Surrealist Lady Gaga gave everything
Lady Gaga delivers additional all and more at the Globe. It is pop at the highest level but her fine voice ports sadly in the shadow of the spectacular show.
Coming home from a concert by the world's currently most extravagant pop star is a somewhat surreal experience. In the heat of the moment, when the synthetic house pumping accompanies cries of Little Monsters, as her most devoted fans are called, feels the most perfect sense.
It is only afterwards that the tanks will. I was recently at a concert where someone was sitting in a meat couch and sang about his latinske lovers wearing a machine gun bra, or I dreamed? Ground her down her dancers in giant meat grinders?
Was it really the photographer Terry Richardson popped up there on a balcony in the medieval castle of stone? She went around on a motorcycle, with arms integrated with the fork? She was born out of a giant vagina and her dancers wearing tight costumes that would remind caul? Oh yes, and a little to it.
It's almost hard to imagine that it is only four years since she released her debut single "Just Dance", it is as if she has always been there. As an obvious pop icon, ever ready to deliver extra everything for their fans.
During the three-hour show, she has time with fourteen costume changes without long pauses. For a few seconds watching the audience away with a gigantic hologram head on the ceiling and suddenly Gaga out of a hole in the floor, wearing a new dress spectacular.
It is so directed that it is easy to forget the music, or that she can actually sing. This reminds us of the concert's only quiet moment when she sits at a piano, integrated with a motorcycle course, and sings a tender version of Hair, dedicated to those of her teenage fans who harbor dark thoughts about life.
Her voice is full of life and feeling, but it ends too often in the shadow of her dazzling apparition. Throughout the show runs her message as a common thread: be yourself, dare to be individual, accept all. The over one hundred gigs long world tour is also called "The Born This Way Ball ', possibly a nod to Carl Bean's Motown classics, war song and also gayhymn" I was born this way "from 1977.
Even the music then? Not to get carried away with the track "Bad Romance," "Paparazzi" and "Poker Face" is to be hard-hearted, that's classic pophantverk high level. Too often, it is mixed with a lightweight version of hard rock, which in combination with a rigid discounted evokes Bengt Palmers 80s soundtracks for films Fiddling or Sällskapsresan second Here, however, with Lady Gaga in the lead role, as a reminder of how unabashed, and entertaining, pop music in the '80s really were. Maybe that is the key to Lady Gaga?

Best: Telephone. The bead popdänga it is. And Lady Gaga's energy.
Worst: The blackout that may show to lose momentum and intensity.
4/5 stars
A black-clad Lady Gaga riding a big unicorn, that's the way she comes on the scene, led by the same black-clad, goth rock Related dude.
A twisted and very theatrical show with a gray ghostly castle as a base, has begun and decorate ago by one playful / violent / dared kreationen after another with lots of dance numbers (and a motorcycle number) in breathtaking high tempo.
Now that two years ago, when I saw her in the white arena, she and her team decided to show that you do not skimp on anything, everything is possible and can be implemented on the stage, and yes, in life.
She will not be one that is easy to describe, she wants to be and is much more than an ordinary pop star, but sometimes she thinks almost too much, the show's structure is too fragmented, too much roller coaster, as are the songs that sometimes skrälls break of loud hard rock guitars.
But it does not stop an entertainer Lady Gaga. She asks the audience to ask questions and in the end she wonders if anyone has questions not about to come backstage, she gets the Globe to sing Happy birthday to the singer's mother and let it uppslängda Pippi doll perform Born this Way.
Lady Gaga is also a hell of a singer when she wants. And a lot more fun and more personal now than on the Monster Ball tour. In their own way, with their arena-style necessary on both these types of venues and Lady Gaga's usually anything but stripped ångvältslåtar, she manages to make the audience feel welcome, seen and needed. As the monster mom she claims to be, she is really concerned about their monster / fans.
In addition, any other superstar talks to his audience about his depression and drinking she has put off with?
Just Dance, Bad Romance, Americano, Poker Face, Telephone and other hit after another while she builds up expectations for Artpop which will probably be early next year. Dryers she just with life as superstar and the ever-increasing demands to teach Lady Gaga just become even greater.

5/5 stars
A machine gun bra, a motorcycle piano, dancers in meat grinders and a floating face.
But the soul of the whole show is fantastic - Lady Gaga herself
She has had its sights set on the stars far away in another galaxy since she was three years old. And she seems to be from another planet - Lady Gaga.
She came out of nowhere and broke box office records at Green Lund. She breathed life into a arenapop just lain down and died.
Three years later, she stands in a crowded Globe and make it feel intimate. Her two and a half hour show is by far the most lavish I've ever seen.
Lady makes his entrance on a big, black unicorn. On stage, a gothic castle, built up and over it hovers a living face. During the "Born this Way" singer pushing itself out through a torn up vagina, the size of a soccer goal, and then dance on the fetal fat colored long dress. Between almost every song change her outfit. In "La isla" fragrant "Alejandro" she dances away in a bra with automatic weapons at each breast.
It could be total freakshow.
But it is just the opposite.
Rock opera is curiously together. And although I can not say I understand all the numbers and meat grinders, I see flashes of humor to the history of music and smart political digs.
And between songs talking Gaga for her little monster fans. She preaches love and individualism. She talks about how she is fighting against depression and invites the audience to accept the love she sends back to them.
She makes it so personal and sincere that she feels like a storyteller at home in the bedroom rather than a distant pop star on stage.
To compare her with other arena pop artist shows is just unfair. Lady Gaga plays in a completely different league. And although tonight's experience was hard to beat, this is just the beginning.
Tonight, yes, this year, most poignant scene comes when Lady Gaga takes up a girl in green long hair and mascara trails along the cheeks.
They sit tight on a motorcycle is a piano (do not ask) while Gaga sings "Princess Die". I grin catch up with the little monster.

4/5 stars
A stage show that takes your breath away, several times.
But among all the costume changes, dancers and fantastic creations, there is a superstar who has such an obvious close contact with their fans.
Finest moment was probably the end, when two wide-eyed eleven year old fans had come up on stage. Gaga talked about her career, how in the beginning was not nearly anyone who believed in her, besides mom and dad, but that one day suddenly there were 30 000 people there. Then the girls helped Gaga to jump in time completion "Marry the Night".
Other highlights were the gift opening with fans and, of course, the big hits.
Gaga's second night at the Globe is four wasps strong.

There's a huge gap [20 days] between the last Europian date and the first L.A date... do you think she will add more dates and reduce the gap to like 10 days or 7 or she'll just rest ?
