Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. Hey, Young Hollywood, it's Michelle Marie. We're here on the tour bus with pop phenomenon of our generation, Lady Gaga. So we're here for the same ball, and you're going to be performing here at the Wiltern in LA. How excited are you for tonight? Am I gushing? You are. I've been working very hard on the show conceptually and visually. It's a series of fashion and art installations and music and dance. I have to say that I saw you at the Star magazine event and you were amazing. That show was like an old boyfriend that I don't like anymore. This show is just nothing really like what we're going to do tonight. It was my club show.
You've always been on the verge to emerge in our eyes from the very very beginning. We saw you at the 944 event and that was a long time ago. I feel like 100 years. It really does. And then I saw you on set at the Poker Face video as well. It's Michelle Marie with Lady Gaga on the set of your video, Poker Face. What is the whole theme and where did it all come from? The song is about the way that girls catch guys, okay? And how you got to keep your poker face. Now, since then, obviously, you know, you've just emerged into this pop phenomenon and you're definitely defining and changing pop for our generation. How do you feel about this transformation that you've made since I've seen you?
I feel good and I don't really have a tremendous concept of what people think of me. And I try not to care too much. That's a good thing. I make music and I do my show. My wish is that it is beautiful and that it changes lives. Lady Gaga emerged back in New York and you know, you really really worked hard. You didn't just have this handed to you. I'm very focused. Being number one for me is much more about the art and the concept and not as much about the charts. Where do you see yourself going with just the whole presence of Lady Gaga in the next few years? In five years, I'll probably be sitting on a couch very similar to this one talking to you about my sixth record. Maybe fourth.
I don't know. Now, fan experiences. Is there anything that's happened in the past, you know, few months that you can tell us about? I had a really wonderful experience when I was in Ireland, actually. I was having a really horrible day, and I was very emotional. I saw a girl being crushed by the crowd and they pulled her out. Can you go get her and bring her to the back room so I can see if she's all right? And David came in and he said, "Your fan is next door and she's crying because she can't believe that you want to meet her." So I left my room. I was in my underwear, if you can believe this. Went into the other room in my underwear and sat with my fan and cried.
And we cried together and I thanked her so much and that she made me feel so um, so much better. What a moment that was. Such a good, isn't that a good moment? Absolutely. Be good to each other, Young Hollywood. This is Lady Gaga. Bye.
