It's not every day that you get a phone call from your idol but it looks like Canadian youtuber Maria Aragon was really surprised when Lady Gaga called in during Maria's interview on the radio (with HOT 103 FM). Aragon has a number of videos showcasing her tremendous singing ability on her channel rojuanearagon, actually 72 have been posted so far.
Lady Gaga is going to perform in Canada in early March and it looks like she will have Maria Aragon up on stage with her. So a big congrats to Maria.
Below is the video that Lady Gaga was talking about that caught her attention. It is Maria playing the piano and singing Gaga's "Born This Way" and the video has since gone absolutely viral and has over 7.6 MILLION views since it was posted February 17th, but that may have something to do with Perez Hilton posting it and telling Gaga about it (according to what she says in the above video).
There's a nice write-up about the story with a bunch of media pictures giving even more details at the Winnipeg Free Press website: First a tweet, now an invite.
March 3rd - Just saw a tweet from Lady Gag that said:
"http://twitpic.com/45wf98 - Myself +10 year Old Lady Maria of Winnipeg. She signed my t-shirt, she ate my heart, just like you"

Hank Green Answers The Question: "Is Lady Gaga A Man?"
Is Lady Gaga A Man? Do you really care? I heard all the rumors that were circulating when a video showing what appeared to be Lady Gaga's "accessories" surfaced on Youtube a while back and there were all sorts of questions if maybe Lady Gaga was actually male or a transvestite or whatever. I quickly became bored with the question because I (gasp) don't give a hoot about Lady Gaga. But here comes Hank Green from the Vlogbrothers testing out Google's intuitive system by typing just the word "is" and finds one of the collective conumdrums facing the world is Lady Gaga's sexuality.
Like I said, I don't care about Lady Gaga and mostly pass on her music and disregard her "shocking behaviour" because I see it as simply a promotional gimmick.
What I thought was funny was Hank doing what we all do, and seeing what's being said and asked about people we know and Hank finds that people are interested in his brother John and that there are lots of questions about "Is John Green married?" or "Is John Green gay?" but poor old Hank cannot catch a break. When he types in his own name - nothing. Maybe it's because there are so many questions about the vlogbrother known as Hank that no one or two common questions have purcolated up into Google's algorithm.

Lady Gaga's Videos On Youtube Have Been Viewed By One Billion People
It has been reported that Lady Gaga, also know as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta has passed another milestone with all of her videos having been watched a combined 1 billion times on YouTube. Actually 1,002,734,757 (that figure is already out of date). This goes along with her triumphs on Facebook and Twitter where she is the most followed, be-friended person on the planet.
This figure of her total views is not for one single video, although her video for Bad Romance has almost 300 million views alone. For those of you having lived under a rock, here's the song:
Even if you were living under a rock you probably have seen parts of this video at one time or another. There's no escape from that song - "Ra, ra, uh, uh, uh... Rum-a rum-a-a", that lyric is somehow stuck in my own noggin.
Her second most watched Youtube viedo is for the song Just Dance (featuring Colby O'Donis) with an equally impressive 124 million views.
Although she has the most overall views, Lady Gaga pales in comparisons to Justin Bieber's Baby, which featured Ludacris and has racked up 367 million views. Bieber actually is close to the billion views mark on Youtube with 967 million views (with half of those by my nieces I think).
To go along with the YouTube crown, she is the only person (so far) to break the 20 million mark on her fan page on Facebook. Plus her reach is extended even more as Ga-Ga surpassed Britney Spears for top spot on Twitter this last August as the most followed person over there. Her account is @Ladygaga and she has 6,903,182 (as of October 26, 2010) people following her every utterance in 140 characters or less. And yes, even I am following her on Twitter (how did that happen?!).
Where else can she go and dominate? I wonder if she's on DailyBooth yet?
