The thing is u young people use it for clicks..not for the meaning...because u mever understand it..what it means to work...or to suffer..or fight..idiots click u and u get rich..for what?
I really love Lady Gaga's live performances because they are SO different to the actual record. She loves to play with her songs and see how much she can do to them which is great for the listener to hear her songs in a different version by the same artist.
I'd be honored if some fans of Lady Gaga's amazing acoustic performances would give a quick listen to my piano & vocal cover of ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY ruclips.net/video/H53twPfoCzo/видео.html on my YT in tribute to Gaga and her legendary role in A Star Is Born last year. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
She did this version of her song because a fan of hers was made famous by his rendition of paparazzi in a school talent show. Greyson Chance, look him up.
I'm 32 and watching this too hahahaha I haven't seen this performance for many years but it just popped into my head. I loved this and downloaded it to my iPod when I was 17. ☺️
Who watching this in 2020?!?!?!?!?! Edit: 2021!!! Keep it going!! ❤️ 11 Years later and she STILL brings tears running down my face!! Forever legendary!!! How blessed we are to experience Lady Gaga in our lifetime!!!
@@makarysierpinski5700 OMG that i can't remeber on the top of my head. I belive it might be the Piano Sanata from the Mary The Night music video. It's been a while since I've listened to Beethoven, Sorry.
@@makarysierpinski5700 sounds similar to beethoven's moonlight sonata 2nd and 3rd movements. The third movement, part of the beginning, sounds like how gaga began here, nd then the dah nah nuh nah nah nana , similar to the 2nd movement
Same!!! I‘m here in my bed, listening to Gaga Live music and than this video came. Start crying because I remember i‘ve loved this video so much when I was 15. Now I‘m 25 next month. Wow... Time is running so fast :(
If there is someone out there that has accomplished, and can put a song across the way she does, seeing is believing. I don't believe it for one moment. She doesn't flaunt, she PERFORMS.....
Jeramia Valentine during the climax of the Paparazzi video, when she kills the jackass boyfriend, she drinks from a purple cup of tea when he dies, so it became a prop for her during the pr period for this song lol. I applaud her for bringing this everywhere and not break like 900 cups a day bc my wobbly hands cannot hold a teacup on a saucer for shit lol.
In my 55 years, I can’t remember another artist that has won me over the way GaGa has. She single-handedly made me pay attention to popular music again. Plus, she’s just a lot of fun. :)
From Disco Pop, Dark Pop, Electronic Dance Music, Country Pop, Jazz, Theater Music, Ballad she's just so AMAZING! Can't wait for her next album. They said it will be a Rock Album. They call her already the bastard daughter of Freddie Mercury 😎🖤
+FreedomFighter2112 No, she's not lol.. she only made this video cause a 12 year old made the video originally and a better version of it lol... do your home-work.
+ktown4life1337 and, well, Gaga was first with such interpretation; that "12 year old" uploaded video with his cover over a year later than this one was.
When I was 14 I listened to this on my iPod shuffle on the school bus going through cornfields, dreaming of escaping small town Michigan to be surrounded by crazy, talented people in NYC like her. Long story short I never moved to NYC, but I made my way through France and now Germany studying my master's degree. I'm so grateful for Gaga during those formative years, she really helped express myself and make me believe I could go beyond the ordinary.
The woman is ******** talented. She invents her own shit, is good with pianos, synthesizers, and guitars, knows how to sing, started showing talents at a young age, and is smart. Also, she is an advocate for LGBT community and anti-bullying. She is eccentric, and though I don't like her meatball dress, and sometimes I think she's from another planet especially due to her latest record, I like her overall. She has an IQ higher than most people (recorded 166) but doesn't come off as a robot similar to most intellectual people, possibly because she's also SENSITIVE. Point in short: she isn't one-dimensional like most intellectual people or stupid like some sensitive people. She's an all-rounder in creativity, intellect, and a kind heart. And I like most of her eccentric outfits (although not the meatball one, lol!) and her electronic and more "traditional" music.
I agree with you all the way. There is a reason why all of the legends LOVE her. Including, Queen, Cher, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson before he passed when she was first getting started. She was going on tour with him before he unfortunately passed away. She is the Idol, legend, greatest artists of our time. I met her and I have to say she is just as lovely in person. She is a great musician, artist, and humanitarian all around. Amazing woman.
