ToxicWind posted:From a recent performance in sweden: It all started when that video of her in New Zealand came out where she looked like she was about to pass out. I think she is working harder than most pop stars but do hope that after the US tour she takes a mini-break to finish up her next album and get some rest before the next tour in 2011. I wouldn't be surprised if she feels like she could work until she dies.

Working seems to make her extremely happy, and as long as she's happy, she'll continue to produce fantastic music and art, as well as legions of adoring fans. Whatever winds up happening, she'll leave behind an amazing legacy, and she'll have changed the face of pop music and pop culture substantially. But let's not dwell on such things just yet.

Crows Turn Off posted:I think she's made it clear that if she wasn't working, she'd be doing a lot of drugs. I think the concern about her working so much is the fact that touring can be draining and stressful. To announce extension after extension on top of all her ongoing projects sounds like it could be overwhelming for her. But, yeah, she knows her limitations better than anyone else. It's just that we really like her and don't want her to get all chewed up.

She said she would also sit alone in her apartment listening to The Cure and do coke by herself, or as she would tell her friends, "I wouldn't be alone, it would be my mirror and myself"

She's also said she doesn't drink while she tours because she wants to give everything to her performances. Her rider never has alcohol in it, and is actually pretty boring compared to most pop stars'. I know I've watched her give an interview where she explained the alcohol thing (and even the hummus in her rider) but I can't seem to find it.

People are saying she needs to take a break because she seems to be the hardest working musician of her stature. She's on every TV show as a guest or performer, she at least attends all the award shows, magazine interviews, tweeting all the time, she's doing a worldwide tour, and recording a new album already even though the last one came out six months ago.

... how can anyone watch that Sweden clip and say "yeah, she's going to be fine"? News flash: Nobody can maintain the pace at which she's going. Talk like that is a pretty good sign that she knows exactly what kind of meltdown is coming.

I saw her last night at O2 world in Berlin and it was the most fun I've ever had at a concert. I've been going to shows pretty regularly since 1991 (I know, I'm dating myself terribly) and I don't think I've ever experienced the level of performance, showmanship and just pure loving awesomeness that was Gaga. This was also my first "pop" concert (I'm too old to be a music snob anymore I guess) and I've vowed to go see her again in November when she comes here to Poland. My 3 friends who went with me did the same. I would see her again tonight and any night if it were possible. If anyone is on the fence about going to a show, loving DO IT.

So the website is a little confusing, but I think I just used my Citibank card to prebuy Lady Gaga tickets for April 2011. I thought the website was saying this Friday at 10am was the presale, but it allowed me to just buy it right now. Also, I didn't even have to use my Citibank card to actually buy them, they just wanted the code from my Citibank card to access the presale.

I thought I'd share this with you guys, 'cause why not. My fiancée had to MC a fashion show her sorority was putting on, and a couple of weeks before that while we're both drunk she says to me: "hey Action Man, could you make a telephone hat for me for the show?" "what, like the one in the video?" "yeah like that" "poo poo yeah! I can do that!  "Not one to shirk on drunk promises I had to follow through, and this is what happened. I don't think it's too shabby for not knowing the first thing about making hats.  Click here for the full 600x800 image.

That looks pretty good from a distance. The tape is a bit distracting if you look at it close up, but I love that you got a uniform color on it. I think Gaga would approve. Did you actually saw off parts of a rotary phone?

Feb 21: NYC Feb 24: Washington D.C. Mar 10: Columbus, Ohio Mar 14: Dallas Mar 15: San Antonio Mar 19: Salt Lake City Mar 28: Los Angeles Apr 18: Duluth, Georgia The thing that I don't get is that she already has an April 18th date in Atlanta! I'm hoping she plans another Detroit date otherwise it looks like I'm driving to Ohio. EDIT: Update! These events are no longer listed on the events page of her website. Keep your eyes open though!

I wish these dates wouldn't go on sale so early since I just spent 800 bucks on this years tour and Lolla tickets. It just sucks because I know that her third album will be out by then and I'll be 21 by those shows.

The Gwinnett Center Arena, which is where the April 18th show is, is in Duluth so I don't think that's actually a new show. They're just being a little more specific than "Atlanta", I think. I want to go to that show so bad too, but there's no way I can afford tickets right now. I'll just hope they don't totally sell out before I have the money. Really want Little Monster Zone, but that's probably a pipe dream I was planning to make a road trip to either the Raleigh or Charlotte shows in September, because neither of them are sold out yet (at least there were still some $87 tickets last I checked). I think I may still try to do that, because it's almost guaranteed to be a different show at least slightly than when she comes to Atlanta in '11.

I'll be at the April 18th show in Duluth. It seems so far away, but I'm just gonna try to forget I bought so it just sneaks up on me. We got the Citibank pre-sale tickets. Ended up being about 400 bucks total for two tickets.

Did you actually saw off parts of a rotary phone? Yeah, I took cannibalized two rotary phones and a hard hat. I couldn't figure out a good way to connect all the cardboard pieces and conceal the edges at the same time without tape. If she wants to wear it again for something else i'm considering finding something thick to coat the whole thing to conceal tape and repainting it. I'll post some in progress pictures later. It was a little bit of an engineering feat getting it all sit right. Serious props to whoever produced the original.

OK, so apparently those 8 dates I posted have now been REMOVED from her list of events on her website. Not sure if they will return but I think so; they seemed to follow a tour pattern with the others. E: Another update! Two more dates have been removed from her events list: the March 3rd Toronto date and the April 13th Miami show. There's no news on what is going on with them. I hope it's just website things. 2E: Checked again this morning, the NYC that was posted yesterday is back. Personally, I'm going to assume they are all still existing.

If you've ever wanted to see Gaga sing "Don't Stop Believing" with Elton John, Sting, Springsteen, and others, your wish has come true! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcIEEdTiNak Note that there are probably better versions of this if you look around.

Jesus, could that jerk not hold the camera straight? I think Elton's showing his age, but I thought he was doing fine. Gaga looked fabulous as always, but I would've liked to see more of the others. I had trouble seeing the shoes, but it looked like they had massive platforms but no heel. Frankly, I'm surprised she hasn't worn something like that yet.  This pair's like a whole size too big for this model.
