Experiencing Lady Gaga's piano version of "Edge of Glory"
Until "A Million
Reasons," Lady Gaga's collection of
songs were much more club-worthy than tear-jerking. When she played "Edge
of Glory" at Coachella, though, she opted for a piano version that made both
her powerful vocals and the song's emotional lyrics really shine, and all you
could do was cry (well, at least that's what happened to me...). Her whole set
was a journey through all that is Gaga, from the dancing to the sequins to the
all-or-nothing performance, but her piano medley was the biggest reminder that
Gaga has one of the most dynamic voices in pop music today -- and there was
just something about hearing that voice sing a typically upbeat track with only
a piano behind it.
Kendrick Lamar channeling Kung Fu Kenny
The word
"dull" could never be associated with the always daring Kendrick
Lamar and his headlining set at Coachella, three days following the release of
his album DAMN., was
the antithesis of snooze fest. Not only was his set perhaps the most visually
stunning of the headlining acts (at one point, he performed in an illuminated
cage while he rapped in front of a fiery display at another), Lamar and his TDE
label delivered a martial arts film starring his alter ego, Kung Fu Kenny, that
ended on the appropriate note: a sample of Boris
Gardiner’s “Every N---er is a Star,” which appeared on K.Dot's
"Wesley's Theory" off To Pimp a Butterfly.
