LATimes: Gaga at Coachella 'was an absolute thrill — until it wasn't'

Lady Gaga, to quote one of her many hits, was on the edge of glory.

Headlining Coachella on Saturday night in front of the weekend’s biggest crowd so far, the pop superstar gave as thrilling and complex a performance as any I’ve ever seen at the annual desert festival. It was wild but controlled, funny but scary, deeply tender yet filled with aggression.

Or at least that’s how it felt for about 45 minutes.

That’s when Lady Gaga, so close to greatness that even we in the audience could taste it, sadly stalled out, her momentum undone by poor song choices and a coarse promotional plug that made the whole show feel like a mere inducement to buy something.

"Poor song choices".  The performance was for her fans, stop complaining that she played really good non-singles, general public.

THIS GUY SAID HIS SB PERFORMANCE WAS DISSAPOINTING, IM OUT

I thought it was great. I mean I think it could have been "better" but honestly, it was a great set and I enjoyed the song choices. It also felt very real which Gaga can sometimes struggle to convey.

It was really, really messy. She was off all time, the outfits were terrible (aside from the Scheisse one, which was flawless), she looked bored..

Hunty did we watch the same show? She was only off on Alejandro by a little bit. And she was so into it, never once looked even a bit bored to me. Every song blew me away

I didn't get that at all from her performance. She seemed like she was totally in the moment.

This.

I really didn't see any difference. Ofc she wasn't going to address the audience like she would address her fans because it was Coachella crowd. Not just fans who went to see Gaga especially.

Can we just agree people will always just find something wrong with her no matter how much she slays?

[Illuminati 15,921]

wow really? a musician promoting their music? outrageous

[Nemo 4,291]

Whatever. I thought she finished stronger than she opened.
