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 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:
I’ve attended over one hundred concerts in my life and this one was definitely up there for me in terms of excitement and quality. I’m originally from Greenville, so it was really cool to see a band that I actually like playing near my hometown. I would usually have to drive somewhere else to catch a show like that. I truly feel that this event set a precedent for what’s to come for the future music scene in the Upstate, and I’m excited to watch it take off from here.
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.
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.
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
I have been to multiple concerts but I have never seen a performer cater to their fans the way she did. It was about forty five minutes into the show when she started singing the album titled song Ultraviolence. As the song started wrapping up her band kept playing the melody as she walked off the stage and into the crowd. She then spent the next twenty minutes signing autographs, taking pictures and talking to some of her fans. As she proceeded through the remainder of the concert she read all the signs people made and were holding up. Continuously picking up every item that was thrown on stage for her carefully setting them to the side. One of my favorite things about her is that every time we would cheer or sing her lyrics back to her you would see a smile come across her face almost in disbelief that she was getting this
The girl slowly creeped across the floor. She had a look on her face of
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 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.
After the show, the majority of performers went to their dressing room to change clothes and then hung out outside the stage door to greet fans and sign autographs. Well, that didn't seem like a good strategy for me because they were older and knew what to say and how to act. I was still too hyped up from the show and I wanted to go out in the lobby where I hoped the girls would approach me.
By the twelfth song which was the last I could still feel the atmosphere, the pride and the gratitude of the people. We were just happy to be in their presence. For the last song the whole crowd moved together in a bizarre, alternative. dance. I am a sassy girl.
“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
Without warning, the lights went dark. This was the moment I had been waiting for. My adrenaline went through the roof. The time had finally come that I would get to see and hear my first live concert.
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
