From hermaphrodite rumors to gracing the cover of Japanese Vogue wearing only a bikini made entirely of meat (photos here), Lady Gaga is often at the center of a lot of weird news items. In one of the stranger stories involving the pop star, a woman is now claiming that Gaga is possessed by the soul of her late daughter, who was also a musician.
Yana Morgana is seeking the rights to release dozens of songs her daughter, Lina, recorded with Gaga before committing suicide at the age of 19 in 2008. Mourning has been especially difficult for Morgana, as Gaga is a constant reminder of her daughter, who is said to have inspired the artist's penchant for wigs, thigh-high boots and a dark, tortured persona.
"Every other word she says is from Lina," Morgana tells the New York Post. "She talks about having a dark and tragic life, but she had everything she wanted in the world." Gaga and Lina worked together with producer Rob Fusari, who is largely responsible for Gaga's early career.
The most bewildering aspect of the alleged persona stealing is that Gaga landed on the mainstream music scene just one month after Lina's death. "It was the same style, the same look, the same music, the same voice, the same jaw line -- the way they expressed themselves," Lina's ex-boyfriend, Tyler Schwab, tells the Post about seeing the 'Just Dance' video for the first time. "And I was like, 'Is that Lina?' It was so, so shocking. It was like looking at a ghost."
And this isn't just a case of gold-digging, either. Morgana has asserted she has no plans to take this to court, but merely wants the music released and, in turn, for Gaga to let go of Lina's soul.
Below, 'Wunderland,' a song Gaga wrote for Lina sometime between 2006 and 2007.
Lina was very pretty and had a nice voice, and it is ashame she isn't still around; very sad. That said, she reminded me of just another pop star, nothing overly special. Gaga is in a category that very few artist have been placed. She is bazaar but makes it work for her. I have seen her perfomance and it is one of the best I have ever seen, and I have seen many performers.
Why would they need to sue lady gaga? The mother will try to make money off the publicity she gets from her daughters death from this whole absurd claim. People are so greedy it's ridiculous. Hope she makes cash from her daughters suicide, because that is what she is out to do.
I agree with Jasmine. Probably has I more to do with not being able to let her daughter go. The only way to keep her daughter alive is to keep talking about her... very sad. If you have children you can probably relate a little.
You obviously have never lost a child. Take it from me - this woman has EVERY right to feel as she does. If she is suing Lady G, it is because she has basically stolen someone else's identity. Imagine how painful it must be for this woman to see videos of a person who has copied her dead daughter's look. I would sue too.
i am soooo sory for this womans lost and her daughter was a beautiful talented young lady....but Gaga is Gaga and and i hardly think that she would STEAL this lady's child soul????...no offence to her but she is just another person that is just angry that her daughter didnt make it even thought she had talent.......and that her friend did and is one of the biggest pop stars in the world....#JustSaying...
PS gaga has never and would never pose with a flower saying you want me in a white dress looking normal...unless she was eating the flower while her dress was on fire...she f@#king weird and We all love her
I love that write as if you actually know Lady Gaga, you have no idea if she truly decided to acquire this Lina's persona. And Lady Gaga seems to be trying to channel a bit of Madonna, so she is not unique anyway.
not really a fan of gaga, but her stuff is obviously ten times more edgy and interesting than this faux-punk/goth bleeding heart crap. obviously, this girl really did have a bleeding heart since she killed herself, but her music sounds about as realistic as ashlee simpson's.
I really don't think this woman is too far off. Gaga seems to love to be "inspired" by other women. Have you heard of Isabella Blow? Look up her images under google.
Sad she lost her child soo young. However,Gaga is far more creative than this goth punk dance wanna-be. Lina and Gaga arent even on the same page or level. talent is talent. Gaga has that and more.
THANK YOU! Everyone on here who is bashing this poor girl, doesn't seem to realize that Gaga is copying Madonna, Hello!!!! I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that too. And Lina wasn't groomed into the celebrity like Gaga has; Gaga probably doesn't even know "WHO" she really is anymore.

She does remind me a lot of Gaga. But they did work together so it makes sense that they may have had a similar style and similar tastes anyway.
May this beautiful young girl R.I.P.

Oh please. The "Lady" gagme hasn't got a soul of her own, never mind this woman's daughter's soul. What a crock.

Wow. I now know where Lady Gaga got her style from. Same lobster hat and everything. I'm kind of shocked actually.
Sad she lost her child soo young.

Yeah... kinda hard to be on the same 'level' when you're six feet under.
She might not have stole the girl's soul, but she probably bit on her sound. Why not? GaGa has ripped off Madonna enough.
