While her career has oft seen her call on and fight for equality for the gay community, today has seen Lady GaGa issue a warning to young women hoping to enter the music industry, doing so via her recent conversation with the ever entertaining Howard Stern.

Mariah Carey she is not, yet there exists a voice in the 20-year-old that we wish she’d tout more rather than the stiff twerking she seems to believe is “all the rage”.

Hence, it was warming to see the ‘Bangerz’ belle bin the theatrics on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge today, where she thrilled with an impressive showing of Lana Del Rey‘s hit ‘Summertime Sadness’.

Check it out after the cut…
