Celebrities do a lot of random things for clout, this isn’t new. But, because of this fact, we have some incredible footage of famous people performing in places they really shouldn’t be in. As a result, I have taken it upon myself to compile all the best moments that pop queens have performed in places that are less than acceptable. Let’s begin.
Lady Gaga In An IKEA Carpark
Look, we all love a trip to IKEA, but we can’t say we like to spend much time in the carpark. Evidently Lady Gaga isn’t with us on this one, given this shockingly low-budget performance for an American radio station. Who would have thought this would eventually become a Grammy and Oscar award winner, love that for her! We’re just glad these mic issues were fixed up for Enigma Vegas residency.
Speaking of Lady Gaga, we spoke about ARTPOP on this episode of It’s Been A Big Day For…
Little Mix In A McDonalds
Little Mix are one of the most successful girl groups of all time, which makes this video extra hilarious. The foursome take over a regular McDonalds restaurant, flashing on the self-serve screens before delivering an iconic vocal performance on the counter-top. No, you can’t make this stuff up, you have to see it for yourself. We can imagine how slippery the floors would have been for the back-up dancers behind the counter.
Halsey In An American Mall
Now, I’m going to assume this is before Halsey became famous, because it looks as if Halsey’s team have tried to take footage of this performance down (according to the description). This clip showcases a very young Halsey singing acapella in the middle of an American mall. So, if you’ve ever wondered what Blink 182 would sound like directly out of Halsey’s mouth, wonder no more!
Ke$ha On A Train In Tokyo
Now, this clip is truly bizarre, mainly because it looks as if there were no Kesha fans in sight. As she belts out (albeit, impressively) the high notes in her hit ‘Die Young’, she stuns random passengers around her, but they don’t look happy. To make matters worse, she leaves the train to finish the chorus leaning against a pole, in a very strange sequence of events.
Rosalia At A Talent Show
In the past year, Rosalia has become a cultural icon. She is currently at the forefront of Latina music, pushing the genre into new territories with each and every single. As a result, it was shocking to see a young-Rosalia perform JoJo’s 2004 hit, ‘Leave (Get Out)’ on this talent show. At least the off-key moments have been rectified with her own music.
