Madonna blond or Madonna brunette? Madonna started her career as a blond and though her style changed between the "Like A Virgin" to "True Blue" albums, it was not until "Like A Prayer" that we really got the power brunette look. I sense a "Like A Prayer" moment coming for Lady Gaga soon….. Just a matter of time….

I like the "rip-mix-burn" Teacher as a DJ metaphor proposed by "Iterating Towards Openness". I promise to refrain from changing the lyrics of Just Dance to match this concept, but I will tell you that, "I’ve had a little bit too much…", is actually "… a little bit too much of boring lectures". So remember to Strike A Pose!

Yay! Just Dance by Lady Gaga is finally No 1 in the US. Great song, but I’d thought the US would not notice a pop song, and as the song had not charted initially I had all but given up. ……but slowly and surely Just Dance climbed to No 1 over a 22 week period, totally powered the by reflections from all the disco balls in the video. I can’t be happier for Lady Gaga to crack both the US and UK markets. Just Dance is tipped to be No 1 in the UK this week. The US and UK are behind - Australia having already embraced "The Fame" for most of 2008.

… And Lady Gaga celebrated the No 1 single by singing with a live band on the Tonight show (Jay Leno) with an electronic glove thingy and skin colored pantyhose. Oh wait, was that origami she was wearing????

Wow — Lady Gaga is amazing but never thought she would have this success so fast. Poker Face is NO 1. …And Yay for Chace Crawford being in the vid.

It is a great time for Lady Gaga to release her vid for Beautiful Dirty Rich. Yes, Gaga burns and eats money in the midst of an economic crisis. Great visuals, unique song - “Honey, but we got no money”.

Yes, due to a technical glitch, Lady Gaga had to lipsync to Just Dance on Sunrise (Channel 7). Lady Gaga can’t lipsync very well, which really is not a bad thing. Lada Gaga sings well live - just accept it.

Lady Gaga was on TRL, MTV. Kinda funny that she described Madonna with the same words that she would use to describe herself - “Who really can mess with Madonna? Nobody … and her stage and her videos are always amazing and the visuals, its about more than just the music, its about the fashion, its about the whole package.” A cool tribute coming on M’s bday.

Check out the vid at 4:00 mins:

I want a duet between Madonna and Lady Gaga, NOW.

The screengrab says it all really…..

Just watched Lady Gaga’s performance on So You Think You Can Dance (US version). She really was not kidding when she said she would be making new gadgets (electronic gadgets to be exact) and lots of em. I totally loved the “video display sunnies” at the start. The performance was awesome - she has a great stage presence and total confidence. Most importantly, she sang live and her voice was awesome. Are there realy any limits to her talent? She can do more than Just Dance - sing, write songs (while thinking about what she will wear when performing the song), make electronic gadgets and design clothes. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, you can see the performance just a few hours after the show aired. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJZD2swCidc Just Dance!!!

We are only a few minutes into the career of Lady Gaga and already we have so many memorable moments.

1. The video for Just Dance. So many mirror balls of all sizes. Was that a Mirror ball bra???

2. Best quote from a songwriter ever - “When I write music I think about the clothes I will have on when singing it”. Now that is multi-tasking to the extreme. Yeah - doing it for The Fame…

3. Lady Gaga will dance (as a shout out) so long as she has Hairspray - they type that was banned in school apparently.

4. Guess who was not a Miss Universe contestant but kinda won anyway…

5. Has anybody seen her “Disco Stick“? Apparently she makes devices and more are planned. Engineering skills toooooo.
