Opening night of the tour Friday, November 27 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada
As reported by T'Cha Dunlevy at the Gazette / Canada.com
Things got off to a slow start; the fashion icon was fashionably late. Cheers erupted when the lights finally dropped just before 10 p.m.
She wasn’t ready to come out just yet. A giant screen lit up with a futuristic, glowing green grid. Gaga finally appeared, striking an awkward pose, blond locks cascading over her shoulders, a shimmering mask around her eyes.
She opened with a new song, Dance In the Dark, off her new album The Fame Monster, before following with a string of hits off last year’s The Fame.
Lo and behold, Kid Cudi finally appeared, dropping an engaging freestyle. A vibe was taking hold. She dedicated the heartfelt ballad Speechless to her dad, who was in the audience.

Yes, Lady Gaga is a sexually-charged performer with a major nod to Madonna, to whom she is most often compared, and physically resembles in a live setting.
As she got out of her ecto-skeleton outfit, she grabbed her breasts and stripped down to a silver bodysuit for another Fame Monster song, Alejandro, which saw her being carried by her crotch by one of her male dancers and lowered onto another male dancer.
Later in the show, she declared: "Everytime you scream my name, I get a teeny, tiny, mini-orgasm."
And she made a point of spreading her legs while stradling a white dentist chair during Paper Gangsta.

Sunday, November 29 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Canada
As reported by Aedan Helmer at the Ottawa Sun
Lady Gaga oozed sexuality, channelling her obvious hero Madonna as dancers grooved and groped alongside the bleached blonde diva.
“I’m about to be very wicked,” she promised.
Then, lying prone at centre stage, her legs splayed in the air, she cooed, “I’m kinda like Tinkerbell.
“When Tinkerbell died, the only way to bring her back to life was if you come for her,” she said, feigning orgasm. “Scream for me Ottawa!”
The tender ballad Speechless gave way to a teasing, barely recognizable solo piano rendering of her name-making hit Poker Face, featuring an appearance from opening act Kid Cudi, who spliced his own Make Her Say in the mix as Gaga crooned.
