JohnDeWayne 205 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Does anyone else thing Gaga should start using a backing track? At least during the main chorus of the songs? Loved the JWT live in Tacoma but at times I feel like she struggled to hit notes and came off a little flat. I know she's a great vocalist but dancing and singing simultaneously is no easy feat. There were times in the show that I feel like she could have benefited from a backing track just to make the vocals sound a little clearer and on point. It would seem to me that that would give her a little bit of relief during certain parts of certain songs. This is not to say that she should lipsync but she could definitely sing on top of the backing track. Anyone agree? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lippoutou 4,279 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 She already does no ? I'm giving you your first like tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 25,961 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure she already does on most of the uptempo numbers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJaneHolland 77,348 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 They're perferctly fine on JWT. Much better than on the previous two tours when they were loud af Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustaMonster 4,909 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 No I think the more she uses pre recorded tracks the worse(to an extent). It feels dishonest to me. I go to the concert to hear her sing live Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan Heart 7,382 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I would rather hear her failing to hit a note or two rather then barely hearing her at all tbh. They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeToBAMonster 73 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 They help for harmonies and vocal doubling, but I don't think the main vocals need a backing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDeWayne 205 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks for the kind responses, fellow monsters. This is my first post so I appreciate you all taking it easy on me. I know things can get ugly around here lol! I definitely appreciate that Gaga sings 100% live. Sometimes I just feel like a backing track during certain parts of songs (especially main choruses), really helps the song sound more whole. As I rewatch videos from the JWT I've realized that Gaga does, indeed, use backing tracks during certain songs but they are very, very subtle. At any rate, what a feat singing 100% live while doing intricate choreo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 She did that during the artRAVE and it pissed off a lot of fans and they said she was barely singing and relied too heavily on back tracking....i was one of those fans So my answer is no...
