The Monster Ball Tour


Wow.
Gaga knows how to put on a show.
The concert consisted of 20 songs including all the hits and 7 of the 8 songs on the new The Fame Monster. The concert had everything you would expect from Gaga, multiple wardrobe changes of fashion that does not disappoint, live singing, amazing dancing, acts of sexuality and stripping, etc. All the usual from Gaga and I loved it.
The openers are Semi Precious Weapons, who I was not a fan of until I saw them live, and Kid Cudi. Kid Cudi knew that it was a room full of Gaga fans because it was a very techno/electronic set that breathed new life into some of his songs, if this is the next style Cudi is going into, then it will be a good one. I really enjoyed "Embrace the Martian" by Crookers feat. Kid Cudi in the set.
When Gaga came on, nothing I had seen so far that night could compare. Dance in theDark started the set, not a huge opening for Gaga, but a consistent one. Once Just Dance and Lovegame came on though it was a full blown Lady Gaga fest that had the crowd pumped and thrilled as Gaga demanded screaming and hands up. At one point Gaga even laid down on the stage saying she was Tinkerbell and needed us to clap for her so she'll live.
Speechless and Poke Her Face went beautifully, I must say that I'm proud to have been at one of the concerts that her father attended, (Speechless was written for him). After her acoustic set came more glamour with Gaga coming onto the stage dressed as cleopatra for the song, Fashion. Paparazzi was another interesting song/art installation curing the show as she sang it with lengthy braids as long as the stage being carried by dancers. Bad Romance ended the show on a high note as her dancers and herself gave all they could even though they hadn't stopped through the whole show really.
If you're going to go to a pop concert. This is the one to go to. The Monster Ball will make a fan of any Gaga haters left out there.
