Now all we need is Madonna to cover it, seeing that she's a little pissed of with lady GaGa for stealing her thunder.

I went to the last show of Lady Gaga's tour with my daughter and one of her friends, I went with the intention to wait for them on the bar but on the contrary, I watched the whole show in awe, I attended with a wrong prejudice and returned with a very good impression of the Gaga... btw... she composed the music and the lyrics, she sings pretty good, plays guitar, piano and dance like a bizarre queen, fantastic Gaga >>> Madonna |

For sure, Ga Ga is ten times more talented then Madonna, Madonna Lip-syncs to her songs on stage, I don't know about now, maybe she can't get away with it now, but in the 80's/90's she was doing that all the time, explaining "I do so much dancing on stage that I'm out of breath, so the vocals are lip-synched, so what"

WE'RE NOT WORTHY: ALICE COOPER SLAYS BONNAROO WITH GAGA COVER
The original shock rocker and his razor-sharp five-piece band bring a darker sound to Bonnaroo BY WILLIAM GOODMAN Early Sunday morning, after a long and music-stuffed Saturday at Bonnaroo, I had a Wayne's World moment: I walked through the lobby of my hotel and into the elevator, where I found myself standing next to THE Alice Cooper. I almost dropped to my knees to praise his Rock Holiness, chanting "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy," just like the famous scene from Mike Myers' titular 1992 comedy. Instead I said, "Great show, man." He replied, leaning against the elevator wall, "Thanks man. I burned a lot of calories tonight. It was fun." How would've Wayne Campbell or Garth Algar reacted to that? "Psssssssschhhhha"? Or perhaps, "Exsqueeze me?" Either way, he was right: Cooper, now 64, stomped all over That Stage during his nearly two-hour-long performance. It was a total shock rock spectacle with props, including a guillotine and 15-foot-tall frankenstein, and cover of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," and it sounded absolutely great. Cooper's five-piece band of tattooed metal/hard rock heads was razor-sharp, especially guitarist Orianthi (who played with Michael Jackson). When she soloed a fan blew her long blond hair around her mad-hatter top hat—it looked like a lost Guns N' Roses music video. I arrived to the show during a long, long drum solo (Wayne would've loved that), followed by a four-gun salute with all four guitarists at the edge of the stage, in hip lock solo stance, aligning the necks of their axes like fighter jets ascending into the sky, then wailing. Cooper ran onstage screaming, "I'll cut your face off!" while dragging around, dancing with and occasionally humping a dismembered mannequin. Welcome to Alice's World. Alice's World is also the only place at Bonnaroo where you'll see lighters, not cellphones or glowsticks, held high during torch songs like "Only Women Bleed," which found Cooper again slow dancing with his lady love. And perhaps the most fun I've had during Bonnaroo 2012, came during his classic rocker "Feed My Frankenstein." With his guitarists all handling backup vocals, too, the song sounded strong and full. Cooper slipped backstage and returned in a 15-foot-tall frankenstein costume (made in his likeness) that was sort of hilarious as it wobbled across the stage. Later, between songs, the horror continued with Cooper chopping off a doll's head with a huge guillotine. He then handed the decapitated head to the crowd as a sacrifice. Rock! The undeniable highlights came during the set's final 15 minutes. During "Elect Me," stagehands dressed up as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney punched it out. Then the opening chords of "School's Out," Cooper's most popular song, rang out and the (shamefully) small audience lost it. Big colorful balloons were dropped on the pit and Cooper, now wearing an extra big mad-hatter top hat, stormed the stage armed with a sword. He stabbed the balloons which exploded in confetti. He closed out the set with a relatively true-to-form cover of Lady Gaga's freak anthem "Born This Way." They had the dance beats and riffs down, and the subject matter was certainly apropos for Cooper, who over four decades has helped mold heavy metal with his signature style. He's a wildly influential artist with an indelible imprint on the rock world. Fittingly, after the Cooper's set, as I walked across the festival grounds towards Skrillex's pulsing bass, all I could think was, "Party time. Excellent." http://www.fuse.tv/2012/06/bonnaroo-2012-we-re-not-worthy-alice-cooper-slays-bonnaroo |

Alice Cooper I've seen lots of times when they were the original band in Toronto, used to play here a lot in the early days before they got popular, I much prefer the original band, Alice as a solo act I've never gotten into, all the songs I like are from the original band era, he's still going strong which is great, good to he's still around, the band made their first notorious act in '69 in Toronto at the rock & Roll Revival at varsity Stadium when at the end of their act he used to open pillow cases & let the feathers fly & one of the band used compressed air to blow it around, only somebody threw a chicken on the stage, the rest we all know, but the strange thing about it all is the people who killed the chicken were handicap people in wheel chairs that had the first few rows to themselves.
Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDFFzZRIcQI |
