Allison M 357 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Did she invite anyone backstage last night or take any gifts from the crowd? I think fans threw gifts to her but she didnt invite anyone backstage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
britneylopez99 0 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think this tour looks like a BLAST, a giant party... not an actual rave but rave inspired. She actually tweeted this tour would be like that so idk why all the drama, can't wait to see her in Toronto! Toronto eh, see ya there ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberARTPOP 74 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I was there last night, and the show was amazing. It's true that there wasn't a lot of theatrics, but her performances were still great and everyone around me was having a blast. Not to mention that her vocals totally blew me away. Just because the show doesn't have any huge elaborate props doesn't make it any less amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaMyBlood95 9,808 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I love the costumes! But I'm disappointed she didn't perform Scheisse!!! Now I'll never get to see it live!!!!!! :cry: I mean, she didn't perform TEOG nor Judas! So, there was no way she was gonna perform Scheisse :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaanBTW 5,223 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Some people are too dramatic. As Gaga said it before, this is not a brain surgery, just POP MUSIC. Listen, dance, celebrate and have fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat 6,162 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I find it a little short tbh. 19 songs with like 2 medleys that conclude like 5 songs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 24,456 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) thats even longer than this one tho. This didnt even hit 1 hour and 30 mins. Still... what I wanted to say is that the first BTWBall was fairly short compared to the latest ones, that would easily reach the 2 h 15 min mark. My point was that shows always tend to get longer as the artist gets used to the routines and finds his or her marks.

SKANK 14,288 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) It's strange to me that the "it factor" she is able to achieve in short form performances (like leaving a hotel, sleeping in a bottle, or an award show performance) doesn't really translate into her tours. From the videos and pictures I have seen of last nights performances the show looked pretty uninspired. But of course I wasn't in the audience, it might have been an incredible experience.

EarnYourLeather 231 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) My experience started out with going to Fort Lauderdale the night before and renting a room. I suggest this if you're going to line up the next morning. My partner and I ended up being at the BB&T arena at 10 AM sharp. There were about fifty monsters in the GA line and about twenty or so in the early admission line. It was rather breezy and quite comfortable. Everyone there was super nice, and my partner of five years (who isn't a monster) was impressed by the sense of community the monsters showed. There were people expressing themselves through clothing, people handing out free supplies to monsters like water and sun tan lotion, and people just enjoying being in a nonjudgmental environment. The BB&T employees were having fun with us, too! At about two or three, there were easily a 200 monsters behind us and about 75 monsters in the early admission line. When four came around, the BB&T arena staff told us we had to put our chairs and umbrellas in the car. By the time the gate opened for the early admission people at five, that fun nonjudgemental environment turned into complete hell. There were no barriers or queues developed by the arena staff. It was pure chaos. People who showed up at 5 PM easily scooted into the non-existant because there was no organization at the front gate! When they decided to let the GA people in, it literally was every man for himself. People were shoving like mad men and at one point, the crowd was pushing so hard that the whole crowd itself was about to tip over! Push and shove! Push and shove! It was absolutely terrifying. It was really poor management on the arena's part, and I truly hope your arena handles the situation better. This was by no means reflective of Gaga's concert itself. Once we got to the arena, all of the monsters who pushed their way through to the front of the "line" outside, rushed to the front stage. When we got there, half of the pit area was full. We ended up in the main pit right in front of the center cat walk. It was perfect! Gaga used the catwalks more than the front stage. I would suggest being near that center cat walk for optimal view. Either side of it would be fine. There were the typical people pushing to reach "their friends"in the pit. It was quite irritating to see people who just got there just barge their way through, but I guess every concert has inconsiderate people... I thought the cat walks were gorgeous. It was very modern and quite nice to look at. However, the "castle" itself was cheap looking. Starlight came on at about 8PM and played until almost 9PM. It was painfully long. I assume that most of the other dates with actual openers will not have to deal with the cringe-fest that is Starlight for more than thirty minutes. I definitely preferred her MB opening, but that's not saying much. When Gaga came on, it was all better. She was absolutely gorgeous in her Angel-esque Koons outfit. Her stage presence and vocal were, of course, on point. She really utilizes the whole set up, but I think she ended up favoring the cat walks more. My personal favorites were: ARTPOP, Fashioin! (surprisingly), and Born This Way. The acoustic Born This Way did not kill the vibe at all. The vocals gave me chills. It was outstanding! I was not impressed by the Swine performance. I was looking for CrazyGa (i.e. throw up, squealing, etc.), but I just got NormalGa. The setlist was kind of bazaar. Aura and Venus were in odd spots, and it didn't flow. She ended with Swine (a song no one knows other than monsters). She should have ended with Applause. Also, there was no concept or plot. She did mention that she was trying to find "light" at some points, and I thought it would tie in somehow, but it didn't. Furthermore, I left the concert feeling like I didn't get a true "Gaga" moment. There was no interaction with the crowd, no "living dress"moment, no "hybrid motorcycle" moment, no "fire cone-bra" moment, no "blood" moment. It was rather just a normal pop star show, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I expect more from Gaga. Perhaps, she's her own demon in that sense. On another side of things, the outfits were interesting! I loved every single one! The wigs were on point too! I was happy she did one on-stage change. Only Gaga would let her boobs hang loose in front of thousands upon thousands of people... Overall, the concert will be great for any Gaga fan, and you will have a blast. You can tell Gaga really had a blast, too! She clearly missed being on stage. But I left the arena longing for a bit more. Hopefully she fine tunes the concert, like she does with all of her world tours. It's strange to me that the "it factor" she is able to achieve in short form performances (like leaving a hotel, sleeping in a bottle, or an award show performance) doesn't really translate into her tours. From the videos and pictures I have seen of last nights performances the show looked pretty uninspired. But of course I wasn't in the audience, it might have been an incredible experience. All of this. Your posts are always so fair! Edited May 5, 2014 by EarnYourLeather Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lad-gaga 263 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 i just wish she would add something on to the black latex outfit she wore for r1bw for different songs i.e a head piece or jacket Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkCity 10,499 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I just showed my mum videos (she's coming to watch the show with me and my boyfriend) and she's slayed. She says that it is AMAZING. We are so excited Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,108 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 From what I've seen it looks like she wanted to make it as different from her last tour as possible. And I get the feeling that she heard some of the complaints about her speeches. We've become accustomed to her having a clear narrative with her tours, so I'm not surprised that some are disappointed by how casual everything is. I think people are overreacting a bit though, I mean...some of y'all are acting like it's as blah and ~minimalist as Rihanna's Diamonds tour. At the same time, I understand why there are complaints. For example, I was hoping she'd utilize more of the tech stuff she displayed back in November. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 This tour is disappointing. At least it'll wrap up the era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
