Her speech in this show is just the best I've ever heard. For those who don't know, here it is:"My name is Lady Gaga, And welcome to the last of 5 shows at Madison Square Garden, I feel so blessed to have no idea, grew up 20 blocks from here and look at each name go up in the Marquise year after year, month after month And I used to dream that someday my name would look with lights, so thank you very much for buying a ticket to see my show, and those who did not pay for tickets I want my money back, just kidding. You know I used to not be brave, in fact it was brave, but you have made me brave little monsters and New York made me so now I'll be brave brave for you. Tonight I want to forget all your insecurities like you reject someone or something that is made to feel that does not belong here or do not fit or is made to feel you're not good enough or pretty enough or that you can not sing enough good or that you can not dance or write a song good or you'll never win a Grammy leave or never sell out Madison Square Garden. You just remember that you are a god damn superstar and you were born this way."

I just saw the show on HBO and wow...boy did people get their money's worth! Her performance was excellent, funny and poignant (especially that bit about whether or not she sings live). My favourite moment was when she performed "Speecheless", "You And I" and "Born This Way".Last year I was lucky enough to see Lady Gaga in concert and was most impressed with her. She went beyond what I expected and more than delivered, with a thrilling, engaging and highly enjoyable show! This HBO special was even better, a grand spectacle in line with Gaga's crazy universe, unmistakable talent, her sensuality and sexuality as well as vision and artistry! Great job!
