With Jason Derulo and Lady Gaga’s time together on the Monster Ball Tour about to come to a close, the “Whatcha Say” singer admitted that being Gaga’s opening act has certainly been an experience. Lady Gaga’s elaborate stage mostra and pop-star persona have definitely rubbed off on him. And he detto that the singer is looking a lot better since postponing some tour dates due to exhaustion:
“She looked great yesterday,” Derulo told MTV News on Thursday after Gaga kicked off a run of shows at Radio City Musica Hall in her hometown of New York. “I was impressed. I watched the mostra yesterday — it was awesome.”
With her medical problems behind her, Gaga was able to go back to putting on an awe-inspiring show. And watching Gaga night after night has Derulo Canto her praises. “I mean, I Amore so many different aspects of her performance. I feel like she definitely is the new Madonna,” he detto in an interview earlier this month. “I was always a big Madonna fan. My mom is a big Madonna fan, so that kind of got handed down to me.”
He also detto that for anyone who didn’t grow up in Madonna’s golden age, Gaga is the perfect way to understand that sort of magic. “I guess a lot of people my age don’t know what Madonna was like,” he explained. “They’re really, really similar in their performance and their personality also. She just comes alive onstage. She is an incredible performer. She makes te want to watch. I Amore the costumes. I Amore the costume changes. It’s a real production.”
Derulo added that when he steps out on his own tour he plans on bringing that flare with him. “I studied musical theater my whole life, so when the time is right and it’s my own tour and I have eight buses and 150 people on my staff, I want to do the same,” he said. “I want to have a huge production.”
Once the pair bids the tour a fond farewell, would Derulo like to hook up with Gaga in the studio? Well, what do te think? “Absolutely. I definitely feel a collaboration coming on,” he said. “This time last year, in 2008, Gaga had six people on her staff and now has 150. So, I mean, that’s inspiring.”

The awards, now in their eleventh year, are one of the country’s most prestigious Musica prizes and celebrate both French and international music.
Also among the winners this anno was Rihanna for International Female Artist of the anno and Beyoncé Knowles who scooped the NRJ Award of Honour.
However, the event was overshadowed da a blunder that saw the Black Eyed Peas wrongly named Best International Group, a prize which was meant to be dato to German band Tokio Hotel.
Choreographer Kamel Ouali, who announced the award, realised his mistake after no one came to collect the award. He returned to the stage to apologise and name the real winners.
Lady Gaga, who could not attend the ceremony as she was performing in New York, will be touring the UK later this year, starting at Manchester’s MEN Arena on February 18th
