Success is the Best Revenge For Lady Gaga

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 26th 2010 07:37AM

They always say success is the best revenge, and revenge is sweet for Lady Gaga. The 'Bad Romance' singer appears on the cover of the new Cosmopolitan, and Gaga admits that one pleasant aspect of her impressive rise to fame is proving wrong an ex who never thought she'd make it.

"I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song and that he hoped I'd fail," she tells Cosmo (via Huffington Post).

"I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***ing deli without hearing or seeing me.'"

Gaga's debut album 'The Fame' earned a total of six Grammy Award nominations -- and won the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album. Unlike her ex, the singer always had faith she'd succeed. "I ate sh** for so long, being told I didn't fit the mold and that I was 'too pop' or 'too theater,'" she tells the magazine. "I've always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don't understand me."

It's a life she was made for, she says, adding, "My friends joke that I'm dead until I get onstage. I'm dead right now as you're speaking to me."

Being a male from the good old days, I've been around. Big Deal, right ?When we'd get off ship to stretch our legs while crusing over the world, we was taught by our Captain a few things. They are that things are never as they seem. I've never seen this so called Lady as never been seen from behind as she ? She probobly as a big. truck drivers backside mate. A man's rear end, get it ?

To Igor:....No, I don't "get it"...now be a good boy and take your meds!

By lms

Igor--is there a point here? Not sure what matters about the size of her back side vs the strength of her voice. Case in point Kelly Clarkson, Aretha, Mary J Blige, Queen Lativa, just to name a few in no particular order

By Willow

Um yeah Igor, it was tough to "get it" since you can't speak or spell correctly. Try English next time, you know the language of our country!

My guess is if she stuck her 'big ole truck drivers backseat mate' (HUH????????)in your face...you wouldn't think thta way!

By Nick

Hey Igor,

Why do you know so much about men's backsides? What went on...on your ship?

By jackskid

I yain't sayin shes not a classy lady, ooh no, she's a fine little one she is, but if you go near her , you best carry your pocket bible with you mate,something ain't , shall we say, right wid her. Look at er legs, son, see those strong thighs , like she could skip up the riggin wid those before you could say jack sparrow, and she's NEVER shown from the back is she ? Some things the doctors can't hide, and that's a truckdrivers backside and that adams apple . Its a lot of money and pain to get rid of that, a kings ransom. Be carefull getting too excited over her, oh unless thats what your on the prowl for.

Lady Ga Ga is one great entertainer. Her costumes are a over the top, however she has a great design element to them. Her whole performance is thought out from start to finish. I was quite impressed on how generous she is, all her proceeds from her Madiosn Sq Garden perfomance will be donated to Haiti. I heard her chat with Oprah and found her very inspiring and I am in my late 50's. Love her music, turn up the volume when I am in my car!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Gaga has talent. Unlike Beyonce, Rihanna and every hip hop female/male rapper. These people can't sing live ...meaning that they cannot sing! They are just marketing products(like Madonna who can't sing live either). Hip hop/rap isnt even music. Lets not even talk about Taylor Swift who's voice is sooooooo weak live! Lady Gaga stands out of the crowd and deserves everything she gets.

By Pain In The Ass

I think she is getting revenge on the entire human race with her disgusting appearance and awful noise she call music.

Hey "Pain in the Ass"...you truly are.

By katzeye

She seems to be the new Madonna on the block.

Im no longer a young man, alas , time has delt me cruely, left me wid one bad leg, no money, hardly money enough for a pint with me friends, old, sitting by the tiny fire, staring at the embers, thinkin about what little future I have left, but am I suppose to perk up and say this "lady" has suddenly brighted up my outlook on life ? when I see this so called Lady in broad daylight , well thats when she''be my soulmate, assfor you old fools making her yor queen, be carefull for what you wish for , yor eyes arnt so good after sqintin at those doctored up pics of her . Shes got a backside like Palidins horse, remember that you old fools ?

Um Jack? Get off the meds and quit with the stupid pirate fantasy. A) this is the real world, B) you're NOT a pirate, and C) Lady GaGa is indeed a woman if you would bother to do some RESEARCH about her.

Maybe you need to quit swiggin the pirate juice and get a real life.

Is it me or does the picture on Cosmopolitan sorta look like
Debbie Harry?

By Doggie Daddy

Yeah, if Debbie Harry was made up like Madonna!

By ratari

Some people just can't stand the success of others. They are pitiful people who aren't successful or think they are not and it some how makes them feel better to tear others down. Losers just like to wish successful people failure.

By JW

I love her style, music, and her powerful voice. My family wishes she would perform in Charleston, SC. WE WOULD BE THERE!!!

young lads ma be on line here, sos Ill be delicate. Thers big and thers big. a man looks not like a woman. a woman with a big backside, you could set a mug of beer, or a cup of coffee an her backside while shes standing up. a man's backside is an ugly thing, a womans is more shapely. I wouldn't be so bold as to say Lady GAGA is a man, but I will say this. I wish I had her strong legs , I'l be back in the longshoremans business. hauling and brawling.
