Try watching this video of hers (amongst others, I could point to all of them really):
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance -

Then tell me you do not see a lost little girl in that video. Please do.
A Girl playing dress up and makeup with her friends.
She looks so lost in most of the video to me, there are a lot of times she lets what is beneath show through, you just have to see it.
Watch her dancing, it is angular for a reason, at times she drops the act though, never quite goes all natural while dancing but comes close. She does not go totally angular and hard like some, gets close but not all the way, this is a sign.
Even listen to the lyrics, really listen to them.
So many things to point out.
Ironically I have seen most of her videos totally differently to most of my local friends who have seen them, they are like 'oh my god, shes hot' - I just seem to see this lost little girl in a woman's body playing like she would as a child, dressing up and having fun while trying to act like what she thinks an adult is.
I think this is some of where her 'trying to shock' comes from, if you look at it from that angle it makes sense.
Something for you all to ponder on.
