Lady GaGa on American Idol

Lady GaGa's performance on American Idol last week is the first time I have heard of her. I thought, boy, what am I missing?! I thought it was a super performance and watched it several times.

I've done a little research since then and I want to thank American Idol for allowing an artist whose normal music videos are soft porn posing as art to perform. Her G-rated performance on Americal Idol was in the show's spirit. It was as if she was a contestant and put her own spin on the original artist's work. I loved the mix of music styles in her own song. I honestly prefer it to what she is selling as her normal work.

I was going to download her song to my iPod, but now having seen her video have decided to not support her by adding to her sales numbers. She has two #1 singles out right now so I know she won't miss me. And every now and then I need to take a stand against gratuitous sex - the cool version on American Idol is actually much better than her original (which you can find on the official Lady GaGa YouTube channel.)
