Bachelor contestant Carly Waddell didn't like Lady Gaga in uni: "She's so extra"
Lady Gaga’s former NYU classmate Carly Waddell says she wasn’t a fan of her because she was “too extra” and would belt songs from ‘Wicked’ during lunchtime:

*Waddell went to school with Gaga, and was not a fan
* Gaga would sing and play piano during the lunch hour, apparently mostly songs from Wicked
* Choice quotes: "She's so extra. She would wear these really tight leotards, and she had really big boobs back then, and her boobs were just like coming out. She's so ridiculous. ...
[We] would eat in a dance studio. And there was a piano, and [Gaga] would sit at the piano every single day and just play and sing Wicked at the top of her lungs every day. And we were all just trying to eat lunch. It was break time, and we were all forced to listen to her. And yes, was she good? Of course! She was great, but I just wanted to eat my sandwich. And so I used to just eat in the hallway because she was driving me crazy."
* Waddell also says that Gaga was best when performing her own music, and also that she's a genius because she managed to become a huge star despite being only upper tier, not top of the performing class.
*Waddell, like Gaga, dropped out of the program. Unlike Gaga, she later gained notoriety by being on the Bachelor.
*Even more tiny, also-extra queen Kristin Chenoweth has said she'd love to sing with Gaga in response.