A lot of my friends have been gagging over her Oscars performance, being like "OMG I didn't know she could sing." I've just been like "girl, please, catch up" and sent them this link.
***** I'm actually surprised by people's reactions ("Lady Gaga can sing?!?!?") I'm not her biggest fan but even I had realized her how well she sang from live performances, I'm surprised people didn't see it before... Well at least she set the record straight and set herself some justice
I remember when I first saw this, I immediately started telling everyone around me this woman is no joke. This is a real artist, she’s not gimmick. I was in a state of shock when I realized she was more than crazy outfits. Grateful to have discovered that.
I hate that I was too young to really appreciate or understand her when she blew up. I wish I’d been able to witness it all, I remember seeing everything about her everywhere but being 5 years old when she was just getting famous, you can probably guess that my parents didn’t think I was ready. I first heard Just Dance and used to dance to it for hours, without really even knowing anything about her. Three years ago I got my first phone and started listening to her on and off(before I really developed my own music taste) but then kind of forgot her. Then, a couple weeks ago, I got a recommendation of a fan made documentary on RUclips and I’m only now REALLY getting into her. She’s so incredible. I’m obsessed.
The same thing just happened to me except I just randomly became obsessed with her. Like out of nowhere. She wasn’t even on my RUclips recommendations or anything. Just like 3 weeks ago.
Quick story. Lady Gaga came to my city (Cambridge, MA) 8 years ago for a photo shoot for Polaroid. I was lucky enough to be her police security detail for the day. We spent some time talking and she was the coolest, most down-to-earth celebrity you could ever meet. For whatever reason she took a liking to me. I think being Italian helped. She seemed fascinated with my last name and what part of Italy my grandparents were from. But anyway, it's a day that I will never forget. My only regret is that I didn't ask her to dinner. And no, I'm not foolish enough to think I'd ever have a chance with her romantically. I'm just talking about grabbing a quick bite and having good conversation. Deep down, if she was in town for the night, I really think she would've accepted the invitation. So the moral of the story is, don't ever fear rejection or you'll always live with regret.
You shouldn’t regret it at all, you had the chance to speak Lady Gaga privately, where you both bonded and shared similarities while she showed a great interest in you, who you are and your background. You’ve achieved what millions of people around the world could only dream of.
Me too i just loved hearing her take her big overly produced Pop songs (which i loved... Dont attack me lol) to raw stripped down versions. This song gives me chills now and im 24. Its crazy to think i was only 14 when i firat heard this and loved it then but now that ive gone through life more her voice literally means so much more
I'm a 40 year old man. I thought Lady Gaga was a tart when she was wearing all that goofy shit, like a meat dress, but when I heard her perform on Howard stern, I became a fan. This woman is one of the most talented human beings alive, and she's an absolute genius. Kudos to her and I'm so grateful I heard her that day. Her voice brings tears to my eyes. Incredible. 👏👏
I agree. The first time I saw her; I think it was on SNL. The outfit !! I couldn't tell what or who she was; I was like, who the F is this broad ???? Then she opened her mouth - Nuff said. Pure Talent (oh and I'm a Green Day/MCR fangirl; not my style of music whatsoever)
The funny thing is that, even though her vocals in 2009 were a lot weaker than in her recent performances, she was still better than 90% of pop singers
It’s a shame that in today’s pop culture, the musician who is most associated with “classic, raw” music skills is Adele, when in fact Lady Gaga runs CIRCLES around Adele in terms of talent and ability, and songwriting prowess. (And that’s not even including Gaga’s huge stage presence and dance skills). Many have a misguided view of Lady Gaga because in addition to her music, she’s always been a provocative visual artist like Bowie. And her music is less traditional than the likes of Adele or Coldplay for example.
Buuuaaa! Hey If U wona put some interesting about Culture Creator who make in short time smile on the milions lonely face and give chance fore true hapy and lucky and oooo much more then can imagine try beter maybe better understand art what make sens minimum 30 years learning what is this artistc, create. maybe after hard work have bless little elements who stay in your mind for magic i dywidual expirience. I Wish U good luck. Easy come... Easy Go.. Live is not easy it make true sens of existence. Buy buddy..
