| Lady Gaga singing "Speechless" while playing Piano. |
Yesterday, February 21, 2011 I attended Lady Gaga's concert at Madison Square Garden. A wonderful opening was performed by the great, Scissor Sisters, a local New York City group. They had an excellent alternative style of music with a little twist. The Scissor Sisters performed a number of songs including a few from their new album. After their rambunctious performance, the crowd awaited for their "Mother" according to the female lead Singer of Scissor Sisters when referring to Lady Gaga. There was a slight intermission while waiting and rumor has it that there were some technical difficulties which caused the slight delay. Lady Gaga finally appeared before the crowd and opened with her song, "Dance in The Dark" which surely was a crowd pleaser.
During the concert she said, "My name is Lady Gaga, and I was born and raised in the unbreakable streets of New York City" which led her to discuss her family, mainly the men and sing “Speechless”, inspired by her father. Throughout the performance she had quite a dialogue going with the audience. As an inspiration to many, including myself, she has provoked many to accomplish their dreams no matter what anybody else says. She stated, "Tonight, I want you to forget all of your insecurities because I didn't used to be brave but you have made me brave, Little Monsters." She paid respect to the NYFD by not lighting her piano on fire like she usually does in memory of September 11, 2001. She closed the show by changing into another of her many extravagant outfits, the one she wore at the 2011 Grammys. She sang her latest hit “Born This Way” a cappella which then turned into the original version of pop. Lady Gaga put on a truly magnificent show with an amazing end.
