A rising star in the music world had the amazing opportunity to work with the iconic Elton John for a truly spectacular and memorable show at a top event in 2010.
In the weeks ahead, Lady Gaga is about to achieve a groundbreaking milestone by being the first artist to appear at three major American television events in one year – the Super Bowl, Grammy Awards, and the Oscars. This incredible achievement highlights Gaga’s exceptional success in the music industry.
It is important to mention that five years ago, she made a memorable debut at the Grammys, captivating audiences as she kicked off the show with the iconic Elton John by her side. Lady Gaga’s relentless creativity and talent never fail to impress us as she continues to break barriers and make her mark on the entertainment industry.
When the big day came, Gaga had already released a revised edition of her debut album The Fame known as The Fame Monster. This new version included hit songs like “Bad Romance,” “Telephone” (featuring Beyoncé), and “Alejandro.” Her mesmerizing performance at the event perfectly captured the essence of fame and celebrity that connected her two album eras.
Elijah Kelley, who is famous for his part in the movie Hairspray, kicked off the show by portraying the Emcee in Sally Bowles. In a fun twist, a fake factory churns out clones of Lady Gaga, as Kelley sets out to uncover the genuine article among the impersonators.
In a lively musical sequence as he searches, Kelley highlights the special characteristics that distinguish the real Lady Gaga, like her string of five chart-topping songs and her one-of-a-kind skill with a pogo stick. He jokingly mentions that she doesn’t even have a soul, which makes her even more extraordinary.
Decked out in a shimmering green outfit, Gaga graces the stage for her performance of the hit song “Poker Face”. Sporting bright pink upside-down triangles adorning her eyes, her look is as bold and unique as ever. As she starts playing the piano, the music shifts seamlessly into an upbeat dance-pop remix.
In the midst of her performance, Kelley rudely interrupts, stating that Gaga’s music is negatively impacting his business. He goes as far as to call her a “monster” before flinging her into a fiery pit designated for those deemed unworthy.
Gaga is back in the spotlight, this time teaming up with Elton John at a double piano surrounded by ash. With a bold attitude, she declares, “Take note, Hollywood,” before launching into a charming medley of Elton John’s “Your Song” and her own emotional hit “Speechless” from the iconic Fame Monster album. “I dream of shining like a real star!” Gaga passionately expresses.
