Lady GaGa Grammy Performance

Here is the video:

It may be taken down, but enjoy it while you can.

The concept of the fame factory is utterly brilliant. The statement that "she has no soul" satirizes the public's perception of Lady GaGa as a soulless being dedicated to fame and money. Her cult-like fanbase is also used at satirical ammunition against criticism that suggests she is creating a legion of immoral monsters. After emerging from a furnace she screams, "Take my picture Hollywood. I wanna be a star!" This again is her social commentary on the obsession with fame.

While playing with Elton John, she looks as if she's in disbelief, like she can't fathom that she's there doing that with him. Watching it feels like you're interrupting a beautiful private conversation. The "thank you, love you Sir Elton John" was also very sweet and quite clever. GaGa ends the performance with a fantastic display of headbanging. Such energy is beyond inspiring.

I want to go LIVE now.
