Before writing this article I was guilty of judging Lady Gaga on her appearance, the clothes she wears and the rumours I have heard, but as I looked beyond all that, beyond the crazy outfits with which she hides behind, I saw someone very similar to me someone with dreams, she may have fame and money but that all started out with the little plastic microphone and dancing with her father. If we are all honest we all judge people the same by their looks and their clothes or their popularity status, but if we look harder maybe we can see the true person not just the mask they hide behind.
