When In Manila, the newest venue for the biggest concerts just opened their virgin gates to the Mother Monster and her thousands of Little Filipino Monsters!

Lady Gaga had a jam packed stadium that isn’t even 100% finished yet. The SM Mall of Asia Arena (MOA Arena), said to have a seating capacity of 16,000 and a full house capacity of 20,000 (when the mosh pit area / floor is open like for concerts), welcomed Lady Gaga with open arms!

The Lady Gaga Manila Concert did not disappoint those looking for extravagant performances, crazy sets and even more outrageous special effects. The night began with Lady Gaga wearing a Sigourney-Weaver-type-Alien looking armor while riding a man powered horse (which actually looked like a real horse at first glance).

 After which, another entrance with Lady Gaga now bearing more of herself coming out of a makeshift vagina of a giant pregnant woman. You really had to be there to fully understand what I’m talking about… but I got this video below that might help a bit…

In between the music and “Gaganess,” Lady Gaga seemingly shed some tears while mentioning the protests against her.

 

Lady Gaga Cries while talking about Manila Protests

 

 

Lady Gaga cried while trying to explain how she’s simply trying to be herself, a non-conformist rebel who fights for what she believes in. Gaga added that the main difference between rebels and others is that rebels fight for what they believe in while others simply complain about what they don’t like.

 

According to Lady Gaga, the night was not about sending a message, nor was it about her, nor was it about music; Gaga says that the night was simply about acceptance.

 

It was all good vibes from then on.
