One of the biggest tour announcements of this year has to be Lady Gaga’s ‘The Monster Ball.’ She really knows how to rock a stage, and I’m betting this one will be epic.
It looks like no momentum was lost for Lady GaGa following the cancellation of her ‘Fame Kills’ tour with Kanye West. In just a matter of weeks a new one has been announced. The opening date is already set or November 28th in Montreal.
On her official website, she described the tour as a “multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever ‘pop electro opera.’” That sounds nutty, but I’m sure she can pull it off. If her performance at the MTV VMAs was any indication, it will be out of control.
The thing I love the most about Lady GaGa is that she really comes across as larger than life—and it’s not even annoying. Usually people who have that ‘rock star’ vibe are pretentious and self-important, but for some reason her attitude works. Whether it’s her outrageous outfits, or her outlandish comments during interviews, she has the “it” factor nailed.
But it gets better. She’s planning to release the revamped version of ‘The Fame’ about a week before the tour kicks off. The new record will be called ‘Fame Monster.’ If you’re planning on heading out for the show, GaGa insists that you study the album closely so that you have the lyrics nailed. She penned a message to her ‘little monsters,’ which said:
“Fame Monster will come out four days before the first live show…You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly.”
I wonder if by dress accordingly she means to rock a Kermit The Frog dress?
