Lady Gaga has tried to keep a low profile since she underwent hip surgery in March, but her excitement over Wednesday's Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act found her stepping out Friday night to celebrate.

The pop icon has been a major advocator of gay rights since the beginning of her career. Friday night she appeared at a kick-off event for this weekend's New York City Gay Pride celebration. After some short remarks about the battle she's waged along side her gay fans, Gaga surprised the audience with an acapella rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. In honor of the occasion, however, Ms. Gaga decided to change the final line just a bit.

"Oh say does that star spangled, flag of pride yet wave. For the land of the free and the home for the brave."


You can watch Gaga's rendition in the fantastic amateur video captured below.

Ga-ga is to kinky singing what Twilight is to romance.

[video=youtube;ggoswuAS5Gk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggoswuAS5Gk[/video]

There's actually a sort of intimacy expressed, there - and I believe it's actually supposed to be about how a band and audience interact. But the connotation is awesome.

Anyway - Ga-ga is not exactly a bastion of intelligence and should be muzzled by anyone who actually cares to make her look anything other than stupid.

But, there are plenty of stupid people who are tearing up when they hear her say such things, and who believe they're really making a better world.

Honestly, I'm content to let them destroy themselves. I'm a survivalist mentality and my ability to store and recall obscure technical information will be quite valuable in the dark ages they are going to bring upon our nations.

Actually, it's just that song from them that stands out to me. It's her voice and the energy of that song that draw me to it. She's got a nice voice - but she's more subdued in a lot of the other songs she sings - and she's got an awesome punctuation to her belt.

I have two "favorite" bands. After Forever and Nightwish. After Forever had an absolutely amazing vocalist; Floor Jansen. Nightwish has always had a relatively interesting instrumental score and has always had a female vocalist. When I was over in the UAE - I ran into After Forvever under the Zune recommended albums. After hearing Floor - I said: "Man, now I have to wonder what Nightwish would sound like with her as their vocalist."

No sooner than I get back from that deployment, and I find this:

[video=youtube;3brcfttchzA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3brcfttchzA[/video]

This is a song they've not been able to properly perform live ever since their first vocalist left. Nothing against Annette - she just didn't have the vocal cords for operatic singing.

Floor, however, is a ****ing goddess. She joined up with them mid-tour with 12 hours' notice. That was in October - and this was from November or December. She's not even completely settled with the songs - and, in my personal opinion, she sings them better than Tarja (the original vocalist)... because she can more properly put emotion into her lungs.

She also fits in much better with the rock/metal vocalist crowd. She loves performing live and can work a crowd (which is something Nightwish has always been a little weak in).

Yeah - I've got something of a fan-crush.

You'll see why starting around the 9:00 mark. Actually - the song really matures around the 6:00 mark and Floor is delivering an excellent performance at that point.



There could never be enough zombies to kill with a warrior chick at my side to that song.



That's one of my favorite songs from After Forever. There will be an obligatory NaruHina AMV made to that one.

Though I also have a soft spot for Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, and some of the 'classics' (what I 'grew up' washing dishes to in the back of the pub) from Mushroom Head, Megadeth, and a bunch of others that the guys played and I never paid attention to the album/artist.

Recently, I've picked up a liking for Eizenfunk, XRX, Opeth, and some other quirky bands that are largely unknown in the States.

Though I also like to put on some good ol' Two Steps From Hell and other instrumental compositions used for games, movies, etc. I spend hours listening, sometimes, to find the right 'theme' for a segment I want to put into my fanfiction. Such as I have a re-structured 4th Ninja war arc - and I have a sequence where Hiashi and the edo Madara end up facing off... and I ran into "For the Win" within the Skyworld album from Two Steps From Hell - which is what I envision being the music playing during that scene.

I can ramble a long time about how awesome I find music. Which can sound a little odd - given my generally conservative and physics/engineering mindset.

That it is.

My, that's forward.

I appreciate the complement, but I don't just go handing out provocative pictures of myself. Not that I've ever had much of a talent for making myself look appealing in photographs. Most of the time, I look absolutely clueless or like I'm about to steal the cameraman's soul (like my first military ID photo... we'd been standing in line for over an hour, and I'd had to pee since about an hour before that. I was not, in the slightest, amused in my photograph.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic... other than Floor Jansen is better than ga-ga... and probably wouldn't be silly enough to think altering her national anthem ad-hoc to support a political agenda was a good idea. It's been a big post about me and what I like, though. So I suppose it's par for the course.

I wish stupidity was an abomination. You'd be discriminated on all the garbage that you type/talk.
The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

Honestly, though, I consider stupidity an abomination. I don't actually consider the lower 60% of the population to be worth much more than being trainable drones that happen to self-replicate (which can be problematic). The middle 30% tend to be what I would classify as intelligent - with only the top 10% usually giving me solid indications that they have achieved sentience.

That doesn't necessarily mean 'test scores' - but overall ability to learn from and process experiences. Though, to be fair - some people are just highly selective in this regard. Know a guy who was great at figuring out good strategies and setups in computer games... but he didn't get it when it came to table-top games like D&D, for some reason. He'd run outside of his range increment and take negatives to attack rolls unnecessarily... or charge in blindly when melee is supposed to be a last resort....

Which you wouldn't have expected from him, given his ability to work out complex strategies in video games.

.... But I'm rambling again.

I don't care much for Lady Gaga. I'm just not interested in her music. I don't have a problem with her singing the U.S. National Anthem nor do I have a problem with gay pride. I don't even care if the Anthem is sang at an event for gay pride. I'll stand and put my hand on my heart just like any other time I hear the Anthem being played when I'm at any event. I don't like the fact that she changed the words to push her agenda.

Obviously, I didn't even bother to read your garbage. Keep over-analyzing meaningless things to act smart. Go on boy.

Honestly, I wasn't speaking to you. I was speaking about you.

Kind of like how you hold your pet up in front of the class and say a few sentences about him, then continue on by speaking outside the context of the pet.

You need only listen when you're being given a command. The rest is all meant for creatures above your stature.

I am a huge faggot and I take in the ass for cash, 20$ a pop.
You see I'm trying to compensate for something very small, by that I mean my small penis.

You are superior to me, especially Wumbo, Wumbo is my rolemodel and he is a beacon of light.

Now excuse me while I go suck someone's dick for crack.
I fixed it for you, thank me later.

This guy, ladies and gentleman. Desperate as usual to delude the people into thinking he's well educated with excessive, unnecessary fancy grammar, boring puns and examples, and lets not forget that adorable arrogance of his that keeps growing day by day. This 24+ year old fella showing off his god-like wisdom on an anime forum, not with the good-will to inform people, but to feed his own ego. You probably fabricated some of your "achievements" offline
Huh? Cute :3

Comparing me with pets.. xD. Ok then

The rude comments in here are a bit unnecessary. If you don't like her or think she's an "abomination", then why are you in this thread? To give your dull, hateful opinion of someone? No one here cares about your hideous opinion. So save it.
