Gaga News: Lady Gaga won two Grammy Awards :)

... and she got Elton John to wear a pair of gold-dust covered glasses + an unusually big "star of David" ear-ring - while they're performing a duet at the awards.

I apologize for the blur images ;P
there aren't any pics of Elton John wearing that ear-ring so I had to copy it from the YouTube vid

Lady Gaga's performance with Elton John at the Grammy Awrds double up as quite a good magic show :) - disappearing acts, fires, etc

Lady Gaga Fashion & a wacky song titled "Telephone";)

Lady Gaga summed up:
Interesting clothes ;), more interesting personality, LOUSY song titled "Bad Romance", MUST-LISTEN-SONG of the year titled "Telephone" Ft Beyonce.
It's awesome! :)
simple & playful lyrics, but I just love the beats!
It reminds me a lot about Aussie group Madison Avenue's song titled "Don't Call Me Baby"

Boy, don't we all love to see what she wears next? ;)
This is a reindeer outfit that she wore fore Christmas

This was what she wore for the Grammy's Awards :)

She's a very nice person:) - not at all a primadonna. I once read an article about Lady Gaga buying pizzas for her fans during an autograph session so that they won't go hungry

Lady Gaga's Mickey Mouse pants :)

Lady Gaga's so entertaining :)
Yes, I'm way past the age of pop fandom, but I can't help but like her unusual sense of fashion (which sometimes crack me up) - the "transparent bubbles costume", yellow colour Mickey Mouse hot pants... (in her pseudo-film noir "Papparazzi" MTV)

My Mum  used to have a similar-looking pyjama

Lady Gaga's not a typical singer

not a typical songwriter

She's very upbeat - you can probably think of her as the "Salvador Dali" of the music industry

She studied Arts, and applied them  very well in her work (lyrics, music, costumes)

- she's the daughter of a wealthy Internet entrepreneur who decided to be independent & earned her own living by working as a song-writer/singer/stripper at NYC clubs - where she and her good pal Lady Starlight came up with some pretty good Revue Shows

Black colour lips

When I first came across the MTV at McDonald's, I couldn't quite fathom why she'd have the bizzare "wheelchair" scenes, but after having watched it on YouTube, I finally understood the story behind the MTV.

The video began with some classic 1950s-60s film-noir montages...

 

To summarize, her boyfriend pushed her down from the balcony. She was hospitalised, but being a strong-willed & resillient person, she practised her dances even when she's wheelchair bound - and when she recovered, she took revenge on her bf - and was eventually arrested by the police

 

 

 

This is the "revenge" scene, where she wore the funny looking Mickey Mouse hot pants :)

 

Another picture of the Mickey Mouse costume...

A wheelchair-bound Lady Gaga practising her dance routine with a very "multicultural" group of dancers

What I like about the "Papparazzi" MTV is that it's very "motivational", in that it encourages us to "not give up easily"

- ie. , if  Lady Gaga can bounce back from being an invalid (due to hard work and determination), we can do the same too

 

 

What is a disco stick?

I've never really been a fan of any singers in my entire life. But in the recent months, I was intrigued with a photo of a singer named Lady Gaga wearing a transparent "bubbles" stage costume - which appeared in The Star, a Malaysian mainstream newspaper.

(If I say I'm impressed with any celeb, you've gotta take me seriously;) Because I have never paid any attention to Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, or owned any CDs apart from Whitney Houston's)    
- as such, I am reviewing her work very objectively, and void of the intense fan devotion that would usually cause biased judgements

Well, I was curious enough to google Lady Gaga's and chanced upon her fan site www.ladygaga.com and quite like the Flash design:) 
- an AI version of New York City 
If you move your mouse cursor on the screen, you will get a Flash view of NYC

I listened to some of her songs on YouTube, read her biography and found myself quite impressed with this young artiste! 

What's interesting about her work is that they're heavy on parody - eg. a love song titled "Brown Eyes" whereby the music video's done in a Salvador Dali style - very Freudian (she hugged a corpse as she was singing the song). You can view the video here:-
(It's in French, with English subtitles - provided an overview of all her songs in her debut album The Fame)


and there's also a song titled "Passion" written from the p.o.v. of a transvestite and sung in an effeminate voice;) lol - which I thought was brilliant
I mean, who else had ever really thought about writing a song for Ladyboys?
I only thought about Ladyboys when I visited Thailand
I do not discriminate and I personally feel sorry for the marginalised groups as I have some gay Asian friends who are very intellectual, but suffered discrimination in traditional workplaces. So, great job, LadyGaga - for doing something to help them out! :)

She has a very wacky fashion sense. 
IMHO, very artistic!
Some snapshots of her bizarre costumes...

A snail-inspired outfit

An eagle-inspired metallic colour dress

Mickey Mouse hairdo

 

Look at those lips! :)

Purple colour hair

"Red Riding Hood" leotard

Geometry dress

My favourite:) Blue puffed-sleeves top

I was impressed because she's only 22 and she has a very good insight on how to capture attention in an uncanny way - injecting art into contemporary music and at the same time, bringing attention to social issues - the 'dark side' of city life that people are aware of, but rarely talk about.

Lady Gaga carrying a disco-stick - her favourite on-stage prop

She probably invented the word "disco stick"
- Well, maybe she didn't... but nevertheless, she did help popularize "disco stick" by giving it a new meaning. In her performances (particularly when she sings the song titled "Just Dance"), she is often seen carrying a rod which she refers to as her disco stick)

She french-kissed two Dalmations in one of her videos. Gross? ;p I actually thought it's quite creative (errm... I'll never look at Dalmations the same way again)

Although Lady Gaga does have her critics, I am inclined to believe that she is a very "original" artiste - and being a non-celeb fan, I believe that I'm judging her very objectively - and this blog post will perhaps, make you curious enough to do a bit of googling on your own;)

I'm just so enamoured with Lady Gaga's unique fashion sense and bizarre videos that I almost forget to mention that she has a very good voice - as good as Christina Aguilera's - Broadway quality!!:)
