Elton John in awe of Lady Gaga

LONDON - Singer Elton John envisions Lady Gaga enjoying a long reign as the Queen of pop as he feels she is so “amazingly polite and respectful” to her entourage and fans.

John teamed up with Gaga for a performance at the Grammy Awards last year and they recently recorded a duet for his latest movie project, Gnomeo & Juliet.

“I love her, she’s absolutely amazing. We’ve become friends. What I like about the Gaga most is that she’s amazingly polite and respectful to everyone around her, dailystar.co.uk quoted him as saying.

“What I loved most about John Lennon is that he was like that. He once gave my mum a lift to the airport and came to my agent’s wedding- Gaga is like that. But the greatest thing about her is that she manages to let everyone think they know everything about her but no one knows anything.

“She’s a phenomenal star - definitely someone who will be taking on the old sods like me, McCartney and Rod Stewart doing big tours for years to come. Pure genius.”
