How Much is Lady GaGa Worth in 2013?

This Grammy winning superstar brings fashion, music and art together with her extravagant personality and performances. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born March 28 1986 in New York city. By the age of 4 she was already playing piano and this led to her performing at open mic nights in her early teens. She later dropped out of New York University to focus on her music career and during this time she worked with various producers and musicians.

It was 2007 when the music industry started to take notice. Her performances in a Burlesque show called Lady GaGa and the Starlight review got her hired as a song writer by Interscope records. Soon after her vocal talent was recognized by Hip Hop music superstar Akon and she was signed to KonLive distribution. Her debut album the Fame came out in 2008 and combined the genres of pop dance and electronic music. The positively reviewed record peaked at number 2 in the US and number 1 in several other countries. The Grammy winning effort produced singles such as the sexually charged Love Game and the synth pop ballad Paparazzi. But it was the international hits Just Dance and Poker Face that really turned Lady GaGa into a star.

The singer embarked on her first critically acclaimed headlining tour in 2009. The EP the Fame Monster came next and that album garnered several Grammy nominations including one for the song Bad Romance. The album also spawned the singles Telephone with Beyonce and Alejandro. These songs were accompanied by controversial music videos that lead her to become the first artist to have over 1 billion views on YouTube.

Lady GaGa also pushed boundaries with her fashion statements and performances. She pushed waves with a blood drenched performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. She returned the next year wearing a dress made entirely of raw meat which caused a storm among Animal rights activist. Also in 2010 came the release of a compilation called the Remix that featured alternate versions of her previous material. This was followed by a duet with Elton John called Hello Hello that appeared on the animated filmed Gnomeo and Juliet soundtrack.

GaGa’s second album Born This Way was released in 2011. Her sophomore effort melded electronic with pop and dance. The title track Born This Way was iTunes fastest selling single of all time and the track Judas. Though she is known for her music the artist is a philanthropist and an activist for equal rights for Gays and Lesbians. With her dance able pop songs and flamboyant sense of style Lady Gaga is definitely one of a kind.

Fifth Harmony Net Worth 2013 $3.5 Million

Despite the obvious comparisons to British sensations Little Mix and One Direction Fifth Harmony is a group of five best friends who are setting a path all their own. The girl groups composed of Dinah Jane, Ally Brooke, Normani, Lauren and Karla Camila originated on the Fox series X Factor. In 2012 each teen had auditioned as solo artist in the young adults and teen category but X Factor creator Simon Cowell had a plan greater than that.

The girls were put together in to form a girl group originally named LYLAS (Love You Like A Sister) but due to Bruno Mars’ sister who claimed she owned the rights to that name LYLAS switched to 1432 (I Love You 2, 1 letter in I, 4 letters in Love, 3 letters in You) but that didn’t last. The girls finally settled with Fifth Harmony but despite the constant name change the group’s fanbase continually grew. In the history of X Factor no other contestant had more twitter followers than each of the members and their official group twitter.

Despite the popularity the girls came in third and lost the $5 million contract. But L.A. Reid still signed them to Epic Records in a deal with Simon Cowell’s SYCO worth an estimated $3 million for 3 albums. Because of their age the cash advance from the deal was put into a fund for each member except Ally Brooke who was 19 at the time of the deal. She was awarded $500,000 cash advance. The girls have yet to release an official album but their social media status is growing rapidly. They are currently on a promotional tour for their first LP and Simon Cowell will have the Fifth Harmony perform on the first elimination night of X Factor season 3 which returns September 11th.

Fifth Harmony’s first single Miss Movin on was released on iTunes and in the first 24 hours the single was downloaded over 70,000 times. That’s double the response of Justin Timberlake’s 2013 single Suit & Tie. Will Fifth Harmony have what it takes to be bigger than the epic group Spice Girls? Only time will tell but I guarantee everyone has encountered at least one Harmonizer on twitter!

While Mo doesn’t consider herself a diva she is looking forward to getting back into music after taking such a long hiatus. She still remains close with her cousin Fabolous. The two are rumored to be hitting the studio again for a musical reunion. She is also hoping to reunite with Missy Elliot.

Lil Mo Biography Wiki Children

Cynthia Loving was born in Washington D.C. in 1978. She was raised in Long Island but because of her mother and father’s active duty in the military she was constantly moving around. Lil Mo began her career behind the scenes. Following her record deal with Elecktra records she worked with rapper and music producer Missy Elliot. Mo wrote songs for 3LW, Toni Braxton, Blackstreet, Next and Keith Sweat. But her breakout came in 1999 when Missy featured her on the track Hot Boyz. The song reached the top 10 Billboard 100 and garnered Lil Mo heavy attention from fans and music critics.

Murder Inc CEO Irv Gotti and rapper Ja Rule spotted her potential and signed her own to write songs for their label. In 2001 she was featured on the label’s hit’s I Cry with Ja Rule and Put It On Me. But she and Ja had a falling out which subsequently led to the label shelving her album and releasing Ashanti’s single Foolish. The feud went on for over a decade before the two reunited.

With her new found success she was able to quickly release her debut album Based On A True Story without the help of Ja Rule who had recorded several songs on her album. Those tracks were discarded and left off the album’s track list due to their feud. Her single Super Woman Pt II featured her cousin Fabolus who was also picking up a lot of attention and radio airplay. The single and music video were both hits getting large airplay on the radio and on video stations MTV and BET appearing on 106th and Park and TRL.

She met her first husband Al Stone in her hometown of D.C. She started a conversation with him while he was pumping gas and the two went on their first day that same night. The couple also got engaged 2 months later and in August of 2001 they were married. The following year Lil Mo was pregnant with their first child Heaven Love’on Stone.

On her second album Meet The Girl Next Door she dedicated her single 4Ever to her daughter Heaven. The song featured Fabolus and reached the top 40 on Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 on the Hip Hop/R&B Charts. The following year she became pregnant with she and Al’s second daughter God’iss Love Stone. But months after giving birth in 2005 she filed for divorce from Al.

Lil Mo was released from her contract with Elektra Records when the label consolidated with Atlantic records. She dropped Pain and Paper on her own label. The record sales were extremely low selling less than 100,000 copies. In 2009 she began working on her follow up but the album was put on hold when she got re-married to Phillip Bryant and the couple had their son Justin McKenzie Phillip in 2009. She and her husband Phillip Bryant, Gospel recording artist, moved to Maryland.

In 2011 she returned from her hiatus with another album P.S. I Love Me featuring songs with Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard and rapper Maino. But she once again failed to promote this album due to the pregnancy of her son Jonah-Maddox Phillip Bryant.
