A confession
Dec. 18th, 2009 12:30 pmI am so obsessed with Lady GaGa's song "Paparazzi," that...I want to see someone do an a capella arrangement of it.
Can you feel it? Would that not be the technical performance achievement of the decade?
Also: if Lady GaGa had appeared about ten years ago, I would have dismissed her as one more specimen of the Spears/Aguilera/Simpson breed and despised her on principle, but since it is not ten years ago, and I am old and traumatized rather than young and sheltered, I think she's brilliant. I'm willing to bet that when she goes outside in plain clothes, natural hair and clean face, nobody recognizes her, and that is the smart way to do pop stardom.
But my point is: Paparazzi, a capella. How many different types of vocal talent would that take?
