At Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball last Thursday in New York City, Lady Gaga graced the crowd with a brand new, rock-tinged piano ballad titled 'You and I.'
"This song is very, very dear to my heart, and I just wrote it," Gaga said in her introduction. "It's a bit of a rock 'n' roll tune, which means it will most likely never get used as one of my singles."
The scantily clad singer gave a beyond-energetic performance, jumping up on the piano bench and pumping her fist, absolutely nailing the tune that "no one's ever heard before ... ever." See the video after the jump!
"New Song. Written in NY on the piano I grew up on," Gaga tweeted, linking to the bootleg video you can enjoy here:
Lyrics we were able to glean:
It's been a long time since I came around
It's been a long time, but I'm back in town
And this time, I'm not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me
Oh, I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
Yeah, this time, I'm not leaving without you
He said sit back down where you belong,
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on'
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time, and you said to me
Something, something about this place
Something about lonely lights and my lipstick on your face
We love a catchy, dancey Gaga tune as much as ... well, everyone ever, but this passionate rocker is certainly tasty. And it's great to get back to the music de Gaga, rather than the spectacle and the Seinfeld feud.

That's a nice dress Lady GaGa's wearing, but that humoungous hat has got to go. She's trying too hard to be Madonna, but there can only be one of the material girl, and there's only one Lady GaGa. Between the 2 of these artists, I prefer Madonna. Something has to be done, so that she doesn't push herself too far over the edge, as far as fashion. I never said this about Britney Spears, but that's because I had a big crush on her in 1998. As for Lady GaGa, let's just say I could be a bigger fan. However, I'm not sure where her career is headed, if she keeps on breaking dress codes like this.
She may have talent,but so what!! Why do we have to wade through all the B.S.to get to see it...She popular, Elizabeth, because people like you buy into crap like that...when are people going to realize the difference between substance and some made up persona that has been done thousands of times before...not to mention that anyone with the gall to act outrageous could do that...shes no lady, shes a joke and she knows it...
It's nice to see her playing real music, something we all know she's quite capable of as a singer and songwriter. I'd hope at some point, now that she's got everyones attention through gimmicks and showmanship, that she'll start releasing more stuff like this...real songs played by real people..not the synthetic Brave New World soma music she's known for.
You are almost a forty year old man so I guess you wouldn't like her. But why do you keep saying you want to see Miley Cyrus naked even though you said you were getting married? Are you a troll or just can't stop looking at the young girls?
Yo, I was stunned. This chic isn't a studio astist with enhanced voice. She did this live and I liked it. It shows that she has range and honest skills. Sure, she's a little crazy but who isn't surviving in this age of econical and environmental issues. Gaga knows that when people say bad stuff about you you're a star. Its when they stop insulting you that you're not. Stay unpredictable, Baby.
You cant say she doesnt get into her music or what she is doing...lol...She is def more intertaining than most of the singers out there today...And its a decent, mellow, catchy tune...
FINALLY MET HER MATCH, THEY ARE BOTH EXTREMELY TALENTED, BUT BOTH EXTREMELY NUTS! SHE KNOWS HOW TO SMOOZE HER WAY TO THE TOP, AND CANNOT EVEN WALK THRU AN AIRPORT LINE, IN HER GET UP, AND FALLS ON HER FACE LIKE THE FOOL SHE IS. IF THE AMERICAN PARENTS DON'T WAKE UP YOUR KIDS WILL BE LED RIGHT OFF A CLIFF IN LIFE BY THIS CREEPY WOMAN WHO SAYS RIGHT OUT, SHE WANTS TO CHANGE OUR CHILDREN NOT TO BELIEVE IN WHAT THEIR PARENTS HAVE TAUGHT THEM. AND AT THAT SAME TIME SHE SAID SHE IS GLAD KIDS ASK AND WONDER IF SHE HAS A PENIS,,,,,SHE IS AS SICK A ELTON, AND SHE PROVES IT LIKE THESE JUMPING ON THE PIANO, SHE IS NOT LIBERACE, AND SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK WHERE SHE CAME FROM! SHE NOW MAKES A FOOL OF HER ARROGANCE AND SELF IMPORTANCE. GO HOME LITTLE NAKED FOOL, BACK TO THE BARS WHERE YOU CAME FROM, AND TAKE YOUR CANCER STICKS WITH YA!!
Kinda sounds like she turned a page from Bob Seger. Im not a big fan of her usual genre, (pop music) but she is a talented artist. And hell, not saying she's a roll model, but her public antics have nothing to do with the quality of music that she produces.
Naturally the writer of this poorly done article doesn't know that Lady Ga Ga has tried to imitate Jerry Lee Lewis, in her piano playing and bench knocking over or shoved back antics.
This time, by jumping on the piano stool she copied Little Richard.
She's been doing this all along, but writers such as this article writer don't understand that's more than 2 years old.
Ga Ga can't play the piano like those listed. She's not much of a piano player, but it allows her to get those attention grabbing moments.
At least it's not Mariah Carey or Chritina trying to pretend their "high notes" are unusual, which they are not at all.
For NOT being Beyonce or that "beat me, please" Rhinanna, Lady Ga Ga deserves credit.
(By the way, Rhinanna set a fine example for young girls by NOT doing something about her abuse RIGHT AWAY. A role model? Never. Unless she's a role model for abuse and stupidity).

More crappy music for f*gs and their hags. I've seen drag queens doing a better Madonna imitation than her.

I am fifty years old and think she is the most creative talent I have seen since Madonna,Plus she has an incredible voice.
