Lady Gaga shows off NY pride in Roseland ‘funeral’

Quote:
Say what you want about Lady Gaga (and we all have at some point), but her hometown pride has always been locked in place throughout her ups and downs.
On Friday night at Roseland Ballroom, that was underlined once again as the born-and-bred New Yorker paid tribute to the closing venue, the city and, of course, herself during the first night of a seven-date farewell.
“Who has a 10-day funeral? Only Roseland,” she declared early on and it was a statement spoken like a true New Yorker.
After almost 100 years, it’s only right that the venue be given an honorable — and fabulous — discharge. So it was fitting to see Gaga begin the night with a solo rendition of “Born This Way,” adapted to include a declaration of love to the weathered West 52nd Street building.
