“‘It’s raining unicorns and gay teddy bears,’ Lady Gaga said Monday at the sold-out United Center as the audience hurled gifts at her,” Greg Kot writes for the Tribune. “Then she bit the heads off several dolls, but allowed a mini-Paul Stanley to live another day and watch the show from the lip of the stage. Kiss, and Kiss-style spectacle, still rules in the Land of Gaga.
“The singer appreciates the circus of performing, and has turned herself into the pop world’s most incisive commentator on its seductions and pitfalls. Every eye-catching moment had a few more layers to it that made this 100-minute performance something more than just a collection of stunts.”

“Lady Gaga brought her Monster Ball Tour to the United Center for a sold-out show Monday night, in the process proving that if she’s not Madonna’s equal as a singer or dancer, she just might rival her as a conceptual pop artist,” Ted Cox writes for the Daily Herald.
