From late Wednesday night through early this morning, more than 18,000 of the world's best fans flocked to Rockefeller Plaza in NYC to weather the heat and rain for Mama Monster Lady Gaga's performance on NBC's Today Show. Gags performed at 8:30 this morning as a part of the show's Summer Concert series and did not disappoint, as per usual.
Her performance included the usually unusual costumes and choreography, but Gaga's true vocal talents were showcased this time as she opened with a beautiful rendition of "Someone to Watch Over Me". This was followed by, of course, "Bad Romance", "Alejandro", and "Teeth", which she dedicated to her devoted little monsters whom she had sent pizza and water to yesterday while they awaited this morning's show. Gaga also gifted fans with an even tastier treat: a song from her upcoming album. "You and I" is a more soulful and slower ballad as opposed to her typical upbeat dance jams. The song had a style reminiscent of The Fame Monster's "Speechless", and LG, while sipping out of a large china teacup, claimed that this track is much different from the rest of the tracks to be featured on her next album. As Gaga closed the mini-concert with "Teeth", the skies opened up and rain downpoured on the star and the lot of fans, symbolizing the cathartic effect typically experienced by Gags and her fans after every performance.
Once again, my faith in Lady Gaga continues to strengthen. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us with her next outfit, album, performance.
