Welcome to Young Hollywood. com.

Lady Gaga

Hello, my name is Lady Gaga, and you are watching Young Hollywood with the House of Gaga.

Young Hollywood

Hey Young Hollywood, I am Michelle Marie and I'm here with Lady Gaga. and I have to say, she is a lady of style.

Lady Gaga

You know, I'm just very inspired by everything that's going on always and right now I'm a bit inspired by Margella. So I'm in a a shoulder pad phase if you will.

Young Hollywood

Well, I've heard that you are saying that you are going to change the world one sequin at a time.

Lady Gaga

You know, it's really sort of just a metaphor for changing the world in more ways than just with the music. It's about the fashion, the lifestyle, the vision and the performance art.

Young Hollywood

There's nothing else I can tell us a little bit about your sound.

Lady Gaga

It's definitely pop 150,000%, but we've got some '80s, we've got a little '70s trash glam in there. It's pretty eclectic. I would say theatrical pop music.

Young Hollywood

There's a big performance going on. You're here at the 944 event. What what can we expect from you?

Lady Gaga

It's going to be a definitely emotional experience for all of you. It's a pop show. It's very dramatic. House of Gaga, which is my creative team, we've really put our heads together and designed some pretty impressive devices and things on stage that will be different, very fresh, very forward thinking.

Young Hollywood

And tell us about the ladies behind you.

Lady Gaga

This is Dina and this is my girl Pepper. And I've really been searching for some time now for two women to be on the stage with me that I felt I could take around the world and have them really say what I was trying to say. I found them and they're my they're my angels.

Young Hollywood

I know that you also collaborated recently with Koby Adonnis.

Lady Gaga

I've actually known Koby for a very long time. I knew him before Acon. She got because I was working with Acon writing for another artist. And I happened to just meet Koby one day. And sonically he just sounded like killer and I just said he's the guy. You really don't get anywhere being lazy. It's about hard work and a good ethic.
