jeff s: Dear Amy:
I hope your dream comes true.I think you are the best hostess of any GBLT activity.I hope all is well.
Sincerely,
Jeff Shapiro
WOW! That GAGA! She keeps pushing it further and further and further and
FURTHER. Go on! I predict at this pace she could totally eclipse Madonna as
the most edgy pop star of all time. She just gets it - or can I say that we
as Gays get her. You go girl! Not that I have any understanding of what she
means by a Bad Romance.
;)
Check out the new video for yourself.
(and to think we gave her her big start at Gay Idol in 2008....jk)

Jeff S: On Lady Gaga...yes, we gave her the shot at WCGI 2008 finale and she was amazing and eclecti at Circuit as she is today on tv and VH1....We,the gay community in Chicago,developed and made sure she would be a hot commodity once her performances back then were completed..Nevertheless,she still shocks us as u see in the opening number at the Grammy's 2010 where she is put into a firing vask and comes out w/ Elton John and herself"scarred but not yet deflated and singing an old EJ hit from the 70's w/ piano at hand and voice w/ her mout."..It was a performance of the ages and it put Lady Gaga in a world of praise from her commonhood of celebs and fellow singers/song writers.I was taken back and I know u all were as well..Take care,Jeff S
