For those who still doubt it, yes she is completely inspired by Lady Gaga, for her looks, her personality and her story.

First, her name is Rara which is close to "Gaga", besides in Bad Romance she sings "Rah rah...".

Physically I see no resemblance with Lena Hall's look... But it looks A LOT like the outfits Gaga wore during the Born this Way era. Here are a few examples : http://pics.haircutshairstyles.com/img/photos/full/2011-05/lady_gaga_high_ponytail_hairstyle844.jpg

It's not inspired by one look in particular but it's really a mix of everything she put into that era : dark but glam with a rock and young spirit. Fans will recognize these looks.

Then there are so many common points with Gaga's story and personality. She is a true singer who can write songs, play the piano and sing perfectly on a stage. But she entered the world of pop and started to create her universe, to wear "weird" outfits and do pop and electro songs. So people who prefer "natural" singers are not interested in her and a lot of her "fans" only love her crazy persona and all. ''This is one of the only things that don't match Gaga's life though. Her fans have known for a long time that she is an amazing singer and performer and they know all of her acoustic versions for her songs. In this episode, Rara uses her piano and really sings for the first time since she has become famous.''

There's a reference to her manager too. Here, Rara's manager takes control of her career and asks her to wear these outfits and perform these songs because he knows it will be successful and he can earn money from this. Gaga's manager kind of did this at a certain point, he pushed her to always do more things, put out her album as soon as possible, do things and meet people she didn't want to. So she finally let him go and started to slow things down. She took her time to make an jazz album with Tony Bennett and didn't rush to release her next album.

One of the other common points is that Gaga and Rara have a strong connection with their fans, even if their manager/bodyguards etc. try to take them somewhere else, they still want to meet their fans, talk to them, because it's sacred to them.

I don't think they intended to mock Gaga with this episode but they rather made a tribute to her. And I'm sure Gaga doesn't mind it because she's full of humour and self-mockery too, she already did this in The Simpsons. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that they consider that pop music is stupid and all and a "real" singer and only sings in front of an audience is better. When Gaga makes pop music she doesn't rely on just the effects, the outfits and all, she does a real performance that combines all these elements and she sings amazingly. And even if "authentic" music is important to her, she won't let the rest of her artistry down.
