Lady Gaga's 2nd Speech/ Sacramento 3/23/11

I have my own video of this speech, but this video is better than mine. Madonna isn't that comfortable with off-the-cuff speech making, but Lady Gaga thrives on it.

Lady Gaga starts with a reminiscence of having played Arco Arena several years ago when touring as the opening act for New Kids On The Block. She describes having to adapt to the narrowness of her dancing stage once her precious LED walls were erected (at her insistence). She talks about the success of "Born This Way" and what it signifies. I am amazed at the way her bravery pep talk starts quietly at about 2:30 and ramps up over the next minute to a feral scream. Then, as she prepares a segue into the next song, she amusingly discusses Arco Arena again.
