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, they started to react differently and begin to idolize this artist.

Lady Gaga started playing piano when she was only four years old and, she written her first balled when she is only 13 years old.

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. Some even color their hair to become like her, some of them even edit her song and shoot the music video some more. Slowly, this became an Internet Meme.

This shows that music 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 rather hilarious and weird, music is always there to link us with everyone. Agree?
