Taichung, Taiwan - Lady Gaga extended her very first performance in Taiwan on Sunday to tens of thousands of fans in ecstasy, singing five more songs than scheduled in a free concert.
CNA-OANA reports the American pop diva sang nine songs from her latest album "Born This Way" at Taichung City's Fulfillment Amphitheater in front of 6,000 people who luckily got tickets to the promotional show.
More than 30,000 people that could not get in also enjoyed the rare performance by watching two large screens put up outside the theatre. Some of them were satisfied with simply listening to the music and feeling the excitement in the air.
The international star opened the much-anticipated show in a sexy black thin sleeve-less dress, wowing the audience with her trademark wild dance and heavy-beat music.
Her "little monsters" were surprised by the singer's improvisation of the lyrics and spontaneous interaction with them, such as singing "Taiwan you and I" or stopping in the middle of a sentence to let fans finish singing the rest.
She said the flags printed with her album cover on the streets and a huge screen playing one of her music videos made her very happy.
"That made me so happy, so thank you." In the one-hour long concert, Lady Gaga mentioned "Taiwan" for at
least five times, either in her songs or in her talks. "(I was) very very very very excited to see Gaga and I hope she will come give a concert in Taiwan next time," said Pierre Fu, a man in special costume inspired by his idol.
He added the whole concert was so very unique that it was impossible to choose a favorite part.
"Amazing. Only this word can describe it. She was fantastic and very friendly," said Natashia Lee.
She said the concert "doubled" her imagination "I think she performed with utmost sincerity and beyond, just as what she promised earlier--she put 150 percent preparation into the concert."
The diva is scheduled to give a press conference in Taipei Monday before leaving Taiwan the next day. (ANT.U.C003)
