Monday. My only day off this week. I start working at Studio 54 on Tuesdays. Good idea? We'll see. The extra money will be good, but will I get burnt out?
So I went to Lady Gaga at Suede tonight. Ok, mini backtrack. Went to O-Sho's with DJ Cookie tonight. Had a wonderful time. At Suede for the concert and Kelliane opened for her. I guess she owed Lee for a show. Not bad. They REALLY need to tone down on the drums and such and make her vocals good. But as for openings acts go, she did alright. Got the crowd energized. She played lots of Top 40 stuff, like Pink - So What, Britney Spears - Womanizer, Christina Aguilera - Keeps Getting Better, Pussycat Dolls - When I grow Up and Shut Up and Drive, but the song that most impressed me was Coldplay's Viva La Vida. A very hard song to cover but she pulled it off.
There was an hour or so break between her and Lady Gaga. Place is packed. Finally Lady Gaga goes on. Well, she performs her famous tracks, Just Dance, Starstruck, Poker Face and did Paparazzi, Dirty Filthy Rich, and another song, advertises that her cd is in stores and then leaves the stage. Ok at this point, I'm thinking that it's just a ploy to get some more cheer, or maybe a costume change. A few minutes go by and people are chanting her name. Well she's not coming back out. 6 songs?? Are you kidding me? At least come out and do one of the singles again. I felt so sorry for the mc, who had to get on stage and tell everyone, bluntly, that the show was over. $25 for a ticket and only 6 songs. Severely disappointing. For what it's worth, the show was highly entertaining. She launched herself into the crowd not once but twice. And her singing was spot on. But holy disappointing. At least Opi kept people there by playing good tunes afterwards. Lee, if you ever read this, I give it a 5 out of 10. Good artist, horrible finish.
Still one of my favorite tracks: Lady Gaga - Poker Face
