Maria Aragon - Filipino Canadian 10 year old singer sings Lady Gaga's Born This Way

During the 53rd Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga passed the red carpet inside an egg. I watched on television the moment the "Lady Gaga Egg" left the car until it reached Ryan Seacrest for the interview. Of course, the hosts of E! News were not able to interview Lady Gaga because well according to Lady Gaga's rep she is incubating inside the egg in preparation for a song she will perform for the 53rd Grammy Awards. That song was the song "Born This Way".


The first time I saw "Born This Way" is when my friend, Vocal Coach Rona, shared it via Facebook. The next day I saw an article that made me watch the song and listen to the lyrics again and again.



According to Yahoo! News, Lady Gaga's friend, Perez Hilton showed her the video of Maria Aragon, the 10-year old Filipino Canadian, singing Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way".

The full article can be read following this link: http://ph.promotion.yahoo.com/entertainment/article/post/entertainmentfeat_ph/326/lady-gaga-invites-fil-canadian-girl-to-sing-duet.html

When Lady Gaga heard Maria Aragon sing her song she was so delighted that when Maria Aragon and Lady Gaga talked during a radio show, Lady Gaga told Maria Aragon "Not only do you have such a beautiful voice and you are so joyful to watch but, every once in a while, whether people believe it or not, I have a very bad day. And I was not having such a good day. And when Perez (Hilton) sent me the video of you singing I was so overjoyed that I began to cry,"



These words brought tears to the very young heart of Maria Aragon. However, the good news does not end there. After singing the chorus of Lady Gaga's "Born this Way", Maria Aragon was invited by Lady Gaga to sing the same song with her in a duet for the latter's Toronto Concert this coming March 2011.



The teary eyed, Maria Aragon readily accepted the invitation. Finally, the radio talk show host thanked Lady Gaga for making this song so that little girls can be inspired to be like her. I was really surprised to agree with the talk show host this time.

Honestly, I was one of those people who thought that the weird outfits were just a way for this pop singer to get people's attention. I did not see the artist right away. I was distracted with the outside appearance of Lady Gaga. The next breakthrough I had with Lady Gaga was when I heard Glee's version of the song Poker face. I can now proudly say that is my favorite Lady Gaga song next to Born This Way.

Some of the comments of people who saw what Lady Gaga did for Maria John had the same feelings.

Frost20 said:
wasnt much of a fan of lady gaga but after watching this and seeing how nice and cool lady gaga is im like all on board..going to buy her cd for sure.

thegreek14
dammit, now I like lady gaga its a trick! ah screw it, shes a good singer :/

Most of all, the support of Filipinos are overwhelming. Several videos of Maria Aragon is shared in facebook. And the feelings of Filipinos were expressed similar to what futuready said:

"teary - eyed while watching this... proud to be a Filipino... you go girl!!!

Maria Aragon your such a great kid..."

To the rest of the kids out there, we hope that Maria Aragon serves as an inspiration for you to pursue what you want to do in life. Some people might think its just another music video in youtube but you'll never know who might be watching in this big world out there.

Born This Way (Lyrics)
by: Lady Gaga

[Intro]It doesn't matter if you love him,
Or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up'cause you were born this way, baby

Verse:My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick onIn the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothin wrong with lovin who you are"
She said, "'cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,Listen to me when I say"

Chorus:I'm beautiful in my way'
Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Post-chorus:
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be!

Verse:Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

Repeat chorus + post-chorus

Bridge:Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi,Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

Repeat chorus

Outro/refrain:I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

Tiger Mom: A Filipino Chinese Mother writes a Self-parody of her Parenting Style

Amy Chua is a Filipino Chinese Yale professor and known for her book "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother". She is now popularly known as the "Tiger Mom".

According to Amy Chua, the goal of the book is to write a memoir which is also a self-parody. However, the book became a controversial book because of some of the parenting practices applied by Amy Chua. Not only is her expectations of her children really high for example no grade lower than A but her application of negative reinforcement is kind of extreme making her children "practice piano and/or violin for 3-6 hours non-stop every day" and "calls them names" and these are the kind of names that can actually break a child's self esteem. TFC Channel came up with their news about the Tiger Mom since Ms. Amy Chua is Filipino Chinese.



Because of these disparaging stories, where some call Ms. Amy Chua's parenting practice as "cruelty to children", amazingly this is what made the book a requested book as an audiobook and in print. Some critics say to read the book just as a form of entertainment. However as Stephen Colbert joked in his show "The Colbert Report", the cover of the book can be forgotten and many people might actually misinterpret the book as a Parenting book or a book that promotes that Eastern Mothers specifically Chinese mothers are better mothers than Western Mothers particularly those from the US.

Either way, I do not plan to buy the book because I have a way to download the book for free as an audiobook (the legal way) and if after reading the book I find it entertaining I might actually buy it to support a fellow Filipino.

Still, since this book was done for entertainment here is something I found from youtube which is a parody of this very controversial self-parody.



To see Ms. Amy Chua's interview with Stephen Colbert at the Colbert Report Show, you can see the video following the link below.

The article below is what Time Magazine printed about the parenting style applied by Ms. Amy Chua

I remember Randy Pausch said that once he dreamt to be an Imagineer for Disney. He did apply and was let down by a letter but did not stop him from dreaming. I know some of you who might be thinking but this is in the US specifically in Florida! But that is not the question here? Did you see anything in the requirements that said "Open only to US Residents". No siree, there is none like that? It says looking for bright college students who want to work in Disneyland. If that is what you desire then go for it. Don't stop believing!
