The Paris Olympics opening ceremony has ended, receiving mixed reviews. This year's opening ceremony was not held in the stadium but was held along the 6km Seine River, passing through many beautiful locations in Paris. Lady Gaga was chosen as the opening artist. The performance of the American singer was highly anticipated by many audiences. She chose to perform Mon truc en plumes - a famous French song associated with the female artist considered a "monument" of French music Zizi Jeanmaire.
Lady Gaga's song has a musical feel. The stage has two main colors, pink and black, with male dancers waving giant pink feather fans. The staging is said to be quite similar to the performance of veteran star Zizi Jeanmaire in her heyday. Zizi Jeanmaire is a famous artist and her musical performances are familiar to French audiences. However, for many international audiences, this staging is considered strange. Therefore, Lady Gaga's performance became the focus of public discussion.
Some audiences admitted that they did not understand Lady Gaga's performance, especially when this was the performance chosen to open a big event like the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Some comments said that the musical genre was quite new to Lady Gaga herself, so the American singer did not perform her best. In addition to her solo performance, Lady Gaga also had a joint performance with famous singer Celine Dion at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Immediately after the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Lady Gaga posted a heartfelt letter on her personal page.
The famous singer admitted that she was very happy and honored to perform the opening act at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She wrote: "The Olympics required a special French song - a song that honors the French people and their great history of art, music and theater. This song is performed by Zizi Jeanmaire - a French ballerina born in Paris. She sang the famous Mon Truc en Plumes in 1961. The title of the song means My Thing with Feathers. And this is not the first time Zizi and I have "met".
Zizi starred in Cole Porter's musical Anything Goes and this is the first jazz work I have released. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection to the French people and singing French music. I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that could warm the hearts of the French people, honoring French art and music." The famous singer revealed that the Organizing Committee of the opening ceremony rented feather balls from the archives of Le Lido (a famous French theater) and designed costumes specifically for the event.
She also said that she worked hard to learn French choreography to be able to bring a performance that was truly French. "I hope you enjoy this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing, to honor you - it is a gift I will never forget," Lady Gaga wrote. The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics includes a parade of national teams and performances by French and international artists interspersed with the parades.
Lady Gaga is a famous American singer. With a talent and passion for singing since childhood, she has participated in performing at art shows since the age of 14. At the age of 19, Lady Gaga dropped out of college to pursue her musical dreams. She sent her recordings to producers in search of opportunities. However, Lady Gaga's music was rejected because of its rebellious music, which was considered unsuitable for the majority of audiences. Finally, music producer Rob Fusari saw Lady Gaga's uniqueness and signed her. Her debut dance song Just Dance on the album The Fame released in 2008 made Lady Gaga a new star in the world music scene.
The success of The Fame set the stage for Lady Gaga to become one of the most influential artists in the following years. Over the past decade, she has released a total of 6 albums, dozens of singles, and her music products have been enthusiastically received by critics and the public. Lady Gaga won 6 prestigious Grammy Awards and hundreds of large and small awards. In 2015, Billboard magazine awarded Lady Gaga the title of Woman of the Year in the Women in Music poll.
In addition to her unique music, Lady Gaga is also famous for her unusual fashion style. However, in recent years, Lady Gaga has had a big change in her performance and dressing style. She has turned to jazz music and has also become more seductive and feminine. Although Lady Gaga is no longer as rebellious as before, her appearance at every event brings many surprises. In particular, her attempt in the film industry has also made the audience curious. In 2018, she had a successful performance in the musical film A Star Is Born alongside actor Bradley Cooper. The Guardian newspaper gave the film a perfect score of 5/5 and called it "extremely easy to watch and enjoyable" with "a brilliant Lady Gaga performance".
