Loyal TMS readers already realize that I have no shame about my love for Lady GaGa. Consequently, as soon as she announced a four night stand at NYC’s most legendary venue, I had no choice but to attend and live out my guilty pleasures without any prejudice. While last night’s Monster Ball performance was certainly not the best pop show I’ve ever experienced (Kylie Minogue’s epic Hammerstein Ballroom gig takes that crown), it was highly innovative and totally fabulous from start to finish. Official TMS Rating: 9/10. ‘Bad Romance’ is my second favorite single of 2009. Lady GaGa is nominated for a 2010 Brit Award. For the remainder of the day, all merch purchased on GaGa’s official site will go directly towards Haiti relief.
