Lady Gaga, who needs no prompting for a bizarre performance, took to the AMA stage in a flesh-colored bodysuit and played a flaming piano.
Lady Gaga combined pseudo-nudity with martian gear during her AMA performance November 22. She wore a flesh-colored bodysuit covered in white piping during a medley of “Bad Romance” and “Speechless” – and at one point wore what looked like a glowing alien crown.
The second half of her performance included playing a flaming piano inside a glass box. To get into the box, Gaga used her microphone stand to break open a door. Nearby accompanying violinists wore gas masks in chambers filled with smoke.
All in all, Gaga’s show was in line with what viewers expect.
“My true legacy will be the test of time,” she told the Observer in June, “and whether I can sustain a space in pop culture and really make stuff that will have a genuine impact.”
That comment seems fitting, since whether you like her music or not, her shows always make a memorable impression. The AMA performance is just another in a series. She exercises her impact with truly bizarre imagery – but she stands out and draws legions, which is what counts in her field.
It seems Gaga can’t hurt her career by being too weird. She’s already survived rumors of becoming a hermaphrodite, getting plastic surgery to make her a “him” as well. Probably not true, but Gaga’s response to the rumor was typically off the wall.
“My beautiful vagina is offended,” she said during an interview with an Australian radio station. “I’m not offended. My vagina is offended.”
