LADY GAGA... CONQUERS AMERICAN IDOL


Everyone who saw Lady Gaga perform on American Idol agree: they were all blown away by this young girl!

Wikipedia lists Lady Gaga as being New Yorker Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, who was born on March 28, 1986. She is a talented singer-songwriter and musician.

The thing is that Lady Gaga immediately appeared on my radar when she released the song Just Dance. Having seen her performances on television and the Internet, all I can say is that her American Idol blowout performance was inspired and borders on the genius in terms of packaging.

You see, Lady Gaga releases good dance songs -- and even better, uses glammed up music videos of herself as a diva in these videos. The thing is that, her live-performances are very dicey -- her voice does not hold up well for long.

Starting out the American Idol gambit with a bit of piano plinketing with the violinist and the delivering a highly explosive but suitably shortened version of her rather fabulous song Poker Face was a stroke of genius. Her voice held up well throughout and her impressive choreography and stage costume delivered the desired effect: she got the whole world to watch her wonderfully theatrical performance in awe.

Now, that is a really REALLY clever girl, if you ask me!
