Lady Gaga and the opening of the Olympic Games in 2024.
Rumors have been circulating for a few days and have been confirmed: Lady Gaga performed in the heart of Paris for the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games. For the occasion, the diva pulled out all the stops.
With a light burlesque performance, Lady Gaga paid tribute to Zizi Jeanmayeur, the legendary figure of French music hall who died on 17 July 2020. The dancer rose to fame in the 1960s with her famous performance in the show La Revue, where she first performed her famous song "Mon Truc en Plumes". This song quickly entered the pantheon of French music with its frivolous tone and lively percussion. So paying tribute to this moment in history could have been a tall task for Lady Gaga. But that was without taking into account the immense talent of the New York diva, who is not the first: she has already impressed audiences with her cover of the song "La vie en rose" in the film A Star Is Born (2018). Therefore, meeting the demands of Thomas Jolie, the director of the ceremony, who wanted a performance only in French, was a formality for the American icon.
To perform Zizi Jeanmayeur's hit, Lady Gaga offers a production worthy of the greatest Parisian cabarets. A veritable song and dance performance, the singer first descended an enormous golden staircase dressed in a Dior look, before greeting the audience, exclaiming, "Bonsoir! Welcome to Paris! Lady Gaga pulled out all the stops, including a brief piano-vocal interlude revealing the full extent of her vocal capabilities. It was a whimsically burlesque performance in the singer's own image, a modern tribute to the famous showgirl whose famous song has stood the test of time and become one of the standards of French music.
