Turkey or Gaga?

 If you haven't heard the artist formerly  known as Stefani Germanotta has an upcoming Thanksgiving special airing on ABC on Turkey Day. It will feature an interview with Gaga and Katie Couric. This special follows in the vein of several concert specials featuring artists like Britney Spears, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Jusitn Timberlake airing on various networks over the past few years.
 And while I don't know the ratings on all of these specials, they have definitely raised the profile on many of these artists. However, by the time these specials aired, it wasn't really necessary because many people had already knew who they were through other mediums. But it does add a nice treat in response to the ridiculous amount of football games that air over the weekend.
 What I really would like is a concert special featuring the various charity concerts many celebrities put on, but due to pricing and geographical issues, most of us can't see them beyond a grainy YouTube post. For instance, Alicia Keys hosted her 8th annual Black Ball to support AIDS treatment worldwide and Justin Timberlake put on his annual Shriners' Golf Tournament and Concert for Shriners' Hospital. While it was great fundraising, it would have been better to air it to a national audience who might be willing to donate.
 Now I know some of you little monsters want to see Mother Monster, but I prefer my uncle's fried turkey rather than her sociopolitical eggs.
