Lady Gaga proved her pop star prowess after experiencing mic issues throughout the beginning of her “Mayhem” in the desert showcase for Coachella weekend two. The singer was cut off just one song into her headlining set on Sunday night shortly after starting “Abracadabra” with a faulty head mic.
Before descending towards center stage, Gaga slyly exchanged the broken equipment for a regular handheld mic. She then continued through elaborate choreography without issue and with a cane in the other hand. She didn’t miss a beat, and it took less than a few minutes for the head mic to reappear without issue for the remainder of the set.
Gaga apologized for the malfunction later in her set, telling festival-goers “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second… at least you know sing live. I guess all we can do is our best and I’m certainly giving you my best tonight.”
In a review, Variety‘s Chris Willman wrote of the weekend one performance, “The biggest difference between Gaga and some of the other performers at Coachella almost goes without saying: live singing.
Between the Go-Go’s wonderfully raw performance earlier in the day and Lady Gaga’s set, you could catch a lot of Memorex performances, switching YouTube channels in search of somebody putting a real voice on the line. You could pretty much anticipate that Gaga would not be miming (or at least not often), but it was still a pleasure to hear her lightly panting into the mic now and again, as if we needed proof she was delivering the goods al fresco.”
Creative directed in part with choreographer Parris Goebel, Gaga’s Coachella weekend two performance remained largely the same as weekend one. Gaga will bring “Mayhem” on the road with tour dates across North America, Europe and the U.K. set to kick off in July. This lineup also includes shows in Mexico, Brazil and Singapore.
