Among other aspects that contributed to the decrease
Lady Gaga debuted a R&B-tinged love song Saturday as she headlined the Coachella festival www.teamleafsshop.com/adidas_ben_smith_leafs_jersey/ , where the pop diva cast herself as sensual rather than sensational.
The first woman in a decade to top the lineup at the premier music event, Lady Gaga unleashed an action-packed spectacle of acrobatic choreography that culminated in confetti, fireballs and fireworks on her dance anthem "Bad Romance."
Gaga seized upon the spotlight to introduce a new song, "The Cure," that is built off an unadorned R&B rhythm before rising into a pop chorus with the lines www.teamleafsshop.com/adidas_auston_matthews_leafs_jersey/ , "If I can't find the cure, I'll fix you with my love."
She released the song commercially as she left Coachella in the California desert, marking her first new music since her latest album Joanne came out in October.
Coachella offered a preview of the global tour the pop superstar will launch in August for Joanne, an album that brought a more classic pop and even country sound to the 31-year-old artist long associated with synthpop.
Gaga made clear at Coachella that her old spirit remained undiminished. On "John Wayne," one of her most country-driven songs in which she admits an attraction to rugged masculinity www.teamleafsshop.com/adidas_andreas_borgman_leafs_jersey/ , Gaga paradoxically sang astride a human pyramid of her sweaty, topless and ethnically diverse crew of male dancers.
Sensuality oozed throughout Gaga's set. She beckoned one dancer by grabbing his jeans in the waist, as both male and female dancers rubbed her leotard-clad body seductively.
"Have you all found someone you want to sleep with yet?" she teasingly asked the 100,000-strong crowd, most of them young and many of them clad only in the bare minimum of clothing after a long day in the sun.
Yet for a singer once talked about as much for her outrageous outfits as her songs www.teamleafsshop.com/hats , she stepped back and put the emphasis on her music - giving herself space to show off her glowing, rich voice on tracks such as "The Edge of Glory."
Her biggest fashion message may have come as she played piano. She struggled to take off her sweater mid-song, in an endearing display of authenticity.
Surprise guests
Lady Gaga played her first Coachella after original headliner Beyonce canceled on doctors' orders as she expects twins.
One of the most lucrative events on the global cultural calendar, Coachella takes place over back-to-back three-day weekends with identical performance lineups.
In a Coachella hallmark, Saturday saw a slew of surprise performers.
The rapper Future www.teamleafsshop.com/t_shirts , who recently made history with back-to-back albums debuting at No.1 on the US chart, drew cheers when he brought to stage Migos, the Atlanta trio behind the hit "Bad and Boujee."
But an even bigger name soon came on - rap superstar Drake, a sometime collaborator with Future, who turned the crowd into a sea of waving arms as he performed his hit "Fake Love."
Migos then crossed the lawn to make a cameo with DJ Snake www.teamleafsshop.com/hoodie , the successful but largely behind-the-scenes force behind mega-hits such as "Lean On."
The French DJ pulled off a second surprise as Lauryn Hill walked on, singing the Fugees emblematic song "Killing Me Softly."
Non-Gaga fashion
Bon Iver, once a crowd favorite with indie folk tunes such as "Skinny Love," brought to stage the band's turn into deep experimentation in a set of loop effects and references to numerological riddles from its latest album, 22 www.teamleafsshop.com/customized , A Million.
Frontman Justin Vernon performed in headphones at a soundboard but by the end of the set brought the crowd into a frenzy as he knelt before his sound pedals and clamped aggressively onto his electric guitar's bridge as abstract images flashed on screen.
While Lady Gaga toned down her outfits, one artist who embraced costumes was Roisin Murphy. The Irish trip-hop singer took the stage with her face covered by a mask made of interjoined dolls and later carried over her head a faceless, zebra-colored dummy.
If Coachella handed out fashion awards, one could also go to frontman Will Toledo of indie band Car Seat Headrest.
The 24-year-old Toledo, long pictured as a scraggly younger www.teamleafsshop.com/ , donned a tight, sky-blue suit with a black shirt and neck.
CANBERRA, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Australian rugby fans have expressed their disappointment at a decision by Rugby World Cup organizers to schedule the start of the final at unsociable times for southern hemisphere viewers.
The final, featuring both Australia and New Zealand, is scheduled to begin at 4pm GMT on Saturday - or 3am Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) on Sunday morning - with organizers on Thursday citing "operational reasons" for the mid-afternoon start.
But Australian fans have taken their dismay to social media and beyond www.teamleafsshop.com/adidas_zach_hyman_leafs_jersey/ , with one upset fan creating an online petition to convince organizers to cater to the massive potential audience on the other side of the world.
The petition slams the start time, saying that as the two competing teams, fans in both New Zealand and Australia have been forgotten.
"The Wallabies are playing the All Blacks in the World Cup Final but the kick off will be at 3am AEDT," the Change.org petition reads.
"After weeks of little sleep with games in the middle of the night, it's only fair the governing body listen to the rugby global powerhouse of the southern hemisphere and push it back to a more suitable viewing time for fans of the competing teams."
Australia's east coast is home to its three largest cities in Sydney www.teamleafsshop.com/adidas_william_nylander_leafs_jersey/ , Melbourne and Brisbane, and all of those have a significant rugby union following.
Meanwhile All Blacks fans in New Zealand will have to wake up at 5am to see their team play, while the match will begin at midnight for Australian fans on the west coast.
England Rugby has defended its decision, saying that due to the poss.
