GaGa Rocks

I haven't been here for a long time. Not much has happened to me since then. I've spent another few wicked weeks working for Burberry, had my friend from Rome staying over the weekend and even managed to go back home to visit my parents.

But the thing I'd like to share is my recent experience from Gaga's concert. That was something! A friend of mine who was supposed to come with me initially but due to some reason went to the gig the day before made rather wary. So it was decided to spend some time getting into the concert mood in order not to be disappointed. And thanks God it never was the case. I never sang, danced or had so much fun during the concert (special thanks to my friends).

The show itself is very peculiar. It's not done in a traditional 'pop' way and involves many interactions with the public which I personally find very essential since they develop connection between the artist and his fans. Gaga's talks about her experiences, expectations and aspirations were nicely mixed with music and set the mood for following sections of the concert.

The dance routine she had was not as elaborate as lets say Madonna's. However, her singing seemed to be better and more real (I mean less backing or prerecorded singing) which might have influenced her ability to move during the concert.

Some may say that the Monster Ball is not technologycally advanced as the majority of concerts are nowadays. But you shouldn't forget that Gaga is a relatively young artist and that is why I don't think she's able to attract as much financial back up as established 'popstars'. And let's face it, sometimes these frills are employed to distract from the drawbacks the show has, which clearly wasn't the case here.
