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.
wow.
this song was always stuck in my head, we did a dance number to it, but chris made this song his own
just like her did on idol
lady gaga had better watch out
cause that song could be taking over her pokerface .
He might be even better then Lady Gaga.
And trust me that's good.
I hate how the majority of you people are so critical and kind of a bunch of idiots. Seriously how many of you really know anything about music? If you don't like it turn it off, otherwise sit down and use some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. But i guess that is too much for the negative close minded brains of those with such negative comments
I now think that song is tolerable!
Well done!!!!!
You say grow up. What the hell is that supposed to mean???
The original artist of this song is called lady gaga. A guy who goes by his own name and not some slutty persona, is a wimp? You need to remove your head from your rectum and grab a clue. Just because you don't like something, does not mean that it is bad. I can't stand Mariah Carey, but the girl can sing like a futher mucker.
You blither on like an oxygen pirate about nothing, you ignorant ponce!
And I saw Lady Gaga perform once and I think I got a social disease just from looking at her. And that was through the television!
