Harper Sings Duet With 10-Year-Old YouTube Sensation

The prime minister jammed with Maria Aragon in Winnipeg Tuesday.

Is Harper attempting to shore up the coveted Gaga vote? Actually, he was in Winnipeg courting the city’s large Filipino demographic, and his campaign stop involved sitting down at the piano with Maria Aragon. The pint-sized chanteuse became famous overnight after pop star Lady Gaga tweeted that she had cried watching the 10-year-old cover one of her songs on YouTube. Aragon appeared on stage with Lady Gaga at a recent Toronto concert, which was likely more thrilling than rocking out with the prime minister. Harper watched as Aragon played Gaga’s Born This Way, and then joined her on a rendition of John Lennon’s Imagine.
