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.

Number one people, she does not flaunt her personal life like many other so called performers do. Yes, she is outlandish in fashion, but that is part of her MO. She can play, she can write and she can choreograph and she is rated as the NUMBER 1 pop artist in the world for 2010. So far she hasnt made a habit of screwing half of Hollywood like Madonna. I have seen all of her interviews and she is humble. People who diss her are small minded, tasteless and hate in their soul. More than likely, those who call her a names because the way she dresses on stage are extremely one dimensional people.
You must have first hand knowledge of being a clown on crack. She has more love in her soul than you could ever hope to have. Hows the weather under that rock by the way?
I think it's so funny that she actually played music that obviously meant something to her then said, it will never be a single on her records. Even she knows that she is just in it to make money with the garbage she puts out. It's all about money because she isn't taking chances releasing stuff she wants, yet people still buy into all this so called originality. I am tired of her, but I would probably respect her more if she was true to herself instead of all the theatrics.

Yes, Lady Gaga can play the piano, I have seen many videos of her fingers on the keys playing. Please, before writing know what you are writing about.
