And even after waiting for hours in the heat, which was finally relieved by rain during the set, the crowd didn't seem disappointed by what their Mother Monster brought them.
Gaga jazzed up Rockefeller Plaza in a sequined, all-white suit and a bra complete with sparkly crosses. She began her set with the standard "Someone to Watch Over Me," and though she was accompanied by a full band, backup singers and dancers, the cover still displayed Gaga's vocal abilities. She then seamlessly segued into "Bad Romance." Sitting at her piano, Gaga said told Meredith Viera hasn't gotten accustomed to being famous yet. "I haven't [gotten used to it], but I love and cherish my fans so much," she said. "I just want to say a big thank you to all of the television and radio and the underground clubs and the gay community for supporting me for the past three years. ... There's certainly things that are difficult to deal with, but the kind of fame that I cherish is the relationship I have with my fans."
When introducing her newest song, she explained the inspiration behind it. " 'You and I' was written about the most important person that I've ever met and all my friends downtown, Lady Starlight and Brian, who's here today playing trumpet, and all my friends, they're so wonderful."
