Lady Gaga? It sounds weird and funny. Well, that was probably how most of us reacted when we first heard it and everyone was thinking “Who is that?” or “Lady Gaga, What?”. But when people start to find out more information about this person, watch her performances and her talent in music on the Internet, they started to react differently and begin to idolize this artist.
Lady Gaga is actually just a nickname of this female artist named Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and she was born on 28th March 1986 in Manhattan, New York. Stefani or should we say Lady Gaga started playing piano when she was only four years old and at the age of 17, she was studying at the New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Then, she entered the music entertainment circle and her first single, “Just Dance” was released two years ago and that song propelled her to where she is today.
However, she received mixed feedback from the public. Majority was amazed with her performance and singing talent but at the same time, they felt that her dressing style in music video or performances is very inappropriate for the public to see especially the younger generation.
Despite that, it still did not stop people from following Lady Gaga’s style on the Internet. More and more people started this “Copy” game and dress themselves as Lady Gaga. They take their own picture and post it online on sites like Facebook. Some even color their hair to become like her. Slowly, this became an Internet Meme and because Chinese New Year is just around the corner, some people who just have too much time shoot their own Music Video version of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face song and uploaded it on Youtube.

This shows that music is no longer a form of entertainment that helps to fulfill their ambition but a better way to communicate with one another. Even though those parodied Music Video is hilarious and weird, music is always there to link us with everyone. Agree?
