London, (ANI): Singer Lady Gaga has admitted that went for the blonde look to avoid her resemblance with troubled pop star Amy Winehouse. The 23-year-old was shocked when an interviewer asked her questions thinking she was the 'Rehab' hitmaker.

The 'Poker Face' singer insists that she wants to be known for her own style. "Amy is a badass but I want to be known for my own look," the Sun quoted Lady Gaga as saying. Gaga's real name is Stefani Germanotta. She got her stage name when the music producer Rob Fusari compared her vocal style to that of Freddie Mercury, and took the name Gaga from the 1984 Queen single "Radio Ga-Ga."
