Two years after her previous passage in our region Lady Gaga sets down again in the Antwerp Sportpaleis, the Born this way ball this time. Gaga has meanwhile her superstar status only strengthened: 23 million albums sold, 64 million singles, nearly 30 million followers on Twitter ... The New York singer may truly become the Queen of Pop, though Madonna is still wriggling against.
The audience was therefore with palpable tension waiting for Mother Monster. The discharge was like a shockwave through the Arena when Gaga started it and in the half-dark on a mechanical unicorn as an alien lady on the pentagonal strode the catwalk show of Highway unicorn. After which a three-dimensional, holographic projection appeared that operation 'Kill the bitch' announced 'alien' Lady Gaga from her planet escapes to a new breed tolerant to found the earth, and that was of course not. Outrageous costumes Shocking as they like, it crept Gaga in the show also an inflatable vagina forth - in the dark were the terrified faces of the parents whose children whisked were unfortunately not seen - and with Born this way was the party really in corridor put.
Pounding beats, tight choreography with an army of scantily clad dancers and outrageous costumes. Yes, an updated version of the infamous meat dress. Tastefully was not always, but Gaga still seemed to have listened to the criticism that they recently got to swallow on her thick ass. Unlike previous shows, the diva appeared this time is no longer on the stage in unflattering leather g-string. They chose a more revealing outfit, but rushed nonetheless complex and energetic charge from one corner of the stage to the other, despite the eleven pounds she'd recently been added.
Beautiful voice The pop diva made a great impression when she went to her piano - hidden in a sturdy motor to which the Belgian flag hung - subdued some ballads sung. Thus she proved again that next to a beast is a true artist, who writes beautiful ballads and a powerful voice. Tonight Antwerp is a place of love and tolerance, she said. Gaga took between a few times the time with her "little monsters" contact. It was she by the enthusiastic fans pelted with many hugs. The big hits like Bad Romance, Just Dance (the song according Gaga changed her life), Alejandro and Poker face went like hot cakes in the course, and at the last encore called Gaga Marry the night even a few fans with them on the stage that it could meet backstage after the show. But Gaga had a warning for her fans on the VIP tribune: "You stay here coolly sit, do something f * cking effort to get your free ticket if I bring a good show!" So, that Sat Everybody is a star, reads the slogan of Gaga, but for now it remains itself still prefer the most. That allowed them tonight again prove in the Sportpaleis.

The pop queen Lady Gaga can not be controlled in Milan
MILAN - A Forum of Assago sold out, with eleven thousand two hundred paying, the show was futuristic and the provocative Queen pop did not disappoint the expectations of those who, several months before the date of the concert, had already won a place in the arena of Milan, the only Italian date of the theater world tour dedicated the album 'Born This Way' (six million copies sold worldwide).
The stage, as a good tradition of every concert weblog Lady Gaga, was a container of infinite special effects, from gigantic castle that has been the backdrop to the concert-saga, a fake horse ridden by opening Mother GOAT, wicked alter ego the pop star, aliens at will, a four-poster bed, the two wheels half bike and half Lady Gaga ridden by a rider, as well as various references to the world of fashion.
Already at the stroke of 21, time fixed for the opening of the concert was staged the first provocation in perfect Gaga style: the star of the evening has in fact made its entry in the form of a simulated birth from the bottom of a gigantic half rag doll, complete with a zip open at the time of re-birth of the singer, dressed in white (before starting his changes color).
During the show, then, a multitude of sexual innuendo and lots of space dedicated to the public which launched on the stage of all, understood that the singer did not fail to bite . A dedication, the Queen of Pop wanted to talk about the family of Italian descent and her father, Joseph Germanotta.
The ladder, like every self-respecting pop-rock (so she called her at the time the new roundup of concerts), long, interrupted occasionally by some pill Gaga thought, and packed with a series of songs Synopsis successful career until now ground by the voice of 'Bad Romance. From 'Highway Unicorn' to 'Just Dance' Marry the Night ', from' Alejandro and the ever 'Paparazzi.
