Lady Gaga walked away with a trio of awards at the BRITS last night and set the Press all a-twitter with her look. She arrived looking as though she belonged on top of one of those tacky, frilly toilet roll holders, but then stripped down to a racy, lacy little number. 
Personally, I love this kind of showmanship. Whenever she appears you can expect the unexpected and last night’s Madame Pompadour-wigged look made me think back to someone else who isn’t too bad at a bit of a showmanship - Elton John!
I don’t mind admitting that I’m a Lady Gaga fan. Her track ‘Just Dance’ could well be the anthem for many young girls now – a good pop and dance track that tells it how it is. Yes, she’s a talented singer and songwriter of generally leave-your-brains-at-the-door pop, but I suspect there is much, much more to come from her. Clearly surrounding herself with an equally talented, creative and innovative team, I’m definitely reminded of pop icon Madonna. It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out for her.

Oh my, that lacy number is something else!
(I must be getting old …).
I do agree with you, though – Lady Gaga may be a pop singer but I think that she is actually very talented, and if she has the guts to carry off all these outfits then good on her (she has more nerve than I ever would in a thousand lifetimes!). I heard one of her live performances on the radio and was surprised at the strength and fabulousness of her voice. In the age of often super-manufactured music, it was a strangely refreshing relief to hear that she actually can sing! And yes, I can’t help but bop along to her music on the radio
Quite an interesing character! At least she has the bod to pull off those costumes…kind of like Cher in her day. She does have a great voice.
I love her music, her performances, her talent……but definitely not in love with her dressing.
I get a kick out of her too; everyone is so “cookie cutter” these days it’s nice to have someone willing to take some creative risks!
