Lady Gaga Beats Oprah in The 2010 Time 100

Lady Gaga has had a big influence on the music industry in recent years. She has a style that sets her apart from all the other musicians out there right now. From her outlandishly creative costumes, to her catchy tunes that you hear all over the radio, she has created her own unique style. This is part of what makes her so unforgettable. Once you see her perform in a video, on television, or in concert, it is a unique experience that you will remember.

Time magazine has just released there top 100 Most Influential People. This list is broken down into categories that include Leaders, Heroes, Artists, and Thinkers. Included in this list are names like President Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, Ben Stiller, Phil Mickelson, Conan O'Brien, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Warren, and Steve Jobs.

So where does Lady Gaga fall within this list? She is listed as the Most Influential Artist in the world today. Beating out Oprah Winfrey, Conan O'Brien, and Ashton Kutcher. This is a huge thing for a musician that is only 24 years old and who has only been in the limelight for a few years.

Fellow musician, Cyndi Lauper says, "An artist's job is to take a snapshot — be it through words or sound, lyrics or song — that explains what it's like to be alive at that time. Lady Gaga's art captures the period we're in right now." You can't turn on the radio, watch music videos, or go to a dance club without hearing something by Lady Gaga, and chances are that you will hear several of her songs.

Lady Gaga has already amassed many awards and achievements in her career as a musician, and I'm betting that this trend will continue for quite a while. She has also had her share of controversy and has with stood it. She is considered to be an icon in the gay community, and attributes most of her early success to her gay fans.

Lady Gaga has released two albums, "Fame" and "Fame Monster", which include her hit singles, "Poker Face", "Just Dance", "Paparazzi", and "Telephone" which also features Beyonce. All of which have been hits on the Billboard charts. Her popularity continues to grow among fans of all ages. It looks like she will be around for a while, so whether you love her or hate her, you better get used to seeing her.