In the public stormed the inputs of the Milanese building already in the afternoon, a good dose of fluo wigs ordinance, bright objects and various nylon stockings worn strictly already in tatters. Many, the special guests of the evening, the ultra photographed by Simona Ventura, Donatella Versace, acclaimed by the audience and greeted several times from the stage by the singer who has sworn that she enjoyed it a lot 'during his Italian sojourn, the designer has decided to participate in the musical event itself, settling into a chair placed for the occasion just behind the audio mixer and spend a good part of the time on your feet to dance. Before the concert made his entrance also Giorgio Armani, settled a few rows back, on the tribune reserved for guests.

None other than Lady Gaga, the greatest show (not after the Big Bang, no exaggeration) are the fans. It is not easy to see an audience so heterogeneous a concert: children, men, women of all ages, in "costume" or simply with an accessory that is reminiscent of Lady Gaga. What sets Gaga apart from other artists– as rightly noted Andrea Laffranchi in Corriere the other day reviewing the concert in Antwerp – is his visceral relationship with fans. And then, of course, there are the VIPs coming into the stands on an imaginary – but not much – red carpet, greeted by ovations and shout: are they those unreachable, not Gaga. Is there anyone who has even the throne – Donatella Versace sitting comfortably in an armchair of strategically positioned skin next to the mixer.
The sight of fans seems to obfuscate the real one, which starts at 9, after a wait cheated based on classical music.
The lineup promises 24 songs – it seems, on paper, almost as long as a Springsteen Concert. A footnote to the copy delivered to the press says "as of 16th of August" – the sequences of these shows are obviously immovable. As well as high, very high expectations of those who want a spectacle.
When you lower the lights, is dropped a drape revealing an enormous Castle: that's where Lady Gaga arrives on stage riding (sham, driven by some of her numerous dancers), and then go out and re-enter the scene out of the belly of a pregnant woman – she's inflatable "Born this way". And there, in the courtyard of the castle that moves like a ghost on the semicircular walkway surrounding the pit or touring with the bike on the cover of "Born this way"
The aim of the show is to tell a story – the fight between Lady Gaga his vision "free" of being ("I don't give a ****" is central to the show's phrase) and Mother GOAT, a disturbing face encased in a prism that wafts on the Castle. But in concerts and in recordings is difficult, you know: the songs are another thing to books and films.
The narrative of the show is then entrusted to the "manifesto" and the long spoken sections that Gaga fits between a song and a few non-spectacular musical event – like kidnapping artfully placed before "Judas". But to dominate the scene and to ensure balance between entertainment, history and music is the Castle: its constant and disturbing presence ensures an underlying unity to show, to find Lady Gaga, her Ballets and his outfit changes.
(It is one of the oldest rules in the world, to create a story: the scene and action had been thoroughly explained by Aristotle. Yes, he spoke of Greek tragedy, but the poetry is the basic text of every modern narrative: didn't discover some Hollywood or a concert).
Lady Gaga finds a good balance between the spectacle and music: the band is hidden on different levels in the side arches of the Castle, much to appear invisible – but you feel thanks to very high volumes; the songs don't seem to ever crush from history or from the show, as often happens in these cases.
Perhaps the only downside of the show is the large space devoted to monologues of Gaga – especially before and during "Hair": Thanks everyone, from fans to stylists to the family. That would kill the plan and section heading, which had literally sparks did in previous tours. If that song and the subsequent "Princess die" she sung in full, uninterrupted and without naming the famous stylist on his throne of skin – the piano/voice segment was the most intense moment of the concert.
After this long segment more spoken than sung, the band comes on stage from their hideouts and the show starts again with "Yoü and I" – the most musical moment of the show, you seem to attend a concert of AOR Rock with the audience singing in chorus about electric guitars of "Electric" chapel or witnessed the wedding accompanied by Spanish guitar which introduces "Americano". Here come the hits, straight to the end: "Poker face", "Alejandro", "Paparazzi", until the Encore with "The edge of glory" and "Marry" the night ".
After two hours of shows, monologues and songs, Lady Gaga WINS on Mother GOAT. While fans had already won on confidence, abundantly rewarded by this spectacle.

