The Return of Egyptian Lady Gaga

As posted some time back, there is a strange series of CDs attributed to "Lady GaGa" which have nothing at all to do with our Lady Gaga. These CDs contain traditional Egyptian music with song titles that will not win a Pulitzer price any time soon. I have posted two songs (with 'Lady Gaga' in the title) from one of these discs for download. But be forewarned: this is really horrible stuff, so don't come complain to me when your ears start bleeding.

The Dancers

Fans who have been at the Monster Ball shows will have witnessed the amazing contributions by the Lady Gaga dance team. Here's pictures of the dancers at Monster Balls I attended in Boston, New York City, and Toronto, July 2010. They are the bestest dancers and the hottest of souls. See them!

Collectors Corner Update

Just a few of the recent additions to the GagaFrontRow music collection. There will be more to follow, along with an important update on collecting Gaga.

The Fame - Rumania (2009). This recent addition brings the

total of international editions of The Fame to at least 34.

The Remix - Download card with individual code (Colombia, 2010).

On The Record (2010). An unofficial CD with cover songs and video

documentary. I really hope these are the worst covers out there...

Two unofficially released Chinese magazines that include a CD:

Vogue: Lady Gaga! (China, videoCD & 60-page magazine, 2010).

Oh My Lady Gaga (CD & 162-page magazine, 2010)

Check the Gaga Music Collection page for more info.

The Dolls

Imported from the Ukraine, here's a beautiful set of custom-made nesting dolls featuring various images of Lady Gaga. Each figurine in the five-piece set is hand-carved out of linden wood and hand-painted and varnished to protect the unique designs. Nesting dolls, also called matryoshka or babushka dolls, are of decreasing sizes with each smaller doll placed into a larger one. This Lady Gaga set features scenes from the Brit Awards, Jet Nightclub, Glastonbury, and publicity shots of Just Dance.

FYI, the dolls were obtained from a manufacturer whose work can be

viewed on this site (which is not associated with gagafrontrow.net).

The Kidz

Fans who have been at the arena Monster Ball shows will have witnessed the amazing musical contributions by the Lady Gaga band. Here's pictures of the band members at shows I attended in Boston, New York City, and Toronto, July 2010. The Kidz are the bestest musicians and the warmest of souls. Hear them!

Lady Starlight

Lady Gaga's long-time friend and collaborator Lady Starlight is dj'ing on the Monster Ball Tour! She is an expert of hard rock, glam rock, and heavy metal. Gaga acknowledges Starlight's influence during the early New York days, especially in establishing herself as a performance artist. These are some of my pictures from the Monster Ball shows in New York City, July 9, 2010 (Raven t-shirt) and Toronto, July 12, 2010 (jump suit).

Check out Lady Starlight on MySpace and elsewhere.

Lady Gaga @ Air Canada Centre, Toronto, July 12, 2010

Some of my pictures of the Lady Gaga Monster Ball at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, July 12, 2010. My 26th Lady Gaga concert and 12th time front row floor. This was one hell of a monster show with tons of crazy Canadian superfans!
