Lady Gaga is my hero (and I know nothing about her music).

Her kindness toward the clearly handicapped Liza Minnelli at the Oscars.

Her singing of the national anthem at Biden's inauguration where she punctuated her singing "our flag was still there" gesturing toward the flag at the Capitol just a couple of weeks after the insurrection.

Lady G., I don't know you by your songs, but I do know you about your kind, strong and decent character. Brava.

modern pop stars. His videos with GaGa are magnificent. There are a lot of them, so nust do a search.

I admit to not being overly impressed with 50s crooners, but Bennett is a musician to be admired. The respect and admiration shown between the two is obvious and very real.

My mother was a voice major in college and an amazing singer. Alas, not an inheritable trait I fear.

She was wonderful and out on a good show.

She is my hero raising awareness about Alzheimer’s with Tiny Bennett and Liza Minnelli. The “ I got you “ line made me get teary eyed. My late mother dealt with dementia for 8 years. I work with seniors now moving them into assisted living and it is so stressful at times.

This is a protest song against exploitation here is the explination


https://www.songmeaningsandfacts.com/bad-romance-by-lady-gaga/

Some say it's a protest against the music industry exploitation of women who are in love with Hollywood and are exploited for this "Bad Romance"

Here is the video What a great voice!
