OMFGaga!!! Lady Gaga pulled out all the stops in her first ever New York headlining show at Madison Square Garden, or as she rechristened it, Madison Square Gaga!!! That renaming was appropriate for last night because her fans came in droves ready to worship Gaga and hear her words of acceptance and independence. Each section of her show was a mini-musical in itself. A tad overindulgent? Sure. Worth the wait time between sections watching art films? You bet. Her voice was in great form, especially on hits like Speechless and Teeth, and her production values were through the roof. Choreography was spot on in Lovegame, Alejandro, Poker Face and other numbers, but what really captivates about Gaga, like her obvious comparison Madonna, is her ability to stand and deliver a song without bells and whistles. Her moving costume pieces on an angelic gown and headdress during So Happy I Could Die allowed her to just stand on a platform, sing and still hold everyone's attention. During a talk with the audience she told us that she hated the truth, she preferred a big dose of bullshit. She claimed she was "the most delusional bitch on earth", but there was no way she wasn't feeling the love last night.After appearing on stage in a bra that shot sparks out of her breasts during Paparazzi she told the crowd that when we tell people how she did we should say "she set the f*@king place on fire!"... and she did. Ending the night with a rocking performance of Bad Romance only left her little monsters begging for more. Gaga's show could use a tiny bit of tightening up, but it was a theatrical experience no one is going to forget. Bravo!!!