The Lady Gaga concert at the Forum di Assago (Milano) of October 2, 2012 was the pop event of the year. The lineup of the evening saw perform The Darkness (authors of a short setlist from best of) before the star of the moment, who brought all her most famous hits surrounded by a monstrous scene, complete with Castle, lots of extras and dancers, resounding and lights set a space in front of the stage populated by her fans. The return of Gaga in Italy had to cope with the strike of public transport, which have forced the large audience (the event is sold out for months) to get to the location by car or other means more or less luck. The Darkness have essentially looted "Permission To Land" ("Get Your Hands Off My Woman", "Love Is Only a Feeling", "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" much to do), extolling the relatively few present and blasting the monsters featured in the pit in front of the stage. Cheers and long countdown until Lady more biz chat today. Nobody wants to miss it, not even the so-called vip who flock to the tribunes reserved (of which I shall seek the names elsewhere because you don't give anything to write them).
Despite a small delay for technical problems, when the show part is the absolute pandemonium: hysterical screams and high volumes, for what is a colossal and beyond a simple pop show (who knows what it would have been in a stadium, sic, ED). Rock, dance moments, most intimate situations (a few actually) and a lot of praise for "her" Italian public by Lady Gaga, who does not forget even a classic: sings live but without using any playback, making clear that her legacy is just starting. Conquering even more attendees (if proof were needed) with a t-shirt, demonstrated in the second half of the set, which reads "Italian Pride" and changing "American" with "Italian", initially on a mechanical horse, and then in the meat mincer and using well the megacastello prepared to stage Fund. Exciting evening, soon in a location much more roomy and fulfilling soon as thousands of fans without tickets for tonight.

Lady Gaga was ' born ' from a giant rag doll who apparently ejected on stage at the Forum, transformed for the occasion into a giant vaguely Gothic hued Castle. It's so started as provocative as possible the long-awaited (and esauritissimo) concert in Milan, the only Italian date Born This Way Ball tour. Waiting for the Queen of pop a screaming crowd of 12,000 triggered little monsters, many of whom have spent the previous night outside the gates to grab the coveted hurdle, and a host of vip and vip of seeds as they saw so the stands of Assago: among others have glimpsed Simona Ventura, Gianna Nannini, the ever-present Donatella Versace, Giorgio Armani, Emma, Platinette, Alessandra Amoroso, Belen, Ligabue and many others.
The Lady Gaga concert in Milan was spectacular: great scenery, lights, sound, special effects, glamour, and lots, lots of music. Not particularly refined, agree, but certainly addictive, allegra, overflowing. The audience is amused, VIPs as well and she, Miss Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga, proved once again to be the musical character of the moment. In fact, not an artist, but a fact the character.
The entire lineup, rather similar to the others on the tour, was in just two hours and twenty minutes of concert during which several times Lady Gaga, as well as interpret the 24 pieces scheduled, greeted with a loud voice, her friend (and her stylist, as well as its twin failure) Donatella Versace. But too many times, because the audience has meandered some nuisance to this insistent macam continued throughout the evening.
Nothing to say instead on Lady Gaga: absolutely perfect and could not be otherwise given the usual use of playback. Beautiful course also suits, costumes, choreography, everything.
In short, it was worth being there and it's a real shame that so many little monsters Italians could not attend: the passion that fans of our country have always shown towards Miss devoutly Germanotta deserved a second concert.

The "Born This Way Ball Tour", the date of 2 October in Milan, was absolute perfection. We have no stone to throw. We have disarmed, damn.
In the historical moment in which you compete to have the best technology, you live on that stage put a heavy medieval castle. In the era when big tours seem only ugly replicas, you twist everything I imagined and keep us glued to our chairs (so to speak) for two and a half hours telling everything you go through my head, story of your entire family.
You upset once again the rules of the game, offering richness, solidity but not fiction.
At one point we did not know if we were seeing a concert or something completely different. A magic show, perhaps? Provocation testing, all mingled bringing the chaos of magnificence and more human reality.
Not until we saw her riding a horse robot, birth itself, become the body of a motorcycle and dancing with a mask that even the most gruesome of horror was still able to think.
