whore 11,440 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I actually love the concert now that you've interpreted it this way. I thought the whole thing was just ugly and cheesy, but seeing it as a satire makes it one of her best moves actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's so pissed that she devoted an entire world tour to sh*tting on her own image and upsetting the management she distanced herself from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TittyGlitterDance 463 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Loved the tour anyway but if those thoughts are really behind it, and she actually intended that, then I love it even more. Especially the whole "now performing" at the beginning and the "her hit single" BR part - it never made as much sense to me as it does now.

Sneaky Oliver 20,096 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Well I always see the "Now performing" type of lines as PetGa giving us instructions about the show like she does in the app. She appears in the screens before the main show and talks about the opening acts as well. She speaks before Partynauseous and MJH too I’m on my Legacy Act era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue wig 322 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I agree. But... umm... *takes deep breath* #JUSTICEFORRAVEGIRLOUTFIT Spoiler Am I the only one who loved that look? it's just so fun and cute and happy! And it fits perfectly the "colour overload" aesthetic that permeates the whole show!  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,081 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The concert in Buffalo was much different than what you describe. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeo 2,366 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Idk... it's a good view, but I don't think it was something she really thought lol. The introduction ("Now performing, Lady Gaga!" "It's a good time... to light up! Mary...Jane...Holland..." "Now performing her hit single, Bad Romance!") It sounded more like a whole Rave concept with performers. It had the opening acts and Gaga but it was just like a giant Rave... The Bad Romance outfit was like the heart of the concert. It's straigh out of Japanese culture of Raving and stuff... It was a conceptual piece, even tho there was no "storyline", artRAVE was created to be a real Rave...Or a pop concert covered as a Rave, tributing ARTPOP   But it's an amazing interpretation, I like it  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter 14 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I feel like she was expressing herself about how the way the ARTPOP era was treated and was glad it was over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miracle 14,068 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 2 hours ago, JohnnyVersace said: I was recently watching the ArtRave in Paris, and it dawned on me that the entire show is essentially a giant "**** you" to her former management, and a satire of her career. Take the opening for instance: "Now performing...Lady Gaga!" (5:20min.) It's dripping with cheesiness, spoken in a bubbly voice while "free my mind" is spoken repeatedly. The music of ARTPOP is dark, edgy, and overtly-electro, yet she presents herself in a typical bubblegum pop fashion, essentially mocking the "Lady Gaga" persona. She needs no introduction, we know who's performing. Yet she sets the show up signaling us that a massive, marketed pop star is about to arrive. Further into the show, she covers herself in bar chairs during MJH, and even crawls and oinks on stage like a pig during Swine. The cherry on top is her rendition of Bad Romance. "Now performing her hit single: Bad Romance!" (1:52:29) She dons perhaps the foulest costume she's ever worn, puts on the clunkiest shoes she could find, and performs her biggest hit in the most garish way. The imagery of Bad Romance is out the f*cking window, and she's doing whatever the hell she wants. She's essentially flipping off her haters, her management, and the industry, and letting her anger and rage take over. My point is that nothing is really glamorized in the show (other than Gypsy) in the way she used to during TFB and TBTWB. She's presenting her artistry in a fashion that overtly pokes fun at herself and would undoubtedly piss off people who wanted to control her image. Thoughts? Video below. Scroll to the timestamps above to hear the sound bits.   Have we heard the same ARTPOP? Have we gone to the same show? ARTPOP is not dark at all (it may be her lightest album, even more than Joanne) and the show meant to be a rave  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
