but she always drops hints about stuff though ... like saying she was obsessed with monsters before The Fame Monster came out, talking about being born that way before Born This Way came out. I don't think it's as one dimensional as because she has no home, she's said it too many times for it to be just that. I think she's been hinting at this role for a long time ...

this is actually true. i remember the monsters interview in Norway or something. 'im really obsessed with monsters and playgirls right now' or something. i was like 'wtf' monsters? and then...

That is so subjective. Who is a good actress? Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar but can't act her way out of a paper bag. Everyone from Bette Davis to Meryl Streep has had films where their acting chops have been seriously questioned.

I don't think it is fair to judge GaGa's acting abilities on her two music videos, when comparably you could watch half of Meryl Streep's films and think...who is this talentless ho? I mean...have you seen She-Devil?

I get the vibe that GaGa could pull off an amazing performance. She has that Viola - I will fall flat on my ass and have snot running down my face - Davis vibe about her.

Don't get me started on Jennifer Hudson winning that Oscar, I don't think she deserved it. I suppose its unfair to judge her acting ability based on her music videos you're right but since thats all we have to gauge I thought she delivered a cringe worthy performance in her Marry the Night video. But, who knows what she could do with Gypsy if given the chance. I can't see into the future. I'd rather her focus entirely on music personally.

Also, I liked Meryl Streep in She-Devil!

Marry the night was fine. Overly dramatic but fine.

Telephone was perfect. Those Tarantino style scenes have intentionally campy robotic over acted scripts.

Her acting is very musical theatre but she can easily adjust.

'Gypsy' is musical theater.

And where exactly are you on the autism spectrum?

I mean, isn't this black and white Gaga? Barbra's fashion film set to her own music with crazy dancing? I think Barbra sees what Gaga is.

Whether or not she has the acting chops is debatable, but a screen test would tell Barbra all she needed to know.

HAHA say what you will about the film itself but I thought she did the best she could with her role. Plus she was drop dead gorgeous.

I swear that Gaga has her career planned years ahead. Imagine if the Gypsy song is actually from this film? Gaga must have known about this for a long time now. I'm so excited :cry:

EDIT: By being from this film, I mean Gaga being asked to write a song for the opening or ending of the film like what often happens when musicals are remade.

But this is a movie. The acting must be more subtle as everyone is in the front row.

I know it's early days yet, but the response to the idea of Gaga being in Gypsy seems to be predominantly positive so far...

Stefani Germanotta has had standing ovations playing the role of Lady Gaga since 2007. Try again.

This would be SUCH a good idea for her. I hope she accepts.

Omg I want this to happen soooo bad

Well, I'm an actor (kind of) and I honestly have not seen enough from Gaga to judge if she can act or not. A lot will depend on the way she is being directed. And apart from maybe that one line I thought she did a great job in MTN (the voice over, car scene, apartment scene etc)

And she was AMAZING on the Simpsons
