The Monster Ball 2011 - My Review

This past Thursday I went to the Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour at the Air Canada Centre.  I saw her last this past July, so I already knew that I was going to enjoy it.

What I didn't enjoy was the 10:20pm start time, when it was originally supposed to start at 8:50pm. Even worse the waiting that long was having to hear Michael Jackson's greatest hit on constant repeat. No one really needs to hear "Beat It" 4 times, no one.

When the lights went down and she took the stage, it was like I forgot that I had been standing since 8pm. The first part was the same as the last show. Beginning with "Dance In The Dark"

Dance In The Dark

The show really got going by the 3rd song. Her first hit "Just Dance"

Not only was the dancing better then the summer show, so was the sound and some new costumes. Also consider she was running 1 hour and 1/2 late Lady Gaga was really talkative. Including letting us know that she has never lip synced her her life. In her words " I would never be some lazy bitch who would lip sync for 2 hours!" It was clear that she was talking about the Britney's of the world.

Gaga can play the piano with her boot heal, Amazing!

The most talked about part of the evening was Gaga's duet with 10 year old Maria Aragon from Winnipeg. She posted her version of Born This Way on You Tube and was invited to sing in Toronto by Gaga herself.

Gaga & Maria

She was adorable and did a fantastic job singing in front of 15,000+ people.

This lead into the best part of the show. Monster, Teeth and Alejandro. The last song included Gaga crowd surfing during the middle of it. I never saw Madonna do that! It takes a lot to crowd surf in the outfit she had on & covered in fake blood.



Monster





Teeth, I was mad that I forgot to wear this!



This time the show had 2 encores, Bad Romance and Born This Way (the Express Yourself version) Both were amazing, or to quote Charlie Sheen, Epic and totally Bitchin!



Bad Romance, I think the best song of the show



                                                                    

Born This Way

I loved this show, and didn't even realize that it was almost 12:30am by the time it was done. Totally worth the wait, and Gaga lives up the to new Madonna title.

If anyone has a chance to see her GO!

10 / 10!!
