What You Missed In Music: The Weeknd, Lady Gaga & Kristen Stewart
Catch up on some of the week's best music stories here!
Lady Gaga Played A Special Christmas Gig On A London Rooftop
Lady Gaga does whatever she bloody well wants. This is a fact. A Planet Earth fact. Protest against Donald Trump outside Trump Tower while standing on a sanitation truck? She did it. (Good on her, but we have no idea where she got that sanitation truck.
Tour her new album Joanne across a load of tiny dive bars in the states to approximately 18 people? She did that too.
So it comes as no surprise at all that Gaga played her latest gig – not in a gig venue - but on top of a rooftop in London. 100 lucky fans were in attendance, and they were treated to a series of stripped back, acoustic renditions of ‘Bad Romance’ and new single ‘Million Reasons’.
Pressure's taking its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion
I don't need eyes to see
I felt you touching me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you're just a dream
That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm waking up
I still feel the blow
But at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (but I feel you watching me)
(Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (but I feel you watching me)
(But I feel you watching me)
Illusion (but I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
(But I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love (dilated, falling free)
(In a modern ecstasy)
Mistaken for love (in a modern ecstasy)
(In a modern ecstasy)
I'm over the show
Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion
Oh, it was a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
You were so perfect
You were a, you were a perfect illusion
“I love my London and UK fans so much, and performing my new music for them in such an intimate and spectacular location was the perfect way to celebrate the holidays,” Gaga said.
In other Lady Gaga news, the ‘Perfect Illusion’ singer will be performing on The X Factor on Sunday night.

P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt you, ah
All red Lamb' just to tease you, ah
None of these toys on lease too, ah
Made your whole year in a week too, yah
Main bitch out your league too, ah
Side bitch out of your league too, ah
House so empty, need a centerpiece
Twenty racks a table, carved from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking 'bout me, I don't see a shade
Switch out my side, I'll take any lane
I switch out my car if I kill any pain
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Every day a nigga try to test me, ah
Every day a nigga try to end me, ah
Pull off in that Roadster SV, ah
Pockets overweight, getting hefty, ah
Coming for the king, that's a far cry, I
I come alive in the fall time, I
The competition, I don't ever listen
I'm in the blue moon song bumping New Edition
House so empty, need a centerpiece
Twenty racks a table, carved from ebony
Cut that ivory to skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face but I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking 'bout me, I don't see a shade
Switch out my side, I'll take any lane
I switch out my car if I kill any pain
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Let a nigga Brad Pitt
Legend of the fall took the year like a bandit
By my ma a crib and a brand new wagon
Now she hit the grocery shop looking lavish
Star Trek groove in that Wraith of Khan
Girls get loose when they hear this song
100 on the dash get me close to God
We don't pray for love, we just pray for cars
House so empty, need a centerpiece
Twenty racks a table, carved from ebony
Cut that ivory to skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face but I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking 'bout me, I don't see a shade
Switch out my side, I'll take any lane
I switch out my car if I kill any pain
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
Look what you've done
I'm a motherfucking Starboy
