Lady Gaga and... Crayon Pop

In case you hadn't heard already, Lady Gaga recently announced the opening act for her upcoming tour: K-pop group Crayon Pop. Do you know them? Perhaps not, but they wear helmets and jump up and down, if that helps you at all. T-ara also started their career with a signature paws for their first song, and Crayon Pop now looks to headline one of the biggest music acts. Lady Gaga recently announced it on twitter, as did Billboard, so we know it to be true, and I wonder if this will mean anything for Crayon Pop's international career. 

And the other question, at least I asked immediately, was why? Why Crayon Pop and not another group? They are relatively new, so they don't exactly bring anything to the table for Lady Gaga's tour.

Of course, there is also the comparison between the Wonder Girls / Jonas Brothers and Crayon Pop / Lady Gaga. Of course, Wonder Girls were significantly more established than Crayon Pop in Korea, whereas Lady Gaga is significantly more popular as a pop artist than Jonas Brothers in the U.S. And of course, she has connections to a non-tween fan group that will certainly cement Crayon Pop more. So we'll see what happens with this latest development.
