I encourage you all to watch
this video by Lady Gaga. I came across it a couple of weeks ago when it appeared as one of those thumbnail "other videos" to sample after watching something on Youtube. For several days afterwards I was playing it over and over, like a twelve-year-old with a new 45.
I'd been hearing about this Lady Gaga person but I hadn't sampled any of her work. Turns out I'm a big fan. Her vibe resonates with a lot of old dance music I love, with an excellent dash of Marilyn Manson creepiness to keep things fresh. Also you gotta respect someone who can make a video with people in costumes dancing in a room and still make that new and interesting.
Sometimes the link will get you to the video without the requisite commercial, but that happy circumstance failed me for the first time today. Plug through it, it's worth your time.

She's smart and knows how to market herself well. I've seen a few of her videos but this is the first time I've seen this particular one. I have no doubt she'll go far in her venture. Although her style of music is not really my thing I do find her somehow alluring and hypnotic.
My sister keeps telling me to watch this video. I'll definitely have to check it out later this evening.
Well, it's not about snakes or lederhosen or anything.
Forget it then!
Maybe I'll reconsider if there are at least some hummels.
Sexy hummels?
I did like the vid, it's complete with sexy,somewhat dark and sinister moments in a good way, not quite like the mid ninety's Interscope crew though, what do you make of the rumors that the Lady G is actually a Mr G?
I hadn't heard those rumors but I can see where they came from. She has a very low voice range for a female and large facial features. Her face looks a bit mannish at times in this video
She's definitely got the style sense of a drag queen, but I think those are genuine girl hips.
Watching this video for the song Just Dance it looks like she's slimmed down a little. Her earlier dimensions might've helped such rumors.
Don't let the hips fool you, I've been watching Rupaul's Drag Race and some of those "men" have bodies most women would kill for. Padding excluded, you can pad a bikini.
I meant "Can't" pad a bikini.
I am sort of drawn to her freakiness. She looks attractive in the shots of her face close-up (with her crying.) But from a distance she's not as pretty. I can definitely see the drag queen look to her face, even though I don't actually thing she's a guy.
Here's a pretty funny clip of one of her songs as read by Christopher Walken.
I worked with a lady once who looked like a drag queen. She was very thing with a large nose & teeth and wore fake eyelashes and heavy make up.
Ha! I actually found a picture of her! Not a great one but you'll get the point.
I think "she was very thing" is my new favorite typo.
Just watched the Poker Face video and then Christopher Walken reading the lyrics and then Lady Gaga on the same show talking about Poker Face.
She could totally be a guy passing for a woman, but my instincts say no.
Christopher Walken is a genius.
Yeah he it, that was great DCD.
Glad you enjoyed my typo :)
Lady Gaga Marathon on Fuse all day today.
Yeah, I'd hit that.
