Lady Gaga - book review by Ataahua Smith

This book is about Lady Gaga's life and how she became famous and started singing.  Gaga learnt to play the piano at the age of 4 and the inspiration for her name came from the Queen song “Radio Gaga”.  She then went on to become and international pop star.

Lady Gaga started to sing pop music as it was her favourite style to sing.  Then she started to sing in front of crowds and she also got loads of gigs to play at.  Her most famous song is Poker Face.  She has also written loads of other hit songs.

She's a girl with really weird tastes in fashion and at one of her concerts she is performs in a bubble dress as she sings Poker Face.

I LIKED THIS BOOK.
