Anveeroy 56,924 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 As she points out more than once tonight, Lady Gaga’s commercial breakthrough came almost a decade ago. An eternity in pop – Taylor Swift was still a country singer, Miley Cyrus was still Hannah Montana and Gaga’s early singles battled it out with Duffy and the Ting Tings at the top of the UK charts. But it’s evident from the first British date of her world tour – postponed from last year as a result of the singer battling fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition – that if pop music has changed since then, so has Lady Gaga. It’s a noticeably different beast to the live shows she staged at the turn of the decade, in which blood was spurted, sofas apparently made of meat were sat on and the singer made her entrance via a giant vagina. The show’s unexpected emotional climax comes not with the solo piano performance of The Edge of Glory, which provokes a vast, heartfelt singalong, but when someone throws a crumpled ball of paper at the stage. It’s a message from a teenage boy in the front row, who’s travelled to the gig from Belfast: a grim, familiar saga of loneliness and being bullied at school, thanking the singer for making his friendless lunch breaks bearable through her music. She reads it out, then clambers into the crowd to speak to him off-mic, halting the show so he can take selfies with her. It’s a curious, slightly awkward moment that is genuine and heartfelt, a world away from pop music’s usual tendency to give between-song lip service to celebrating individuality and difference while promoting a perfectly styled conformity at all other times. Standing in the middle of the audience, Lady Gaga still seems as unique a star as pop has produced in recent years.

Flop fan We can’t blame you though, considering we never got a professional recording of the BTWB & it’s kind of hard to see with only fan recordings taken on 2011 quality cameras.
