The Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony had its fair share of drama on Friday night, particularly around Lady Gaga’s much-anticipated performance.
The 38-year-old pop icon, dressed in a striking black leotard adorned with white feathers, took to the stage to deliver her rendition of “Mon Truc en Plumes.” While she looked spectacular, the performance didn’t quite hit the mark for many viewers.
Unfortunately for Lady Gaga, her set was marred by technical issues.
Fans took to social media, especially X (formerly known as Twitter), to express their disappointment. Comments ranged from critiques about the audio quality to playful jabs about her French language skills. One user quipped, “Great performance from Lady Gaga.
Shame the French forgot to do a sound check beforehand,” while another lamented, “Lady Gaga ain’t even French.
This is like if Bad Bunny performed in Colombia.” The criticisms were mixed with some fans feeling that her performance was overshadowed by the technical difficulties and the unique setting of the stage.
Despite the negative feedback, there were plenty of fans who were thrilled with Gaga’s performance. Supporters praised her for her energy and talent, with one fan writing, “Lady Gaga is sensational in the Olympic opening ceremony.
Wow!!!!!” Another expressed their appreciation, saying, “It was outstanding! Thank You so much @ladygaga.
You honored us for sure! Loved the passion and all the hard work.”
The Spectacular Setting and Ceremony Highlights
Lady Gaga’s performance was just one part of a grand spectacle. The event featured a dramatic start with a gold staircase and feather-clad dancers, leading into her captivating Folies Bergère-style cabaret act.
Gaga’s show included a beautiful moment where she played the piano, showcasing her versatility.
The ceremony also included a touching moment with French football legend Zinedine Zidane carrying the Olympic torch, followed by a vibrant Can-can dance performance.
Crowds lined the banks of the River Seine, and athletes arrived on a flotilla of boats, adding to the grandeur of the event.
Challenges and High Hopes
The Opening Ceremony was not without its challenges. Earlier in the day, France’s rail network was disrupted by a significant arson attack, causing travel chaos for both spectators and athletes.
Eurostar trains faced delays and cancellations, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had to travel by plane to attend the event.
Despite these hurdles, the organizers and the audience remain hopeful that the rest of the ceremony will proceed smoothly.
With Lady Gaga set to return to the stage alongside Celine Dion, and the ceremony being broadcast to over a billion viewers, there’s still plenty to look forward to.
