The more I see and hear from Lady GaGa, the more I enjoy and appreciate her. She's innovative, entertaining, a great performer, and the girl can really sing. Did you see her on Saturday Night Live? It was a reminder that female pop singers should actually be able to not only dance and put on a killer show but should also sound good live. And she really did.
I was reading up on the National Equality March in Washington D.C. yesterday and was pleased to see that Lady GaGa gave quite a stirring address to the crowd. Her "Obama, I know you're listening..... ARE YOU LISTENING?!" line was well received and memorable. President Obama set that up beautifully for her when at the 13th annual Human Rights Campaign dinner said, "It is a privilege to be here and open for Lady GaGa." A round of applause for both of them. That man can give a speech by the way. If you haven't seen it yet, click here. I had to watch it twice as I was teared up the first time. What can I say, he spoke right to my heart.
Here's GaGa addressing the crowd:
I think she's a great ally and a great artist. Well done.
Video found on Towleroad.
Now i know her

I havent heard her speech yet but I hate to admit that I do like her. I think her associates with that former fattie Perezhilton (I dont want to give him any more press) drags her down a bit.

It's hard to take Obama at his word when he doesn't issue a stop loss with an executive order, just a quick signature to stop the invesigation of out service members. he can stop don't ask to don't tell until congress votes on it again.
but he won't apparenlty because some rather ridiculous but powerful gay leaders are asking him to not do that. those gay leaders don't have the guts civil rights leaders had in the 60s. they didn't comprimise. some even died for their beliefs.
but good speech, even thought its not enough. I heard Barney Frank said don't ask don't tell will be voted on early 2010. so that's nice. and other bills on hate crimes and employment discrimination are close.

She can't win for losing. People are cutting her up for having a decent voice but doing commercial music. Others are saying she's just a Madonna clone. Well, she's going to keep going regardless of all the couch slayers out there.
