I am going to share an incredible breathtaking day in my life.
Earlier this year I attended Lady Gaga’s sold out show, The Joanne World Tour in Edmonton on August 3rd It was her second show after it kicked off in Vancouver.
Me and and my best friend Kylie woke up at 4:45am to get ready. We showered, put on makeup and got our outfits ready. My outfit was made a week prior to the show.
A leather jacket hot glued with diamonds, jewels and rhinestones with a red cross painted in the middle on the back a reference to her song “Judas”. The words Lady Gaga were glitter painted on the top and bottom, and under it I wore a Lady Gaga shirt, the rest of the outfit, glitter leggings and the boots bedazzled with rhinestones.
We were ready by 6am, we

It did not feel real, suddenly the pain in my legs and the hotness from all the crowded bodies went away. She was right in front of us. She performed many of her hit songs including Perfect Illusion, Just Dance, Poker Face, Telephone and The Edge of Glory (which a lot of tears were shared. The night suddenly came to an end at 11:57. She closed with her hit single Million Reasons on a piano, the last thing she said to us “Cause baby I just need one good one.. You know something I see one real good one” and pointed at us. She was lowered into the stage with the piano with nothing left but the microphone stand, piano stool with her pink hat and eventually the piano rose back up. The lights came on and suddenly the pain in my feet came back, it was hot, sad and over. It felt so different than anything imaginable, I felt empty yet so so full.
Throughout that concert it really brought people together. The fans, Gaga, the visuals and the music made it the most breathtaking and incredible experience in my life so far. The waiting was long but I only wish I could have waited longer. I wish I could go back to that morning at 4:45am and get ready all over
The concert that I attended last Friday was an interesting one where I got to have some new experiences and learn about classical music.
The SuperBowl 51 was one of the craziest games of all time. The best part about it was the halftime performance performed by Lady Gaga. The performance got more views than the actual game itself making it the 2nd most viewed halftime performance right behind Katy Perry’s performance in SuperBowl 49. The following songs listed were performed during the SuperBowl 51 halftime show by Lady Gaga: “Pokerface”, “Born This Way”, “Telephone”, “Just Dance”, “Million Reasons”, and “Bad Romance”.
I will explain how wonderful it was: Firstly, it totally changed my bias to the music to genuine appreciation to the music. Secondly, it refreshed my stubborn heart and nearly dead soul. Thirdly, it taught me a really important, precious, meaningful lesson of life which I had never had before. And the last but not the least was that it inspired me to achieve another great and long-term dream of mine as I listened to the part for many times and had a deep reflection on it:
Music is an inspirational outlet that can be used to convey a message to other people who relate to that message. Music can become even stronger when the person who is performing it is an inspirational source as well. For the past 30 years Madonna has become a well-known artist, actress, and role model to the people who support her. All artists know that they are only number one until someone else comes along and replaces them with more intriguing work to offer. Lady Gaga has been said to be the new Madonna of our generation and is quite often compared to her in many ways by her musical and styling choices. They both share similarities such as their musical genre, style, feminine empowerment, and their support towards the gay community. Their differences can also be seen in those same fields as well.
Definition Of...” and start back touring the world! Later on in the month of July, she released “The Definition Of...”. To better promote this album, she once again went on tour but this time with Anthony Hamilton. Together they traveled across North America to perform at various venues for
Right from the beginning, she began her journey to becoming “Diana Vreeland”. She was born in Paris right in the hart of fun and excitement. She stated in “The Eye Has To Travel”, a documentary made to tell her story that she grew up in a sort of “theatrical ambiance”. Starting at a young age, the visual hunger for high glamor, elegance and creativity began. When her younger sister and her were sent London for the coronation of George V in the jeweled elephants and horses in bulk left an impression as it would for anyone.
The name of the performer was Ashlee Simpson. The date of the concert was on Saturday January. 8th, 2005. This concert took place at The Mall of America. This was Ashlee’s first concert in Minnesota and her first time at The Mall of America.
I purchased a General Admission Lawn ticket for $35, well over a month before the day of the show. Right after I heard that Mumford and Sons, one of my favorite bands, were coming to my hometown I knew I had to attend the show no matter what. My excitement continued to build as I kept hearing about the show on the radio, seeing commercials on television, and hearing all my friends talk about it.
For this assignment I have chosen to write a concert review on one of my favorite artist Lana Del Rey. I went to see her in late June in Charlotte at the PNC Music Pavilion. She was on her first headlining American tour called The Endless Summer Tour promoting her album Ultraviolence. I have followed Lana Del Rey for several years now and having the opportunity to see her live was an exhilarating experience. Classified as an alternative artist she offers many sides of her music with a sound that varies from and contemporary, pop, to folk. Listening to her music you can tell she was heavily influenced by the 1960s and 1970s as she embraces it continuously throughout her music and her style even referencing artists like Lou Reed in her song “Brooklyn Baby”.
As the dark stadium filled with fire, with the sounds of guns and bombs exploding everywhere, the crazed fans yelled at the top of their lungs. The enormous stage was rumbling with the sound of a single guitar as the band slowly started their next encore performance. Soon after I realized that I was actually at the Sanitarium concert listening to Metallica play "One", I thought to my self, "Is this real, am I actually here right now?" I had a weird feeling the entire time because I had worked all summer to simply listen to music with a bunch of strangers.
My favorite musical moment during the event was when the Jerry Don band would play different cover songs. I love listening to bands that are able to create their own music, while still being able to play a cover. If a band is capable of doing both, then I tend to find them more talented. I think this because if you’re a band like Jerry Don’s then a lot of people don’t know you or your songs. Therefore, if the band plays multiple songs that no one has heard of in a row, the audience may leave the event or just dislike the band in general. When you are a newer band, you want the audience to like you and appreciate your new music/ the talent your band has. Playing a mixture of cover
The girl slowly creeped across the floor. She had a look on her face of
The thud of the metal door brings Emma back to reality. Her hands are still closed into fists. Her body is shaking. Passing her fingers over her forehead, she tries to comb her damp hair and looks at herself in the mirror. Hot flashes paint her pale skin. Her eyes are still closed into slits. She reaches for the lipstick in the bag. Her heart is still pounding. Her fingers are still trembling. The creamy lipstick is a soothing balm for her quivering lips. She reaches for her phone and dials his number. She shoots streams of incomprehensible word banging her fists on the steering wheel. "Never again" she swears. "This is the end of our story," she says. In the disturbing silence of the night, the only comforting sound is the thud of her wedding ring on the concrete.
“This is a hell of a good book.” Chris Cutcher, who is an author himself said that about a book called Story of A Girl by Sara Zarr. In the book, Deanna Lambert got caught in the back of her boyfriend Tommy’s Buick by her dad. Now, she is sixteen, and she still has to deal with not only her dad hating her, but being called the slut in her school. She wants to escape her life that is defined by her past. Her brother and his girlfriend live in the basement with their baby, and they are the only people that care for her anymore and treat her fairly. This book was a National book award finalist, and the School library Journal said it was “Realistic fiction at its best”, and “An emotionally charged story”. Overall, there was some positive and negative criticism towards this book. One review that had some negative criticism was from a blogger named D. Swizzle. She mentioned that the book had no real plot, she thinks that Dianna is annoying in a sense that she blames everyone else on her previous mistakes, that some parts don't even have a
Our first performance seemed like a blur as I know we played it, but my mind only recalls the first screams from the sold-out crowd of what seemed to me all young girls. From there all I heard was more screaming and more applause. Now my mind is focused on the reality of all my dreams of adoring fans, girls, music, girls and more music.
