I dunno if AP but "My Meeting with Mother Monster! *Guest blog by Lady Gaga grand prize winner Jessi! Lady Gaga has always been a huge part of my life from the very beginning of her career; through inspiring lyrics and powerful ballads, to quirky outfits and bold statements about always standing up for who you are and what you believe in no matter what the cost, she has changed my life. And this week has been no exception! Thanks to Mother Monster, she teamed up with Prizeo and her amazing charity foundation the Born This Way Foundation to give someone the opportunity of a lifetime to fly to New York City to see her perform at her sold out concert at Roseland Ballroom and have an intimate dinner with her and her family. I stumbled across this contest and I have always been a huge supporter for the BTWF and Lady Gaga’s stance on bullying and representing a more loving and caring world so I was glad to donate to the foundation. Now, let me just tell you that I am the most unlucky person when it comes to contests! I can’t even win a small door prize if I begged so with this donation and entering into this contest I said a big prayer but knew that I had ZERO chance of winning, but I felt great knowing I donated to a cause that I strongly believe in. Weeks went by and the contest finally ended when I got the news that would change a little monster’s life forever: “Hi Jessica, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Our Lady Gaga Prizeo campaign just ended and we have chosen the winner… and YOU have been randomly selected!!†This was the ultimate dream come true for me and I never in my wildest dreams expected something like this could happen to me. This email set everything into motion for the most AMAZING experience of my life! New York City has always been a city on my bucket list to visit, and to get the chance to travel there to see Lady Gaga is so mind-blowing, it still feels like a dream. We arrived on Monday March 31st just hours before her performance at one of her sold out concerts at Roseland Ballroom. At the very beginning of the performance, Lady Starlight performed as a one-woman techno show and totally rocked it! It was a great atmosphere to start the night and everyone was having a blast. Then, Lady Gaga come out to perform her epic song “Born This Way†on the piano and everyone went CRAZY! If you thought Mother Monster could sing, you have never heard her live because she is INCREDIBLE live, especially when it is just her and her piano. Then she performed many hits like “Black Jesus + Amen Fashionâ€,†Monsterâ€,†Bad Romanceâ€, and “Sexxx Dreamsâ€. She performed “Dope†by the V.I.P section of the stage (again, her and the piano!) and it brought me to tears because it was so raw and unbelievable. “You and I†came next along with “Poker Face†which was so fun because it was also piano version and a very different version, it was awesome! After costume change she came out with the song that made everyone fall in love with her in the first place, “Just Dance†which had everyone dancing! Then came “Applause†(and confetti!) and the encore†G.U.Yâ€. where she showed off some amazing dance and vocal skills! I felt like this show was a very personal show between her and her fans, and a perfect transition from the old Gaga to the new ARTPOP Gaga! I cannot wait to see what is in store for her ARTRAVE tour because you can bet I will be there in ATL! After having the time of my life at her amazing show at Roseland on Monday, Tuesday April 1st came around and I got to tour the city during the day until it was time for dinner with Lady Gaga and The Germanotta Family at their family owned restaurant Joanne Trattoria. We arrived to the restaurant before our dinner hosts so we got to sit at the bar and met a lot of the locals and our chef for the evening. Everyone was so friendly and so welcoming! After a few minutes, Mrs. Cynthia Germanotta approached me and introduced herself. I thought I was nervous before until I saw LG’s beautiful mother standing right in front of me and hugging me, I thought I was going to pass out from excitement and nerves! This whole experience was becoming very real at that very moment. Then Mr. Joe Germanotta and her sister Natali Germanotta arrived and introduced themselves, and I was becoming more and more nervous by the minute. I was in need of some more of the delicious Sangria they served me because dinner hasn’t even started and Lady Gaga wasn’t even there yet and I was shaking! How was I supposed to make it through this dinner being so incredibly nervous? As we sat down for dinner, Mrs. Cynthia, Joe, and Natali were incredibly sweet and they knew how nervous I was and they made me feel very comfortable (I am forever thankful for them!). Once I thought I was holding great composure and feeling calm, out of the corner of my eye I see the one person I have admired for years and listened to all of her albums over and over again; the one entertainer I just watched perform the night before who had me dancing one minute and crying the next minute because of the raw, beautiful performance of just her and the piano. It was Lady Gaga walking towards me! I am shocked/stunned/excited/nervous/ anything you can thing I’m pretty sure I was that when I saw the flawless, beautiful Mother Monster walking towards me and hugging me, asking me if I was Jessi! My dream comes true! I meet her manager and creative designer and we all get settled for the most amazing family-style Italian dinner I have ever eaten in my life! As we are eating Joanne’s delicious meatballs, Flash Fried Calamari with hot peppers and Quinoa Pasta (and so much more!), Lady Gaga and her family were asking about family, hobbies, food, traveling, and other topics that made dinner seem so… normal. Lady Gaga was so down- to-earth, super incredible, and absolutely stunning! The whole crew made me feel as if I have been a part of their family all along! I could not believe I was at the same dinner table as LG was talking to me about performing on the David Letterman Show the next night (OMG!). She took many pictures with me and we talked about her Roseland Ballroom concerts along with her ARTRAVE tour while eating the most delicious desserts! I’m still on cloud nine…could someone please pinch me?! Then she gave the best gift I could ever receive, a large ARTPOP poster with “Jessi I love you so much beautiful –Lady Gaga†autographed on it that made me lose all composure and cry! The whole experience was so amazing and the best gift a little monster could EVER wish for in their wildest dreams. Lady Gaga is sitting right beside me, hugging ME!! It was the moment of a lifetime and the two days in NYC I will NEVER forget!! There really are no words to express how thankful I am for Lady Gaga, Prizeo and the Born This Way Foundation to give me the opportunity for this amazing, once-in-a-lifetime, dream-come-true experience to meet the one person who for years has changed my life in so many ways. I found out this week officially that “New York is not just a tan that you’ll never loseâ€, it is a city that stays with you forever and I will definitely go back (however it won’t EVER be as epic as this trip!). Also, I learned that Lady Gaga is the most down to earth person I have ever met who loves to perform for her fans more than anything. After this trip to meet Mother Monster, I have even more respect, admiration, and love for her as a person and as the amazing performer that she is and always will be for years to come! Paws up Little Monsters! Jessi xoxoxo" Just wanted to share this with everyone. So beautiful and awesome. Unless it's AP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
