A report from the Adelaide Advertiser News paper 11/7/2011
IT was pearls before bedtime for Lady Gaga as the world's most famous pop star revealed she suffered a pang of loneliness on her first night in Sydney.
While dozens of adoring Little Monsters - as her fans have been dubbed - kept a wintry vigil outside her Sydney hotel, the self-confessed hopeless romantic cuddled up with a string of pearls.
"I'm a hopeless romantic. There's no hope for me. I find romance in these gloves or in the belt I sewed on to my shirt today," she said.
"I find romance in the pearls that I slept with in my hands last night because I felt lonely."
There was little alone time yesterday as she spent the day promoting her Gaga Live extravaganza at the Sydney Town Hall - renamed Monster Hall - on Wednesday night.
She hints she has more plans to shake up the industry after being inspired by Amazon's actions to offer Born This Way for 99c in the US to promote a new cloud music service.
The cut-price initiative for digital copies of the album helped her sell 1.1 million copies in just a week.
"Advertising as a way to sell records is going to be what changes the business," she said.
"It is very strange to me the way people place the value on a physical CD to be equal to a digital copy of an album. You are not actually getting the same value.
"Now I'm not going to tell you my exact idea but I have been thinking so much about how we can bridge these two worlds."
Gaga said she felt at home in Australia because music enthusiasts here shared her love of pop music.
"You love pop music and I love pop music. It's a fight forward for the pop kids here because so many people think pop music isn't cool and I think pop music is the coolest," she said.
