Lady Gaga At The Joe Louis Arena In Detroit (Monster Ball Tour)

January 14, 2010 | Posted by Jaymalls

From television and radio, to magazine covers and the internet, you can find this girl everywhere. Lady Gaga, in my opinion, is the true definition of a Pop Star. Gaga has taken the world by storm… Similar to a young Madonna, but no where near as sexy! In just the little time Gaga has risen to FAME, she has a brought not only a slew of number 1 records; but a much needed spark to the struggling music industry.

With that said, here is some footage of Lady Gaga performing at the Detroit leg of her Monster Ball Tour (1-12-10). She performs all her songs, which are also all chart toppers, at the famous Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Judging by this footage, her performances are just as stunning and innovative as her highly talked about music videos. From the crazy stage effects, to the crazy outfits; her performance looked like scenes from The Lion King Musical at the Minskoff Theatre… mixed with the Wicked Musical at the Ford Center For The Performing Arts… and this is the KEY to her SUCCESS!!! Gaga’s eccentric personality and unconventional approach to composing music has really set her apart from her contemporaries, and has captured the publics interest in a way that no other artist/act has done in quite some time…

Concert Synopsis:

The show started with a video of Gaga floating in water. Then she appeared behind a giant, green, laser lit video screen featuring scrim lights, in a futuristic silver jeweled jumpsuit with bulbs on it, with matching eye makeup and mask, singing the song “Dance in the Dark” from The Fame Monster, while dancers dressed in white balaclavas and white jumpsuits moved around her. The scrim resembled an electric math grid which was lifted during the performance. After the song she strapped on a portable silver jewelled keyboard and started performing “Just Dance” while inside a white cube from which she emerged from the top, and the video screen came up. She was raised on a platform with a keytar over her shoulder as eight dancers in white bodysuits locked into step below her. This was followed by a brief video intermission and Gaga returned with an elaborate off-white costume that resembled an alien ecto-skeleton. She started performing “LoveGame” which ended with Gaga pointing towards her groins. A digital background of flames was featured with the dancers wearing skeletal headgear. As she got out of her ecto-skeleton outfit, she stripped down to a silver bodysuit for another The Fame Monster song, “Alejandro”, which saw her being carried by her crotch by one of her male dancers and lowered onto another male dancer…
