I'm all for singers being artistic and what not but am i the only one who thinks this is all just really contrived? Like Jay-z with his Picasso baby performance in that art gallery. I mean I get they want to incorporate high art into their work but it all seems a bit insulting to real performance artists when all this is really being done for is promotion of their new music, both gaga and jayz have albums out/coming out. I guess i would call what their doing "commercial art" or art being produced for money and not for solely artistic purposes. Nothing wrong with that though i guess, Andy Warhol made a career out of commercial art, or art which was actually meaningless but was being used to sell products on a commercial scale under the pretence of it being "artistic".

I agree with you, it does seem rather contrived.

It seems pretty simple to me - the T's, D's, C's etc., are all apart of how she enunciates when she sings so you can understand what she's singing.  She probably learned it when she took classical voice training.  It thus carries over to the music.

 

It's also a sign of all the studio work she's been doing.  Even when she's not singing, it sticks with her.

The accent sounds like Marina to me, slightly Russian or Serbian.

 

Let me just say to all of you that hated Sleeping with Gaga - you're in for a wild ride.  This is just the beginning of her performance art.
