RenegAde 19,137 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 As Lady Gaga wins the history-making MTV VMAs Tricon award — honouring her career as a singer/songwriter, actor, activist and fashion icon — we look back at the roles that transformed Billboard chart-toppers into box-office hitmakers, from Janelle Monáe’s debut in Moonlight to Mariah Carey’s understated performance in Precious. As Lady Gaga wins the history-making MTV VMAs Tricon award — honouring her career as a singer/songwriter, actor, activist and fashion icon — we look back at the roles that transformed Billboard chart-toppers into box-office hitmakers, from Janelle Monáe’s debut in Moonlight to Mariah Carey’s understated performance in Precious. 1. Janelle Monáe – Moonlight(2016) 2. Selena Gomez – Spring Breakers (2012) 3. Jennifer Lopez – Out of Sight (1998) 4. Mariah Carey – Precious(2009) 5. Madonna – Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) 6. Lady Gaga – A Star is Born(2018) When Bella Hadid handed Lady Gaga her Tricon award at the MTV VMAs 2020, she said, “You can’t just call her a triple threat,” and she was right. Gaga has more than a trifecta of talents in her locker. As well as being one of the biggest-selling recording artists of her generation, the fashion icon, songwriter, pianist and LGBTQ+ advocate received an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Ally in her film acting debut in Bradley Cooper’s version of A Star is Born. Stripped of makeup and meat dresses, a new version of Gaga was exposed and the performance she delivered was honest, real and relatable. An acting career as successful as her recording one is certainly on the cards. ASIB will never stop giving huh. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vogue.fr/fashion-culture/article/from-lady-gaga-to-mariah-carey-6-scene-stealing-movie-performances-by-superstar-musicians%3famp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlaeUrAnus 15,958 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Mariah, I thought, was great in Precious. Yes she only had limited screen time, but her acting was superb when she was on screen. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born This Way 1,789 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 So the list was a count up and not a countdown I'm assuming. Like, 1 was lowest and 6 was highest. And I totally agree. Run run with her top down baby she flies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also did great in The Butler, where she played a sharecropper. It's a smaller role though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
