ANVEEROY 61,216 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Lady Gaga, the shape-shifting belter whose ascent over the last nine years helped usher in pop music’s shift toward electro’s rigid beats while giving a huge boost to its overall weirdness quotient, began her career gutting it out at small clubs in New York City under her own name, Stefani Germanotta. During her fast-paced, splashy show at Fenway Park on Friday (the first of two there this weekend), her production numbers — full of onstage costume changes and big beats — were balanced by heartfelt speeches and chats with the audiences that gave off if not the sweaty, cramped feeling of catching a band a small bar, at least a sense of camaraderie with the performer and her fellow audience members. Her new album’s back-to-basics reputation is a bit overblown; while its lyrics are abstractly reflecting on her own life, the electro-cowboy stomp “John Wayne” and the storming “Perfect Illusion” are only two “Joanne” selections firmly rooted in dance-pop’s ideas. From top to bottom, the night was defined by Gaga’s acrobatic, rich vocals and overwhelming charisma. But a few moments allowed her to break from the big beats and synchronized dance moves of her biggest hits like the stuttering “Poker Face” and the grandiose “Bad Romance,” which were for the most part faithfully recreated by Gaga, a wide array of modular costumes and cowboy hats, and her phalanx of dancers. The night ended with the weeper “Million Reasons,” which she preceded with a high-five-punctuated walk around the stage’s lip and dedicated to her most fervent fans (who dressed up for the occasion in glittery capes and uncomfortable shoes). She wore a version of the giant pink cowboy hat that she sports on the cover of “Joanne,” and as the song drew to a close, she waxed philosophical one last time: “Sometimes it’s important,” she said, “to try on somebody else’s hat to understand.” The restlessly morphing pop star doffed the hat and placed it on the microphone stand, then walked off, allowing the spotlight to shine on her ad hoc sculptural work, which was perhaps a statement on taking time to listen.
