yASSsss 35,510 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Lady Gaga’s been arena-level for years. She’s even reached Super Bowl status in 2017, recently confirming a halftime performance on America's most widely watched night of television. But for now, she’s taking it back to the old school, with three small upcoming shows So let’s take away the fandom, the shock element, the superstar stature: Underneath is dark-haired Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, who was not handed fame on a silver platter. Quitting New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts (where she was studying music) to follow her lifelong passion, Gaga worked three jobs just to make ends meet, one of which was go-go dancing. She immersed herself in neo-burlesque culture, putting on “Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue" -- a pop-burlesque fusion rock show, with her performance partner Lady Starlight -- at small clubs throughout the city. And long before her name was ever associated with fame, Gaga’s success rate auditioning for New York City shows was at an all-time low. That’s the original Lady Gaga -- someone who will stand on a tiny stage in a tiny bar three feet from your face and sing right into your eyes -- and that’s the person she’s bringing back now. She’s taking Joanne’s “raw Americana” makeup and breaking it apart by hunkering down in America’s most American bars, thanks to a partnership with the country's best-selling beer, Bud Light. So what can we really expect? A simple Lady Gaga stripped away of the things that make her famous: her elaborate stage production, her out-of-this-world outfits, her army of dancers. It’ll just be Stefani, maybe holding an acoustic guitar, sitting on a stage in a quiet bar with mediocre speakers and even-more mediocre drinks. No frills, no strings attached. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7533235/lady-gaga-dive-bar-joanne-live-concerts Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister 9,907 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Gaga is always at her best while performing, but seeing her in this setting would be a dream and she will knock it out of the park, this will be so easy for her and it will be such a friendly, intimate and personal and natural setting. Any Little Monsters that get to go are the luckiest of all and are in for maybe the absolute best time of seeing Lady Gaga, in all of her career. The future's uncertain and the end is always near.
