They gave her a rating of: 4/5 :applause:

Filling a slot that was once set to be occupied by Beyoncé is at best difficult and at worst utterly terrifying, her position at the very top of the industry uncontested. So when she had to drop out of headlining Coachella because of her pregnancy, organisers were stuck with the unenviable process of finding another performer to satisfy a disappointed crowd.

More divisive than Queen Bey but with an equally fervent fanbase, Lady Gaga seemed like a smart choice. As the poppier option of the festival, her music still integrates other genres, such as her recent move into country, and she’s even got Beyoncé’s stamp of approval with two collaborations under her belt. She also followed in her footsteps by taking on this year’s halftime show at the Super Bowl, delivering an energetic performance even if it lacked some of her trademark experimentation.

From the opening of her Coachella debut, that was most certainly not the case. An ambitiously mounted set kicks off with a fast cut of images, including Gaga with a snake coming out of her mouth before she emerges in a leather ensemble, complete with Madonna-esque spiked breasts and a light shining from her stomach. The crowd, which appeared a bit ambivalent about last night’s headliner Radiohead, welcomed her with rabid enthusiasm and as her many hits unfurled, they danced with a collective glee.

" Her newer output doesn’t have quite the same impact and interest started to wander when she returned to pushing the country agenda. Gaga seemed aware of the chilly reaction and used the festival to premiere a new song that returns to the solid 80s-themed pop that’s worked for her before. Think Edge of Glory meets Born This Way. It’s not automatically memorable, but it’s closer to what the fans appear to want. "

It is automatically memorable, the ****ing song slays, bye :classy:

Yeah they did from what I saw on the Livestream video. John Wayne sounded pretty awkward and no one seemed to be into it as well as A YO.