The contact with the public, that thing stardom from the golden age has finally killed, it was not only the homework reported in the lineup, but a long time, huge in fact, in whichs he spoke slowly, in plain words, to be understand the audience and express her love for Italy and its intimate interest in equality, the rights (homosexuals, too) and against any kind of censorship (remember the story of Manila, in the Philippines, has been the subject of preventive protests on his concert).
For some, it will also be pimp, but that woman has discarded chocolate bars given away by the public, wearing T-shirts, flags kissed, if close to hearts, kissed her lips one of his fans, took my hand hand Little Monster most deserving, took the stage to his side at the end. When "Hair", was interrupted ten times because the audience was shouting words of love.
Fourteen costume changes, lights and a huge investment of resources unbelievable. It is the new number one pop artist and despite all jumping up and down the stage like a four year old girl coming out of the courtyard interval asylum. "Do you know why I did this? Order to wear clothes like this." You can not blame her, every word is right, at the right time, appropriate to her age.
In the eternal struggle over who is the absolute queen of pop, she brought home a result proving to be a princess who lives her tale in a perfect world made of high heels, fabrics that sparkle, wigs and turns. Princesses there are a million, but she is now too busy to write its history, can not think of one of the others (including hides at least one Grimilde). I do not really need.
The rest is history: original choreography that encourage public participation, a voice that became imperfect only for the sake of humanity, a ladder made almost only hit, with special attention to songs from "Born This Way" the most beautiful ( but perhaps a little 'difficult for the general public) as "Scheibe" and "American," two gems from the collection.
What we did then, and what were they doing there Simona Ventura, Gianna Nannini, Emma Brown, Emis Killa, Virginio Simonelli, Nicola Savino and many other celebrities in the reception area dedicated? They had something to learn, they were amazed, excited, smiling, and intimately involved unarmed. Put enthusiasm into every single moment when you are on top of the world, it is almost a miracle.
The final image, that of Lady Gaga in a singing "The Edge of Glory" almost without instrumentation, covered by a kimono Versace and on top of a tower, a concept was made clear: if you take away all those superstructures and those excesses, clothes (beautiful) and the scenery, provocations and sexy dancers, choreography and lights, the band and singers, her talent remains. That is enough.

Lady Gaga conquers Milan with the art pop show - Born This Way Ball
Milan curtsying to the Queen of pop Lady GaGa. The "Born This Way Ball Tour" arrived in Italy by conquering the milanese audience with pop science a spectacle unprecedented. Tickets sold out immediately for the only Italian Mrs Germanotta stage that is by no means spared giving the audience more than 2 hours of music.
Fans of the singer have taken early in the morning, some even 48 hours earlier, outside the Mediolanum Forum di Assago in order to conquer the Monster Pit ", the" magic circle "which was aimed to be as close as possible to the star. Despite the strikes of public transportation, the city of Milan was besieged by "Little Monsters" from every part of Italy to be transformed overnight into "Lady GaGa's city".
The SHOW-a huge bleak Castle, which resembles somewhat that of witches, it was the scene where GaGa has moved between a variety of special effects, change clothes and futuristic and provocative performance. The concert opens with a huge stuffed doll from which GaGa emerges, dressed in white, signifying a childbirth and through for a new life, for a revival. Shortly after the find sitting on a fake horse to Unicorn Highway (Road To Love) in the crowd literally delirious. The voice is all live, strictly for the duration of the concert, although some malpensante dared say that some parts were in playback.
FASHION & MUSIC-many dress changes, the presence of aliens, dancers, choreographies and the moments in which the artist gets to the heart without need of wigs, sequins or eccentric outfits. No shortage of sexual provocation, the calls to her "little monsters" and many, but many pearls of GaGa "thought", which stops several times to chat with fans that throw around on stage: chocolate, banners, flags, t-shirts. During the evening she repeatedly stressed her love for Italy, for fashion and made a special dedication to his family, who is of Italian origin. Many songs in a playlist: to Marry the Night "to" Poker Face ", and" Paparazzi "," Bad Romance "," Alejandro "," Judas ". To the tune of "American" sports a t-shirt "Italian Pride" that sends the audience into delirium and during the performance several times changed the title singing "Italian". One of the most special moments of the show comes when it turns into a strange creature half woman and half motorcycle, just as it appears on the cover of her latest album "Born This Way", which has sold over 6 million copies worldwide.
