Lady Gaga Was Amazing During Super Bowl 51

Lady Gaga performed during the Super Bowl 51 half time show last night. She did a medley of her greatest hits, soared through the air and dropped the mic in diva fashion - a true rocking performance! If you somehow didn't get to see it live, the video is below. Also, the New England Patriots can bite me.

WOW. Amazing.@ladygaga's #PepsiHalftime Show! 👏#SB51 https://t.co/z9vCKRBKkC

In Honor Of The Super Bowl: A Feature on Don Lawrence

Meet Don Lawrence, Lady Gaga's vocal coach. He's also coached a lot of other famous singers including Axl Rose. Our beloved Sebastian Bach is quoted in the Wall Street Journal article below. As you know, Gaga will perform during the halftime show tonight. I have no doubt that she will slay it. Also, go Falcons!

If You Want To See A Viking Ship...

From my inbox. For fans of Amon Amarth - not Glam but really, really metal. This sounds honestly amazing:

The Viking Ship is coming to Chicago Open Air. When Swedish metal band Amon Amarth takes the stage at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois on Sunday, July 16 in support of their current album, Jomsviking, attendees will be treated to a visual spectacle. The band’s full production plans include the infamous lifesize replica of a Viking ship hull and live Viking fighting! The impressive setup pays homage to the band’s Swedish roots and the Jomsvikings, a shadowy and legendary sect of Viking mercenaries.