The Fabulous, Horny Aunt Harriet I’m pretty sure Gaga has an insane amount of more fans than Adelle. Adelle is just more relevant rn. Gaga hasn’t come out with music in a while. Also, Gaga is my richer than Adelle proving she sells more shows and singles.
Why you gotta put somebody else down though? If you prefer Gaga's music over Adele's, that's totally fine, but saying she "runs circles around Adele" is a bit much. Both are great and the reason Gaga isn't always recognized for her musical ability is because a lot of her music doesn't really show off her vocals, whereas Adele's music is all about the vocals. Clearly Gaga can sing but why you gotta compare her to anyone? To each their own.
I love that in her acoustic performances and especially this one she does these intricate piano intros and if they stood on their own they could easily be mistaken for a classical piece. To me personally the intro sounds very Chopin-esque maybe even a little bit of Bach too and as a piano player myself I fangirl a lot when she plays like this,
Baby, she's THE QUEEN OF MUSIC, not "pretty good". All of her songs are difficult to sing and preform, I mean come on Katy, Madonna, Taylor, Ariana, Selena, Demi, NO ONE CAN DO IT LIKE GAGA!
She is not comparable to other 'artists'. She is the true LIVE performer, and no one beats her. It always was so. This means she's genious Musician, having no need to suit 'modern standards'. She knows it. Classical Lady she is. Since 2009, this and VMA bloody performance are my etalons of musicality and theater in its best! (Born This Way any one? ;D) She puts all soul in music. Cheek to Cheek, Joanne... She was adorable yet singing Captivated... Bad, manys now lack musical taste, Gaga and someone like Adele save us keeping music. And don't forget CLASSICS! ^)
Would it be wrong to say that if she was to release an album. .or even a few songs..where it's only her, her piano. .maybe a guitar and maybe even a violin. . That it would be quite amazing? ... I'm not a fan of her music. . I'll be honest. But stumbling around youtube I found this video and I have to say, the woman has an amazing voice. Just curious.
ebbok I don't know why you felt the need to respond that way - artists do side projects and he's suggesting one that would work well. She obviously has an interest in doing so - this video is evidence of that. And he said she had an amazing voice. He's not insulting her, he's just saying he's not a fan of her electronic pop sound but is acknowledging her abilities as a singer and pianist.
Gaga is a great pianist, singer and she writes all her songs and wrote for other artists. It's sad how people assume someone is untalented just because they don't like its music.
When she first debuted I did my searches and noticed immediately that she recorded her records in pop format but almost always switched between performing the recorded version or did a live rendition. This performance is amazing and her voice even then is clear and powerful. She's been giving it all to us since day one.
Such a talented woman. I remember when her first few songs were hitting the radio. I was in an anti-mainstream phase and wanted to dislike her at first, but no one can deny her incredible voice and songwriting. All these years later I still come back to listen ❤
I saw Lady Gaga's Enigma show in Las Vegas last week. The BEST CONCERT EVER!! She has an incredible voice, plays her own instruments, and can DANCE like a fiend. Terrific stage presence and vocals that brought the house down. Visually stunning stage and set and multiple costume changes made the concert even better than I thought possible. I love Paparazzi and she sang this and many of her popular songs as well as her newer material. LOVE IT!!
Lady Gaga is a brilliant performer. She is the real deal. Her level of musicianship, her care for her fans, and her raw vocal talent is unparalleled. I keep watching this video because it is so good.
She is one of the most talented and amazing human beings i ever seen or heard of! This version is a million times better than the actual recorded studio version! Almost every song she does "acoustic" or lets say just her and a piano/keyboard is better than every studio version she recorded! She is sooo incredibly good at really nailing and capturing the authenticity of the moment, and of the song being played!

Kenneth Williams don't forget Pink.
because she isn't mainstream!

Heyy
Gaga is playing tf outta the keys at the beginning of the video.
Now that might be on purpose. But she's also mixing up chords later on... Great performance, nonetheless
yes she was! she was actually playing a bethoven piano sanata snippet in the beginning to add tension/ show case her classical roots.
@@makarysierpinski5700 OMG that i can't remeber on the top of my head. I belive it might be the Piano Sanata from the Mary The Night music video. It's been a while since I've listened to Beethoven, Sorry.

