Before Lady GaGa did Jonathan Ross, did she leave her mind behind ? Post-its are useless without the reminder written on them, GaGa !
I’m as big a GaGa fan as they come – but after watching her give the most awkward interview since Meg Ryan, I must reconsider. What hell was wrong with her ? Was it nerves ? Was it an act ? Or maybe just her time of the month ? Whatever it was, it was awkward. No, it was excruciating. (performance included.. but I’ll save that for later)
Defensive, disinterested, stonyfaced and monosyllabic. I couldn’t decide which word best described her during the course of the show, they’re all very fitting. And wtf was with the lavendar teacup ? Ginger tea ? Sure. The reluctance to say her real name, the denial of getting inspiration from other people (LIAR!) – it all added up to a truly awful and complete waste of an interview. The only good bit was when she admitted to having a donkey d*ck. TOLD YA! Anyway, I would’ve preferred to have seen more from Martin Clunes or the surprisingly lovely Hugh Jackman.
I feel bad for Jonathan – hardcore GaGa-ites will say that the interview was bad because the interviewer was bad – but what was he supposed to do ? GaGa was giving him the shortest, bluntest and most dead end answers I’ve ever seen from her. There’s not much you can do with an uncooperative guest. In the end he started poking fun at her which, as you’d expect, put her in a MUCH better mood.
And the performance ? Good lord. She singlehandedly m u r d e r e d her own song. I mean, props to her for trying to change things up – but the screetching ? Screetching is bad. Screetching is what banshees do. GaGa, you are not a banshee. You’re not an alien either, you know what manners are – so when you’re on The Paul O’Grady Show, you’d better use them !
If you’re brave enough, and I really do commend you if you are, check out Lady GaGa screaming for attention (or possibly an exorcist)
Now we really know how to make The GaGa angry.
