She’s worn a dress made of meat for the MTV Awards, she has fought for gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual rights, and she has toured in four different continents. She is, of course, Lady Gaga.
Love her or hate her, Gaga has been breaking records and sweeping nations around the world with her striking fashion sense and technical talent in singing and playing the piano.
Honestly, I have always adored her. She revolutionizes the music industry with each song she creates and truly has a purpose behind her music.
I attended her concert in Milwaukee on Sept. 2 and I was entertained from the moment I stepped out of the car to the moment I got back in.
It wasn’t just Lady Gaga singing that made the night so incredible; it was the whole ‘Gaga Revolution’ that amazed me.
Men and women alike were head-to-toe Gaga, from guys wearing nothing but a Speedo and caution tape, to ladies in the classic red-lace Gaga one-piece. These people, so passionate about an artist, truly started the night off with a bang.
It only got better from there. After walking in and seeing all of her fans, mini-Gagas, I took my seat and was entertained, to say the least, as the Semi-Precious Weapons took the stage.
I’d have to guess that most people haven’t ever heard of this band, the opening act for Lady Gaga, but they were definitely a sight to be seen. (To get the jist of what they’re like, I’d recommend listening to “I Can’t Pay My Rent but I’m Gorgeous,” which seems to be their most famous song.)
Although they’re definitely not going to have a spot on my i-Pod, they definitely were passionate about their music and performing, which I can respect.
Finally, after hours of driving and waiting, Lady Gaga took the stage. Opening with “Dance in the Dark,” one of my favorites, she showed off her interesting style and amazing dancing abilities.
To say the least, I was in awe- I’ve been to at least 10 concerts and I’ve never been so enthralled by a performance.
She progressed to singing her famous hits like “Poker Face,” “Just Dance,” “Alejandro,” “The Fame” and “Boys Boys Boys.” Somehow she managed to sing nearly every song on her albums.
Through a “Wizard of Oz”-like story, Lady Gaga tied together each of her songs and spoke in between songs about her views on gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual rights.
This all was taken well by the audience as Lady Gaga adoringly referred to her fans as her “Little Monsters” and said, multiple times, “Put your paws up my Little Monsters.”
A little strange, but it built a more personal bond with the audience.
Lady Gaga ended the show with a bang, as she sang “Bad Romance” with power and passion, wrapping up the entire “Wizard of Oz” story.
Overall, I was truly amazed by her real talent and creativity and would definitely recommend that people see her show. It’s a bit of a splurge but that’s one night I will never forget.
