OOJ: gaga + beyonce

today's OOJ is a couple videos demonstrating two extremes. first, her majesty the queen gaga performing "speechless" on a 10-foot grand piano raised 20 ft in the air supported by what looks like giant tree roots. what's it like to play piano with your feet dangling in the air? i want to know. even tho i don't prefer her music, i adore her theatricality + i wish ppl in everyday life accessed + flaunted their inner flamboyance more often. gaga does this whether she's on stage or not; therefore, she is a queen.
gaga speechless

and at the other end of the pendulum swing, we have beyonce doing a run-thru of "one + one" in the green room before she steps on stage at "american idol". it's unproduced, unedited, unrehearsed (well, it *is* the rehearsal itself)- nothing but pure melody + musicality (don't listen to the lyrics). i'd swallow this video just so i could play it on repeat in my head all day long. 
beyonce 1+1
