For more information, please visit this thread : http://gagadaily.com/index.php/topic/83773-4-days-lady-gaga-to-headline-feq/ The event is so big and, with the artRave also stopping by Montreal this wednesday, the whole Quebec province is hyping the **** out of Gaga ! Radio, television, newspaper, she's the talk of the town ! The title on the newspaper is so epic (see the translations below), it's : Gaga and her army arrives ! The article is basically saying this is the biggest show the FEQ has ever worked on because Gaga care so much about the show that she wants everything to be perfect, although, most of the time, the artists just fly to the city, perform, and leave. She appeared TWICE on the cover of the more reliable and serious local newspaper called Le Soleil. Keep in mind this is gonna be one of her biggest show she has ever done with the attendance going around 120,000 to 150,000+ people. They expect the biggest attendance of this year festival. Cross your fingers for a great weather ! Saturday issue (the biggest one) cover : Le Soleil : Les hauts et les bas d'une diva pop http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/dossiers/festival-dete/201406/27/01-4779484-lady-gaga-les-hauts-et-les-bas-dune-diva-pop.php Article translation : (Quebec) Lady Gaga launched in late 2013 the highly anticipated ARTPOP, a musical chapter following the popular The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born This Way. Until then, the eccentric singer had walked constantly on the rise, establishing itself as a key figure in the pop by its originality, audacity, his looks and his positions (for the cause of gays and lesbians, including ). If fans continue to follow it faithfully (66.6 million and 41.6 million on Facebook on Twitter), we must admit that his star has faded somewhat in recent months with the reception of his new songs and competition that have delivered him some rivals. As she leads Friday Summer Festival back on a year Sawtooth diva Gaga. > ARTPOP or Artflop? We forget everything and start again. This amounted to request that Lady Gaga has presented her fans - her little monsters, as she calls them - in early January, a few weeks after the release of the album ARTPOP ... some gossips had renamed Artflop. Powered topped the charts upon its release, the disc quickly lost its luster after a mixed critical reception and disappointing sales figures, dropping 82% from the second week, according to Nielsen SoundScan compilation. The star has issued an apology on LittleMonsters.com site pretext for choosing the output postponed clip of the song Do What U Want, back in the news last week (see "The failure of a clip "). But included in this rather unusual criticism its promotional machine, which seemed infallible previous albums, but failed this time. "The next few months will mark the true beginning of ARTPOP. Because those who do not have the heart to its success are gone and the dreams I had for the album can now bear fruit, "the singer wore in short, who is separated from her longtime manager Troy Carter, a few weeks before the release of his new album. > Failure of a clip Lady Gaga launches a song, but no video. That is not his habit. Previous clips are rarely unnoticed and many have created the event: in vertiginous shoes branded Alexander McQueen (the success Bad Romance), titillating controversy with Judah, making jump off a balcony by Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd (the one of the stars of True Blood series) or playing the serial killer with Beyoncé under the lens of the famous Jonas Ã…kerlund (Paparazzi and Telephone). When the single Do What U Want, a duet with singer R. Kelly, was launched in late 2013, but the clip does not follow, fans are asked ... Especially that Gaga had piqued their curiosity talking on social networks. In January, the singer said he ran out of time to conceptualize and rotating said clip. But then an extract at least suggestive surfaced on the web last week, courtesy of TMZ, other theories have arisen to explain the censorship. In the assembly of thirty seconds, R. Kelly plays doctor with Miss Gaga sedated, which is also crunch the portrait by photographer Terry Richardson. The discomfort comes from the fact that both have been linked to s-xual misdeeds: Kelly was charged and then milled in a child ****ography case and models who worked with Richardson accused him of s-xual harassment. Lady Gaga she fears push the envelope too far with this video, in which she sings: "Do what you want with my body"? If it does not itself launched the video, she was still accused by several critics to praise the rape ... > Read together ... and shock Lady Gaga is not afraid to navigate the extreme. The observation holds for its looks as much as for the context in which it delivers its services. To promote the songs ARTPOP diva gave the rallying as the provocative recent months. Wooing a family audience, she reconnected with his friends Muppets time to celebrate Thanksgiving in a TV special. Conversely, it has outraged many in the South by Southwest festival in March, when the invited artist Millie Brown on the boards. The concept? Induce vomiting paint on the body as she performed her song Swine. Beyond the unsavory side of the year, Lady Gaga has been criticized for including "glamorize" eating disorders. > Rival Britney Spears Arrival as a tornado in 1999 with the mega success .... Baby One More Time, Britney Spears has claimed the title of pop princess long before we hear about a called Lady Gaga. But with a career - and privacy - roller coaster, the singer has not always been able to maintain its place at the top. Spears has plunged into the fray a few weeks after Lady Gaga, last fall, with the release of his eighth album, Britney Jean. The disc received a lukewarm reception from critics and the public: one week in the top 10 and the lowest sales of the career of the singer. Miley Cyrus There was a time when Lady Gaga stole the show at each of its television output. Barometer, the popular gala MTV Video Music Awards saw over the years in its land (légendaire!) dress of raw meat disguised as man or bloody chest. In 2013, the singer was beautiful multiply costume changes for a sporty interpretation of its simple Applause, almost nobody spoke to her the day after the gala. His performance was overshadowed by that of his young colleague Miley Cyrus, who has rubbed (literally!) to singer Robin Thicke for a number at least believed. By applying to destroy the image of wise girl stuck to her skin as ex-Hannah Montana (the character of a youthful Disney Channel show), Miss Cyrus, who launched the album Bangerz last fall, neither more nor less dethroned Gaga as a media icon. Not necessarily a smart or good taste, but frankly effective to flow ink ... And sell discs strategy! Katy Perry Last summer, the simple Roar promised a return on roaring hard for Katy Perry ... We we had not lied. The fourth album from the Californian, Prism, arrived in stores in October 2013, two weeks before that of Lady Gaga. A heated battle was expected between the two pop stars. One and the other saw their new baby arriving in the world topped the charts, but Perry knew better cling to the first places. The rivalry between the two starlets is palpable on stage. Observers saw similarities between some of the details of the show Katy Perry (hair color, use a mechanical horse, spit paint) and provision of Lady Gaga. The latter has also put his two cents on Twitter citing these aspects ... Asked the South by Southwest festival on the fact that often compared to Katy Perry, Lady Gaga has nevertheless responded with some impatience, using a dirty word to say they could not be more different ...

