"How was that for you when she was in her teens," Oprah asks in a sneak peek look at Sunday's interview on OWN.
"When Gaga started emerging, when she was performing, I think it was at Joe's Pub downtown. She was in her bikini performing with Lady Starlight and decided that night to heavy metal to actually light hairspray on fire," Cynthia recalls. "Some people left when that happened and a lot of people stayed and thought it was cool, but her father and I were like, honestly, he said, 'I think she has a screw loose.' "
