Born This Way Ball Review

Key Quotes from the article: (Thank you Pike for doing this)

The presentation was surprisingly demure, however, for a singer most famous for her ability to shock.

But never mind the scenes of scantily-clad male dancers caressing each other and the singer grinding against a female dancer on a motorcycle. They did not feel sensual; the former, especially, seemed rather mechanical. The show was mostly tongue-in-cheek and playful rather than offensive or harmful.

It was practically impossible to tell when she was singing live or lip-syncing to pre-recorded tracks behind those veils, but more props to the sound engineers who made it indiscernible.

Her costumes, even the infamous red meat dress, did not break new ground but never failed to excite the adoring crowd. She changed into new outfits after almost every track, the wait for which, albeit astonishingly brief, cluttered the show.

[When] Gaga and her team decided to be serious at some moments, including an interlude about creating a “new race within the race of humanity,” they fell flat.

Gaga's routines are so challenging that she pukes during the show

She tweeted this.



This picture of her and the alleged teen model molester is from the Monster Ball, not from the Born This Way Ball in Tokyo.  I guess Gaga was looking for an excuse to plaster her saggy, cross nipple, tit grabbing pic on Twitter as a statement on.....um.....hang on, it's coming......she's trying to......the message she wants to send is.......that we have about as many rights as the meat on our bones.  No wait, that was the meat dress statement.  Oh, I give up!

UPDATE:  I stand corrected.  The pic is at the hotel bar in Tokyo last week.  Still....what does this have to do with puking because her show is hard?  Maybe she's puking because of this.



Anyway, watch the performance below.  This is what has Stefani puking in between songs.  I laughed at 1:49.

"Mom, look what I can do".



 



No permit for Gaga: Jakarta cops


Read the rest HERE.  It's not looking good for Stefani's show.  Check this out.  Is this what's in store when the Born This Way Ball rolls into Jakarta?

Honestly, I hope her show goes on as a big F.U. to these hateful, violent, murderous religious zealots.  Once again religion proves how it is a cancer on society.  A peaceful world is a religion free world.

Lady Gaga's Indonesia Concert Should Be Canceled: Jakarta Police



This is going to get ugly.  Hard line Islamic group Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) based in Indonesia is allegedly planning a huge push to stop Stefani's concert from happening in Jakarta. 

Stefani also faced pressure in Korea from Christian groups however the show went on without any violence and injuries.  What may happen in Jakarta though is really scary.  Hard line Islamic groups aren't known for their peaceful resolutions and are fanatical when it comes to their religion.  Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world.  

FPI’s leader Rizieq Syihab furthered the devil worshiping claims, adding that the singer was planning to build Lucifer’s kingdom in Indonesia.

“If she performed, I will send Muslims in Jakarta to stop the concert,” he said in Temanggung. 

FPI chairman Rizieq Shihab had previously urged Gaga to call off the show, telling The Jakarta Post, “If you want chaos in Jakarta, just continue to hold the concert.” 

What does he mean by that?  Exactly how does the FPI plan to stop the concert?  The police in Jakarta are recommending that the show be stopped but that would be up to Gaga and her people.   It was in Bali, Indonesia, a predominately Hindu island of the Muslim nation, that several nightclubs were bombed because of so called Western impurity.  Hundreds died and the carnage was horrific.  

Could a repeat of the Bali bombings be a possible threat that concert goers have to worry about? 


                     


“Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience.”

Lady Air Guitar

This is just too much.  During Stefani's performance of "Electric Chapel" in Tokyo, she tries to convince the audience that she can rock out on a guitar.  Take a close look.  She's focusing too much on the air guitar that she's losing concentration on her vocals and "dance" abilities.

   

Paws Down suggests she's strumming.  I actually wonder if the guitar is even plugged into the amp!  If it is, it's probably one made by Fischer Price.

To run the risk of sounding like a Madonna fan page again, I have to go down that road because the comparison is ringing like a five alarm fire.  Madonna's tackled guitars and while she may not be Eddie Van Halen, she can play, much better than Gaga.  Here we have Gaga once again trying to mimic Madonna's stage repertoire.  Madonna started off as a drummer in her first band Breakfast Club.

                     

Here's another clip of Stefani in Seoul playing the, um, guitar.

Thanks Paws Down.  It really is a regurgitation of 2010.  Nothing new and running out of ideas.  Yawn.
