Contents
Synopsis
Lisa tries to reverse her status as one of the least popular girls in school by ghostwriting positive things about herself on the school blog. When her plan backfires, her social ranking plummets to a new low – until a psychic force tells Lady Gaga that Lisa needs her help. With Gaga’s assistance, Lisa and the entire town of Springfield realize that being yourself is better than being like anyone else.
Plot
The Lady Gaga Express passes through Springfield and Lady Gaga decides to stop and visit the town after she learns that it has the lowest self-esteem of any place on the planet. Meanwhile, at Springfield Elementary, the Student Choice Awards are taking place. Lisa wins the award for Least Popular Student, which depresses her. At dinner that evening, Milhouse shows Lisa the school's message board, where there are several posts written by a user named "Truth Teller" who praises her. The next day, Lisa is excited to learn that her fellow classmates now wish to befriend her after reading the message board...until Bart uncovers a notepad from Lisa's backpack full of Truth Teller's messages. Putting two-and-two together, Bart figures out that Lisa is Truth Teller and was ghostwriting the messages herself, in an attempt to reverse her status as the school's least popular student. Lisa's classmates overhear Bart and begin chanting "Lie Smeller" and she runs off in tears. On the Lady Gaga Express, a psychic force alerts Gaga to Lisa's depression and she makes it her mission to try and help.
Lady Gaga arrives in Springfield and is greeted by its inhabitants. At the Simpson home, Homer and Marge are trying their best to cheer up Lisa, with little success. Homer spots a news report on the TV about Gaga's arrival and makes plans to go and see her. Lisa reluctantly agrees and the family goes to watch Gaga perform. Gaga spots Lisa in the crowd and the two of them make their way back to the Simpson home to talk. There, Gaga tries to teach Lisa that being your #1 fan is the best way to live and that being yourself is better than being like anyone else. However, Lisa still remains upset and admits that she's given up hope.
Production
The episode was written by Tim Long and directed by Matthew Schofield.
During August 2011, it was revealed that Lady Gaga would star as herself in an upcoming episode.[1][2][3] Gaga's recording sessions took place on August 22-26th in Los Angeles. Entertainment Weekly interviewed Gaga, expressing that her appearance was "a little nerve wracking" and that she "[doesn't] do voice-overs every day of the week". "Their characters are so awesomely convincing and sincere and wild and funny, [that] I had to remind myself constantly of the sincerity of the humor. That's what I was trying to focus on, not putting on a character too much and really being as sincere as I could with the lines." Despite these initial emotions, Gaga exclaimed that working with the staff of the show was "one of the coolest things that [she] has ever done".[4] The show producers were impressed with Gaga's ad-libbing skills and her voice-acting range. Matt Groening was also interviewed by the Entertainment Weekly, he stated that "since the very beginning, I’ve always wanted to have on the most iconic personalities of our time, and she's it". Also, Yeardley Smith was interviewed by Broadway.com, and stated that she "was stunned that she has time in her schedule that she's coming to our studio to record."[5]