Quick story.
Lady Gaga came to my city (Cambridge, MA) 8 years ago for a photo shoot for Polaroid. I was lucky enough to be her police security detail for the day. We spent some time talking and she was the coolest, most down-to-earth celebrity you could ever meet.
For whatever reason she took a liking to me. I think being Italian helped. She seemed fascinated with my last name and what part of Italy my grandparents were from.
But anyway, it's a day that I will never forget. My only regret is that I didn't ask her to dinner. And no, I'm not foolish enough to think I'd ever have a chance with her romantically. I'm just talking about grabbing a quick bite and having good conversation.
Deep down, if she was in town for the night, I really think she would've accepted the invitation.
So the moral of the story is, don't ever fear rejection or you'll always live with regret.
You shouldn’t regret it at all, you had the chance to speak Lady Gaga privately, where you both bonded and shared similarities while she showed a great interest in you, who you are and your background. You’ve achieved what millions of people around the world could only dream of.

She's one of the famous singer that can actually SING , without auto-tune , including Rihanna
Rihanna can sing without auto-tune? o.O
of course , go see some of her live shows , she's great . That's not my kind of singer but i admit that she has a superbe voice !
Yeah , my bad . Rihanna is Shit ! voilà !
I don't know if you have heard of Jessie J and Beyoncè, because I'm pretty sure they can sing kind of really amazing as well

How could you not fall in love with her?
I'm a 40 year old man. I thought Lady Gaga was a tart when she was wearing all that goofy shit, like a meat dress, but when I heard her perform on Howard stern, I became a fan. This woman is one of the most talented human beings alive, and she's an absolute genius. Kudos to her and I'm so grateful I heard her that day. Her voice brings tears to my eyes. Incredible. 👏👏
I agree. The first time I saw her; I think it was on SNL. The outfit !! I couldn't tell what or who she was; I was like, who the F is this broad ???? Then she opened her mouth - Nuff said. Pure Talent (oh and I'm a Green Day/MCR fangirl; not my style of music whatsoever)
@@karenmerluzzi8173 I'm completely agree with you...apart that I'm 50
As old punk rocker I must agree with you. She is great.
What's a tart?
Karen Merluzzi I listen to grunge and metal lol. lady gaga is boss
This lady is iconic. An amazing complete artist. I have mad respect for her for using her voice for great causes.
Loved her since I was 10 and now I'm 17 (wow time flies) and still love her , she's definitely a queen :)
Gosh I know right! I got into her music and performances in 7th grade (so when I was 12) and I'm 19 now and she is still my favorite!
same
Same ! Went to her first tour when I was 11 and now I'm 18.. it's so crazy
13 to 20...
I'm fan since I was 9 too and now I am 16 :D
Paparazzi makes me so emotional
I come back to this when I need peace and inspiration.
Exactly why I am here now.
Watched this when I was 13 and now the video is 13 years old. God I love RUclips
There is no other superstar you knowll be you be famous
Cause the pic of us don't have a price waiting for those flashing lights.
The funny thing is that, even though her vocals in 2009 were a lot weaker than in her recent performances, she was still better than 90% of pop singers
Her little “thank you very much” is so cute at the end. It gets me every time 😭
Me too. Im so in love with her
Wow her voice changed from sweet and bubbly to deep and soul!!
The evolution of her voice is insane!!! 10 years later too
Now I see where Greyson Chance found his inspiration.
what for?
For his performance of this song

Music is timeless...Lady GaGa is timeless...She's so damn talented, it's ridiculous.
i normally watch this 3 times a day but today is a day for 4...
It’s a shame that in today’s pop culture, the musician who is most associated with “classic, raw” music skills is Adele, when in fact Lady Gaga runs CIRCLES around Adele in terms of talent and ability, and songwriting prowess. (And that’s not even including Gaga’s huge stage presence and dance skills).
Many have a misguided view of Lady Gaga because in addition to her music, she’s always been a provocative visual artist like Bowie. And her music is less traditional than the likes of Adele or Coldplay for example.
