13．
Though she is already one of the most famous pop stars of the 21st century，you've probably never heard of a 25-year-old singer-songwriter called Stefani Germanotta-but that's only because almost everyone knows her by her stage name．Lady Gaga．
Bom in New York City in 1986，Lady Gaga enjoyed music，singing and
dancing from an early age：she started playing the piano when only four years
old and loved performing in musicals at high school．At 17she went to a special
school for the arts but later left because she wanted to become a professional
singer as soon as possible．
She became a global star with her first album The Fame in 2008and followed it in 2009with The Fame Monster．Earlier this year she released a single，"Bom this Way"，which broke the record for quickest sales for a piece of music on iTunes，with one million downloads in only five days．Her third album，also called Born this Way，went on sale in May，2011．
Because of how much money she earns，how much she is written and talked about in the media，and how many internet searches are made with her name，F(xiàn)orbes magazine recently put her at number one in its list of the"world's most powerful celebrities"．
Most music critics say that what makes Lady Gaga's music outstanding are her strong voice and also the strong electronic rhythm of most of her songs，which makes them popular in nightclubs．They also say her music often sounds a bit like the work of other artists，and she herself is quite open about the fact that goroups such as Queenand female singers such as Madonna have been a big influence on her．
More original than her music，perhaps，is the way she looks A big part of her image is her outlandish clothes，with her strangest piece of clothing probably having been a dress mande partly out of maet，which she wore once in 2010．
Part of what has made Lady Gaga so famous so quickly is the way she has used social media．She has over 30million Facebook friends，for example，and almost 10milion followers on Twitter．
