Singer was never a 'normal' child

The 'Poker Face' singer Lady Gaga admits she was very different to other kids her age when she was growing up and even her parents noticed she wasn't the same as everyone else.

The eccentric star said: "My mother is the strongest person on the planet. My parents always knew I was different, I was never a normal kid. I talked differently. My dad used to say, 'Just get to the point.' I do that with my lyrics now. It's a testament when you achieve things like that when you're young. My parents really supported me."
