Cause you were born this way baby.
I think we can all agree we're addicted to this song... At least I am. And i loved how Gaga arrived in her egg at the Grammys!
Anyways, these latest 3 Lady Gaga pictures were taken in November at the Monster Ball in Belfast. I was looking though my Lightroom library and came across a few RAW photos that I didn't bother editing at the time. Thought i'd edit them now and upload now though, the more Gaga the better right?!
Check out the rest of the set..
Oh and I've decided to watermark my concert photos now since I've found my photos on many websites (taken without permission) and it kind of pissed me off that the sites put their own watermark on them :/
However if you're interested in using my photos just let me know! Send me a Flickrmail or Email me: hi@keizgoesboom.com :)

Vancouver Sun Newspaper:
Review: Lady Gaga takes Vancouver on a wild journey at Rogers Arena
VANCOUVER — There is no doubt about it, Lady Gaga is a stage beast. Actually, "stage monster" would be more appropriate, especially considering the moniker of her current tour, The Monster Ball Tour.
How else can you describe a performer that barrels through a dozen costume changes (each more intricate than the other) almost seamlessly, plays a piano on fire, provides more dance acrobatics than any other modern pop performer and does it all while actually singing, unafraid to pant into the microphone, out of breath but still going?
How did Gaga get here, playing in front of a sold-out throng of thousands upon thousands of delirious fans at Rogers Arena on Monday night? How did The Fame become The Fame Monster, The Fame Ball Tour become The Monster Ball Tour?
Because Gaga wanted it to. She wanted her image, her fame to conquer everything.
Like her or not, Stefani Germanotta was born to be a performer on a larger-than-life scale. It was her lifelong dream, and she cut her teeth like crazy in order to achieve success, finding every single new trick in the book, from the pretty cool (her SNL solo piano performance, sporting a ball of huge metal rings) to the kinda shocking (her bloodied MTV Video Music Awards appearance), even dethroning fallen angel Britney Spears (who quite obviously sang very little during her Circus tour) as the reigning queen of the Twitterverse in the process (see our side story).
Two years or so ago, Gaga was simply the weird-looking girl with that Just Dance song, a catchy, hipster-friendly tune with a rather shticky video like so many others.
Two years later, Gaga's brand has gone global, borne by a singular style of performance pop-art.
The last time she came to Vancouver, in December 2009, she headlined three sold-out shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and made it a bit of a nightmare for the media to catch what she was up to.
Gaga was mutating, moving from a larval pop state that would culminate in the global apotheosis that followed, emerging from her cocoon to headline a stadium tour that will have her rake in close to $200 million.
Her fans have also come out of their shells.
Gaga shows are now full-blown costume parties, and fans at Rogers Arena were not afraid to show their colours.
Outfits made out of yellow "Caution" tape, mirror ball hats, more wacky headbands and hairdos than you can imagine (featuring everything from cigarette butts to beer cans) with plenty of sparkles, sequins -- classic Gaga style.
How fitting then that "anything goes" seemed to be the M.O. with the opening acts.
First, and many probably missed her, NYC DJ Lady Starlight kicked things off early with a booze-drenched set of classic hard rock tunes,from Nirvana's Lithium to Queen's We Are the Champions by way of Faith No More's Epic.
Starlight is allegedly the one who inspired Gaga to rise from the shadows of New York's Lower East Side. If anything, her dedication to big crunchy riffs is commendable.
Proper openers Semi Precious Weapons? Well that's a whole other matter.
Let's not mince words. Lewd, crude and stupid, SPW were an insult to glam rock. "Real rock 'n' roll?" affirmed frontman Justin Tranter, who went so far as getting naked on stage to change "costumes." They're lucky to have a friend who's famous. And let's hope they never get any more famous than this.
For Gaga, performance art with a twist comes naturally.
With the countdown to the show over, Gaga makes her fans wait through a shadowboxing rendition of Dance in the Dark, striking poses, barely moving, letting her big voice and shoulder pads do the talking from behind the screen.
And then the big reveal: Gaga's show is not going to be a simple string-along of dance numbers. Instead, the stage was revealed to be an elaborate musical theatre set reminding us of New York City, with staircases, neon signs and a broken down yellow taxi, its stranded passengers trying to "get to the Monster Ball." Cue Glitter and Grease.
Gaga steadies herself. Catches her breath. Takes off her jacket.
Then she pops the hood of the cab: there's a keyboard inside. Just Dance. The neon signs flare up and boom, the crowd goes nuts.
Gaga is a dynamo. She dances, shimmies, stretches her body. Through it all she sings. And this Lady can sing.
What is the Monster Ball?
"It's a place where you can be super free, Vancouver," she screams.
Next, Vanity turns the place into a glam disco-pop-rock extravaganza with dancers and musicians crowding the stage.
Gaga disappears, only to resurface, draped in red, playing a strange stand-up bass outfitted with a sampling station. She disappears again. Video interludes assist set and costume changes.
Now Gaga emerges from a subway car in a dominatrix-esque nun's outfit for LoveGame. The crowd seems stunned.
Gaga strikes back.
"Now dance you motherf---ers!" she yells from the central platform.
She thanks her fans, gives a few words of inspiration
"When you leave tonight, don't leave loving me more, leave loving yourselves more," she says, saluting some of her costumed fans in the crowd.
And that's the Gaga recipe: Just like her hero Madonna, she just never stopped believing.
Sure, it's pop, most of it not necessarily earth-shattering. But it feels like Gaga is moving away from "performance for performance's sake." She's quite obviously enjoying every minute of it, and so are her fans.
The journey to the Monster Ball was far from over, Gaga morphing into a keytar-wielding, leather-clad temptress rocking Money Honey.
And yes, she'll be making tonnes more of that in the future. But it doesn't mean she's not going to give some of it back.
In fact, $20,000 from every show is donated to charities helping LGBT youth, she explains.
She gives a lucky fan a call and offers her a spot near the stage and a chance to meet her, then accepts one "from Beyonce." Telephone is simply jumping, which leads into Speechless, the track she plays solo behind the piano. And the piano is on fire. And just in case you thought Gaga may have pulled a fast one here and there and sneaked in a few lip-sync tracks, she pulls out a long, loud note. Yep, it's all real.
The journey down the "glitter road" continues, passing through a tornado, which gives us So Happy I Could Die atop a platform, Gaga playing the modern equivalent of the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz before landing in what could be Tim Burton's version of Central Park, Gaga attacked by zombie and dripping with blood during Monster.
"Do you think I'm sexy?" she asks, teasing the audience.
The journey wraps with Gaga's biggest hits: Alejandro, Poker Face, Gaga finally taking us to her Monster Ball (weren't we there all along?) for Paparazzi, her signature "fireworks" underwear finally making an appearance.
Two hours of Gaga is a lot, and some bits drag on a tad too much by the end. But as Bad Romance ends the night, Gaga standing in a giant gyroscope, the crowd jumping and singing every word, you just have to accept it: Gaga sure is something else.

