Lady Gaga Heats Up the 'Today' Show

By Ashley Iasimone Posted Jul 9th 2010 10:45AM

Lady Gaga took over Rockefeller Plaza on a hot and humid New York Friday to perform on the 'Today' show for a crowd of an estimated 20,000 people.

The singer started her set with the classic Gershwin ballad 'Someone to Watch Over Me,' wearing an all-white ensemble of pants, a bra and a blazer. With dancers backing her, she took off the jacket and launched into her hit 'Bad Romance.'

Before continuing the performance, the hosts of 'Today' talked to Gaga about the realities of fame and her new music.

"There are certainly things that are difficult to deal with," Gaga said. "But the kind of fame that I cherish is the relationship I have with my fans."

Lucky for her fans, Lady Gaga then performed 'You and I,' a brand new song from her upcoming record. The singer sat alone at her piano to play the soulful rock ballad and climbed atop it for the finale of the song.

After a break, Gaga returned to the stage in a black version of her previous outfit to sing 'Alejandro,' encouraging her "little monsters" to put their hands up. She closed her set with a performance of 'Teeth.'

she sings good but not much if you think of hitting the tone right.. but she rocks, attractive and well, overrated... she is not so beautiful/sexy but she has great appeal to people and the best thing is she wrote songs that keeps everybody singing with and talking about..
