Synopsis Edit

Lisa tries to reverse her status as the least popular girls in school by ghostwriting positive things (naming herself truthteller) 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 (guest-starring as herself) 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.^[1]

Summary Edit

Lady Gaga makes a pit stop in Springfield after learning that it has the lowest self-esteem of any place in the world and winds up trying to cheer up a dejected Lisa through the power of speech, song, and a flash mob.

ProductionEdit

During August 2011, it was revealed that Lady Gaga would star as herself in an upcoming episode.^[2][3][4] 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".^[5] 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."^[6]
