I know, it's been a while

I was vacationing with my family and being all kinds of lazy last week and didn't do anything. Sorry I've been away so long. After being chastised by Jasmine, I decided I needed to post something, but I still feel pretty lazy. So until I find some motivation, enjoy this little jewel.

HMD: Lady GaGa

So I totally have a girl crush on Lady GaGa. She's really edgy, entertaining, and has an incredible voice. I started to listen to her when Perez posted her music and videos and I immediately bought her album. My favorite thus far is definitely Love Game.

The song is catchy and has a great beat. The video is hot and makes me feel funny. I don't think she has an exceptionally pretty face, but she has a killer body and has mastered the art of sex appeal. At least for me. (Don't worry Javi, I'm not switching teams).

What I find so cool about her is that every performance is different. She is really singing, no lip-syncing. She has a few really cool acoustic versions of her songs. This video of her performing Poker Face is gorgeous. You realize she has some insane pipes that you don't really hear in her album.

Another really cool song she has is Paparazzi. This video was done during her tea cup phase, but before the geisha lips.

I'm not sure what's up with the hat. But that's another really cool thing about her. I don't always like or get what she's doing or wearing (again, geisha lips), but it's always interesting, eye catching, and it gets her in the news, magazines, and blogs. Girl knows how to market and create interest in a product. It seems like she really treats this as a job. This is her passion and she sees everything as a marketing opportunity. You see her on all the blogs, but not for getting trashed every night. She's out making a scene and getting attention.

Oh also, she plays piano. And she has written songs for Fergie, Britney Spears, and others. And she's only 22. And her first 2 songs (Just Dance and Poker Face) both debuted at #1. That's insane.

Now if only I could go to one of her concerts...
