Going GaGa

Weird and wonderful - how often do these two words complement each other to near-perfection? Some might say Johnny Depp. In the music world, there is Lady Gaga.

She probably needs no further introduction. "Just dance/it'll be okay/da da doo doo/" and "P-p-p-pokerface/p-p-pokerface" will definitely ring a bell. If not, you don't have to bother reading on.

Although she may appear really incoherent at times:
(that was exactly what she wore on the Ellen show, and many people didn't know what to make of it as she started talking, the orbits would move about her face - check out Youtube), her songs are quite different from the others out there.

Recently, I've been replaying her next mega-hit, Paparazzi. It's not as hard-hitting as Just Dance or Pokerface, but there's a certain ring to her singing "But I won't stop until that boy is mine" that pulls you in.

And did I mention that crazy music video that everyone's talking about? As morbid as her different poses are in the vid, there's no denying her insane but wonderful fashion sense.



On that note, you should check this out, too. This is a video of a young woman doing an acoustic version of Paparazzi. Simply put, it's really amazing.



And if you're a Daughtry fan as well, check out his acoustic version of Pokerface. My OG Pavarotti might recognise this version 'cos we heard this version performed during out Timbre outing. I think it's inspired by this vid:



That was quite a lot of Gaga, wasn't it? Well, believe me, she's influential enough to probably be the next Madonna. Or maybe not. Or whatever. I just dig her music.

Watching Harry Potter 6 tomorrow. Wait for my review!

Take care, peeps!
