END CONCERT. LIGHTS ON, NO ENCORE. [Comment: only in regard to the Lady Gaga portion, I must say I was encouraged by her reference to Jesus Christ, & the "HIM" letters on stage throughout, as well as the Christmas Tree with star. There's still hope. I always suspected Lady Gaga is still a  believer beneath all the hype. I hope the various secular influences don't pull her away].