PARTERRES of EXCEPTION-Several vip guests at this social event: first the friend Donatella Versace who the night before had been to dinner, who hailed from the stage several times, but there were also a Emma Brown literally unleashed, a photogenic Simona Ventura and the fashion designer Giorgio Armani. A concert that doesn't deserve to be called such. Lady GaGa has class, talent and what it takes to sell and has managed to put on display, like it or not, a show of pop-art unique and ever seen of its kind. We hope you come back soon in Italy, but this time in a much more capacious location that may allow many fans remained without a ticket and not only to attend to GaGa Show!

After almost two years of waiting, Lady Gaga is back to perform in Milan with the only Italian stage Born This Way Ball: tickets sold out in a couple of hours and the Forum di Assago was perfect. More than a concert, a show to remember. For at least 7 reasons.
1 If someone had been unaware of the origins of Lady Gaga, after the concert it is impossible not to know that Miss Germanotta has Italian blood. Between songs, were a number of references to origins Palermo, anecdotes about the family (grandfather died two years ago at the grandmother who continues to cook despite blindness) and kisses the flag.
2 Gaga loves fashion and Milan is the city the right to make them. And not just parading on the catwalk set up around the stage, but above all with the many (too many?) thanks to Donatella Versace. Her stylist, who sat with her daughter Allegra near the location of the mixer, was nominated as many times as the singer's dress changes: a fortnight.
3 The public in Milan is like a diesel: it takes a while to heat up. For the first part of the show is a little warm, at least until Gaga hasn't invoked the little monsters: "I know you have to work tomorrow, but I don't give a ****. Get up on your feet! "
4 The Milan concert was a small gay pride. This time Lady Gaga has become an interpreter and standard bearer of the rights of homosexuals, bisexuals and trans. And said this: "Italian men are beautiful. And I mean both the straight and gay ".
5 After controversies about pounds and the admission of a past with eating disorders, on stage in Milan came the chocolate: Gaga has got as a gift from a fan, she offered to dancers, but then asked where were the Nutella.
6 Up to superstar role of record is not easy. And even find ways to displace all. This Lady Gaga tour we test with a scenography-Castle, the entrance to the horse and the now famous sculpture-dresses. But even with a couple of murders, groping with the dancers, simulated cunnilingus and a fellatio.
7 The Gaga's musical talent is unquestionable. Her voice is chilling and is valued especially in You and I, where she accompanies on piano, and in the grand final of The Edge of Glory. Prior to wish everyone good night. In Italian, of course

Lady GaGa in concert: we are all invited to the prom!
What's better for Lady GaGa – but especially for us-which celebrate the release of perfume Fame in Italy with a concert? We had seen the first time on stage in 2010 and we were kidnapped. One blond Wren with a powerful voice and a sense of revenge every bit as impressive.
Back with a date that has gathered followers and fans from around the Italian boot and beyond: Born This Way Ball Tour stages the fantasies of Queen of maleficent and of pop. Haunted castles from praying mantises, an explosive mixture of birth and rebirth on stage as it is in its style of istriona and Narrator of dreams and nightmares.
Bad girl because I misunderstood? The same old story of someone "different" that does not happen? Perhaps, but it works and its not the fan but something more like herself at every turn calls upon uttering words of affection and brotherhood.
This time the scene clothes are Versace and she did not fail to mention it and did not even left out the pride for its Italian origins.
Two and a half hours of pure crystal entertainment where you are not spared in anything: we applaud you too without delay Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

MILAN- no discounts in the circus Lady Germanotta. Everything is served by one immense shameless spectacle nor hesitation. The rule is hit straight to the paunch, as well as the eyes and ears. Hit and stun. Born this way ball, the tour she is doing around the world and last night landed at the Forum di Assago (with its 10,000 seats), is a delirious journey, a SideShow Gothic and even ironic, worthy of a playground, a video game or a rhetorical musical provocative as unbridled.
