Lady Gaga performed “Speechless” at the 30th anniversary gala for the Museum of Contemporary Art last night in Los Angeles. It was a live, five-minute production number called “Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again),” in which Lady Gaga debuted her new ballad, “Speechless.”

She played a Steinway grand piano painted in spin-art style by Damien Hirst. Her hat was designed by architect Frank Gehry, and she and Vezzoli donned masks created by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin. Lady Gaga had a dozen dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet, who were wearing costumes created by Vezzoli and Miuccia Prada, head of the famous fashion house.

so her tickets went on sale while i was at work & i was sooooo upset that i couldn’t get the meet & greet passes :-( ugh ! so w.e i had to settle for center stage for $366 :-/ I’m still very upset though cause i REALLY wanted to meet her .. i think she’s amazing .. i only went to 1 concert in my life & that was a N’sync, concert other then that, i didn’t find another artist interested BUT then Lady GaGa came out & it was love at first sight :-[ Lady GaGa ate MY HEART, & my life will NEVER be the same.

It is a proud proud moment to see our lady doing such HIGH BROW pop-art installations. It’s also very special when seeing a Gaga tat for the 1st time. lol The heart came out beautiful. For me at least… well ANY gaga moment is a special/proud moment for that matter.

I love you Gaga.
My friends and family say I’m beginning to sound like you, uh-oh? lol

Beautiful song! Remainds me John Lennon’s and The Beatles music. The same style. Basicly, Let Lev Down and Brown Eyes are similar too.

@erkeKills
totally agree with you. I think she looks way better with less make up but the costume shes wearing there wouldnt be a costume anymore without that make up though. our lady plans every little detail so everything she does has its reason :) and the makeup is part of the performance art though

Amazing performance. I loved every bit of Gaga’s outfit including the make-up. Will we have a HQ video of this on YouTube soon? I can’t wait to watch it properly. ‘Speechless’ sounds like it’s going to be my favourite song on The Fame Monster (and I loved what we’ve heard of it so far).

Man, that hair. Always love what she does with her hair. Thanks for the photos!

(Chloë Sevigny was at the event, also. Damn, I wish my two favorite girls would’ve gotten the chance to pose for photographs with one another!)

..,what I want for my Gaga right now is Rest. Have a massage girl and hit the spa, you need to give yourself a break. I love you too. Im your Monster here from Manila and I feel you everyday. I can smell what you smell and I think what might you be thinking, I can feel your presence in my deepest hour of my nights, go back to nature, retreat, feel the heartbeat of the planet and let us celebrate the future

Amazing! I like her raw-ness on piano. She should do more piano acoustic material, like an MTV Unplugged thingy.
Also, maybe do covers of other artist’s songs but strictly with her music style/sense. That would be awesome!!
Gaga, if you’re reading this, pls pls pretty pls make it true!

just amazingg. i prefer her natural-bad-romance-close-ups-look, but she looked artisically beautiful that night.she rocked it…
about speechless:
her vocals are ‘GaGa perfect’.so beautiful. brilliant lyrics. I can see myself listen this song over and over again after the release of the album.BUT I prefer let love down\wonderfull…. I just wish lady gaga would do more ballads!
also I wish she had put more songs on The Fame Monster.only
8 songs from a BRAND NEW CD are not enough for me. I want more from her. well,I guess I’ll always will.that’s why she calls us monsters…LOL.

So amazing, marvelous.
I won’t listen to other people, I don’t care what they think about Gaga.
That’s just between Gaga and her fans. NOBODY can understand these feelings.
I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU, GAGA! And you’ll never stop being my authority, idol. Thank you for that so much. I love you <3333
