And The Oscar Goes To Lady Gaga

And The Oscar Goes To Lady Gaga … She is brilliant and can perform any style of music – and that is a fact!  Lady Gaga wowed us all with her perfectly sung “Sound of Music” medley on the Oscars last night.  Her technique and pitch (and not to mention, her grace) were so on point that the Dame Julie Andrews herself gave her some serious props for her performance. The hills were so alive … and that’s thanks to you, Lady Gaga.  I was always a fan and had no idea I could love you even more!  Brava!

Meeting Julie Andrews back in ’08 at an ASCAP event was one of the highlights of my life.  I was beyond star struck.  She was so wonderful and kind and gracious. It’s so hard to believe that The Sound of Music is 50 years old.  I remember seeing it for the first time when I was about 5 and I knew right then that I wanted to sing and make music the biggest part of my life.  Thank you, Julie Andrews.
