Okay, I admit I have never taken the time to watch or listen to Lady Gaga.  All I knew about her (until this week) was her weird costumes, on-stage antics, her LGBT advocacy etc.  Maybe a Madonna wannabe. In other words, I didn’t think she had anything to offer that I would want to buy.

I’m not about to become a Gaga groupie, but I did hear something that amazed me, although I have reason to believe that maybe I shouldn’t be amazed, because this woman has genuine talent!  If you did not watch the Academy Awards on Sunday, then you probably didn’t hear this either; I saw it today at PJMedia.

The other thing I learned this morning via PJMedia is that she recently performed in Tel Aviv, Israel, and said to the crowd:

“Put your hands up and cheer for yourselves,” she told the crowd. “You are strong, you are brave, you are confident, and I f*cking love you, Israel.”

Afterward, she stressed that “the world view of Israel is just not reality.”

“It’s in a beautiful place, the people are in good spirits. I had a very emotional show with those fans. It was wonderful.”
