subject: Lady Gaga Tickets - Fit For A Queen? [print this page] The "Paparazzi" pop performer Lady Gaga recently had to tone down her outlandish onstage costumes for an evening with the Queen of England. It's unclear whether the songstress traded her signature whiskey for a cup of tea, but Lady Gaga overlooked the bizarre ensembles in her closet for a more dressed down number as she joined Michael Buble, Miley Cyrus and Whoopi Goldberg for the annual Royal Variety Performance.
Word has it that the Queen had not listened to Gaga's tracks previously, but perhaps the singer's latest show convinced Her Majesty to update the song set on her iPod. Get a pair of Lady Gaga tickets online.
Gaga's presentation for the Queen was not the only event scheduled on the singer's itinerary while she was in the U.K. She also made an appearance at the Jingle Bell Ball, where she reverted back to her crazy-wear with a red leather bikini, knee-high black boots and fishnet stockings. She then strolled over to the X-Factor, where she performed "Bad Romance" in an enormous gothic-style costume complete with wings and horns.
Lady Gaga is best described as a theatrical dance-pop performer who only recently made a splash on the music scene with her debut chart-topping single "Just Dance." She refuses to be overlooked and never seems to be short on ideas for highly unusual costumes - and she even dates her costumes to the extreme, when she brought Kermit the Frog as her date for the 2009 VMAs, much to the consternation of Miss Piggy apparently. It was nonetheless another unique accessory.
Before there was Gaga, there was Stefani Germanotta, who attended the private all-girls Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart before she decided that she was much more influenced by glam rockers like David Bowie and Freddy Mercury. And before she became a regular household name she was part of a performance art show called Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue. Gaga, along with Lady Starlight, would appear as a burlesque dancer at various clubs throughout Manhattan, and the pair began experimenting with outrageous fashion trends. Soon enough people took notice, and how could they not?
Lady Gaga presented her debut album The Fame in 2008. The album roared up the charts and thrived with the immensely popular club-inspired tune "Just Dance." Other popular ballads on the effort included "Poker Face," "LoveGame" and "Paparazzi." Lady Gaga had emerged from her minor New York stint as a seedy burlesque dancer to one of the top acts in the world in only a year's time, and it feels like she's been on the scene longer than that.
Gaga's songs may not have much meat to them; they are simplistic and materialistic and it's hard to discern what the message really is (if there even is one). But Lady Gaga recently took her show all the way to Buckingham Palace, earning an attentive audience from the world's most well-known royal family. Gaga's daring dance moves, pop ballads and creative fashion ensembles have put her at the top of the charts, and we'll see where she's headed next.
