Singer Lady Gaga on Monday gave a
stunning performance on The Howard Stern Show.
With only a piano and a microphone, the
25-year-old Lady Gaga left Howard Stern stunned. “I think I'm in
love with you. I want to marry you,” he said after her
performance. (The audio is embedded in the right panel of this

Near the end of the interview, Michael
'high pitch Mike' Morales thanked Lady Gaga for her support of gay
rights, bringing the singer to tears.
“I just wanted to say that this is
more than about your music. You have changed so many millions of
youths, gays lives,” he said. “When I hear your song I think
about the people who have been kicked out of their homes, who have
thought about slitting their wrists. You've saved lives, whether you
know it or not. You're changing the world.”
“Thanks,” an emotional Lady Gaga
responded.
“I came out both because my mother
told me she would disown me if I was gay and a little bit of
bullying, both outside in the world and even with one of the staff
members here, but you are a hero, a musical icon, a legend. And the
fact that you're here with Howard today is changing my life.”
“Wow,” Lady Gaga said. “Well,
you just changed mine, too.”
Afterward, along with a photo from the
interview, she tweeted to her nearly 12 million followers: “Just
left @HowardStern, rockers with long hair have a sweetspot for girls
like me. He was a doll. :)”
