No one in pop is more audacious about headwear. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a k a Lady Gaga, sings, writes, dresses and apparently exists to toy with celebrity as performance art, seeing how freaky (in a fascinating way) she can be as she reaches a mass audience. A combination of well-planned outlandishness, media exposure and catchy, stuttering choruses “pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi,” “p-p-p-poker face” has made Lady Gaga a multimillion-selling, Grammy-nominated star in less than a year and a half since the 2008 release of her debut album, “The Fame” (Streamline/Konlive/Cherrytree/Interscope). “Take my picture!” she urged the audience, in her first of four sold-out shows at Radio City. The more her image gets around, the better Lady Gaga does. Her Monster Ball tour always provided something worth a snapshot: a sci-fi tableau, perhaps, or a skimpy, glittery costume. When Lady Gaga finished her thumping, strobing, razzle-dazzle song-and-dance numbers at Radio City Music Hall on Wednesday night, she held her pose and kept the stage lights on, delighting her many camera-wielding fans.