Buuuaaa! Hey If U wona put some interesting about Culture Creator who make in short time smile on the milions lonely face and give chance fore true hapy and lucky and oooo much more then can imagine try beter maybe better understand art what make sens minimum 30 years learning what is this artistc, create. maybe after hard work have bless little elements who stay in your mind for magic i dywidual expirience. I Wish U good luck. Easy come... Easy Go.. Live is not easy it make true sens of existence. Buy buddy..
Joe Skinfox wtf
The Fabulous, Horny Aunt Harriet I’m pretty sure Gaga has an insane amount of more fans than Adelle. Adelle is just more relevant rn. Gaga hasn’t come out with music in a while. Also, Gaga is my richer than Adelle proving she sells more shows and singles.
I would actually say Adele is the better singer, but Stefani is certainly the better songwriter.
Why you gotta put somebody else down though? If you prefer Gaga's music over Adele's, that's totally fine, but saying she "runs circles around Adele" is a bit much. Both are great and the reason Gaga isn't always recognized for her musical ability is because a lot of her music doesn't really show off her vocals, whereas Adele's music is all about the vocals. Clearly Gaga can sing but why you gotta compare her to anyone? To each their own.
When we first heard these early songs we had no idea the absolute life-changing impact she would have on everyone. Incredible.
Rewatching all her live performances bec of A Star is Born. She's just so perfect!
Saaaame
OMG SAMEE IM BEGINNING TO STAN HER AGAIN
Gaga still is and forever will be my queen
I show this video to all the people that told me she's talentless.
yeah
I'm not really into her music but she is one of the best live singers I've ever heard. Her voice is amazing!!
Tu peux ne pas aimer sa musique, mais tu ne peux pas dire qu'elle n'a pas de talent (You can dislike her music, but you can't say she's talentless).
I show them acoustic Marry the Night.
I did the same thing!!!!
Best version, still revisiting in 2024🙏
this video made me fall in love with her 7 years ago... she changed my life :')
Me too
the same \
And millions of people just realized she could sing like 2 years ago... lol.
🤷🏿♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️👍🏽💪🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I knew in the beginning
I love that in her acoustic performances and especially this one she does these intricate piano intros and if they stood on their own they could easily be mistaken for a classical piece. To me personally the intro sounds very Chopin-esque maybe even a little bit of Bach too and as a piano player myself I fangirl a lot when she plays like this,
This is the kind of RUclips video I'm coming back to every now and then
Sia and Gaga
Player Name and any winehouse , Mariah Carey and Adele .
Supernatural Swamp AIDS SIA AND GAGA !!!
Lady Gaga is hated for dressing weird, but seriously now... her music is pretty good
Baby, she's THE QUEEN OF MUSIC, not "pretty good". All of her songs are difficult to sing and preform, I mean come on Katy, Madonna, Taylor, Ariana, Selena, Demi, NO ONE CAN DO IT LIKE GAGA!
Amina Koons ......okay? my queen is more like CL, but okay lol
+CL_2NE1_queen I love CL too but Gaga is life ✌
Who would hate her for that? That 4+ outfits/day period was really impressive to look at.
Welcome to 2016... you're a little late
You can love or not what lady gaga do, but you can't say that is not amazing.
Still one of the most iconic moments in music history
She is not comparable to other 'artists'. She is the true LIVE performer, and no one beats her. It always was so. This means she's genious Musician, having no need to suit 'modern standards'. She knows it. Classical Lady she is. Since 2009, this and VMA bloody performance are my etalons of musicality and theater in its best! (Born This Way any one? ;D) She puts all soul in music. Cheek to Cheek, Joanne... She was adorable yet singing Captivated... Bad, manys now lack musical taste, Gaga and someone like Adele save us keeping music. And don't forget CLASSICS! ^)
She is the definition of artist!!!!
After the Oscar appearance things will never be the same for this young lady. The world now knows what a true artist she is.
The rest of the world really late about this. We know it since her first acoustic performance. They have a lot to catch up!
cliffedward she rehearsed the Oscar shit for 2 monthS!!!!!!!!!! and i realized she improved since 2008
As an almost 43 year old and a hardcore Madonna fan….. wow Lady Gaga you are a true musician and pioneer of contemporary music. A true prodigy xxx
Would it be wrong to say that if she was to release an album. .or even a few songs..where it's only her, her piano. .maybe a guitar and maybe even a violin. . That it would be quite amazing? ... I'm not a fan of her music. . I'll be honest. But stumbling around youtube I found this video and I have to say, the woman has an amazing voice. Just curious.
