**** (4 stars out of 6); September 2 at Parken
Lady Gaga unzipped herself out of a giant inflated vagina before singing ‘Born This Way’ – the title of her current tour – at Parken last night. And her two hour and 20 minute show was filled with antics like that.
After tattooed, bedraggled rockers The Darkness, warmed up the crowd – and their ripped front man said it was a pleasure “to thrust ourselves upon you this evening” – a one-hour time lag followed before Gaga came onto stage. In the centre of the stadium, men in disco ball platform shoes, women in wigs of every shade and hue and a 16-year-old wearing only stockings and a black thong waited attentively. It was a wacky audience, from teary tween/teen diehards, to an aggressive, caterwauling woman – probably high on hallucinogens – with a chopstick-speared lime in her hair.
Eventually, the curtain fell and a fairytale castle came into the view of 36,000 people. A cavalry of soldiers and a black unicorn marched onto stage and Gaga made her grand entrance. She appropriately sang ‘Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)’ with her face covered in a black, diamanté headpiece while she sat atop her noble steed. It was a striking opening but the plot – if there was one – became impossible to follow later as the scenario and costumes became increasingly bizarre and farfetched.
The famous ‘meat dress’ made a comeback, complete with matching meat shoes and meat-wearing back up dancers. It was only the female dancers who wore meat and Gaga made a point of crushing a man in a meat grinder. Similar feminist stunts involved a tuxedo-clad man miming cunnilingus on Gaga before she shot him dead. Yes, it had it all: a confusing and convoluted mix of sex, violence, fashion, religion, and drawn-out pep talks with the crowd.
This reviewer counted 12 costume changes, which made the show feel more a theatrical performance than a concert. Nevertheless, Gaga did do justice to some of her most well-known tunes: ‘Judas’, ‘Poker Face’, ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Just Dance’. And slowing it down and sitting at her motorcycle/piano for ‘Hair’, Gaga showed that underneath the peroxide, sky-high shoulder pads and copious eye-liner, the 26-year-old can sing. But the singing took a backseat from the theatrics.
At one point, as is routine during her shows, Gaga sat on the stage while her charges threw gifts from the pit. These offerings included decorated bras, tiny unicorns, tiaras and necklaces. In an attempt to inspire, Gaga told long anecdotes about her undying self-belief and rise to fame. She plucked teenagers from the crowd and filled them with dreams. Embarrassingly, many could not stop crying with happiness. Gaga did make one good point when she said: “It’s all about you, not about me. Don’t worship me, worship yourself.” But the uplifting discourse was too drawn out and became sickly. It was also a bit much when she produced a Danish flag from her motorcycle and ran waving it madly across the stage catwalk.
Gaga came out for a two song encore, singing ‘The Edge Of Glory’ and ‘Marry The Night’, finishing with the same intense energy as she had thrown in from the start. She took her time and gave her fans the attention they craved, but in the end, it was too much show and not enough song.

A lot of the reviews from Denmark say she talks too much during the show and it takes away from the actual songs and performances. That one's one of the best reviews from Denmark :x

I think they're talking about the fact that her speeches are almost as long as her songs.

I kind of agree with him, though. I get what she's trying to do with the speeches and i genuinely do think that they empower/help a lot of Monsters but sometimes she goes a little overboard.

3/6 stars
Sunday evening hit phenomenon Lady Gaga park with a bang that spanned everything from hard club beats to pocket philosophy, tight and huge production and tranquility to talk to and meet her fans. All packed into a myriad of costumes, mood and scene changes and an unpretentious atmosphere.
Unicorns, latex, kødkjoler and mica
Lady Gaga has opened all interested in her universe which hovers somewhere between fantasy and reality, and is filled with contradictions and quirky twists. It is dramatic and it is alluring. It is exaggerated and ecstatic while liberating prejudice. Tonight's show was the same. It was a mix of everything that the lady despite her relatively short time in the spotlight's heat light is already so well known for - and she gave many hungry fans a little of everything through the almost 2.5 hours the show lasted.
The continuous backdrop was a huge medieval castle, with plenty of stairs, "secret passages" tower rooms, fangerum - it all, and in front of the stage there was something that looked like a moat, which in this setup had turned a catwalk, where Gaga with dancers could wander around, while in the center stood a little lucky crowd of spectators who literally had landed in the middle of it all.
Such a large setup requires a ditto team, and as with so many of these spectacular concert-shows require a tight choreography to get it to work, and it is looking for one of the evening's finest elements: freedom. Because even if everything was undoubtedly planned in detail, so it felt funny enough neither rigid or tame. Both dancers and the lady herself was happy and full of excess, and it rubbed off on the audience.
"I am fordi you created me"
The second of the evening really good items were (or are) Lady Gaga's talent. Not only does she have the energy and the energy to dance and party from start to finish, but she's really something to have success in - the lady can sing! Whether it is as bouncy club queen in "Love Game", dancing popdronning as in "Bad Romance", doll-like as in "Bloody Mary" or intimate piano playing as in "Hair", as she sang through, and it kept.
Preserved - it was obvious that there was much of the track, and unfortunately it was also all named choir put in there, but when she sang - so she did it well, especially in the first encore, where she impressed with a new version of the radio hit "Edge of Glory". There were plenty of variations and delicious vocal thing that showed what she can, and then it was almost charming that you could hear she was actually out of breath from dancing and running. It got it to work ... right.
Something which in turn did not get it to work either true or correct the story that she came from the planet Goat. That she was created to spy human race. That she is neither a male nor female, but a creature. Why the need for such additional story was not quite understand the stage show and the many stories that were hospitalized did more than enough. The many clichés about being free, the pocket philosophical messages that went right in the teenage fans' hearts, the constant religious undertones and anything but subtle sexual tones did more than enough to highlight the twisted universe. There where fantasy and reality merge and leaves room for even the strangest ideas.
The best gifts paid off
With more than 10 costume changes got the audience so blessed to experience the lady both as sophisticated diva and the complete opposite, but it unfortunately meant that the flow of the concert did not come to work, although she was quick, it's many changes in a short time and they always came just when muskken had seemed very best on the audience, so one can only imagine a party that had been if there had been only half as many shifts.
Another thing that slowed the whole thing was her "show and tell" session where she sat at the front of the stage and looked at some of everything that was thrown up to her and invited them with the best gifts backstage. On the one hand a fun and charming little spots that showed a non-choreographed version of the singer, on the other hand it felt too much - especially when she again in the encore selected two (big honking) fans, ridged it over.
Nevertheless, it was nice to see this side of the singer, who calmly clothed both diadems, bras and clothes - which she mind you kept on during the next few songs. A true Princess Die was selected on his tiara and two-tone hair, and this young fan sobbed through the number seated on the lap of Lady Gaga as she sat at the piano. And yes - it was exactly as crazy as it sounds.
Talent show greater than
This evening was great for Lady Gaga's many loyal and young fans. Very large. They cried for and with her, they danced, they sang and enjoyed it to the fullest. They felt like something special with her many comments and Denmark. If you go just a notch away from the ultimate fan, so the concert was perhaps a little less fantastic. It was violent and vulgar, minimalist and militant, large and small. It was a bit of everything while not true either.
Gaga has undoubtedly created a phenomenon and an image that will go down in history. She has written some pop songs that move, whether you like them or not, and she is a talented entertainer and a talented singer and musician. But this tour is more about an experience than a concert, and it is a pity, because she may in fact one of the few pop icons who have both format and live talent to pull a regular concert home. But it was much more about all that was around - the big production won over the music. "I am everything you love, I am everything you hate" she noted at a time, and it was probably the closest thing to a real truth she came this evening.
