I’ve mentioned previously in my blog and on facebook that I have a new found respect for Lady GaGa.. In an era of Lip Sync and fraudulent performances, Lady G really delivers on all aspects of her show. She writes music, she ACTUALLY sings, she plays and she entertains.. Wanted to take this opportunity to share some interesting Lady GaGa clips of her live shows.

Lady GaGa does an instudio performance of Paparazzi

Lady GaGa performs an acoustic version of Poker Face live on Japanese television

Lady GaGa performs an solo version of Speechless

Bad Romance live on the Ellen show

Bummer.. Ellen has locked everyone out of embedding this clip.. you have to watch on YouTube Great performance and worth the watch.

Philip Nelson runs the TriCaster during a live Yamaha webcast for Alicia Keys.

Today i’m at NAMM (National Association of Music Marketers) in Anaheim, CA. I’m out here helping Yamaha stream a live press conference for 11 time Grammy winner, Alicia Keys. After the live webcast, Alicia treated everyone to a solo concert featuring her new sound and a very nice Yamaha Avant Grand piano. I will post a link to the archive of the event when it’s posted by Yamaha.
