12 year old kid does Gaga.... better than Gaga...

[Dante84]

Let me preface this with; this isn't going to be for everyone. But this 12 year old kid has some GD'D talent. He took her song, reworked it, and even rocked a falsetto in front of a bunch of insecure classmates. That takes some serious balls, and this kid should be commended for it. Look at all the stupid future sluts of America behind him, wanting to tease him. But he's too talented, sluts. Pick on someone else. Boom.

He'll be on Ellen tomorrow. NTTAWWT.

He will probably be the first guy to get laid in his class now...

I had read once that she was classically trained on the piano, never really thought about the fact that she could use that...

I have more respect for her now. At least she can showcase that she has some talent beyond the stage singing (which isn't elite).

FAX,

I think they are thinking of him touching something lower on their body.

1986–2004: Early life

Stefani Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, the eldest child of Italian American parents Joseph and Cynthia Germanotta (née Bissett), in New York City.[2][3] She learned to play piano from the age of four, went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights by age 14.[4] At the age of 11, Germanotta attended Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private Roman Catholic school.[5][6] An avid thespian in high school musicals, Germanotta portrayed lead roles as Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.[7] She described her academic life in high school as "very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined" but also "a bit insecure" as she told in an interview, "I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn’t fit in, and I felt like a freak."[8][9] Acquaintances dispute that she did not fit in school. "She had a core group of friends; she was a good student. She liked boys a lot, but singing was No. 1", recalled a former high school classmate.[10] Referring to her "expressive, free spirit", Gaga told Elle magazine "I'm left-handed!"[11]

At age 17, Germanotta gained early admission to the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. There she studied music, and improved her songwriting skills by composing essays and analytical papers focusing on topics such as art, religion, social issues and politics.[4][12] Germanotta lived in a NYU dorm on 11th Street but felt that she was more creative than some of her classmates. "Once you learn how to think about art, you can teach yourself," she said. By the second semester of her sophomore year, she withdrew from the school to focus on her musical career.[13] Her father agreed to pay her rent for a year, on the condition that she re-enroll for Tisch, if she was unsuccessful. "I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate shit until somebody would listen," she said.[7]

Nope, no girl fights for me. But I saw enough of it to know it when i see it.

Yeah there was absolutely nothing in that video to justify that type of reaction. I think you're projecting something there buddy.
