You're invited to Lady Gaga's Monster Ball


All you baby monsters out there, it's time to put up your paws and wave it around as M-Net is screening the Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour tonight at 20:30. The five time Grammy-winning artist will sing all her big hits as well her newest chart-topping single Born This Way. According to MTV, Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden is a love letter to her hometown, fans and her roots and also puts viewers in the front row at one of her shows. The special opens with Gaga greeting her friends on the Lower East Side in Manhattan and buying a coffee at a local deli decked out in a biker jacket, bodysuit and heels. She struts through the neighbourhood and into an SUV. She pulls up to Madison Square Garden. From the car, she greets her fans. "You know how many times I came to this arena? And now they're opening up these gates for us," she marvels to her team. Now viewers are backstage as she puts on makeup and confesses, "I start to think about all the people that have tried to stop me, and I get this super-intense fury. ... I just sometimes feel like a loser still." The biggest reveal in the special is watching Gaga backstage singing a few lines of her still-unreleased Born This Way track "Marry the Night." It happens fast, but Little Monsters are sure to eat up footage of her singing the track to herself. The Monster Ball itself has been edited with a constant stream of Gaga-isms about her fans, adversity and individuality, along with quick frenzied backstage shots, song changes (old and new) and, of course, costume changes (many of which are documented in those backstage moments). It gives anyone who hasn't been there in person a good idea of what the show is all about.