I agree you (y) !
In september will be out her new jazz album with Tony Benett "cheek to cheek" and it will be very different from her usual music
So she should change her ways cause you dont like it? and it has sold gold everywhere. As not a fan of her "music" why speak up? sigh
She's making an acoustic Album right now, jcynavarro!
ebbok I don't know why you felt the need to respond that way - artists do side projects and he's suggesting one that would work well. She obviously has an interest in doing so - this video is evidence of that. And he said she had an amazing voice. He's not insulting her, he's just saying he's not a fan of her electronic pop sound but is acknowledging her abilities as a singer and pianist.
I'm obsessed with the introduction
LOVE THIS VERSON!!! its so theatrical!!! its awesomeeeeeee!!! LOVE YOU GAGA
14(!) years.
And i still get goosebumps.
Gaga is a great pianist, singer and she writes all her songs and wrote for other artists. It's sad how people assume someone is untalented just because they don't like its music.
i love the way she's playing and singing! so much passion ♥
When she first debuted I did my searches and noticed immediately that she recorded her records in pop format but almost always switched between performing the recorded version or did a live rendition. This performance is amazing and her voice even then is clear and powerful. She's been giving it all to us since day one.
Such a talented woman. I remember when her first few songs were hitting the radio. I was in an anti-mainstream phase and wanted to dislike her at first, but no one can deny her incredible voice and songwriting. All these years later I still come back to listen ❤
This woman has a lot of talent, is amazing and one of the best artists in the world and in the twenty one century
this is why i love her so much
still gives me chills. 2009 was great!
Lady Gaga is definitely a legendary talented vocalist and performer
I saw Lady Gaga's Enigma show in Las Vegas last week. The BEST CONCERT EVER!! She has an incredible voice, plays her own instruments, and can DANCE like a fiend. Terrific stage presence and vocals that brought the house down. Visually stunning stage and set and multiple costume changes made the concert even better than I thought possible. I love Paparazzi and she sang this and many of her popular songs as well as her newer material. LOVE IT!!
Lady Gaga is a brilliant performer. She is the real deal. Her level of musicianship, her care for her fans, and her raw vocal talent is unparalleled. I keep watching this video because it is so good.
Still amazing no backup singers no other instrument players just a voice and piano
This woman has always been fucking talented
Its 2014 & this performance still slays my life.
It’s 2024 now and it still slays mine
She is one of the most talented and amazing human beings i ever seen or heard of!
This version is a million times better than the actual recorded studio version!
Almost every song she does "acoustic" or lets say just her and a piano/keyboard is better than every studio version she recorded!
She is sooo incredibly good at really nailing and capturing the authenticity of the moment, and of the song being played!
Nine years after A Star Is Born. 💙 She was always a talent.
This is my favorite version of Paparazzi ❤❤
I've watched her live. she is exceptional
ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICAL TALENTS OF THE HUMAN RACE. HOW AMAZING TO EXPERIENCE THIS.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. XOXO.
Kevin Andrew not the human race. Of the monsters race.
she’s so talented it’s insane
i have come back to listen to this, at least once a week, for 13 years. so damn good.
The performance that made me a fan of Lady Gaga.
This and her MTV 2009 performance.
@@ades1394 i love that one but too bad there is no decent footage of it
@@wowoking2 Ikr? We are robbed, i mean, where's the actual clear footage? 😭
Same. I never kept up with her music because it’s not really my thing (usually) but this really made me realize how talented she is.
Still the most beautiful rendition of Paparazzi
Agreed! The new Jazz version she did is also amazing!
"I promise i´ll be kind, but i won´t stop until that boy is mine"
always gets me
I’m late to the party, but Gaga, this is so amazing! I love the lyrics and the little staccato parts in the left hand were perfect! ❤️
Don't stop being weird gaga, and bring more acoustic songs!
Fucking talented , yes she's a commercial artist , but one of the bests ! her talent is true
I’m not a fan of lady Gaga but I do admire her voice and recognise that she is one of the rare ones nowadays who can actually sing
She is an incredible pianist, singer, performer, actress, style icon, person
