Is Lady Gaga egging her critics on?
After arriving at Sunday's Grammy Awards in a womb-like vessel, the 24-year-old pop star phoned into Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday to explain her bizarre entrance.

"I was in there for about 72 hours. It was a very creative experience," Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta) said. "It was time for me to really prepare and think about the meaning of the song and get prepared for the performance. I really wanted to be born on stage."
Though her unconventional arrival drew mixed reactions, Gaga insists that it was a necessary part of her premiere "Born This Way" performance.

"The creative vessel was helpful for me to stay focused. We had it backstage so that I was able to really stay in this sort of creative, embryonic incubation," she explained. "This is what I do, Ryan. I'm so passionate about this record and the meaning of the album."
Though her latest single has already claimed the No. 1 spot on iTunes, Gaga told Seacrest, 36, she's already planning for the next phase of the Born This Way era.

"The next single is called 'Judas' and that will be out a couple of weeks before the album. I did that record with RedOne, who is so amazing," she raved.
Other songs on the album include "Marry the Night" and "Government Hooker," as well as Gaga's favorite track, "Hair," which she described as "a club record with this Bruce Springsteen vibe to it."

"When I create music, I see music as sort of a wall of sounds and colors. Every song sort of bears this hue and this color to it, and that's how I end up ultimately creating the performances," the singer said. "That was one of my most favorite things at the Grammys, the color palate of the stage. I just thought it was so beautiful and that's really how I see the song."
Tell Us What You Think
9I find that a little hard to believe. She sure moved good getting out of there for someone that had been in there for 72hrs.
Lady Gag Gag--such a yoke!
72hrs pliiiiizzzzz
Whatever.
Obviously, she wasn't in there for about 72 hours straight. It's how many hours she spent in there overall, according to her.

I call BULLCRAP on this one too!!! You couldn't sleep or relieve yourself unless she was wearing "Depends" ...LOL What a wackjob!!!
Wait a minute...I watched her on Jay Leno last night and she said she redesigned all of the costumes worn by her dancers (and herself) less than 48 hours before her performance...said there was a lot of wardrobes changes, etc done in such a short time...so she is saying she was able to try on her various costume creations while shoved in that egg??? BULL.
72 hours in the 'vessel'? Not likely. She would not be able to move let alone dance after being confined in such a tight space for 3 days. Considering she was photographed out and about Saturday her story is a bit of an embellishment as 72 hours in the â??vesselâ?? would have her tucked in since Thursday night. Kind of like when she in one breath states to Anderson Cooper that she, like, smokes a lot of , like, pot while writing songs, but doesnâ??t really smoke, like, a lot of pot. It only makes sense in Gaga-land. Regardless, she was amazing at the Grammys and is a top notch entertainer, so if she wants to spew some fluff for interviews: go for it!
