Special Post - Lady Gaga's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Once again, and because I received such good critics about my last post – I received only one, anyway…… -  I won’t give any historical data, in this case there is nothing to say at all, because everyone knows her. I will stick to my opinion and the way I see her work and her talent.

From what I read from her biography – still haven’t finished it – she is the kind of artist that is where she is, only because of her hard work. At the beginning she got nothing comparing to other artists.
In my opinion, artist like Gaga or P!nk that really had to work to be someone in music industry may be the ones that give more credit and passion to what they do, because they know how hard it was to be where they are now. I actually think you can see the ones that respect their own work and effort and those who don’t - you can see this in daily life too.

She began to play at small bars and by that time she had already ‘different’ outfits, it was her way to show herself. I think Gaga didn’t need to dress such things in order to be reckoned, but that's part of who she is now. From the very first start of her career she wanted to be different, she felt like she was and created such characters with such exotic and enigmatic clothes, but that’s just one part of the show.
Personally, I enjoy much more the innocent Gaga with whatever clothes she is on and a piano in front of her. Not because I don’t like to see her dancing or I think her tours aren’t good, but because I think her real talent isn’t shown in those occasions. She may create those shows but she is not putting 100% of her talent in that, at least the part of the talent I most admire about her: her voice and her writing skills.

Gaga & Ellen

Two incredible women together:

I just really love what I do.

Lady Gaga - Edge of Glory (Live @ BBC Radio 1)

No words. I think this is my favorite live performance and with no doubts my favorite music from her new album, Born This Way. Take a bit of your time to feel her passion and to hear such a beautiful voice.

There ain't no reason you and me should be alone tonight
Yeah baby, tonight yeah baby
But I got a reason that you-hoo should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it right when it's so wrong
Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby.
Right on the limit's where we know we both belong tonight.


Lady GaGa - Speechless (Live @ The Ellen DeGeneres Show)

Speechless. The song and the performance.

Lady Gaga - Marry the Night

The very first video she directed.
We all know every Gaga’s videoclip tells a story, they can be even classified as short movies.

When I look back on my life, it's not that I don't want to see things exactly as they happened. It's just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way and thrutly the lie of it all is much more honest because I invented it. Clinical psychologist tells us arguably that trauma is the ultimate killer. Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics, they can be lost forever. It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting and as the artist of that painting I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.
