Lady GaGa Before She Was Famous

2006 wasn't all that long ago on an evolutionary scale, but for Lady Gaga, the past three years have transformed her into both an international pop sensation and a head-turning fashion spectacle.
But who was she three years ago? We found a video of her performing live as the Stefani Germanotta Band (named after herself) at the Bitter End in
She's certainly not the Gaga she is now. She looks a cross between Alanis Morrissette and Amy Winehouse with her hair down!!! ... and you can hear a bit more soul in her voice, than with all the production and layers on her current stuff.
Without the shocking costumes, the eccentric makeup and the platinum locks, would Lady Gaga be so popular if she still looked like her former self? Probably not.

14 year old Michael Jackson on The Dating Game in 1972

Another video we found on the net is of a 14 year old Michael Jackson, in 1972, on a programme called 'The Dating Game'.
Think 'Blind Date' with Cilla, except this time the host was San Francisco-based disc jockey Jim Lange, and they regularly had celebrities on the show. Even Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Steve Lartin made appearances on the show, but before they were relatively famous.
This clip is of Michael, as he questions the three potential dates, just like you'd see in 'Blind Date'. He seems to be the same shy and soft-spoken person that the world came to know, but the pure innocence in his young face is quite astonishing, considering what was to come for him in his life.
