A Tale of 3 Divas

By: Overtime Staff
Topics: 60 Rewind

When CNN's Anderson Cooper interviewed Lady Gaga for this week's "60 Minutes" show before the Grammys, Gaga did something that only two other famous divas have done in the history of the broadcast.

Lady Gaga: Behind the "60 Minutes" Interview

Gaga: My Bravery Is In My Wigs

As you'll see in this video, when Cooper confronted Gaga with the similarity, Gaga seemed pleased, referring to the two older stars as her "sisters."

Barbra Streisand, who is being honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year at this year's Grammy Awards, created a tradition on "60 Minutes" that lives on in 24-year-old Gaga. Watch and enjoy, fans.

Where I can buy some? She is super smart, extremely talented; I enjoy her performances and interviews very much.; Reply to this comment


by glamgail February 21, 2011 4:26 AM EST: The piece proves why these 3 women are the focus of the piece. They did not get here and last this long by being fools. Call them Divas or Pain-in-Tushes, one thing they are not are flash-in-pans. There is tons of talent out there. But these gals have staying power and star quality because they were and remain aware of what it takes to present and preserve their images. No less is done by those who paint a portrait or preform a flawless piano recital. But, this obviously unnerves the male components of the piece. As time went on, Mike Wallace famously apologized to Barbara Streisand for his insulting and condescending manner during this very interview. Madonna maintains at the top of her game despite her years in show business. Lady Gaga shows that she already knows the importance of what the camera captures. After all, thousands are not standing in the rain to see Anderson Cooper sing or a curmudgeonly Charlie Rose. Gee, from this piece, it's so hard to figure out who had their priorities right and who's just lining up to buy tickets at the door.; Reply to this comment

Wow, I didn't realize how ugly Madonna is. She has no talent either. How did she ever get to where she is today and what kind of a country is this that makes people like this into stars? Streisand is the only one who is a giant...the other two aren't fit to lick her boots. (Another totally ugly chick is Sarah Jessica Parker...where do these women come from?)

by Reasonnyc March 13, 2011 9:51 PM EDT: Cruel, but true about Madonna, judging from these clips, she is ordinariness glammed up. But then are so many stars with lesss than perfect features in daily life. Poor Barbara Streisand's face is not exactly the most attractive feature set, to some tastes, with such a prominent nose. But what counts is her spirit, lively and determined to entertain joyously, and her voice, which is exceptionally clear and fine, and skilfully controlled. They all deserve the fame and stardom they have, because it is presentation that counts. Many many stars have fairly ordinary features, or even rather plain ones, in everyday life. Few are as blessed as Colin Firth, for example, who looks just as delightful in real life as he does on screen. Lucky man.


by unevensteve February 17, 2011 12:38 AM EST: I'd say in 2011, just about EVERY woman being recorded in front of a camera is going to do everything she can to make herself look better. Vanity it's not just for DIVAS anymore!!; Reply to this comment

by anne_kristin February 20, 2011 10:56 AM EST: I totally agree with you. Who wouldn't mind how they look on camera. I would worry about the angle of the camera, how I sat etc I would want to look the best I could.. DIVA or not


by Kevinflorida February 16, 2011 7:47 PM EST: Stop being hater and jealuosy.Peace.I'm not a fan of nobody.But i like all 3 sucessful women,Intelligent not FAT a@@.; Reply to this comment


by betsyny February 15, 2011 7:09 PM EST: Hmmm, lets see, a bunch of male producers are noting that three strong women are vying for control with THEM...I think this says a lot more about these men than it does about these very famous women. What do you expect them to do, hand over all their authority to YOU? Oh, how very sexist of you.; Reply to this comment


by Mastermind7526 February 14, 2011 10:39 AM EST: Glad they won, although I wonder how the voting broke down. I bought eminem's "Recovery" after hearing him on NPR and thought it was a great piece of art -- and I"m not a big rap fan myself.

EVERYBODY's a critic!

I think she's terrific. I love her and I hope she never stops.

But maybe I am too young for my taste 1n music to have matured. I'm 62.

These are three of the most inspirational women in the world, not just in their field but in all their endeavors to improve the lives of their fans and others.

This lady ga ga is not of any newsworthy signifance. just plain publicity and propaganda. Especially surprising is how Anderson Cooper associates himself with this wannabe,
way below Coopers level. I do not log into 60 minutes to view trash such as this , and neither should most of your viewers.

by alisonnn83 February 13, 2011 11:46 PM EST: So by taking your time to comment on this video and telling the rest of us, most of us fans of Gaga if we're watching this, that this is trash, makes you somehow above everything Gaga stands for or how Anderson Cooper respects her as an artist? If you had a bit of true intelligence reguarding Gaga you would know she's quite educated and literate. She's not just news, and she's very newsworthy. If you don't want to view things like this, save your time and move past this. But I guarentee you that there has been and will be MUCH worse people that have been/are featured on this site.
