Monsters Of The World Unite!

I just saw the show on HBO and wow...boy did people get their money's worth! Her performance was excellent, funny and poignant (especially that bit about whether or not she sings live). My favourite moment was when she performed "Speecheless", "You And I" and "Born This Way".

Last year I was lucky enough to see Lady Gaga in concert and was most impressed with her. She went beyond what I expected and more than delivered, with a thrilling, engaging and highly enjoyable show! This HBO special was even better, a grand spectacle in line with Gaga's crazy universe, unmistakable talent, her sensuality and sexuality as well as vision and artistry!

Great job!
