The lady herself calls it "the church of Gaga" and she's not shy about the commandments:
"Tonight you must free yourself as if it were the last night on Earth!" she implored the sold-out crowd of believers on Sunday at the UCF Arena. Since she was sprawled out on her back at the time, it was obvious that Lady Gaga was more than willing to show the way to freedom.
In a visually stunning and solidly musical performance that stretched more than 90 minutes, Lady Gaga pretty much justified the hype that surrounded a show relocated just weeks ago from its original home at Hard Rock Live. Looking at the monstrous stage, with its trio of massive stage-to-ceiling graphics and jumbo video screens, it was hard to imagine how the Hard Rock could've contained it.
A larger building also is required for Gaga's sense of grandiose production and raw sexual energy. She's part glittering Cher excess, part limit-bending Madonna attitude and part the craziest woman you've ever met.
At one point, she compared herself with Tinker Bell because she would die without the comfort of her fans. The sweetness of the sentiment was shattered in an instant when she shrieked: "Do you want me to die?? I can't live without you!"
In exchange for such devotion, Lady Gaga offered of sea of special effects that makes other pop concerts look like high-school plays.
"It's been seven minutes and I've done three costume changes," she told the audience in the early going, an accurate reflection of a pace that continued all night, with nary a wardrobe malfunction. There was a lot of glitter, leather and skin, as well as odd fashion statements such an encore outfit that looked as if a car-seat headrest had been stuck to the singer's back.

This is the one with the aluminum undies, correct?
Sounds like the start of a mass suicide cult. When they make the film about it Dr. Kervorkian will call it “the feelgood movie of the year.” I don’t care for Lady Gag.
ping
She is originally from Yonkers..nuff said.
Well, that’s what she claims. I happen to think Pelosi is moonlighting.....
People know what they’re paying for when they go to one of her concerts and I’ve never heard anyone say that they’re dissapointed when they go.
Madonna version 2.0 ... same lowest common denominator behavior that appeals to the youth. Can’t help but think that this type of cultural rot will eventually finish our society off at some point.
pix ?
this thread needs pictures!
Wouldn’t it be pix with dix? :)
Cher with a blond wig...
The woman is a phenomenon. You may disagree with what she represents, but she is the most creative and entrepreneurial artist I’ve seen in decades. She raises the idea of what art and performance can be to a whole new level. Everyone else is stuck in the last century; Lady Gaga transcends the mediums in which she is on display.
I haven’t decided whether I am a fan of her music. I probably wouldn’t buy anything associated with her. She’s probably deleterious to public morals.
But, Holy Sh*t, she is a whole new phenomenon. Ya gotta see it to believe it.

And does anyone really care if she lives or dies or simply fades away?
Just what has she contributed to society?
Can she reload ammunition?
Can she put an edge on a knife?
Is she capable of aiming a rifle at a deer and bringing home the venison?
Could she even make a meal out of a handful of macaroni and a pound of hamburger meat, and stretch it to feed a family of six?
Does she even know what a rifle is?
Can she cook a pan of biscuits to go with the venison, assuming she has the ability to get it in the first place?
Can she start a fire in a wood stove?
Does she know how to change a diaper on a child?
Can she recognize the symptoms of various childhood and/or adult sicknesses and treat them accordingly, without rushing to a hospital emergency room?
Can she sew up a torn article of clothing or does she simply expect that someone else will ensure she has a replacement?
In short, is she worth a damn for anything other than wasting the oxygen we all need to breath...can she SURVIVE in any environment that does not contain Klieg lights, soundtracks of blaring music and the unending supply of the products of Mr. Max Factor, along with the fawning servitude of a platoon of hangers-on and suck ups?
I cannot stand the "celebrities" that exist for no other reason than that they are able to shock persons and raise the total subscriber list of those towers of journalistic excellence, such as "People", "National Enquirer", , etc, and of course, let's not forget their contribution to MTV, singlehandedly lowering the collective IQ of our youth for the last 20 years.
That has to be the dumbest rumor I have ever heard.
There is only one way to verify it which is to actually see it. Since that most likely won’t happen then why even start a rumor like that at all?
