Lady Gaga sings National Anthem
February 24, 2016
As she waits to leave the crowd speechless Lady Gaga sings the national anthem at Super Bowl 50 on February 7. Gaga made a snapchat account to record her day before performing. She recorded her warm-up vocals, her manicure, her outfit put together, and her makeup, making sure everything was patriotic.
It was a surprise to most that Gaga stuck to something patriotic and did not wear something ridiculous as to what she is known for. During her early career, she would wear things like one of her most absurd outfits, is the meat dress, but as the years went by she started wearing less and less of nonsense fashion and wearing more of what most consider “normal.” Gaga made an outstanding appearance at the 2015 Grammy’s by wearing a silver sparkly dress by Brandon Maxwell.
Jennifer Garcia, 9, has been a fan of Gaga for three years; she has enjoyed all different stages of her.
“I love the way she expresses her individuality,” Garcia said. “She is one of a kind.”
Gaga’s extraordinary voice made a comeback at the Super Bowl 50, similar to what she did at the 2015 Grammys. She had very well timed vocal runs, small pauses that would let the crowd capture her abilities, but not long enough as to where it made it seem she needed to catch her breath. The start of the anthem was a subtle introduction as to how it was going to finish. She finished by hitting a magnificent high note, holding it and sounding louder than the airplanes that flown over her.
Faith Minor, 12, a fan was at a loss of words during the performance.
“I was not surprised because I knew her performance would be amazing,” Minor said. “Her voice was very strong and passionate.”
Aside from her old fans, new fans were applauding for her extraordinary performance. This performance let her reveal her true self and gain the respect from those who doubted her.
Alondra Espinoza, 11, is not much of a fan but was impressed by Gaga’s performance.
“I was really surprised when I saw her perform,” Espinoza said, “If she keeps this up I will definitely be listening to her.”
Lady Gaga remarkably served the performance people were and were not expecting. She definitely grasped a new audience that will now play an important part in her career.

“There are times when I find myself lashing out and I understand their point of view,” Lopez said. “They have taught me that you will fail and it’s okay and you just need to keep trying until you reach your goal.”
During Lopez’s summer vacation her freshmen year she met new friends with One Direction’s music. They all met in line for a One Direction movie at the Krikorian theater in Downey.
“Daisy and I met the summer of freshman year, waiting in line for the One Direction movie. She was with her best friend and I was with mine; she was behind me,” Ariana Barrios said. “We then decided to sit next to each other for the movie and once it was over we exchanged numbers and eventually became the best of friends, like all of us; it’s a squad.”
The music she listens to really does present her personality. Today they are not bad influenced music; they are more of a mellow, calm type. An alternative is also fun bringing out enthusiasm just listening to it. Learning a thing or two listening to the lyrics.
“Daisy’s music changed her for the better, but didn’t completely change her. If anything it helped her bring her true self out,” Megan Ramirez said. “The type of music she listens to is not depressing nor a bad influence. It’s more of having fun and if you make mistakes learn from them.”
Lopez first started listening and getting involved with music around the age of seven, she was influenced by her older sister hearing her music around the house, later she started listening to the same then to her very own taste she’s been hooked ever since.