Two hours of self-denial that begins in a medieval castle (a bit of fairy castle, a little House of Barbie) and madame Gaga that emerges with the notes of tambureggianti Highway unicorn (road to love ") on a horse and accompanied by an infantry of ballerinas. And so as well, to tell some kind of story around its superego where there is even the suggestion of a fight with his double: Lady Gaga is an alien on the run from a bad hologram that he wants to do out there and he has his own face imprisoned in a rotating Prism, Mother G.O.A.T. (goat in English is the goat).
But the story is just an excuse for a show of excesses. Even when Lady is the good girl, repeatedly proclaims his "italianità" and thanked the audience who spent the money on tickets (and adds: "I know that tomorrow we have to raise, I do not give anything, I just finished the concert I must depart by bus for France»). And even more so when not waiver to make the bad girl and invites viewers to males reach it in the dressing room (where, shameless, says it will set aside their quite a servizietto) or, in the same spirit, mimics masturbation or sexual act, or leaves a sort of giant vagina (greeting: "Italy are the future ').
Is this enough to hold a two-hour show? It is not enough and the first to know is the Italian-American singer, trying to convey his passion for music by giving a solid pop-opera made of tableaux vivant accompanied by a parade of bizarre costumes (also signed by Armani and Versace, both present at the show): from a bra-horned headdress with a machine gun, in a dress of loins and strips similar to the one already performed years ago at the Mtv awards. All while browsing through songs: from Hooker, Governnment Born this way, Bad romance, a long acoustic set (vocals and piano), American, Alejandro, to Paparazzi.
No doubt, the concert is a great test of professionalism scenic, but madame Gaga also does, unlike Madonna, know how to sing (the idea of jazz album with veteran Tony Bennett reveals awareness) despite the widespread use of playback. It is clear that Angelina Germanotta took Madonna unabashedly as a model, maximizing her theatrical ambitions and, together, making them appear old. Yes, Gaga is a great paracula, capable of turning any omelet.

Lady Gaga did not disappoint the expectations of fans who have flocked to the Assago Forum for the only Italian date of "Born this way Ball Tour": 11 dancers, 11 dress changes and an impressive number of voices intoned her hits, performed strictly live.
There have been transgression, and double meaning and everything that the pop star has always used his supporters. A spectacle shocking to those who are not accustomed to see performances by the artist. And among these many vip guests, including some "colleague" that will take advantage of the concert to steal any ideas. In the audience there were: Simona Ventura, Donatella Versace, Emma Brown, Giorgio Armani, sat behind the Versace that was reserved a comfortable black sofa apart placed in the mixer, Emis Killa, Marco Mengoni, Nicola Savino, Gianna Nannini in great shape and cheaper by Aurora, daughter of Michelle Hunziker and Eros Ramazzotti.
A spectacle thought to every detail which involved considerable expenditure of energy to Miss Germanotta, for a two-hour show, designed and full of special effects widely appreciated by fans. The singer appeared punctually at the stroke of 21, a prisoner, over a huge black horse to the tune of "Unicorn Highway (Road to Love)". Evil is represented by an alien-like mask, Lady Gaga's face then appears within a diamond suspended that will also be included at the end to sing part of "Paparazzi". The performance space, perhaps most shocking of all, "Born this way", the song which gives its name to the show: the artist came on a huge balloon that has reproduced the idea of a pregnant woman, from which Lady Gaga would "drive brought forth".
A small return to origins, when away from transgression was performing in clubs, with major hits like "You and I" and "Hair" who have seen sitting at the piano, in a much quieter version. Then she invited a fan onstage to sit behind and at the end of the performance she kissed in the mouth. During "Judas" star is abused tied with ropes up to vengeance with Mithras. Between "Americano" and the hit "Poker Face," Lady Gaga surrenders to the fetish of the flesh. As a great butcher shop there is praise of red blood and also an important message: "women today is not treated like meat".
