Person of the Year

2009 was, more than anything, a year focused on finding the new. What's new? What's fresh? What's different? And more than anyone else, the person than fulfilled our desire for something new, was Lady Gaga. She took the music industry and then the entire world by storm. She brought us into a crazy dimension full of power, emotion, and creativity, and wasn't worried about what people thought of it. Her debut album The Fame went platinum back in May and spawned The Fame Ball Tour. Her album was also the first debut album, in history, to produce four #1 singles. She preformed in an astounding amount of television performances including The MTV Video Music Awards, The American Music Awards, Gossip Girl, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Saturday Night Live, and The 57th Miss Universe Pageant. In November she continued her pop music reign with The Fame Monster, an extension to her debut album and took off on her world-wide tour, The Monster Ball Tour. She also appeared in several magazines like, Elle and V Magazine. Not only did she amaze the world with her music, she kept everyone guessing with her fashion. She can and will wear anything she wants, whether it's a lace body suit, an Alexander McQueen couture sequin piece or a giant rotating metal sphere. Her music video for Bad Romance is probably the most fashion-forward music video ever; it had latex body suits, (fake) polar bear capes, and plenty of Alexander McQueen shoes and sequins to go around. No matter what anyone says, Lady Gaga is one hell of a creative and talented woman, and I'm positive we'll see more of this pop culture sensation in 2010.
