Lady Gaga before she became famous (VIDEO)

November 20, 2009 New York City, music, video Comments Off

Hard to believe, but singer Lady Gaga used to perform in a more restrained and traditional manner. At that time, she went by her birth name Stefani Germanotta and attended New York University.

Check out this video from the NYU Inter-Residence Hall Council of Lady Gaga singing and playing piano  at the NYU Ultraviolet Talent Show. She ended up coming in third place.

The first song is called Captivated and the second one is Electric Kiss.

The best part is that one of the judges said she thought Lady Gaga would be the next Norah Jones. Perhaps you could see why she said that, but uh, no, not exactly Norah Jones…

Thanks to Jay-Z I have a new New York anthem:

In New York, concrete jungle where things are made of… there’s nothing you can’t do… Now you’re in New York… these streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you…