The latest songs make explode the MediolanumForum between "Paparazzi", "Alejandro", "Poker Face" and the Encore "The Edge Of Glory" and "Marry" The Night ". In short, Lady Gaga than when it landed in 2010 with "The Monster Ball Tour" has multiplied the fans around her, she published other discs (due out new "ArtPop"), held high media attention and especially enriched even further the sense of the live show. A tale of modern and ancient, many politically correct messages, show run its 60th day. And all live. One show questionable messages launched and the form used, but certainly having an effect.

Lady Gaga horror show between aliens and oxtail pieces enchant the little monsters
Faith rather than devotion. Those "little monsters", the gremlins as she baptized them Lady Gaga, rely in the hope of who you put in the hands of a Saint or medical adviser. The enthusiasm, that of monsters, is different from the hysteria triggered by boy bands or morbidly instigated by Madonna; the "gagapensiero" has created a symbiosis that resembles rather the metalheads with historians groups like Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden. A thirteen-sect-motivated in their thirties (eleven thousand) yesterday, not slowed by the urban transport strike, arrived early at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan-Assago-only Italian date of Born this Way Ball Tour-more space to enter the arena, those "monster pit" the space under the stage where jostle, those loyalists that the 26-year-old pop star post-Madonna' castle has fussed and incited nonstop for two and a half hours. Mothers of children was not shouting the latest recommendations, ' never turn off your cell phone, send a message every 30 minutes, see you here just ends the concert ' but already those, devoured by anxiety, not listened to more. They weren't "gaga-clones"-the priest urged them to be creative, not imitate anyone, not even her-but a troubling crowd of stand-ins ready for a remake of Blade Runner. Dark, metal, punk, gothic, emo, trash-but also all in one look. is this the secret of "monster". Become a star in the sharpest of the record crisis (the onset of 2008), the New York singer, aka Stefani Germanotta, has sold more than 25 million albums and 65 million individuals. But she continues to invest with an extraordinary energy at concerts; three tours in just over three years, with this Born this Way which is a rework in most key scenic Monster Ball Tour; a spectacle choreographed as the most complex technological and Broadway musicals. In her show is the eternal struggle between good and evil, Gaga is prisoner of a mechanical Unicorn, challenge the terrible Mother Goat, appears between quarters of beef with the legendary dress(' untreated never again the woman like a piece of meat "), she dances and sings with the grit of a rocker (all his hits: Born this way, AndI Yoü, Paparazzi, The edge of glory, Marry the night), in dialogue with the monsters (I have created you») and shall submit to a dizzying exchange of elaborate costumes. The crooner Tony Bennett (with which Gaga will jazz CDs after publishing, in 2013, the new album titled Artpop) called her the Picasso of pop. Far Fetched? Or does each generation has the genius that she deserves?

Nice, France reviews
Quote:
The pop diva occurs on two nights at the Palais Nikaia as part of her world tour. Here is why you don't want to miss it under any circumstances...
(1) It will be seen closely
OK, like Madonna and Johnny Hallyday before her, Lady Gaga has failed to fill the Charles Ehrmann Stadium and, if she plays twice in a row to Nikaia, tonight and tomorrow, is not because she particularly likes Nice, but because it took to settle the 15 000 people who had booked their places in Erhmann stage (where in expected 50,000). But it is rather good news for spectators. The show of the Born This Way Ball, staged around a gigantic castle setting strong medieval, with very few video projections, is better suited to large venues and stages. Spectators at the stadium of France are seen in. At Nikaia, the Gaga very closely since the advance of scene will come almost touching the top ranks of bleachers and catwalk toured the pit. Little monsters (his fans) the more rapid will be ringside.
(2) The show is top
Born This Way Ball, which could see at start of European tour in Helsinki, is formidable. A true "feelgood show', which one leaves with banana and block reloaded. Musically, it is faithful to the album it promotes, oscillating between hard rock, glam, dance, hip-hop, burlesque and baroque, with power climbs which raise the public chairs and rare moments of calm during which Stefani Germanotta in piano-voice, proves she's a real singer, in addition to an extraordinary performer. Visually, it is the great Barnum: the Castle opens to let out musicians and dancers, Gaga appears perched on a horse and then transforms into a hybrid creature, known mi-moto, as on the cover of the album, before of rebounding in the rounds to play the imprisoned princesses.
