Lady Gaga thrill on Mayhem Ball Tour: concert evaluation

Lady Gaga thrill on Mayhem Ball Tour: concert evaluation


play

Las Vegas – Five songs in her concert, Lady Gaga stared and gathered: “Welcome to Mayhem. Welcome … in the Opera House. That is My A house.”

During the North American kick-off of her Mayhem ball tour on July 16, Gaga confiscated the stage in the T-Mobilile Arena with so much cheeky melodrama that nobody would dare to ask themselves in whose house they were for two hours.

Although she played a handful of shows around the world since her fascinating coachella in April, the Mayhem ball tour was well coordinated for the optimal satisfaction of the fans. She will meet several Arena data in cities, including two more in Vegas and in Seattle, San Francisco, New York and Miami before it ended in Chicago in September and recorded her spectacle around the world.

Together with pictures that Alice created in Wonderland when she plunged a rabbit hole in the arms of David Bowie and Marilyn Manson, the concert confirmed that Lady Gaga is the ultimate actor.

In four acts (and a final) with poetic names such as “Each chess board has two queens” and “Velvet and Vice”, Gaga, their team of more than more dancers and a robust band that galloped through songs and competed with any Broadway musical.

This was a monster porridge in the coolest sense, a place where feather flags and black lace bodies with swings and knee-high march boots coexist. Where the pop-goth from “Abracadabra”, the disco-feasting “lovemaking” and the heart-shaped balladry of “Flachem” all sound authentically. And where, as Gaga reminded towards the end of the show, everyone is welcome and respected.

Songs from their latest studio album “Mayhem” had about half of Gagas setlist, with the past it loves the rest. The topics of the new album explore the dualities of chaos and miracles, darkness and light, and so this charming production is based.

The background consists of a series of white columns with broken edges, an empty palette for green lighting to highlight “Garden of Eden” and purple shades of “Killah”, perhaps a subtle allusion to the radio rocker influenced by princes.

Gaga often acted as a pied whistle of her parade of dancers and struggled and stamped down a catwalk that stretched halfway onto the bottom of the arena. Every dangling wrist and the curved elbow choreographers became perfect. Although she was in the castle with her fleet foot force, Gaga also sang like the power pack, which earns her 14 Grammys and smoldered with the chameleonic intensity, which has secured her respect as an actress.

She may have been buried for a long, blonde hair in a sandpit with a skeleton for “perfect celebrity”, his crooked comments, which flows from her purple lips, or asks the fans to “absorb her paws” while being shot in a black Taffeta dress for “Zombieboy”. And of course and her wild cave of dancers, which were pushed under Pyro feathers for a joyful singal song by “Born This Way”.

As typical of a Gaga concert, the elaborate sets are intoxicating and the costumes are a Halloween dream. But the strongest moments are when it shrugs the broken windup doll and the weighing theatrics and her pure voice rises.

Her singing was her own ballet in “Million Reasons”, which she performed for the first time in 2020, but her gripping versions of “flat” and “die with a smile” swung deeply that night.

Her slow journey in a gondola while “flat” was a calming picture for the beautiful prayer The ballad is in this impressive solo version. For “with a smile” Gaga slid behind a piano to run the sold out crowd in a singal song of her blow with Bruno Mars, and hit every massive note with apparently ease.

While Gaga has inhabited many personas in her professional life, the beauty of her live appearances also lives in the quiet moments when she drops the characters and becomes Stefani Germanotta for a few minutes.

Her relationship with her fans has always been of great importance (“I love you more and more every year,” she said) and her common peculiarities are their currency. It does not matter whether Gaga is in her “Artpop” phase, a jazz application or a “Mayhem”, you and your little monsters remain in a completely committed love relationship.
