She was once semi-normal

Here's a clip of Lady Gaga before she became famous . . . who would have ever guess she once was normal. She appears pre-Fame sporting her natural brunette hair and relatively normal clothes. While the rare vintage clip bears precious little similarity visually or sonically to Stefani's spacewoman Lady Gaga persona, it does make it obvious that Lady Gaga has always been a) attractive, b) talented, c) charismatic, and d) female.

Who would've guessed then that only three years later, this unassuming open-mic singer-songwriter type would be hanging from a chandelier above the MTV Video Music Awards stage, smeared in fake blood and glitter?
