Lady Gaga – what the heck was that hot mess of performance art?

During a dramatic rendition of “Paparazzi,” Lady G staggered around the stage in her underwear, played a white piano with her left leg atop the keyboard (what, is she trying to kill those hermaphrodite rumors?), doused herself in fake blood and ended the song hanging, suicide-style, from a rope, the fake blood smeared all over her…even inside her eye.

Allrighty.

She’s interesting to watch in that train-wreck way, but she’s no Madonna.