Todays issue (monday) cover : Le Soleil : La machine de guerre Lady Gaga s'amène http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/arts-et-spectacles/dossiers-arts/festival-dete/201406/29/01-4779899-la-machine-de-guerre-lady-gaga-samene.php Article translation : (Québec) The opposite would have been surprising: the eccentric Lady Gaga brings its largest team ever received at the Quebec City Summer Festival (FEQ). With hundreds of employees, including some Quebecers must provide everything for his war machine. "Lady Gaga is our biggest show of the festival," says unhesitatingly production manager FEQ, Patrick Martin. Sunday met on the Plains of Abraham, the head honcho technicians Sun revealed some special requests of the star. The American singer will arrive Friday with almost all the paraphernalia of his artrave, in which she promises to merge music, fashion, dance and party. This is the fourth tour of the pop icon, which will stop in 78 cities in the world by December. His show in Quebec will be the first tour to adapt to a festival. "We worked with Live Nation [his producer] to make it work. They made a lot of compromises, we also did a lot to integrate this show there in festival, "says Patrick Martin. No compromise "It is outrageous, so we can not compromise on the nature of his art," he says, however. On the one hand, the FEQ must undo after one show opening Thursday, the giant screens in the bottom of the stage to make way for vast stage set of Gaga. These facilities - which resemble caves and helium shelters - used as support for video projections. On the other hand, the environment of Lady Gaga had to abandon the idea of ​​integrating many bridges within the crowd, as it does in arena. "It was physically impossible," says Patrick Martin. Other special requests of the star, there is that of providing white curtains - not black - for costume changes that will speed scene. Production FEQ must also ensure that it can accommodate the hundreds of people who make up his team tour. Dancers, musicians, technicians, designers; all must be at ease behind the scenes of the big stage Plains. "It takes sufficient showers, two washers and two dryers. It's all little things like that we never had before now, we must do for them, "explains Patrick Martin. Last year, the arrival of Bruno Mars was also part of the framework of a world tour, but Lady Gaga wins the prize for the army the most numerous. "Even LMFAO and the Black Eyed Peas when they were made ​​[in 2012 and 2010] was the fly in, as they say in the jargon. They came by plane, they were transported, they were brought on stage, they did their show with our equipment. But in the case of Lady Gaga, this is a tour, so you have to compromise on several aspects to integrate them. " But do not imagine that will team diva Lady Gaga is requesting adjustments. "They are nice," said Patrick Martin. "The other advantage is that there are many Quebecers in his tour. It greatly facilitates our communications, "he adds. This is the Quebec company Solotech providing sound, lighting and video tour launched to promote the album ARTPOP. Solotech already being equipment supplier FEQ, "they knew exactly what quality they would have on the system models, consoles, lighting. Everything happened naturally, "explains production manager of the Festival. Other smaller stars Alongside Lady Gaga, other headliners seem smaller Plains of means of production. Unlike last year, the fireworks will be more rare, except for the opening show in tribute to Félix Leclerc. "Even for the electro night, Deadmau5 not not not want lasers, smoke, special effects. Him, he just wants his lights and screens, "reveals Patrick Martin. Billy Joel claims meanwhile a pivotal platform for the piano, just to see the public from all angles. "There are not many effects around him, but the sound must be perfect, a bit like Stevie Wonder and Elton John," says Martin. A scene a little less high The main stage of the Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ) is still impressive, but a little less high than last year. "The problem we had with a roof too high, is that the systems lights were too low. It could create a sloshing and lighting moved. It's less beautiful effects and a problem of dynamic movement on the structure, and engineers do not like it, "says production manager FEQ, Patrick Martin. Mastodon and measures 74 feet in height (rather than 90), while retaining its 256 feet wide and 88 feet deep. Patrick Martin is pleased to enjoy an enhanced version of the giant aluminum Quebec designer, Unison Structures, having changed somewhat since the "prototype" delivered in 2013. For once, the production manager of FEQ notes that hundreds of workers at work on the Plains of Abraham took advantage of a time "abnormally" nice and warm. "I've never seen the assembly go that well on devices due to weather structures" slipped Patrick Martin on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
