Lady Gaga took the concerts in Las Vegas to a whole new level on Sunday as she performed a creative and high-energy concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena last night. Filled with quirky sets and costumes, Lady Gaga was electric during her nearly-2 hour performance. In previous interviews Gaga has said that the show is more musical than concert, and she wasn’t lying. The show tells the story of she and her friends in New York traveling the glitter way to The Monster Ball, the ultimate party. Gaga’s interpretation was a wild mix of The Wizard of Oz, Wicked and Into the Woods. Sets included a Big Apple with neon signs, a subway and a forest, where a larger-than-life monster resides. Gaga performed such hits as “LoveGame,” “Telephone,” “Speechless,” “Alejandro,” “Poker Face,” “Paparazzi,” and of course “Bad Romance.” After “LoveGame” she said, “My name is Lady Gaga. Thanks for buying a ticket. I haven’t always been brave, but you have made me brave tonight.” She then went on to tell the audience to forget their insecurities and alleged inadequacies, as she has dismissed her critics who have said she wasn’t thin, pretty or talented enough and said her music was too theatrical. Shortly after her encouragement to her fans, Gaga told another fan in the audience she called glittery-top-wearing Elena, that she would bring her and her friends closer to the stage and greet her with a kiss after the concert. Gaga then sang “Telephone” after putting on a pair of signed boxer briefs from a fan in the audience who thanked her for helping him to accept himself. From there the night slowed momentarily as Gaga performed “Speechless” at the piano, which erupted into flames then swirled into a tornado of flames before the song’s end. If you’ve ever seen Gaga perform you know she is an excellent pianist and she often likes to include her piano as a prop into her performances. Gaga also introduced her audience to some of her new songs with “You and I,” in which she was teary-eyed saying, “I’m sorry I’m so emotional. I’m a girl. Maybe! You don’t care. I could be a giraffe!” Lady Gaga ended the night with four of her big hits: “Alejandro,” “Poker Face,” “Paparazzi,” and the encore “Bad Romance.” “We’ve burned the place to the ground! We did it, Las Vegas, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena!” If you missed Lady Gaga this time, don’t worry, she’ll be back on March 25 for the tail end of her world tour. Until then you can always enjoy all that Sin City has to offer including Las Vegas nightclubs, pools, restaurants shopping and of course the infamous shows!
