Concertaholic 5,613 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Perhaps a bit random but I was thinking about how much we forget about Michael’s influence on Gaga. I usually think of Bowie or even Madonna but for some reason I feel like we don’t hold Michael in the same regard even though she has literally spent millions on his clothing, over 400 pieces to be exact (and yet we get labeled as delulus ) I did some research and unbeknownst to me Gaga was in talks to open for Michael on his This Is It residency at the O2 before his death. So this brings me to my question, do any of you know if Gaga ever got to meet or even speak to Michael before his death? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I don't think so... he talked highly of her and wanted to collab with her, but I don't think they actually met End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter 14 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 No. The moment they were suppose to meet, he passed away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born in Chromatica 7 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Unfortunately, I don't think they did. I know Michael was impressed by the talent of Lady Gaga, and I am sure he wanted to collab with her, but I think he passed away before they met FaShIoN iS mY pAsSiOn!

Jose P 23,341 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Well Gaga rose to fame not long before he died, so unfortunately I don’t think they ever got to meet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfMark 4,269 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Wasnt Gaga going to be one of the openers for his London Residency before he died? -Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho 3,694 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Just watched a bunch of interviews, the closest she gets to mentioning contact is "there was talks about doing .." and "I'm such a huge fan, I love him so much like I knew him but I didn't". I don't believe so as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 37,519 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I really wish they'd have met, I think he'd have loved her so much and developed a close relationship with her even stronger than the one she has with Elton and Tony Bennett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaaaasGaga 6,119 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 She was meant to be the opening act for what was meant to be his final world tour comeback for his shows at the O2 Arena in London but he died before it happened so I don't think they ever actually got to meet. EDIT: Here's a video with the interview in it where she talks about how she was meant to open for him on the This Is It tour.

malazam 15,710 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'd say maybe... RedOne was his producer at the time so if they didn't, they were about to meet eventually. MJ liked her and he was one of Gaga's idols. Some forums even say they recorded a song or were about to record a song called Pictures and Gaga was set to open the This Is It Tour. another shot before we kiss the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans wish she would've done different things in her career and fair enough, but if had the power to change things I wouldn't touch anything because who knows, maybe one small change might accidentally ruin her chance at the Superbowl or something haha Do you feel him sir?
