Me and Lady Gaga ❤After our conset in Toronto ❤
Happy 25 birthday, Lady Gaga, monther monster❤
I'm Maria Lourdes Aragon. I was born July 17, 2000. I'm a Filipino-Canadian singer from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
On February 16, 2011, a video of me performing a cover of "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga was posted to my sister's YouTube channel to showcase my talent to friends and family. The video caught Lady Gaga's attention and she was so impressed by my performance that she retweeted a link to the video to her eight million followers, causing a sensation and launching for me to instant international fame. The video garnered over 10 million views on YouTube in five days. In 6 days, my video, "Born This Way (Cover)" on Youtube had reached about 23 million views.
Toronto's Virgin Radio 99.9 was the among the first media outlets to reach out to it and attempted to fly me and my family to Toronto so that i could perform live on air. Those plans were cancelled due to the weather. During an interview on HOT 103 in Winnipeg, Lady Gaga called into the show to tell me how moved she had been by my performance. Lady Gaga invited and surprised me to perform "Born This Way" with her at The Monster Ball Tour concert in Toronto in March, an offer which i enthusiastically accepted. On March 3, 2011, I joined Lady Gaga on stage in front of a packed audience at the Air Canada Centre, where together they performed an acoustic duet of "Born this Way" with me sitting on Gaga's lap, playing piano and Lady Gaga working the pedals. At the end of the song, Gaga turned the microphone over to me and i thanked the audience and Gaga for allowing me to perform. Italic text Maria later rejoined Lady Gaga and her team of back up dancers for an uptempo finale version of "Born this Way" culminating in a group hug and loud cheers from the audience.
American talk show host Ellen DeGeneres took notice of me from Lady Gaga's tweet and invited me to appear on her show on February 21, 2011, where i then again performed "Born This Way" on the piano earning a standing ovation from the audience.
I'm in the fifth-grade and student at the Isaac Brock School! I lives with my parents, two sisters and a brother in Winnipeg.
