Tips for the Concerts

Hey!
After many concerts that I have been I decided to make a post with some tips for the concert for you.
I made a list with the most important tips&tricks for the concert that can be helpful for you and your friends. 

Tips for concert:

Waiting time:
- if you want to stay in the first row, come to the arena like 11/12 am 
- always bring something that you can sit on the ground (mat or blanket) if you will forget it so you can use a plastic bag
- if the temperature is under 20°C (68°F)  you should bring some blanket (you must do it if you will not wear a jacket)
- to reduce the time, remember to bring something to play with your friends, if you're alone you can bring some study papers 
- the weather at the day of the concert can be really crazy, so if it will be raining and you do not want to bring umbrella, just buy some plastic raincoats

Food tips: 
- if you will wait very long outside the arena, you should bring some sandwiches, a small dinner (if there is no any market, restaurant or shopping mall nearby), and some sweets that will help you to reduce the hunger
- I always take only one small bottle of water. Why? Because when I have just a small bottle of water so it does not make me thirsty much and to drink it 
- always bring some chewing gum that can help you if you will be thirsty inside the arena and if you were not allowed to go in with a drink

Show tips:
- you should not really care about other people if you want to get the places that you really want. Especially, if you are not so tall, other people do not care much about the others
- if you want to go somewhere outside the standing or seating area (toilet or merchandise shop), you should take a ticket with you because the guards will like to see the ticket when you will go back to the area of concert
- if you do not need a bag to the concert so do not bring! It will reduce the time of control in the entrance to the arena, so you will luckier to get you dream place

That are all of my concert tips! I hope you like them and that they will be usefull for you!

The Best Lady Gaga's Performances in Her Career (Part 1)

Hi

Today I would like to show you some of the best Gaga's performances in here career. I chose only nine but there are much more and I would include them in the next post soon. By this videos you will see that she has the greatest voice in the world. She is now one of the artist that can actually sing live. Hope you will enjoy it. 

AMA's 2013

One of the greates performance of "Do What You Want". Gaga performed it with R. Kelly at AMA's in Los Angeles. The perfromance is energetic, incridible and has a message to the people. Gaga's vocals are really improving there, she showed us how strong she is after all bad things that the  

Grammy's 2011

An amazing performance of the first singel of Gaga's third album "Born This Way". Gaga has given a lot of heart to this song, so we can see it also in the performances. This one was the first performance after she realised the song in February 2011.

American Idol 

An amazing performance of "The Edge of Glory" on American Idol. Besides, Gaga's amazing vocals, the perfomance has something magical.

The Tonight Show

This is one of The most hypnotazing and magnetic performance of ARTPOP. The whole song sounds really mystical but with piano i addition, it sounds futuristic.

Baku 2015 Eupean Games

Gaga always love to perform this song but this performance was something wonderfull. The performance held in Baku at European Games Opening Ceremony. She performed it in front of 68,000 people. 

Cheek to Cheek Promo Concert 2014

Maybe not all will know that Gaga is not singing only pop. She also performes with jazz, rock or electronic music. On September 2013 she realised a jazz album with Tony Bennett. The promo performance where Gaga sang "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down") was very stunning. Does any of the other singers have voice like this? I have heard live this song and that thrilled me haha. Anyway, the song sounds live differently in various venues or if it is in the open air. 

Oscar's 2015

The most inridible performance that Gaga have made this year. She performed "Sound of Music" at Oscars in Los Angeles. The performance has slayed everyone in the venue and get the standing ovation.

Alan Carr- Chatty Man

Next performance from Artpop that gives thrills. It also seems so futuristic and mystic. Moreover, Gaga look and sound here like an angel! Is that how the heaven looks like?

Grammy Nominations 2011

One of the greatest song of Gaga "Marry The Night". The song is amazing on the album but it sounds much better live. The performance is very staggering.

Most Iconic Madonna's Live Performances

Hey!

