What did you think of Gaga when she first debuted?

[RAMROD 109,475]

1. Listened on radio, thought she was POC 

2. Saw her on MTV TRL, thought she was another blonde singer

 

4. Saw her or VMA 2009, YAAAASS! I WAS WRONG! I LIVE FOR HA!

[Biggest Fan 988]

I remember being an EDM kid  and casually heard Poker Face remixes
the Richardson Remixes entertainment me back then, and I remember some friends on messenger-chat telling me how she was a man/ she had a penis 

 

which I didn’t believe or didn’t think much of it 🤨

 anyways I only knew the Remixes of The Fame at the time .. 

It was only when  I discovered  the  Bad Romance  remix and video that slayed humanity and I was hooked. 

I remember waiting the countdown of the Alejandro Music Video at the family living room kinda with the computer tilted to the side 😅 and when some sneak peaks where released I knew  I was gay.

ever since Alejandro I re/watched her past performance all which I can on YouTube the Live ones / Gagavision / and the fame era music videos to which  I was blown away 😍🤯

I was a Stan then Beyoncè came around and yaaasss Gaga !! 
I was a fan for life and was waiting for the third album

 

When it finally came out It hit me hard, because I knew she had wrote the song for us to be true to ourselves which still is kinda difficult 
 when GAGA came I knew she was a star ⭐️

I didn't follow her at all until August 2010.

i was obsessed with her immediately tbh

[KANEGAGA 444]

I remember downloading THE FAME album on a whim not even knowing who she was (let alone hearing any of her songs) and fell in love!  This was before she gained stardom with Poker Face.  I remember I didn't care for PF but was obsessed with THE FAME (the song) and BROWN EYES.  Then when she released THE FAME MONSTER it was over!  I was and have been a die hard little monster!  I live in Hawaii but made my way to the continental USA to see all her tours (minus the fame ball) live in person.  The most recent being ENIGMA back in January '19.  I wasn't lucky enough to snag tickets for the Jazz & Piano show, but will before the end of its run.

I always though she was super weird but cool at the same time but I was afraid to be open about it because everyone said she was "gay" and "insane". I was obsessed with her in secret and that's actually what drove me to GGD in 2011. After her 2009 vma performance I couldn't get enough of her and when she released the HBO special and was starting btw promo I was fully hooked in and living my best gay life by this point.

Everyone in my elementary school said gaga had both a d*ck and a vag and that she’s trans. One guy in addition to me on my class liked her (same guy also liked nicki superbass) but everyone else hated them. My sister and her friends listened to her all the time though and they sent my poker face via bluetooth it was 10mb and I had to delete my games for it.

I was hooked

[TheSlash 14,539]

Basically I was a little stan and always freaked out when she debuted anything new, being it music or a new weird look. I was like this:

Some of y'all are so young and honestly you missed out having her debut when you were old enough to really understand! (teenager/young adult) 

[Yxcvbnm 839]

I hated Poker Face and then I discovered Madonna's 80's music... Then Gaga released Alejandro. Instant love. Suddenly the little monster is me. 

[itsdominik 16,742]

For me it was love at first listen 

[brucee 1,690]

at first i wasn't a big fan of just dance and poker face, but i ended up being caught by paparazzi and the video.... The rest... That VMA moment... it was the end. 

[Schwerk 7,244]

I liked her songs and found her looks and music videos intriguing but at the time she was a too poppy for me to start stanning then and there. Thought she was another popstar like Rihanna or Katy Perry and at that time I was (besides rock music) into Amy Winehouse and Adele.

We did always play her music before going clubbing.  I realized her album wasn't called 'Disco Heaven' (I had downloaded illegally) but The Fame when I was at my BFFs house and didn't recognize some of the songs. Today the unrealased tracks on that Disco Heaven bootleg are still my favs.

I became a fan when I saw her Cherrytree session of Pokerface early 2009. I started looking for interviews etc. I realized I had evolved into a stan after her AMA performance of Bad romance / Speechless.

I listened to very deep dark music like Evanescence and other....

this. At first just dance was not enough to feed my rebel teenage aesthetic. But that leather and studs she put everywhere.... Gaga really brought the studs in the mainstream... She has that dark/rock girl thing and this is completely what got me.
