Lady Gaga went on The Jay Leno Show last night to promote The Fame Monster and tossed out a few flip answers to the nighttime host’s questions. When asked how the nuns reacted to the music she performed while still a Catholic school student, she replied, “Well, my music was different when I was in high school. I was singing about love—things I don’t care about anymore.”
Leno also inquired as to what Gaga plans to wear when she performs for Queen Elizabeth II in December. Her reply: “Latex and fishnets.”
Watch the full interview and Lady Gaga’s performance of “Bad Romance” below.
Rumors had begun flying in recent days that Grammy rules would somehow be modified in the eleventh hour so that Lady Gaga could nab a Best New Artist nomination—despite “Just Dance” being in the Best Dance Recording category during the previous ceremony. However, yesterday Pop & Hiss, the Los Angeles Times music blog, reported that a spokeswoman for the Recording Academy said the ballots had already been returned for this year. No go, Gaga.
“Technically, just due to songwriting and things, I’m not a new artist,” the singer told Leno, brushing it off. “But it’s okay. I’ll tell you, the biggest reward for me has been my fans.”
Below is Lady Gaga performing “Bad Romance” on The Jay Leno Show. And is that a pillow shoved up the back of her jacket?
I hope she gets hit by a bus, seeing her ugly face just fills me with rage.
Lady Gaga continues to be completely boring and without substance.
what is she covering her Adam’s apple?
Got curious again — I realize curiosity killed the cat, but I happen to be immortal — so I ran some more numbers.
14 days of ‘Nu-Idolator’
13 Lady Gaga-themed articles
22 articles that mention her
A couple of notes — I probably overlooked some, and those 14 days include weekends, when the only posts are liveblogs nobody reads.
From what I understand, she’s got an album out, and it’ll sell. And she’s a decent-sized star at this point, had some big songs. But why turn your entire site over to what is almost certainly a flash in the pan? Rhetorical question. We’re seeing the moron-ification of what used to be the most intelligent music site on the Internet, where you could actually come and learn something. You reap what you sow.
Also take note that while I typed that, another article that invoked “Bad Romance” went up. Update that to 23 articles that mention her.
@LeBron Wow, it seems like a hell of a lot more.
Time flies when you’re having fun, right? Like I said, I probably missed some.
Yikes – such hateful comments here. What gives? I feel bad for you; so sad you’re so bitter. And I wonder how you’ll deal with Lady Gaga’s success for years to come? Oh well. I love her and enjoy her art every day – she’s an genius.
…and I wonder how long you’ve been frequenting Idolator. My guess is 2 weeks max, right about the time this site became ALL-GAGA, ALL-THE-TIME (with a pinch of Bieber thrown in).
Personally, I actually like Lady Gaga – I just don’t need to know what she is doing on a seemingly hourly basis.
I could ask why it’s news that someone who isn’t eligible in a Grammy category isn’t nominated for it, but the answer would probably just upset me.
Okay, wait!
