Former Manager: Lady Gaga is very shy
October 9th, 2010 - 2:21 am ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt
Be ready to be blown off by the current revelation of the former manager of Lady Gaga.
According to Bob Leone, the singer was a painfully shy person and he revealed that the singer once came to the open microphone twice with her mother, before she gathered the necessary courage to perform.
Leone initially saw Lady Gaga when she was just 13 years. From that tender age, he became the star’s first manager and remained her manager until mid 2006 when they parted ways.
Leone says she knew Lady Gaga as ‘Stefani Germanotta’ but got blown away by the Lady Gaga transformation. She couldn’t believe that Lady Gaga was the same person who used to be so shy as a teenager.
It is very difficult to imagine that the pop singer who is very extravagant on stage was a shy person that shivered to stand in front of an open microphone. The Forbes Magazine named her as the 7th most powerful woman in the world this week and her extraordinary success last year saw her sweep 8 awards during the 2010 MTV VMA award.
Leone will be auctioning Lady Gaga memorabilia including a 2002 demo that was not released.
