CNN just chose Lady Gaga as the “Best Breakthrough Artist of 2009!” In a recent review, they had this to say about her Atlanta Monster Ball Concert: “One of the most unusual ways Lady Gaga connects with her fans and propels herself to super stardom is by making them feel part of a special cult in which she is their queen and they are her "little monsters." She tells the story of how she saw a fan in Boston blasting her music in his car and couldn't get his attention until another guy in a different car rolled down his window and made a claw-like gesture. From that point on the claw became the universal gesture for Lady Gaga's little monsters.”
