David, I would love to chat to you about Manhunt and men, but my mind has gone to the Gaga today.I don't know what else to say - this girl blows my mind. Funny enough, Lady Gaga is often a point of conflict between Boyfriend Joe and I. He feels she is an attention-seeking weirdo who is past due to reach the limit of weirdness and turn staler than a donut left on a park bench.
I feel like she's an attention-seeking weirdo who will blow the lid off weird and continue to revolutionize pop and dance music well into her 80s.
Last night's AMA performance was yet another in the long line of Gaga-rific amazingness. I love her zombie-slash-seizure like choreography. Her odd fashion taste can do no wrong. And who else has ever thought to use a microphone stand to smash their way into a glass cube to play a piano that catches fire like a Hibachi grill?
I'm sure there's some mastermind behind Gaga's fashion, dancing, and stage shows... but I'll keep pretending that it is all her doing. And I'll keep loving every minute of it while I am at it.
If you haven't see the performance yet, here it is. And if you have, you should go ahead and watch it again now.
But what REALLY blows my mind is just how talented Madame Gaga truly is... and always has been.
Check out this video that's been making the rounds (over 600,000 rounds to be specific) on the Web. Here she is performing, just her and the ole ivories, at an NYU event. Back then she was known as Stefani Germanotta. She had black hair. She didn't put latex sleeves on her face.
She still kicked ass and three quarters back then!
