Gaga performing Poker Face acoustically, pretty recent. Watching this I feel like I'm looking at Gaga in 40 years, and it makes me really happy for some reason, lol. Just this old glamorous drag queen with a dusty old wig and some sequins, schmoozing with an audience in a cabaret setting. I can see her getting over the top 40 radio grind and becoming this kind of cult figure (like Bette or Cyndi) with a specific legion of fans, and all she really cares about is catering to them. It's kind of bittersweet. This woman was born to perform and she'll be doing it 'til her last breath. <3
Her acoustic performances have such a calming effect on me. They just remind me that even though this era has started with a bit of a misstep that she still has the talent, and the ability and the skill and even if she was never able to catch the magic of TFM again she could just sit down at a piano and slay me
