You do realize that’s Gaga’s thing right She did the same thing with Larry King, and she took Marina’s whole look back in 2013 too. Let’s not forget how she took Mark Ronson’s voice and laid back vibe in 2016. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it only makes sense for someone striving to be constantly changing to draw lots of inspiration from the people she’s working with, but I imagine it must be weird for those people getting their whole style ripped off especially after she can clean it off so easily.

I think she also wants to be taken seriously by the people she admires, so she starts dressing and behaving like them.

Where does the time go The interview always stuck with me, and not always for good reasons. I have always loved Barbara’s interviews for their salaciousness but realize they are often problematic in 2022. They are from a bygone age, including those done by Diane Sawyer, when interviewers would demean female pop-stars (and to a certain extent male pop stars and all women in general), exploiting them in these interviews for ratings. These style of interviews are rarely done anymore now that stars can control their own narrative and marketing through social media. With Gaga, the pushy nature of the question regarding her sexuality was always so uncomfortable to witness. While her admission could have been a source of strength for her LGBT fans, it was not on her own terms, and Barbara’s aim was simply for ratings. It just goes to show you how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time. An interviewer would be ridiculed and shamed for forcing such an admission in 2022. Yeah her unkind reaction & victim blaming towards an american actor saying he was SA on set as a kid star 4 years after the Gaga interview also comes to mind. 7 hours ago, Reject False Icons said: Didn’t she put Gaga in a very uncomfortable position in her interview, idk I don’t remember news or tv people to be particularly impactful or kind or real at all Probably cause they often do everything and the ugly for ratings then we don't want to remember them much.

I agree with most of what you said, but I don't think it was just done for ratings. At the time, interviews like this were kind of set up to be kind of "hard-hitting". Pop stars knew that they were getting into something potentially serious. The interviewer's job was not to get "ratings" the same way you might think of it today...that definitely was a by-product of the interview...but from a journalistic perspective there was sort of this attitude that these interviews were meant to be taken more seriously. I think that is why Gaga was very cooperative with Barbara Walters. When broached the subject in the past Gaga was more matter-of-fact or crass in her answer. With Barbara she was much more clear about it. I think that is clearly evidenced in how at the end of the interview Barbara says she takes Gaga more seriously, AND, after that, Gaga and Barbara were very sweet to eachother when they were in interviews together after like The View.
