Vintage Gaga: Raw Music, More Clothing

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 25th 2009 10:38AM

Before Lady Gaga was known for her outrageous fashion statements and "bleeding" onstage at the VMAs, she was just a typical brunette jamming on the piano. We came across this vintage footage (via Perez Hilton) of the 'Poker Face' singer playing a gig at The Bitter End -- and we have to admit it's pretty fascinating.

"Vintage"?! haha, this garbage isn't "vintage", and it's only a few years ago...Vintage? Not! Led Zeppelin's preformance in the DVD/Video "The Song Remains The Same" recorded at Madison Square Garden..great show..now that's "vintage". Just about any live concert vids of Jimi Hendrix..."vintage". Do people these days really think this is good music? lol, this generation's music scene sucks!!

Bunch of haters with low self esteem commenting as usual

By GaGa

LOVE GaGa!

By nycme17

I'm not surprised at all. I could tell right away, she was hiding a whole lot of ugly under all that clown makeup..Cant wait for her to disappear!

By LRF

I don't even know who this IS...

When it comes to the whole entertainment industry there is no shortage of wanna b"s. Most of the one's we see are the one's that manage to get on the tv or radio, we don't see the one's that fall short or fail to find that special gimmick that launches them in front of the world. Lady GaGa did it, she is making money hand over fist no matter what anyone says. Just stay clear of drugs and booze and you should continue to rise Lady. My hats off to you.

By Joe

Wow! I love her with long brunete hair! She's ok now, but, she was way cuter back then. (Also, a bit more talented)

By James

Personally speaking I like a few of her songs. I don't care what she looks like. As long as she can sing what difference does it make what she looks like? If she is happy about that and the changes that's all that matters. But if she compromised her beliefs than that's on her. Only a FEW MEN & Women have been able to pull off some outrageous get ups and make up. KISS/Alice Cooper/Ozzy/Poison just to name a few. It worked for them and they stuck with it. Until the ending of their careers...It was fine back in the 80's but come on. Most people don't care about the make up granted some are into the costumes. Save the theractrial Make up for your videos. I have more repsect for those who Just sing without selling themselves into the fantasy of the music business. Like the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight. Blinda Carlise etc. These artist sang from their hearts and not care about the glitz. And I rather go see these perfomrers than be distracted due to the weird make up or goffy outfits. That's just me though.

lady gaga you suck!

By roofia

she is so weird. The VMA performace was so dumb.
She sings good but i dont know why she wears such weird clothes!

Her music is ok ,but I think she looked better as her self or at least tone it down some. It's suppose to be about her music, every one knows she has a body ,she doesn't have to undress to be noticed.

By wrl

AND JUST WHAT IS IT THAT LADY CACA DOES? OTHER THAN MAKE US THINK HE'S A SHE???

By ket2647

oh look, its back when she actually cared about the music instead of prancing around the stage in clown outfits...

By fay

Gotta have a gimmick..Ridiculous is paying off.

By shmandy

Gaga is extremely talented. She writes her own stuff and has been known to write for other famous artists. Don't hate on her just because she stands out in a crowd. Also, check YOUR mirror before judging her face you clowns!!

By jac

She looks like a rabbit.

By mitch

what a freak, that btch needs to lay off the brown acid.

By Bridge

Well I watch the before and after..versions of Lady Gaga

Why can guys become famous in regular tshirts and jeans - but a woman must get all dolled up to get noticed.

She can play keyboards, sing and now she can dance in her undies too....the world is still very biased on what we find worthy of credit...sad but true.

By FoXXy

So what's the big deal? Darker hair and 5 extra pounds? Didn't we all look different 10 years ago?
