Who is Lady Gaga's influence?

9/11/2009 11:34:00 AM, CelebrityFIX Prev Next

Now we know who to blame for Lady GaGa: the pop tart told MTV host Alexa Chung that David Bowie is a major influence on her, um, unusual image.

"I used to sit in my apartment for hours and do his make-up on myself over and over again," GaGa revealed.

This revelation shouldn't surprise anyone who's familiar with Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" years, when he gallivanted around in strange costumes and bizarre hairstyles saying weird and unusual things — much like Lady GaGa.

Let's have a look at some of the myriad ways Ziggy has inspired the Lady:

Eeeewwwww its a desperate cry for help.Yep that is a toilet brush she's holding and is it a broken pice of mirror infront of her outfit and Davis B is a Weirdo anyway.Give me Rubber Lips anytime,Mick J.

idk if its me or their outfits look nothing alike?

Your music is excellent and you have taken fashion to another level.Cant wait for you to release a DVD.Keep up the good work.Wished I could have gone to your concert.Take care and all the best.Regards Terry.

Oh yeah... lady G copied some of David bowies songs cuz david has dis song called just dance and lady G also did it... btw i never really liked lady G cuz when her first song came out i had this creepy feelin bout her... yknow ... bout da man bit...

Really Lady Gaga don't lose anymore weight. You were fine before Video Phone. (Beyonce feat. Lady Gaga - Video Phone)

Lol, luv ya Sophia, good spotting. Fashion! Turn to the left, fashion turn to the right oooh fashion. We are the *** squad and we're coming to town beep beep. i wish you hadn't put her next to Bowie, she doesn't come off as avant garde, artistic next to his theatrical mightiness. I think she's a woman who takes risks and is actually having a good laugh at the rest of us for taking her whack sense so seriously. Kylie, madonna, britney, rhianna, all these ladies have one thing in common. Flashing their ladybits because sex does sell, it's no fashion makeover they undertake. Lady Gaga is different again to that, she deliberately dresses NOT to turn men on, by alluding to s and m or kinky sex. That's clever and shows a great sense of self and humour. But borrowing form Bowie, nah, his costumes and make up allude to artists whose work he admired. Very intellectual and you get the whole package, the general masses don't get that these days, they're just out of kindergarten lol.

is Lady gaga holding a toilet brush in the last photo? lol

When I signed into msn it came up with the 'today' thing as usual.. but the headline says "Who's fashion is Lady Gaga's influenced by?" It should say "Whose fashion..." Not "Who's fashion..." .. Just pointing that out. Sophia.
