When In Manila, the newest venue for the biggest concerts just opened their virgin gates to the Mother Monster and her thousands of Little Filipino Monsters!
Lady Gaga had a jam packed stadium that isn’t even 100% finished yet. The SM Mall of Asia Arena (MOA Arena), said to have a seating capacity of 16,000 and a full house capacity of 20,000 (when the mosh pit area / floor is open like for concerts), welcomed Lady Gaga with open arms!
The concert included Lady Gaga’s biggest hits like Marry the Night, Poker Face, Just Dance, Edge of Glory, Judas, Bad Romance, Paparazzi, Telephone, Alejandro, Born This Way, Hair, You and I, plus more.
The Lady Gaga Manila Concert did not disappoint those looking for extravagant performances, crazy sets and even more outrageous special effects. The night began with Lady Gaga wearing a Sigourney-Weaver-type-Alien looking armor while riding a man powered horse (which actually looked like a real horse at first glance).

After which, another entrance with Lady Gaga now bearing more of herself coming out of a makeshift vagina of a giant pregnant woman. You really had to be there to fully understand what I’m talking about… but I got this video below that might help a bit…
Lady Gaga Born This Way LIVE Manila Concert
In between the music and “Gaganess,” Lady Gaga seemingly shed some tears while mentioning the protests against her.
Lady Gaga Cries while talking about Manila Protests
Lady Gaga cried while trying to explain how she’s simply trying to be herself, a non-conformist rebel who fights for what she believes in. Gaga added that the main difference between rebels and others is that rebels fight for what they believe in while others simply complain about what they don’t like.
According to Lady Gaga, the night was not about sending a message, nor was it about her, nor was it about music; Gaga says that the night was simply about acceptance.
It was all good vibes from then on.
Here’s one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs, Just Dance!

Lady Gaga Manila Concert: Sheds Tears on Philippine Protests
It’s weird that generations today liked songs base on rhythm and the artist behind it without caring and realizing what does it really means.,I agree with the one comment below,”I don’t see much with Gaga. Her performance rely solely on ravish props,
extravagant productions, skin exposure and provocative choreography”. Its all about the fact that recent generations born with several brain damage (most of it related to left brain lobe)…

Great concert! Wish I was there! Thanks to the conservatives for helping make #Lady Gaga’s Manila tour a sold-out success! Next up…Diablo III!
Lady Gaga is very talented and has come so far to be where she is at the moment. Like she said, she wants the best for all of us. And for the protesters who say that she is promoting Satan and whatnot, are downright ignorant. Songs/lyrics aren’t just words read plainly, songs are like poems, it has substance and should be read between the lines. Judas is a song about her former lover, describing him as a metaphor to Judas. Since her lover betrayed her (like Judas did to Jesus), she chose him even though he was bad for her, yet that doesn’t change the fact that Jesus is still her virtue. Which means to say, that like any other human being on Earth, she was stupid enough to be with the guy because of her love for him even if he has done things to hurt her.
If people believe everything they read then they will be fooled even if they don’t know it. Just look at how the media tries to fool us with their articles just to spin the truth. People should learn that the truth isn’t always found on TV or on some newspaper.
