Back when they cancelled the Fame Kills tour, I sad "Gee, I hope she goes on tour with Kid Cudi next so they can play 'Poke Her Face' together!"

I got my wish.

He's opening on this tour.

The wife decided it would be OK to not wake me up at 10 AM yesterday to get tickets as planned. Of course, being the San Francisco show, it sold out in the hour she let me sleep in. We're both really bummed now. Guess we'll have to go with scalpers.

If I'm not mistaken that sound effect is called a "hoover" and is used a lot in rave music.

You're not mistaken, it's the "WhatThe?" patch on the Roland Alpha Juno 2 synth. Really takes me back to 1999...

It's a shame really, I kind of was looking forward to Kid Cudi.

He was good, but he wasn't THAT great. It's low-key stoner rap. I've heard a rumour about Adam Lambert replacing him, which I think would be a much better fit due to his glam outlandishness.

Ugh I really don't want to have to resort to ticket scalpers but I missed the Boston show and the CT shows are pretty much all gone except for the pricey ones. Should I do it? I mean this is a big enough tour that it seems safe to assume she won't be coming back for a while

It is worth it to do whatever you have to do to see this show. By far the most entertaining concert I've been to.

This is truth. They were godawful. Was it just SPW and Gaga at the San Diego show? Is Kid Cudi already booted with no replacement?

Anyway, I got a question. I'm thinking of buying the Lady GaGa sunglasses (from her official shop). I live in Sweden, so I'll be paying a total of 28 bucks. Are they worth it, or should I shop more (to reduce shipping costs).

My wife has them, and I think she just loves them because they say Lady Gaga on them. They're regular plastic sunglasses that you could get at the dollar store with her logo on the side. Kinda disappointed considering how known she is for her awesome sunglasses.

One of her outfits looks like it was referencing The Spirit of Detroit

quote:

In its left hand, the large seated figure holds a gilt bronze sphere emanating rays to symbolize God. In its right hand, is a family group symbolizing all human relationships.

Given all that Gaga's done for marriage equality for gay families, this seems like a reference to "God and the Gays"

quote:

A plaque in front of the sculpture bears the inscription, "Through the spirit of man is manifested in the family, the noblest human relationship."

This pretty much mirrors the argument of what just happened in the Prop 8 federal trial here in California.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but given how big she is on symbolism...

She's always marching in Pride, she gave a GREAT speech and performace in Washington D.C. at HRC's annual dinner, and she just did This benefit concert in Atlantic City. She also auctioned off a meet-and-greet with her for Cyndi Lauper's HRC benefit auction.

Before the concert I went to they had Gaga in commercials for a charity for homeless GLBT youths, encouraging people to donate or volunteer, and that she'd match any donation that day. Apparently some volunteers got VIP packages or something.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that part too, and I even donated to it! Virgin was involved in that charity, so props to them!

Edit: But then again Crows was asking about marriage equality, not GLBT issues in general.

Polaroid too. Well, maybe not paid? She is their new creative director. She probably gets paid when people buy heartbeats too.

There's something going on here. After re-watching Telephone for the umpteenth time last night on vevo, it decided to show me the video for Video Phone which I hadn't watched in a while. Beyonce's shoes are ketchup red, Gaga's are mustard yellow. They also had alternating ketchup/mustard colored guns. When I saw Gaga live, there was a couple dressed up as a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mustard. What can this be about? Who's the largest ketchup manufacturer in the country? Heinz. Owned by? Teresa Heinz-Kerry. Married to? John Kerry. THE John Kerry of Skull and Bones society fame.

Further proof that Lady Gaga is an illuminati plant.

In the show's upcoming Gaga episode, which was shooting Monday, Corey Monteith won't be wearing crime-scene tape, he said, referring to a Gaga get-up in her recent "Telephone" video. Chris Colfer was pleased to have danced in 10-inch heels and emerged unscathed. And Kevin McHale seemed to hint that not all the guys got their Gaga on to the same degree.

Gaga goons, I need your help! My wife is a huge Gaga fan and a disability theory scholar. She is working on a Powerpoint presentation about disability and sexuality, and wants to include the images of Gaga in a wheelchair and on crutches from the "Paparazzi" video. Unfortunately, the only images we've found online are small and really low-quality. I've seen some of you make some pretty amazing screen captures from her videos, so can anyone help us out by capturing decent shots of the wheelchair and the crutches? Heck, if it's not too much trouble, animated GIFs (maybe twice the size of SA avatars) would be incredible. Thank you in advance!

My wife (and myself!) are both big Gaga fans and the wife works in the disability industry as well! I can at least help you out with the screencaps, in exchange can we get a copy of the presentation? It sounds fascinating.

All her singles get shirts. There's a Dance in the Dark shirt. There's also a shirt with a line from Speechless but I don't really see her putting that out as a single.
