Extravagantly outfitted singer Lady Gaga, former US president Bill Clinton and Brazil's leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are the world's most influential people according to Time magazine's annual list. 

Lady Gaga, famous for bizarre（奇异的） costumes and chart-topping dance music, leads the list of most influential artists, leading US late-night TV host Conan O'Brien, Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow and daytime TV queen Oprah Winfrey.

Clinton, who has reinvented himself as a major fund-raiser and anti-poverty activist⁴ since leaving the White House, heads the "heroes" section, beating South Korean figure skater（花样滑冰运动员） Kim Yu-Na and Iranian opposition⁵ leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi.

The "leaders" list starts with the Brazilian president, who is praised for his drive to bring social justice and end deep inequality in his huge Latin American country.

J.T. Wang, CEO of the Taiwanese PC maker⁶ Acer comes in at number two as a representative of the rise of Asian companies.

The top US military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, is third, with President Barack Obama only in the fourth slot.

"Some of the people you'll encounter on this list are influential in the traditional sense," Time managing editor Richard Stengel says. "But we also seek out people whose ideas and actions are revolutionizing their fields and transforming lives."
