Lady Gaga Not Wearing Her Poker Face

We've all seen the many faces, outfits, hairstyles, and music videos of Lady Gaga. Society has seen Lady Gaga through all of her phases- from her silver hair in "Poker Face" in 2008, to her meat dress in 2010. But last night at the Oscars, I saw a side of Lady Gaga that I honestly didn't know existed. Her performance with Tony Bennett was absolutely breathtaking. Her platinum blonde hair, simply curled, her bright red lipstick, accompanied by her sparkly black dress had the entire country talking about her new look. And for one of the first times, I heard Lady Gaga's actual singing voice- not her rap, techno-edited voice, but her actual singing voice, exploring different ranges of pitch. Last night's performance was something I wish I would have seen from her years ago. I hope to see more of this talent from Lady Gaga!

    I watched the video -- so lovely! I honestly couldn't even believe it was her. Very "Agulerian" so to speak. I agree... definitely wish we could have seen more of this early on in her career. I feel like pop stars these days try to get their start by being so "out there" or different, and they all end up looking and sounding the same, because "if everybody's super, then nobody is." I'm definitely more inclined to listen to her now!

    I didn't get to watch it when it happened, but I looked at the video, and I feel the same way. It is incredible what a difference it was. I am curious what she will do next, every chance she gets she surprises people.

    I completely agree! Earlier this week, one of my friends showed me her Sound of Music performance at the Academy Awards, and I was shocked. I had written her off as another crazy performer, but these latest performances have made me reconsider. I will be curious to see what she does next; hopefully it will be more of what she has been doing recently.

    I've always thoughtshe was very striking, but seeing a performance like that? Wow, almost too mch for words. Before a lot of the accesory she had to rely only on her skill, and its lovely to see a break from the frippery for a bit.

    Beautiful and such a departure from her regular stuff. I think I like this side of her better.
