The 15 Greatest GaGa Covers

Lady GaGa- Currently one of the biggest names in pop culture. Millions of musicians around the world have paid tribute to her and her music. From those who are more well-known to small-town musicians, these covers are sure to do GaGa proud! Which is your favorite?

1) It's no secret that Glee is one of the most popular shows on television. There are some people who just have no interest in their covers, and there are some who are constantly using up all their iTunes money on them (guilty as charged!). But whether you are a Gleek or not, this cover is sure to make you want to get up and dance! Glee Cast- "Born This Way"
2) With over 50 million views, this cover of "Paparazzi" threw Greyson Chance into the spotlight. Since then, he's made several appearances on talk shows such as "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and even scored his own record deal! Greyson Chance- Paparazzi
3) Talk about being born with raw, natural talent! Maria Aragon was just 10 years old when her cover of "Born This Way" went viral! Who would have thought that within just a few months, she would be singing this on stage with Lady G herself?!  Maria Aragon- "Born This Way"
4) In my opinion, this one just may be one of the most under-rated covers of all time. How would a Japanese-style version of Lady GaGa and Beyonce's smash hit "Telephone" sound? Incredible! Listen for yourself! TEAM KOZAN- "Telephone"
5) For all you rock fans out there- Check out this amazing instrumental rock version of "Poker Face"! "Poker Face" (Rock Version)
6) Full of incredible vocal runs and free from any editing/auto-tune, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this impressive stripped down acoustic cover of "Poker Face"! "P-P-P-Poker Face" Cover
7) With over 5 million views, this cover of "Paparazzi" is sung and played beautifully. I've had it on replay all day! Lynzie Kent & Rich G- "Paparazzi"
8) An interesting new twist on GaGa- These 2 talented girls uploaded an acapella cover of "Bad Romance" including beatboxing!  "Bad Romance" Beatboxing & Acapella Cover
9) As a formal "American Idol" contestant and the lead singer of his self-titled rock band, Chris Daughtry is seeping with talent. He surprised fans with his smooth rendition of this Lady GaGa hit. Chris Daughtry covers "Poker Face"
10) Ariana Grande has taken the world by storm. From starring on Broadway to the hit Nickelodeon show "Victorious" to recently releasing her own album "Yours Truly", she's managed to gain over 27 million Twitter follows and Facebook likes combined! Check out her inspiring mash-up of GaGa's "Born This Way" with Madonna's "Express Yourself"! Ariana Grande- Born This Way/Express Yourself
11) The Pentatonix are a remarkably talented group known for their acapella performances. They always know just how to impress, as they did with their unique take on "Edge Of Glory". Pentatonix- "Edge Of Glory"
12) Here's another successful "Edge Of Glory" cover worthy of hearing- once again from the cast of "Glee"! From the acapella parts to the pop beat in the background, it's nearly impossible not to start singing along! Glee cast- "Edge Of Glory"
13) Wow! That's the only word that came to my mind after hearing this beyond remarkable cover of one of GaGa's current singles "Applause". May I just say that this cover deserves waaay more views?! Jona Selle- "Applause"
14) In 2011, girl group Little Mix became the first group to win The X Factor (UK). Here's a little flashback of their performance of "Telephone" from back in their early days! Little Mix- "Telephone"
15) Last but not least, we have one final GaGa from "Glee"! Broadway alumnus Matthew Morrison and Idina Menzel belt out this gracious mash-up of Lady G's "You And I" and the 1982 hit by Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle that just happens to have the same name. Glee- You And I/You And I
