When Maria Aragon, an 11-year-old from Winnipeg, Canada, posted a homemade video of herself performing 'Born This Way' in February, she wasn't expecting much to happen.





But the video quickly caught the attention of Lady Gaga herself and skyrocketed Ms. Aragon to fame. To date, it has been viewed more than 40 million times.


年2月的一天,家住加拿大温尼伯湖(Winnipeg)的11岁小女孩玛莉亚•阿拉贡(Maria Aragon)上传了一段自己录制的视频,里面是她自弹自唱美国著名歌手女神卡卡(Lady Gaga)的歌曲"天生如此"(Born This Way)。当时她并没有料到后头会发生些什么事情。



Now, Ms. Aragon is moving to the next stage: recording her own album in Manila with Star Records, a leading recording company in the Philippines, that is due to be released Aug. 22. Ms. Aragon's parents are from the Philippines.


但很快,女神卡卡本人看到了这段视频并大力转发,小阿拉贡从此声名鹊起。时至今日,这段视频的点击量已经超过4000万次。

Her ascent to YouTube fame took off on a Wednesday night in February, when she recalls posting the video online. Lady Gaga saw it and was so impressed with her rendition of the song that she retweeted a link to the video
