Lady Gaga Rules Billboard.com's Readers Poll 2013

Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande also scored major wins, but Gaga was the Billboard.com readers' MVP.

Put your hands up, make 'em touch: Lady Gaga is the ruler of Billboard.com's 2013 Readers' Poll, which allowed pop music fans far and wide to vote for their favorite albums, songs, videos and performances of the past year. Gaga, who returned in late 2013 with her "ARTPOP" opus, emerged in a superstar-laden field and claimed the poll's top prize: the 2013 MVP.

However, the MVP award was just the start for Gaga. "ARTPOP" was voted the readers' favorite album to top the Billboard 200 chart in 2013, while the official clip for "Applause" ran away with the Favorite Music Video category. Gaga's two-song stop on "Saturday Night Live" last month was voted the Favorite TV Performance of the year, and the singer blew away the competition in the Fashion category. And although "Lady Gaga Cancels Tour Dates Due To Injury" won the Biggest Disappointment award, that win just demonstrates how eager fans remain to see Gaga live -- her next tour was voted the most anticipated event of 2014.

2013 was a huge year for Gaga in the Readers' Poll, but Miley Cyrus wasn't too far behind the "Do What U Want" singer. "Wrecking Ball," Cyrus' first No. 1 single on the Hot 100 chart, was voted the best Hot 100 chart-topper of the year, and Cyrus' "Bangerz" career revival was voted the Comeback of the Year. Cyrus' twerk-happy VMAs performance was voted the Most Shocking Moment in music of 2013, and the "Wrecking Ball" online parodies won the vote for the Best Viral moment of the year.

Some other winners of note: just like in our mid-year poll, Ariana Grande ran away with the Newcomer of the Year vote, overcoming fellow newbies Imagine Dragons and Lorde in the vote. Taylor Swift's international Red run was voted the Favorite Tour of the year, while Lollapalooza and "The X Factor" won for the year's best festival and musical TV show, respectively. And although we had to remove Beyonce from one of our categories -- "Beyonce Does Not Release An Album in 2013" certainly still can't be an option in the Biggest Disappointment vote! -- Queen Bey gave the Festival Performance of the year at Made In America, while she and Jay Z were voted the Hottest Couple of 2013.

Lady Gaga - Artpop Lyrics (Not Official)

(The lyrics are not official, it's just what I figured out, and with little help from the internet) 


Free my mind .. ARTPOP
You make my .. heart stop 


Come to me, in all your glamor and groovy 
Just do that thing that you do 
And I'll undress you 
You decide, sometimes the simplest move is right 
The melody that you choose, can rescue you 


A hybrid can withstand these things 
My heart can beat with bricks and strings 
My ARTPOP could mean anything 


We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
ARTPOP, ARTPOP, ARTPOP 


Come to me, without your subtext and fantasy 
Just do that thing that you do 
For my love is you 
Lovers fly, I've flown my beaches with lover's side 
The color palette you choose, and profit you 


A hybrid can withstand these things 
My heart can beat with bricks and strings 
My ARTPOP could mean anything 

Could try to sell you out or I 
Could show you all the reasons why 
My ARTPOP could mean anything 


We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
ARTPOP, ARTPOP, ARTPOP 

We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
ARTPOP, ARTPOP, ARTPOP 



Brush off the darkness that you create 
Your destiny that ARTPOP could mean anything, anything 
I tried to sell myself but I am really laughing 
Because I just love the music, not the bling 
The music, not the bling 


We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
ARTPOP, ARTPOP, ARTPOP 

We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
We could, we could belong together, ARTPOP 
ARTPOP, ARTPOP, ARTPOP 


Free my mind .. ARTPOP
You make my .. heart stop

Lady Gaga Goes Naked Again: This Time Covering Her Body With Grass For 'Do What U Want' Single Cover Art [PHOTO]

Move over meat dress, Lady Gaga’s covering herself up in a new way now. Just because it’s not made of meat, doesn’t mean it’s any less jaw-dropping. For the cover art for her new single “Do What U Want”, Gaga decided to strip down to nothing, but cover herself up with some grass. That’s right, like the front of your lawn grass. The single is set to release of Oct. 21st and in it, she collaborates with mega-star R. Kelly. Gaga tweeted about the song: “I REPEAT R KELLY IS ON ARTPOP. AND HE SOUNDS INCREDIBLE.”

ArtPop is Lady Gaga’s thirds studio album set to release on November 8th. The first single of the record, “Applause” has already been a huge success toping the charts as well as providing the theme music for several commercials, including car company Kia’s new ad. Lady Gaga is no stranger to shocking outfits and barely there stage costumes. 

Most notably, Gaga busted out of a giant egg on the Grammys stage during The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards held at Staples Center on February 13, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. From there, she doned the infamous meat dress, her own version of a male doppleganger and even posed as an erotic nun during her Monster Ball Tour. 

Lady Gaga recently made her return to the pop scene after having hip surgery that kept her of the stage for quit some time. Now, Mother Monster is back and ready for action. Gaga has recenty taken to Twitter for aQ&A with her mosters answering any questions they may have about her, the new album, and what we can expect to see from her in the future. As amazing as the green grass looks on Lady Gaga, we can certainly expect to see much more from the pop megastar.
