JPM 781 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The only sad thing is years go by so fast... I mean 5 years... I started listening Gaga when I was very young (10/11 years old) and the only song I knew was Poker Face and then Just Dance and now I'm 15 and I'm waiting for her 4th album, she has changed, I have changed, but so quickly. It's like I'm counting my years with her music and I don't know if this is nostalgic or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald 13,681 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It's so weird and random that I happened to be watching the Miss Universe pageant when she performed/ I remember seeing her for the first time on there, and then not hearing about her for a few months. Then, overnight, she was everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
