Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.
Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.
Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes
Sensationalism
The article uses sensationalism to generate interest and attention by emphasizing Lady Gaga's Oscar win and the continued popularity of the song 'Shallow'.
Lady Gaga won her first Oscar playing up-and-coming singer/songwriter Ally Maine alongside Bradley Cooper in 2018′s A Star is Born. However, she wasn’t the only pop icon considered for the role. A Star is Born signified the first time that Mother Monster took the lead in a blockbuster. She landed a nomination for Best Actress at the 2019 Oscars and snagged the award for Best Original Song at the ceremony. Years later, her award-winning duet with Bradley “Shallow” is still generating headlines.
Suggested Changes
Remove the emphasis on Lady Gaga's Oscar win and the continued popularity of the song 'Shallow' to provide a more balanced presentation.
Misleading headlines
The headline suggests that the studio couldn't pay one of the considered stars, but this information is not provided in the article.

Change the headline to accurately reflect the information provided in the article.
Omission of key information
The article fails to provide information about the four other female vocalists who were considered for the lead role in 'A Star is Born'.
That included four other female vocalists who could have landed the starring role. One of them was even attached to the movie at least twice, with reports suggesting that she wasn’t selected because the studio couldn’t afford her asking price. Who were they and what happened that led to them being overlooked? We did all the digging!
Include information about the four other female vocalists who were considered for the lead role and the reasons why they were overlooked.
Cherry-picking data
The article selectively focuses on Lady Gaga's achievements and popularity, while downplaying the significance of the previous versions of 'A Star is Born' and the other female vocalists considered for the lead role.
While she’s iconic in the role, some fans might not be aware that A Star is Born is a movie that had already been made three times before Lady Gaga was cast. The first version of the movie was released in 1937 and starred Janet Gaynor; the second came out in 1954 with Judy Garland in the lead. Barbra Streisand took center stage in the version of the movie released in 1976. A fourth version of A Star is Born had been in the works for years with various talent associated with it by the time that Gaga was cast.
Provide a more comprehensive overview of the history of 'A Star is Born' and the significance of the previous versions. Give equal attention to the other female vocalists considered for the lead role.
