Chris Daughtry Goes Gaga!
American Idol's Chris Daughtry is a scruffy, soul-patched, denim-clad, boy-next-door type who traffics in heartland-friendly, somewhat Nickelbackian arena rock. Lady Gaga is an artsy, avant-garde, Brooklynite electro-goddess with a penchant for neon leotards, zippered eyepatches, hairbows fashioned out of actual hair, and divalicious dance-a-teria beats.
Nope, it doesn't seem like these two would have anything in common, musically or culturally. It's pretty difficult to imagine Chris Daughtry ever uttering the line "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick," for instance, or Lady Gaga ever covering a Fuel tune.
But the bottom line is, a good song is a good song is a good song. And there's no denying that Gaga's "Poker Face" is a great song. Even Chris can't deny it. So recently when he performed acoustic and solo on a German radio station, he put on his best poker face and played this dead-serious, surprisingly solid version of Lady Gaga's big crossover pop hit:
Wow!
While it's doubtful that Chris will be working with Gaga's producer RedOne any time soon (as fellow Idol rocker Adam Lambert is currently doing), I must commend Chris for--as Simon Cowell or Paula Abdul might say--making this song his own.
Good Job Chris!
Lady Gaga and Daughtry are tied on this one!
im damned sure that the beautiful lady gaga would be honered..chris loves her song so much that he decided to give tribute to her and her tune in his own artistic way..if i had one wish it would be that she has a chance to actually see this herself...
and yes i guess that everone is entitled to his or her own views on all kinds of whatevers in this world..but for those who arent a fan of lady gaga as there seems to be here on this list..let me say that she is getting to the A list real quickly where rockers are conserned.
she has the look she has the vocals she has the moves and she certainly has the look...whoa deja again.
and in closing how the hell can this song be considered annoying when you hear it on almost every radio station..
