Lady GaGa took to the stage on last night’s American Idol to perform her current single ‘Pokerface’, which coincidentally hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 yesterday. While the vocals were questionable (very, in places), I did enjoy the performance on the whole. GaGa definitely serves as a much-needed breath of fresh air in today’s formulaic industry.
Tidbit: GaGa’s #1 with ‘Pokerface’ is notable, as she joins a list of select few who have managed to hit #1 their with first and second singles. Go GaGa!