(3) Gaga is at bottom
If it really took 11 kg in recent weeks, as claimed the gazettes is not lack of exercise on stage every night: two hours Gaga does not stop. She climbs on the towers, paces up and down the catwalk and dance continuously, no disappearing scene than the time of change, faster than Arturo Bracheti.
Unlike Madonna, which rests on her dancers and the Visual effects of the show, Gaga made the show, old-fashioned, continuously spring the crowd to participate. Point of having sometimes struggled to regain her breath between songs.
(4) It is closer to its audience
Despite the circus that surrounds this mega production, Gaga stays close to her fans, the little monsters, to which she devoted several minutes every night, coming to sit on the edge of a stage to receive their offerings and discuss with them. In Helsinki, one of them has even thrown his cellphone! "Do you want that I call your mother to tell her?" has scolded it Gaga, before inviting him to join her backstage after the concert. She also brought up two children on stage to sing and dance with her and also invited in his dressing room after the show. Nice the Gaga!
(5) The Darkness is the first part
Lady Gaga is thought to be a pop diva, but basically she is a real rocker. She loves hard and that is why she chose The Darkness to do its part. The English group practice hard glam very influenced by Queen, Slade and Uriah Heep, with a hair-like singer (Justin Hawkins) really crossed. An excellent introduction to the Born This Way Ball, which some titles are enough also heavy and two guitarists are going share the lion on many titles.

Grasse a new delegate to the Grasse pound
The pop diva has given, this Wednesday night at Nice, the first of her two shows at the palais Nikaia. A euphoric, almost intimate show at the spectacular scenography before a full room.
With Lady Gaga, the show is as much in the room as on the stage. Could check it yesterday in Nice, where her fans, the 'little monsters', is were put in charge of eccentric costumes for the first of his two concerts in the capital Côte d'Azur (1). As expected, the transfer of the Born This Way Ball de Charles-Ehrmann Stadium at the palais Nikaia had made for the benefit of the spectators, who were able to enjoy the scenery, the staging and the choreography.
Set design, built around a huge modular setting of medieval castle, is better suited to large venues and stages. After an entertaining first part, ensured by the Group of hardcore English The Darkness, Lady Gaga made its appearance perched on a Unicorn while, suspended in a cage in the form of diamond, a hologram, named Mother G.O.A.T (mother C.H.E.V.R.E?), the story that will serve as a thread in the show. That of a young heroine trying to escape the diktats of a totalitarian regime. We do not understand much about the plot, but the tone is set: Gaga is the Queen of a spectacular show, which themes are assertiveness, respect for differences and the fight against discrimination.
Serious things begin, so rather risqué, on Government Hooker, by a sadomasochistic Duet in which the singer is fiddle with the crotch.
It continues with a monstrous scene of childbirth, which Gaga and her ten dancers to coax a vagina inflatable giant to sing Born This Way. They say that maybe it was wrong to take the kids...
Fortunately, the rest of the show is a lot less trash and more funny. Changing the eccentric costume with each song (the famous "meat dress" is part, but in plastic version), Lady Gaga has, for more than two hours, performs songs from her two albums at a hellish pace, urging the crowd to dance.
Its a few pounds too many do not prevent it to show off without complex in panties and fishnet stockings, or transform into creature looks half machine to do a few rounds on a motorcycle on stage. Lying on the bike, Gaga, remodeled in Bardot period "I know most anyone", sang even a few rides in accompanying himself on keyboard of synthesizer laid across the handlebars.
It was then realized that Stefani Germanotta is a true singer, as well as a great performer. Because, in the middle of this infernal barnum, the diva is able to create a real proximity with its public, ranging up to if sit in edge of stage for chatting in franglais, with its little monsters and comment, with humor, offering him send (lint, love letters, a sausage!).
The emotion is palpable when she invited some of them to join backstage or onstage for the latest headlines.
If one were to retain a thing of great and euphoric show offers Lady Gaga during this tour, this would be it: its ability to make human and almost intimate interaction with public, in the ultra frame corseted mega global show. We understand that Madonna is jealous: she herself has never reached this.
