Gaga Oh La La!!

My current state= sleepy. :) My thoughts on last night's Gaga= AWESOME! 

Had a GREAT time! Gaga was impressive, audacious, and so extremely talented. I expected some awesome theatrics, flawless vocals, talented dancers, and I was DEFINITELY not disappointed in any of those fronts! 

Sure, some of it was a little campy, but that's Gaga! The night involved her biting the head off a Barbie doll (shunning the image of the "perfect" body, etc), someone eating her heart, some incredible outfit changes, etc... :) And even though we were on the crowded floor, everyone was SO well-behaved and respectful. I'd never really seen anything like that at a pop/rock concert. I mean, people are usually nice, but never so polite, asking "Can you see?" and "Did I just bump you? I'm so sorry!" Bananas! :)

So here's an excessive a little recap....and a lotta photos/videos. :) Sorry if the vids kinda jump around a little bit. I was trying really hard to keep a clear shot around people. And it didn't help when Gaga screamed "jump everybody!" haha! 

Pre-concert sushi with friends 
We didn't really get "costumed out" b/c (1) it was a Monday night and (2) we were too lazy. Blazers and tights is about as rocker-chic as we got... haha.. :)

But, some others went all out.... No, I don't feel badly posting some of these sneaky snaps b/c there are no faces AND if you're willing to wear it to a concert, you should be willing to have your photo in it... Besides, if they wanna rock it, more power to them! :) 


T and I standing with the stage just behind us gearing up for Gaga!



Okay, soooo Gaga kept all of us little monsters waiting til around 10pm to come out and play. We were getting sorta impatient and texting between friends seated throughout the arena "Seriously.. is she coming?"

And then, the lights dropped, the crowd roared, images of her stared flashing on a screen, and her slight delay was forgotten! This photo cracks me up with all the cameras in the air preparing for the curtain to lift!

Dear Eric- I heart your zoom lens. Thanks for letting me use your camera. :) (We were really close, but not THIS close. Loving the pics I was able to get!)

For those of you that don't know, her concert is supposed to be a sort of tale of her rise to success... It's a a narrative of her trying to get to the "Monsters Ball" and what happens along the way... :)

Video=Telephone





Video= Born this Way, awesome acoustic version


Pretty sure they're attacking her/eating her heart (per the song lyrics)

....which probably explains the fake blood... ? (Admittedly, this part was a little bizarre, but you gotta give it to her on theatricality!)



Video: Poker Face... shows the awesome energy and dancing! :)


The fame monster...

On our way out at the end... Always so crazy to look back and see the crowd you were just standing in the middle of!
Came home to my "little monster" and called it a night... well past 12 midnight! Bananas for a Monday! ha! :)

I LOVED how she kept saying positive things about Tulsa and thanking her fans for supporting her! I thought that was really great... 

I highly recommend going if you get the chance and like her music. :) T and I couldn't stop from dancing, despite our little heeled booties destroying any comfort level our feet had...I mean, we were at freaking GAGA! Feet will recover... haha... :)

Okay, this little monster is about 5 minutes from crashing.out. Sweet dreams, everyone! :)

Loved the show too! She was amazing! I didn't really understand how the blood happened, I looked down to send a text and when I looked up again she was covered in blood. I was like "ummm, okay", haha! Thanks for the recap!

Amanda said...

I so wish I had gotten the chance to go when she was in town. She's definitely not my normal musical type, but I can't help but love her :)

amaaaazing photos! you and your friends look so cute all dolled up. i can't even believe what that girl was wearing with the metallic-y bodysuit thong thing LOL!
i wish i could have seen her live, it sounds like it was a great performance.

I'm so jealous that you went! I love her, craziness and all! The videos are great- she sounds amazing live (which is nice b/c 1/2 of the performers these days sound hideous out of studio). I bet the people-watching was awesome- other pictures I've seen lead me to believe that some people just thought the fewer the clothes, the better!
