I was always a fan of Lady Gaga, ever since her first single, Just Dance. Her songs were catchy, though I'm not a huge fan of pop. There was just something about her that I liked.
It wasn't until the MTV Music Awards (which I do not support and find them to be more of a popularity contest than based on actual talent.) when I saw Gagas' performance of Paparazzi, that I actually started to admire her. The performance was like nothing I had ever seen before and I absolutely adored it, it actually really touched me. It was inspired by princess Diana, the costuming was beautiful and I felt the emotion and message she was sending.
I actually saw photos of the performance at first and fell in love aesthetically, but then I found out that they were of a live song that she did. I watched it online and to feel that sort of reaction over the computer was pretty amazing. I wish I saw it live.
I payed more attention to her after that, I really enjoy her creativity, and I'm not just giving her credit, but also the designers and artists that help fuel her creations. I also love that she almost never has anything negative to say about anybody, even when she was facing a lot of criticism for awhile.
I'm glad that all the controversy about her is dying down, I really felt that people just needed something to talk about, that what she was doing really wasn't that controversial.
I continued admiring her but still felt that she sounded just like any other pop singer. That she had talent but came even when it was based off of actual singing. Then I saw her sing Born this Way at the Academy Awards and she actually sounded very good at one part. ( starting at 3:22 )Though I don't like to compare, to me she sounded like Christina Aguilera, whom is a very talented singer.
