In a surprise performance at the Monster Ball in Guadalajara, Mexico, Lady Gaga debuted "Americano" acoustically. As far as I understand it (and interpret it), the song is about the injustice seen within issues of immigration, but I think it could be generally applied to the superiority complex of our
great nation. Unfortunately, a sense of entitlement and unrestricted obtrusiveness is an integral part of America's vocabulary. It seems all too appropriate with the grand celebrations following Bin Laden's death and the "
AMERICA!" mentality exercised as a result. The energy of the audience, along with the powerful acoustic sound provides for an electrifying performance.
And I thought I needed a coffee to stay up all night...
Update: The previous video has been blocked due to copyright, so here is another. Visually it's rather insignificant, but the audio is a bit better (though the other video's sense of the crowd was much stronger) and you get the sick ending.
