Gaga egged over Sidney performance in wheelchair
Lady Gaga is known to perform dramatic, theatrical and sometimes, just plain crazy antics onstage – and gets away with it. For the most part, that holds true, but Wednesday night was one of the few exceptions as she tried to pull off a stunt for which she was heavily criticized – not through words but through poultry – for being insensitive on the plights of the disabled.
As reported by British website Metro Online, the ‘Edge of the Glory’ singer went out onstage in the midst of her show in Sydney on Wednesday on a wheelchair. This sent people on the roof for what they thought as a tactless and insensitive gimmick by the singer. As a result, pissed attendees of the show egged her but to no avail, as she successfully dodged the egg attack thanks to her wall of posse, talk about “eggs of glory”.
Does she have a thing for wheelchairs or cripples? No one really knows, but this isn’t the first time Gaga tried to perform such a stunt. Two years ago at the MTV VMAs, she tried to re-create her ‘Paparazzi’ music video onstage with a dance routine a-la Glee’s ‘Proud Mary/Artie’ tribute (you can search for that Glee episode on YouTube, a season one episode where the kids sang ‘Proud Mary’ while rolling the school halls and auditorium on wheelchairs). And speaking of “eggs of glory”, Gaga appeared in this year’s recently concluded Grammy Awards from a hatched egg, as she premiered her much-anticipated single at the time, ‘Born this Way’. It would’ve been cooler though if she went all the way and appeared as a chick or anything with wings, a beak and feathers, anyway, she’s almost always clad in either or something that is similarly outrageous.
