Lady Gaga Challenged to Singing Contest for $1 Million

Posted by Chase Jackson On October - 26 - 2010

Alisa Apps, the new YouTube sensation who just landed herself a record deal after a video of hers performing the cut “How Do I Make it Right”, which would appear in her debut release, was seen by more than a million YouTube viewers, has called out Grammy Award winning performer and pop-dance diva Lady Gaga to a public sing-off.

Apps wanted the challenge to be televised and be held either at the Madison Square Garden in New York City or at the O2 Arena in London.  The newcomer wanted to take down the flamboyant and theatrical “Bad Romance” singer to give “people a chance to choose which they prefer – plastic or real”.

In a press release, Apps said that she “feel[s] sorry for Lady Gaga” as she is forced to be like a “plastic doll” as concocted by “music money marketing machine[s]”.

As of press time, Lady Gaga who is currently in the midst of her “Monster Ball” world tour, has still yet to give a comment.

Lady Gaga Becomes First to 1 Billion Hits on YouTube

Posted by Chase Jackson On October - 25 - 2010

“We reached 1 Billion views on youtube little monsters! If we stick together we can do anything. I dub u kings and queens of youtube! Unite!”

That is the tweet posted by Lady Gaga on her Twitter page, thanking her millions of fans or “little monsters”  which helped her achieve another momentous feat, this time in video streaming website YouTube.

On Sunday morning, Gaga have set the standard high for other music acts by being the first artist to have achieved a billion worth of views on the said website, a cumulative figure garnered from all of the countless views from her various music videos.

But insiders foresee a dethronement in the works, by no less than hair flipping Canadian heartthrob, Justin Bieber.

The 16-year old pop star is just barely 40 million views short of toppling the pop-dance diva of her YouTube throne especially since he still holds the mark for the most number of views for a single video with his breakout hit “Baby” reaching a little over than 365 million views.  Bieber may be trailing behind but only by a slim margin which he can definitely close, insiders say, by November 1.

So watch out Gaga, better warn your little monsters or the “Beliebers” may just eat them alive, on YouTube, that is.

Lady Gaga Ponies Up for Her Old Demo Recordings

Posted by Chase Jackson On October - 14 - 2010

One of the most intriguing items being offered at a recently auction held in New York called “Gotta Have It!  Rock & Roll Pop Culture!” was a collection of seven unreleased discs of Lady Gaga recordings that the singer made last decade under the name Stefani Germanotta.

Instead of having the Little Monsters get into a bidding war in order to hear the pre-Gaga music, the management team for Lady Gaga bought up all seven discs before they were put up for auction for a sum of money that was undisclosed, according to a press released issued by Gotta Have It!  Each disc was to have had a minimum bid of $1,000.

Bob Leone, the first manager for Gaga, put the seven discs up for auction.  They included a demo CD recording from 2002, two recordings from 2005 called Stefani Germanotta Band and Stefani Germanotta, two other discs that featured songs that were recorded by Lady Gaga in 2006, and a DVD from 2006 of Lady Gaga’s showcase performance for the Order Sons of Italy in America.

Peter Siegel, co-founder of Gotta Have It! told Reuters, she wanted to buy them, so an offer was sent to her on Bob Leone’s behalf.  She sent in a counter offer and the deal was made.
