Gaga for Elton John

Yes, that's right.  Lady Gaga and Elton John paired for an incredible duet during the 2010 Grammy Awards.  After completing a rendition of her song "Poker Face", she continued by playing an accompanying piano with long-time legend, Sir Elton John.  Their duet seamlessly integrated her new song, "Speechless", and his song, "Your Song".  Amazing.

Now, I am both an Elton John and Lady Gaga fan.  I grew up listening to Elton John with my parents and sang along to his cranked up music in the car.  I will admit that.  I will also happily admit that I am completely obsessed with the new wonder woman herself.  Whilst she did not win any Grammy Awards herself that night, her coupling with the legend himself introduced a new era for the singer, proving she is not only a capable performer - holding her own both vocally and instrumentally on the piano - but also an icon who has proclaimed herself as here-to-stay.  I may also suggest that, having collaborated with Sir Elton John at the Grammy's may signal that others in the music industry also expect Lady Gaga to have a long-lasting and influential career.

Her other performances of the night included "Bad Romance" and an array of ever changing, camera-worthy outfits. (personally, I would not have enjoyed sitting behind the ice hat).  Lady Gaga will not only influence the music industry, (she recently released her own brand of headphones, "Heartbeats", a collaborative effort of herself and Dr. Dre), but she will extend her influence into fashion.  Maybe when I have $99 to spend on them, I will follow up with how well they work (unless, of course, someone wants to voluntarily get me a pair?? Anyone?  Anyone???)

Either way, theirs was a much enjoyed performance.  .....I wonder when the duet will be available on iTunes.  Then, I can listen to it with my new headphones.  :-)
