy who was sat and the end of the queue wearing seashell jeans, and sequined platform shoes. 'Look at his jeans! How amazing are they!' I said to one of the girls, I knew he heard because he was smiling to himself. A few hours passed and it was time for the show! I had the BEST night I could ever of imagined. It was SPECTACULAR. I was so close to her, I cried for most of the show. 

Once the show had finished, I was on such a buzz! I was scrolling through Instagram and looking at all the amazing photo's and videos that people had taken. When I was scrolling, the boy who I had seen in the queue popped up. I liked his photo, and left him a comment saying 'You looked amazing!'. Some hours had passed, and I was on my facebook looking at my suggested friends when he popped up. I was like woah! Add!! So I added him as a friend, and we got talking. As it turned out, he lived 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD! We met up, and started to bond. After around 3 weeks, we decided to see how we would get on as a couple and thought we would attend artRAVE Newcastle together, to relive the experience, but with each other. On the night of the show it was even more amazing than the first time. We was even closer, and we had each other. The most distinctive part of the night, was when Gaga was singing You & I, and he held my hand and kissed me. It was so magical, I honestly cried.

7 months have passed since our first meeting, and we are still together. I love him so much. 

And Gaga is the reason that I met him. If I didn't go to that show, we perhaps would of never known either of us existed. It feels like, after the show she left me a little gift to remember that night by. Its just so magical.

I'm sorry that its a little bit all over the place and unstructured, but it is so difficult to put into words how much this woman means to me. She is my whole life.

[Jackcurley 5]

I will admit that I am new to registering to Gaga Daily. I am totally aware of it and have liked your fan page on Facebook for ages. 

I saw the post about winning tickets to the London show and my heart dropped!

i cannot begin to express my love for LG. I have been such a fan since the The Fame. 

I I have been to BTW and ARTPOP tours, both which were amazing. I left the show feeling ecstatic, liberated and happy. 

my BIRTHDAY actually falls on 9th of June coincidentally so I really have my fingers crossed I could be in the chance of winning. I would forever be in GagaDailys debt. 

 

I I simply love LG because just listening, watching or just thinking about her makes you feel instantly happy. I have learnt so much from her and it's such a strange feeling that you don't know somebody but at the same time you feel so much about them. She makes her fans feel so confident in themselves and even if nobody believes in them... As quoted from the tour... You can leave tonight knowing at least one person believes in you. 

 

I I would genuinely be so happy if I won, I would want to party with anybody from GagaDaily that would be going as a thankyou of course!!

i understand I have a low activity account and have only just joined so good luck to whoever the winner is.. I will be entirely jealous. 

 

Thanks guys.

Good luck everyone! I was an emotional mess reading through some of your entries

[Gaga.For.Gaga 92]

Gosh I literally don’t know where to start this is going to be a splurge of thoughts and feeling whilst I listen to Gaga.

As cheesy as my username is which I made aged 14 over 6 years ago now I have quite literally been Gaga for Gaga in all aspects of my life. I love her for her music, talent, voice, creativity and personality championing the individual and encouraging you to be you no matter what and to pursue your dreams even in the face of adversity.

I first discovered Gaga in the October of 2008 around the time the poker face music video came out and I was hooked having never really been into the music of an emerging artists I couldn’t understand why her album wasn’t out in the UK and had to wait till January. So instead I would just listen to her tracks on Youtube if I remember right the first five songs from her I heard were Just dance, pokerface, Brown eyes, Vanity and Rockshow. Thinking about it now I associate her songs and Gaga herself with some many memories some happy some sad and some literally just random I thought I would just talk about a few. In an attempt to give this some order I have grouped memories/thoughts/feelings roughly into eras

The Fame ~

Gaga: I started piano lessons for two years after teaching myself paparazzi on the piano as I wanted to learn how to play more of her songs it was a great way to escape a stressful time at school when I was being bullied both physically and emotionally leaving to have go to confidence classes for a few years after and literally crying  every day when I got home from school at the time. I’m not quite sure I have ever really recovered from it 100% I still struggle to make male friends  having trust issues with them not wanting to get too close to avoid them being able to use things to hurt me in the future but Gaga really started the healing process

Just Dance: Me and a group of friends performed this as part of our end year concert in our music class

EhEh: Makes me think of summer days and enjoying being free from school

LoveGame: When Bluetooth on phones and sending songs to your friends via it was still a thing a lot of my friends were casual Gaga fans but had LoveGame listed as “Love Games” on there phones and I used to get so frustrated with them about it because it wasn’t the title.

The Fame Monster ~

The Monster Ball: The last 5 years have been a bit crappy family stuff having lost all four of my grandparents over the time. My Grandma was first we had to say goodbye too and night of the monster ball in Sheffield was the day we brought her home from hospital for the last time after her terminal cancer diagnosis. I was feeling so low when we arrived that night but Gaga lifted my spirts in the show and after focused on good enjoying the time left not wasting time feeling down.

Bad Romance: When the demo leaked I was actually on a trip to a Holocaust museum and the song as always reminds me of that day and a really heartening experience

Reloaded: This song leaked the day I want too see Avatar the film so always think of the movie when I listen to the song.

Alejandro: “ My Religion is You Little Monsters”  - aside from the epicenes of Alejandro live I made a magazine for me GCSE media coursework and Alejandro music video was the feature article for it although the music video didn’t exist yet and I made my sister dress as Gaga with some Homemade Fame Crystal glasses for the magazines photoshoot.

Born This Way ~

Album Cover:  This was released whilst I was line at record store day to get the vinyl for born this way for my collection

Edge of Glory: It one of my favourite songs and really helped with the loss of both my Grandfathers and sharing the meaning with Gaga

Born This Way Ball: Inline from 7am, The Pit, missing college such an amazing day I have never felt so alive

Hair: Happiness, freedom, dancing in the kitchen with my mum

PhotoShop: Is a skill a never would have had with Gaga through numerous graphic design contests between fans I have really being able to improve my skills a lot. I have now being able to use it in University work and other aspects of life like creating cards from friends and family gaga has contributed so much to my wider life.

ARTPOP ~

University/Venus/Do What You Want: I started University in September 2013 and it was chance for a fresh start and make new friends. I enjoyed exposing Gagas talent to my new friends and being 100% myself. Watching the X factor performance is something I would have never imagined doing with friends before and they loved it and are now monsters  

Dope: A still somewhat naive me realise dope didn't just mean cool

Check to Check ~

Signed CD: After 6 years I finally own a signed Gaga CD which is my prized part of my collection and so glad check to check was the album making her music transgenerational appealing to all ages and seeing the real artists behind the “gimmicks”.

Gaga: A lot of my friend that knew I loved gaga actually for the first commented that she sounded great and that hadn’t really appeircated her voice Celebrating her voice

Gaga Daily ~

Although not Era for Gag,  it is and continues to be an era of my life, being a fan is more than the music it much broader you are not alone but part of a community and it also a  lifestyle. I have made some truly great friends on the site and never experienced the kindness of strangers in the same way before. I’m truly grateful to be part of this website and long my the monster community thrive.

There is so much more I could say and I have been trying to write this for the last 3 hoyrs but this already really messy and time is running out so I will stop here.

I can’t imagine not having Gaga in my life I and have actually really enjoyed being able to write this and take the time to reflect for this super awesome competition. My current finical situation meant this was the first tour I was going to have to miss (besides the fame ball where my mum said I was too young) but you love the opportunity to go and hear Check to Check live in its full glory.

Thanks for taking the time to read my entry and considering me.
