Canada’s newest celebrity, Maria Aragon appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last Tuesday. Maria Aragon performed Born This Way by Lady Gaga, the song that gives her instant fame with 11 million views in YouTube (watch Maria Aragon’s cover). Ellen asked her why she chose to cover that song and Maria said, “Because of the meaning of the song. It’s a really great meaning. It’s about just being yourself because God may you who you are and you’re no different than anybody else.” Lady Gaga invited Maria on her Toronto concert. I think she will become the next Charice Pempengco, can’t wait to see her in Oprah.
