As far as admitting mistakes go, this one is at the top of the list, filed under EPIC FAIL, the producer who said no to Lady GaGa!

L.A. Reid insists he hasn't made too many mistakes when it comes to talent, but letting Gaga go is something that continues to upset him – but can you blame him?!

Reid says, "Lady Gaga comes into my office, she sits at the piano, she has white go-go boots up to her thighs... and she is unbelievable. She sits there and she plays songs on the piano and sings and she finishes. And I tell her, 'You know what, you are going to change music.'”
"About two months later I forgot that I said that and I heard her demo tapes... and I said, 'You know what? This is disgusting and you're disgusting,' and I dropped her... It was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life."
