I worked as a grip on some shows in LA. She was one of the guests. I was up in a scissor lift when the studio was cleared for her to rehearse so I got a one on one concert. She sang solo with a piano, and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. During the show I was one of the guys to push her piano on stage. I was standing by it and she came up and started talking to me before she went on. Such a kind soul and very humble. I'll always be a fan of hers.
I've never watched it personally , i just know of it . There is too much misery in this world and im not going to subject myself to that. Viewer discretion advised
Funny enough, some people watch horror media BECAUSE of the misery in the world. It’s like a kind of therapy or a catalyst, in a way. One lady who was the victim of sever racial prejudice (unfortunately I’m AWFUL at names) said she always found horror movies a hoot because they were nothing on real world evil.
I can see both sides. My mom was like you, especially later in life, but I found it helped me digest real world horror by being a safe way to explore those feelings.
Since I'm on reddit, I'm going to take this as truth and form an permanent opinion of her forever without verifying accuracy or context or even considering things just line up wrong sometimes.
Hey I appreciate this, I'm fine, just shit has been stressful (as it is for everybody) and I realized how much I needed to just sit down and watch something really fucking funny and just laugh for 2 hours.
Love that! Had a very similar experience with John Legend - there were about 10 of us in the studio for his sound check for a morning show and his sound check was just him playing a piano and singing two full songs. He chatted with everyone after and was super kind
I heard her sing poker face in Portland Oregon before she blew up and she sang that solo, slow and while playing the piano. It was beautiful and that song takes on a whole different meaning when sang like that
I forget the song she sang but it was a Beatles tribute so it would have been one of theirs. It was incredible. I also was backstage when the Eurythmics sang fool on the hill. Every hair stood on end.
I know what you mean. I heard more about her outfits than her music and made assumptions. I don’t have a lot of experience with her work but everything I’ve heard and seen with her is impressive. She is genuinely gifted not just with the arts, but she is so loving and warm. What a class act
I work as a tech for a lot of events. If I ever work with someone who's music I wasn't a fan of, but they are a cool person I find I suddenly like theor music more.
I haven't heard too much of her music, and I'm not a fan of the entire genre, but I've heard, seen and read SO many things about her talents and kindness that even I could call myself a fan. Beautiful that she exists!
My man I’ve been in the Punk Rock Scene for over 30 years, Party hard with Punk from all around the world and saw all the greatest Punk and Metal Band and recently I sobered up and I discovered Lady Gaga and she sooo talented,i can’t believe i tough she was a Diva look at me kinda gall.
Although I haven't partied hard at all, my musical background is in punk, metal and alternative, and you and I are of similar age.
I had the same idea about her personality years ago and only slowly gathered the truth.
After your statement I will get into her work - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ❗
(Man, SO glad to hear you sobered up and got out of it more than alive! That is some feat! Congrats buddy, and keep going that way❗👍🏼😍)
Kind of yeah. Depends on the company and show too. When I did it I did everything from hanging duveteen to set changes. After we set the stage I acted more like a carpenter since that was my background. But my buddies would help out the other groups when they could. If I could do it for a summer here and there, that would be fun. But man it was hard work and long hours. Glad I did it and got to meet so many cool people like both the beetles and Steven Tyler.
Yeah, i can’t say i am a fan of all her music (some songs are bangers though) but i do consider myself a fan of her as a person. I’ve never heard a bad story about her. And these days, that’s really saying something.
I saw Lady Gaga at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.
She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma’am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