After the Madonna's concert last wednesday I decided to write a post with her most iconic performance at her career. I chose only her promoting performances, not from tours. Hope you will enjoy it.

VMA's 2003

I started with the performance that everyone will certainly know. The one of the most controversial performance of Madonna and at VMA's with. Madonna kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera while they were singing Hollywood.

EMA's 2015

Who did not remember Madonna from colorfull times at her "Confessions on a Dance Floor" album? I think everybody does haha.  We can say that "Hung Up" is one the most popular song of Madonna's but this performance is iconic too. Will Madonna be back to those times? What do you think?

VMA's 1984

The most shocking and controversial performance of Madonna and at VMA's that time. This was the performance of promoting her hit single "Like a Virgin". Madonna . It was such a shock for people in 1984 but this was the key to Madonna's big career.

VMA's 1990

The most iconic and professional performance of Madonna's career I think. She performed with "Vogue" at VMA's 1990 in Los Angeles with the good style! Everyone certainly knows that she is not singing here live but would this performance be good enough with the live vocals?

Super Bowl 2012

The last winner is the Super Bowl performance in 2012. Performance at Super Bowl are always fantastic and full of energy but Madonna's was wonderfull. She performed medley of songs like "Vogue", "Music", "Give Me All Your Luvin", "Open Your Heart" and "Like a Prayer".

Which of Madonna's performances are the most iconic of your opinions? Did I include all?

Rebel Heart Tour- Berlin 11.11.2015

Hey!

On tuedsay I went to Berlin to see the queen of pop- Madonna at her Rebel Heart Tour. The show was great and fantastic. In this post I would like to share with you some of my experience this night!

I came with my friends to the arena after 3 pm and we had to wait until 7 pm to enter the arena. The opening act was DJ Mary Mac. The show started at 10:25 pm and end at 12:30 am. We waited so long to see her, even longer then at MDNA Tour in Warsaw in 2012. Anywaty I think all have forgiven her that she was late a little. Madonna started the show with her song "Iconic" from the latest album. The first act included songs like "Bitch I'm Madonna", "Burning Up", "Holy Water", "Vogue" and "Devil Pray".

Madonna performing "Holy Water" at the main stage

"Burning Up" in the middle of runway.

The second act started with "Body Shop" and then Madonna sang "True Blue", "Deeeper and Deeper", "Like a Virgin" where I almost touched her hand. She also made an amazing performance of "HeartBreakCity" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore"

The 2nd Act

"HeartBreakCity"

"Deeper and Deeper"

"Body Shop"

The third act began with an intro to "Living for Love" where Madonna went to the main stage and performed her first singel from "Rebel Haert". After this, she performes songs like "La Isla Bonita", "Like a Prayer" and "Rebel Heart". She has not performed the medley ("Dress You Up" / "Into the Groove" / "Everybody" / "Lucky Star" ) as she did it in some cities. Madoona also gave a speech before "Rebel Heart".

"Living for Love"

"Rebel Heart"

"Like a Prayer"

The fourth act started with "Music" and then Madonna performed "Candy Shop", "Material Girl", "La Vie en Rose", "Unapologetic Bitch" where Rita Ora was a special gest at stage. The show ended with "Holiday". 

"SEX" Interlude

"Music"

Madonna with Rita Ora

Here is my video of Rita as unapologetic bitch at stage with Madonna. You can also wathc more videos from the concert in this link.

"Holiday"

I really enjoyed the show. The only bad thing about it, was that the scene layout was not so good at all and I could not see Madonna at some parts of the stage (mostly at main stage and in the middle of runway) so the tips for those whos going to the show is if you want to see Madonna almost all the time you should stand in the middle of runway (cross), if you want to see the main happening things just stand in the first row by the main stage (you will not see the end of the runway so good then) or if you want to touch Madonna and see her close for some minutes, just stand in the end of the runway (heart).
