Why Lady GaGa is good for music...

Ok so this is probably a bit of a surprising blog but let’s face it, Lady Gaga is awesome. A friend of mine once said that he wished he was related to Lady Gaga. So why is she so cool and what makes her so good for the music industry?



Well first thing’s first, she’s different. I remember watching her being interviewed on Friday night with Jonathan Ross and thinking ‘who is this freak girl?’. Now I know that was a little unfair but she is a little strange one. The fact that she’s different is great for young fans showing you don’t have to fit in to be cool – it’s ok to be a little GaGa. In fact that’s what Stephanie has taught me. Dress the way you want, be the way you want and let those who want to be your friend, like you for the way you are. Ok mushy stuff over…

Lady Gaga has worked hard to be where she is. She wasn’t part of a talent show, she wasn’t part of heavy record company promotions like acts such as Pixie Lott, Gaga worked hard to feel the effects of fame. Gaga worked in tiny clubs in NYC to gain any little bit of publicity she could even playing strip and burlesque clubs.

She can actually sing, pretty damn well. Just look at the live versions of ‘Bad Romance’ and listen to those powerful vocals – who can really sing like that these days really? And to top this off, she can actually play an instrument, a trait that most singers don’t have these days. Can Joe McEldery play an instrument? I thought not!

Lastly, she’s fun. From watching her performance of ‘Bad Romance’ on the X Factor you can tell she loves the stage and thinks about the visuals of every performance. Lady Gaga actually decides on what props are used on stage – just look at the disco stick, how weird but fun is that?! It’s even kept in it’s own box!

So, Lady Gaga is good for the music industry because she’s a breath of fresh air. She’s an old time musician who likes to put on a good show and represent all of those who like to be a little different or just be themselves. It’s clear people love her, with several UK number Ones under her belt and two fabulously selling albums. Lady GaGa we love you! :D
