Lady Gaga promises Indian fans a "unique performance"
Pop star Lady Gaga has promised Indian fans a “unique performance” at this weekend's inaugural Formula One race here today.
She said she had a deep interest in famed Indian guru Osho, who died in 1990, and that her first performance in the country, scheduled after the F1 race, would showcase “a hybrid of my vision and the vision of India.”
“I am, I guess, an Indian hippie,” she said wearing a giant beehive hairdo in the colours of Indian national flag at a press conference covered live by television news channels on Friday.
The pop star, who is as famous for her head-turning costumes as her music, said on her arrival here that she would be incorporating Indian DJs into her performance at the newly-built racetrack in Greater Noida outside Delhi.
Lady Gaga's concert is one of a series of glitzy after-race parties. The singer's efforts to tap the lucrative South Asian market have seen her release Bollywood-style remixes of hit singles such as “Just Dance”, “Born This Way” and “Judas”.
“For me, my experience of music and my relationship with music are as experimental as possible,” she said, promising Indian fans a spectacle that would be “unique for India.”
Lady Gaga said she had been “dying” to visit India.