This dress is called the "Living Dress". It was designed by Lady Gaga and her artist friends. They call themselves the "Haus of Gaga". The dress has a matching headpiece, translucent wings, and transparent high heels. The headpiece fans out into different positions and the sides of the dress physically move up and down while Gaga sings, hence the "Living" part of it's name. The wings start out pushed down, and then pop up. The dress has a really long train that flows behind her while she walks.
The dress takes about 3 minutes to put on, and Gaga can't do it by herself. During the show, a huge circular LED screen falls down, completely surrounding her and her dancers, hiding them away while they help put the dress on her. Fans are shown a video of Gaga twirling in a tornado during the 3 minutes, which plays to techno music.
Once the dress is on her, the screen lifts back up to the ceiling and her dancers leave. She can barely move in it, so she stays where she is standing, which ends up being a circular platform which rises about 15-20 feet in the air above the runway. The song that she performs during this time is "So Happy I Could Die". Fans are shown a huge video feed of her on a large curtain that falls down in front of the stage while she is performing, so that they can see the dress moving. The platform lowers back down towards the end of the song, and Gaga slowly walks down the runway towards the stage and exits.
I think this is the most amazing thing she's ever worn. I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
inspired in one of the scenes that she's on the Subway on her new videoclip.
hope u like it. :D
it's pretty big, so zoom it. :D

Gaga vs. dancers tug of war.

Gaga and her dancers, at the end of "Bad Romance".
This is a shot that I took during the screening of one of Gaga's many short films that show during her concert. These films are shown to allow her enough time to change into new costumes offstage.
This particular video was filmed by British photographer Nick Knight. In it, he has Gaga eat a real Bovine heart. The idea behind it was for her to face her fear of losing her father when he underwent heart surgery. It's quite disgusting, really...artistic, kind of genius, but still totally GROSS. Doesn't she look vamptastic?

Yes, that is a gun attached to her chest.

Gaga performing "Paper Gangsta". At the end of the song, all of her dancers climbed onto the chair, and it began to turn. She then wrapped them in a lack ribbon.

I remember seeing the dancer bend down and put his arm between her legs, and I assumed he'd just crotch grab. But then he lifted her straight off the ground. And all I could think was, "ONE ARM!!!" lol! I know she must be light, but still. One arm.
The couple in the middle made their outfit themselves with cut up American flags. They were inspired by Gaga and Beyonce's oufits in the "Telephone" music video. The two girls to the sides were inspired by Gaga's daring taped nipple outfits.
This tour was bigger and better than THE FAME BALL tour, so it only makes sense that her disco stick would be bigger and better too, right? lol. The thing's actually really powerful. It's like a super spotlight. It shines right into the whole crowd. She uses it to take a look at all of the fans in the crowd because her shows are always like Halloween. I'd say about 60-65% of the crowd dresses up in some way for it. And not dresses up as in like wears a nice outfit, I'm talking full out face paint, wigs, and costumes with props. People actually dress up as Gaga herself.
