Lady Gaga,这个让全世界侧目的超级巨星,一直以来,她因为夸张另类的服饰造型和异于常人的行径而被许多人打上怪异甚至离经叛道的标签。对于普罗大众来说,这样的奔放可能无法欣赏,甚至对之反感。我曾经也是这样,直到昨天看到她在麦迪逊广场花园演唱会的即兴演讲的视频,才深刻明白了没有了解,就没有发言权。以下是她演讲的内容(原视频可在优酷查找)
Lady Gaga 恶魔舞会巡演之麦迪逊广场花园演唱会的即兴演讲:
“My name is Lady Gaga, and welcome to the last of 5 shows at Medison Square Garden. I feel so blessed.
You have no idea, I grew up twenty blocks from here, and I wantched every name go up on that monki, year after year, month after month,I used to dream how one day I see my name in lights. So thank you so much, thank you for buying the tickets to see my show. And those of who you didn't pay for your tickets, I want my money back. I'm just kiding.
You know I didn't use to be brave, in fact, I wasn't very brave at all, but you have made me brave, little monsters. And New York made me brave. So now, I gotta be brave for you.
Tonight I want you to forget all of your insecurities, I want you to reject anyone or anything that's ever made you feel like don't belong, or don't fit in, or made you feel don't good enough, or pretty enough, or fit enough, or can't sing well enough, or dance well enough or write a song well enough, or like you'll never won a Grammy or you'll never show up on Medison Square Garden! You just remenber, that you're god damn super star, and you were born this way!
We tonight with your liberation of all those sets, 'cause I used to pick up my leather boots on that street, and I would go down the stairs, to the 9 train,take the 9 train down town, and then get on the L train to go cross town, and I goes to dance class, and I would pray, I would dream that someday one person would believe in me. So when you leave here tonight, know that at least one person believes in you!”
“我是Lady Gaga,欢迎参加麦迪逊广场花园演唱会前五场的演出,我感到非常幸福。你们无法想象,我在距这里二十个街区的地方长大,我一直关注着那块荣誉牌上出现的每个名字。年复一年月复一月,我曾梦想有一天,能看到我的名字在灯牌上出现。非常感谢,谢谢你们买票来看我的演唱会,没有花钱买票的观众们赶紧把钱交出来,开个玩笑而已。我曾是个缺乏勇气的人,事实上我一点都不勇敢,但小恶魔们,是你们让我勇气倍增,纽约同样使我变得勇敢,现在,我要为你们而勇敢。今晚你们要丢弃所有的忐忑与不安,你们要驳斥所有孤立你们认为你们不合适的人或事,或让你觉得自己不够优秀不够美丽身材不够好唱得不够好跳得不够好或是写的歌不够好或是说你永远得不到格莱美奖不可能在麦迪逊广场花园开个唱的人,你只需要记住你他妈的就是超级巨星,你与生俱来!今晚是你冲破这些枷锁的解放之日,因为我过去常在那条街上选购皮靴,我走下楼梯,步行到地铁九号线坐九号线进城,然后换乘L线穿过市区去上跳舞课,我祈祷期盼总有一天有人会相信我,所以当你们今晚离去之时,要知道至少有一人就是我相信你们!”
当她站在璀璨耀眼的舞台上,面对着成千上万观众,哽咽但云淡风轻的语气说着“我在距这里二十个街区的地方长大,我一直关注着那块荣誉牌上出现的每个名字。年复一年月复一月,我曾梦想有一天,能看到我的名字在灯牌上出现。”“我过去常在那条街上选购皮靴,我走下楼梯,步行到地铁九号线坐九号线进城,然后换乘L线穿过市区去上我的舞蹈课,我祈祷期盼总有一天有人会相信我。”那一刻,她身上发着光,这两句话也比任何撕心裂肺的豪言壮语更为打动人心。就是这样平淡的两句话,让人忘记了她的乖张,她的另类,她耀眼的一切,而只是想到曾经那个默默在心里种下梦想,默默埋头为之耕耘的平凡女孩,正如今天的你我一样。如今的鲜花和掌声,全世界有目共睹,可是有谁曾看到她成功成名前的所有艰辛和努力?不管世人如何看她,也不管她有多离经叛道,她的确有实力,她成功了,用自己的汗水和努力实现了心中的梦想。
就是有这样一些人,我们也许不认同,不喜欢,但必须诚实地承认,他们是有过人之处,值得我们佩服的。
没有人在成功前不曾经历痛苦,挣扎,失落,乃至绝望,但,不管在哪个领域,剩者为王。假如我们现在还什么都做不好,那也至少先“剩下来”,踏实做好每一天的事,谁知道呢,也许明天,我们就是那个王。
