I swear I remember some Broadway producer actually saying that Gaga was involved in a revival of Cabaret on Broadway but then we ended up not hearing anything about it, maybe she got offered JFAD shortly after and decided to focus on that instead. I remember it was rumoured that Bradley wanted to take the London revival of Cabaret to Broadway. The latest West End version is pretty different conceptually to the original, it's in the round in the theatre for starters which is pretty unique for Broadway/West End.

It's also universally hated on Broadway. It's great she missed this one.

Enough with jazz and haggery, pls. LG7 can't come soon enough, chi.

 

Even though it's been over two months () the Dance in the Shadow snippet still sounds amazing. I'm ready for whatever she's been cooking up with LG7

Now which one of you is this?

I really don't see how this is negative. It's a factual statement.

Lady Gaga's Incredible Performance of "Mon Truc En Plume" at the Paris Olympics

The rumors were true: Lady Gaga performed a stunning rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire's "Mon Truc En Plume" during the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 26. The gorgeous performance took place alongside the River Seine, where Gaga walked down the steps alongside dancers with massive pink feathered fans and paid homage to the iconic French song. She then moved on over to the piano, where she continued performing before closing things off with more choreo. Honestly, we've lost any and all ability to chill.

One of the best moments from the opening ceremony:

 

"Bonsoir, bienvenue en Paris!" Lady Gaga cried as she kicked off her long-rumored performance at the opening ceremony, doing a joyous rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire's classic standard "Mon Truc En Plume." Surrounded by dancers wielding flamingo-pink poufs, she was dressed in Dior Haute Couture.

NYT:

 

Lady Gaga kicks things off
Thirteen-time Grammy winner Lady Gaga emerged from behind two large plumes of pink feathers to perform Zizi Jeanmaire's "Mon Truc En Plumes" on a set of stairs alongside the Seine. She wore a black coat with a long train featuring pink feathers at its tail and was accompanied by dancers who later helped her remove the coat to reveal a black bodysuit. The pom poms used in the number were rented from "Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater" and the costumes were custom creations in collaboration with Dior, Gaga wrote in a post on X.

Gaga briefly slowed down the high-energy performance to play piano for a moment before kicking the tempo up again. A dancer helped her add a large puff of white feathers to her back to accessorize her bodysuit to cap off the final part of her show.

Lady Gaga Pays Homage to French Cabaret Icon Zizi Jeanmaire

 

Lady Gaga is an expert in delivering over-the-top performances in style. As the first performance of the opening ceremony, the musician dug deep into French pop culture history with a set paying homage to the cabaret icon Zizi Jeanmarie. Gaga's performance channeled the singer, dancer, and actress' 1965 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, where she performed "Mon Truc En Plumes" with feather-backed choreography. Gaga moved in tune with her dancers, shuffling up and down a gold staircase while their pink feather pompoms bounced around her. She delivered the song entirely in french, tapping into the jazz show-tunes performance style she knows and executes so well.

Paris 2024: Celine Dion And Lady Gaga Give Historical Performances At The Opening Ceremony

 

For her dazzling opening performance, Lady Gaga slowly walked down the stairs of the Parisian metro, all dressed in black, with an enormous black cape adorned with pink feathers, surrounded by a dozen of dancers, all carrying huge fans made of pink feathers. The singer even took a moment to play a little bit of piano herself. Her outfit as well as the choreography were both a beautiful tribute to the original singer.

The kicker is that it's the stans of artists who are actually panned who have tried to push this narrative the hardest

 

always knew cynthia is such a OGH for not saying gaga as well tbh

Ari, on other hand, mother, sister, queen,

Happy that this is the gayest Olympics yet, viewers from my conservative country were shaking in their boots yesterday lol, that's fun.

Also the announcers said Gaga's name twice, guess she is not banned in China

On this 2nd watch, it definitely looks better to me. She played the piano a bit more than I remember and it felt less awkward overall I can't speak to her pronunciation since I don't know French so in my case ignorance is bliss dd. Her smile was infectious and loved that she used her higher register. Also for the type of performance that it was, I think the stage & space was pretty appropriate tbh. Godga!

Is this the final big stage she could possibly perform? Is the fifa world cup bigger than the Olympics?

2nd JFAD trailer at 20.1m views 

I noticed it surpasses the Gladiator II trailer already despite the former having been out for weeks already. It's also getting close to the view count of the Twister 2 trailers (the movie over-performed at the domestic BO last weekend). I trust WB to not drop the ball in the marketing department so things are looking good so far! 

I'm late, but I loved the performance. Her French at the beginning is really good, she sings well, the staging is cute, but maybe not grandiloquent, especially since the way it's filmed is not very professional.

But it's incredible that it's the most viewed French show in the world.

Literally all my coworkers watching earlier in the day were living for the performance, thinking it was so fab. OGH's genuinely live in a different dimension than reality when it comes to how they perceive Gaga.

I would have loved to see it at night with the city illuminated behind her and some stage lighting on the dances. 

 

But that would mean we'd have to site through the entire show so maybe her at the beginning was for the best. 

Mother, we love you!

 

Just getting home from an night out I'm tipsy and I'm watching the performance literally right now and  I love this, i don't speak French (but I can if you'd like) and I have never heard this song but it's such a bubbly cute song and I can't stop smiling watching her perform, she seems like she's having a lot of fun.  
 

Technically it's a incredible performance, I love it! What a pleasant surprise. 

Also I've been watching a handful of trailer reactions, this is the most recent but there is one who didn't like the first movie, one doesn't like musicals etc. , yet they all turn the page and all enjoyed the trailer and are looking forward to it. This one in particular they praise Gaga a lot and say she matches Joaquin, which she really does. Pretty much every review I've seen there has been positive, there hasn't been a bad one , the trailer did what it needed to do!
