Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta

The thing about Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is that she is a great singer. I'm not sure if most people know that since she is known for her outrageous costumes. I'd really like to see Gaga can the over-the-top attire and showcase her singing. But her gimmick is working so I doubt she'll drop it. Check Stefani out below before she was Lady Gaga.

Yep, she's playing the keyboards in the video above but I didn't know she studied music and voice. Thanks for the info. That makes me want to see her drop the Gaga persona even more.; March 31, 2010 at 9:25 AM
Don said...: Hey. I enjoyed the video. She definitely has passion and talent. I would have never known the woman in the video to be Lady Gaga if I weren't told, beforehand.

I can see why Gaga performing with Elton John was eventful for her. I can see Elton John within her, during portions of the video.

Thanks for sharing.; March 31, 2010 at 12:52 PM

She def has some Elton in her. They both are over the top with their costumes and both are very talented.

Glad you liked the vid.; March 31, 2010 at 3:20 PM

Madonna dropped the wild costumes as she became more successful (but then started wearing them as her fame began to fade).
Maybe Gaga will do the same.

I think of Cher mixed with Madonna when I see the lady.; March 31, 2010 at 9:01 PM

Lol@Cher mixed with Madonna. That about sums her style up. I think she's a lot more talented than either though.; March 31, 2010 at 9:42 PM
Don said...: I showed my 16 year old daughter this video last night and asked if she knew the woman?

It took all of two or three seconds before she replied, "Lady Gaga."

See, I thought I had a secret or something. LOL!; April 1, 2010 at 5:07 AM

Soldier Of Love

I've lost the use of my heart
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It's a wild wild west
I'm doing my best

I'm at the borderline of my faith,
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I'm still alive

I'm a soldier of love.
Every day and night
I'm soldier of love
All the days of my life

I've been torn up inside (oh!)
I've been left behind (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive

In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive

I am love's soldier!

I wait for the sound
(oooh oohhh)

I know that love will come (that love will come)
Turn it all around

I'm a soldier of love (soldier of love)
Every day and night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life

I am lost
But I don't doubt (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive

In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive

I am love's soldier!

I wait for the sound

I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around

I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier

Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(4x)

I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier

Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(3x)

Still waiting for love to come
