Lady Gaga is from an objective point of view a good artist.

That's it, no Poker face reading for you.  The p-p-p-poker stutter was becoming impossible anyway.  I thought I was getting a real stutter.

[I'm actually not a super RMR poetry fan, just his letters to a poet... a.k.a me...]

I think it's far more interesting to hear her interpretations of obscure or less well known songs that SHE loves, and I think those are the covers that turn out the best for her to be quite honest. Like the Umbrella cover, it had just been done SO much, I think it was like officially the most covered song for that year or something.

Really? I don't know of anyone else covering Umbrella, though I suppose they must have been out there, and I prefer the actual-Amanda-singing-Umbrella that occured over the pantomime-only versions.

BUT, around NYC last summer/fall, there were at least two girls covering Creep on uke, so, um....

(No, I don' remember the other artist, but I can go find it....)

I loved Amanda's cover of "Umbrella," but Manic Street Preachers also covered it.

If Mike Patton can do it, AFP can do it too.

In fairness, Lady Gaga maybe a commercial pop monster, but at least she's an interesting one who can write songs.

Ingrid Michaelson also did Creep on uke in '08. Didn't hear it, heard about it.

She also plays the ukulele live even though she's mostly at a piano (and in some cases guitar).


Amanda must be a poseur, huh?*



*sarcasm aimed at comments posted on Amanda's ODDVILLE Creep performance on youtube... as if it is ever "original" to cover a song [though, it can be]
