Lady Gaga dives into Super Bowl history
    2017-02-07  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

   

 LADY GAGA opened with Woody Guthrie’s civil rights anthem “This Land Is Your Land,” a gentle but pointed rebuke to the Trump administration, which she reinforced by performing “Born This Way” — her hymn to acceptance and inclusion.

    “No matter black, white or beige... I was born to be brave,” she sang to an expected U.S. TV audience of 110 million.

    But Gaga refrained from overt sermonizing, simply saying: “We’re here to make you feel good.”

    Ahead of the Super Bowl, the star said her show would be “inclusive” and celebrate “the spirit of equality.” Sponsors Pepsi simply said it would be “uniquely Gaga.”

    And, while she didn’t hatch from an egg (as at the 2011 Grammy Awards) or smear herself in blood (2009’s Monster Ball tour), it was certainly spectacular.

    Gaga first appeared 79 meters above the crowd, as a swarm of drones hovered behind her, twinkling in the sky before adopting the colors of the stars and stripes during Guthrie’s left-wing anthem.

    “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” said the star, who promptly did a swan-dive from the roof, landing on a towering, torch-like structure several stories below.

    There, she launched into a dizzying medley of hit singles including “Poker Face,” “Just Dance” and “Telephone,” backed by an army of dancers.

    Her vocals were strong and resonant throughout — although the intricate choreography left her out of breath for the set’s sole ballad, “Million Reasons.”

    Gaga ended the set with “Bad Romance,” backed by 40 dancers, dressed in blinding white costumes inspired by American football uniforms.

    Finishing the show atop a staircase, Gaga shouted “Super Bowl 51,” dropped her microphone and jumped into the crowd holding a glittery silver football. (SD-Agencies)
