well she has my support ever since i saw her on the ellen degeneres show because
1) her performance was focused, theatrical, musical and entertaining
2) she played piano and i've learned she writes her own songs - a big plus - (and they are catchy and have humor to them)
3) she has a cool personality - very grateful for her success and not a dunce (also, she's been at this music thing her whole life and she paid dues)
and
4) . . . . . .
she's a born and bred new yorker.
in addition, she stood up for the gay and lesbian community's rights so ...why not! alot of these new artists only care about clothes/jewerly - at least she believes in something
go get it gaga - nyc has your back ! !
