As did I.
I followed Lady Gaga then about as closely as I follow the Kardashians now. Which is to say I didn't, but couldn't avoid hearing of her because she was in the headlines. So all I knew about Gaga was that she did outrageous things to get attention, had a big following of young people and was seen as somewhat evil by some religious types.
So, when she appeared on Idol, I was struck by how caring and level-headed she appeared.
I read earlier today that the boos heard for her at the Video Music Awards were part of the act. But the boos heard for One Direction were authentic.
Quote:Backstage, the boys ignored the diss and thanked fans. But she of the seashell thong didn't stand for it.
"Don't you dare let those people boo you," Lady Gaga reportedly told the band, according to E! News. "If I did hear what I heard out there, I just want to tell you that you deserve every bit of success that you have. I want to leave right now. I don't want to stay anymore because I don't want to be in a room where people are booing."

...Same as Madonna and Gaga and Katy. (Although I don't think I'd ever consider Katy trashy. She's more of the "look at the cute sexual innuendo I'm making. TeeHee* type, to be honest.)
I didn't see Katy's performance, but the tweets on Twitter indicated she was lip syncing and is a poor live performer. People seem to forgive her for it though.
As likeable as she may be, I think it's a shame someone like Haley is sitting at home while a music awards show highlights performances from people who can't sing as well.
