Andrew 375 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It is rather refreshing to see her getting back to the music. However, I am rather surprised at how simple it does all seem to look. Regardless, I am still very excited to hear the ARTPOP songs live! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixxx 33 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) POP is the music. ART is the stage, the outfits, the choreography, etc. You sound like all the lame haters and "critics". What did you expect in terms of art? She said it was a rave inspired party Yeah, rave 'inspired', But I could have seen this or this at any rave 10 or 15 years ago. Perhaps I'm just overexposed to that culture, but I can't see anything particularly 'inspired' about it. It's a shame because the outfit she's wearing for BR actually looked quite interesting before she slapped that fizzy green monstrosity over the top of it. There's too much going on, and it just ends up looking like a bad throwback. Roseland Fashion/ costumes were ON POINT http://gagafashionland.com/category/roseland-ballroom-costumes/ . What happened?

Yes YOU could but keep in mind a lot of her fans are teens or youngsters barely in their 20s. They have no clue about a rave 10 or 15 years ago and how it looked like or the outfits were. The group that actually attended raves 10/15 years ago and are a part of her crowd is maybe 10% or less of the fan base. You really should look at a wider picture here then just your own.

GovernmentHookah 881 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yeah same, it just made me super depressed bc I wanted to see her so bad and yep :) Sweet! I'd like to get to know more Tampa monsters Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you're saying, (as an aside I'm only 26, but I was raving at 16, and it was nothing new even then) but I still feel that she could have actually done more with it. It's one thing taking inspiration from retro culture, but I expect Lady Gaga to be putting her own spin on it. At the moment that awful costume literally just looks like a more expensive version of this: and that just makes me want to sick in my own mouth a little bit. I would say that THESE pieces are perhaps inspired by that culture but they look much more fresh, contemporary and inspired: Edited May 6, 2014 by phoenixxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 after watching videos from the night I finally realised that the tour has actual plot (not that I have complained about it because I still think that the tour is good ) but for those hatin in for not having a plot developed into it I made a thread explaining the story http://gagadaily.com/index.php/topic/103094-the-tour-has-a-plot-story/ It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outfit you posted, isn't that exactly what she tries to embody? The raver style and feel at a concert? I mean sure she could change it but wouldn't she change the essence of the whole thing? The outfits of Roseland served their purpose just like the outfits at the ArtRave do imo Edited May 6, 2014 by Malinowa Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not just speaking as a fan, but as a costume designer/performance maker. I'm looking forward to seeing how this show is going to develop (because they always do) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkCity 10,484 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I also believe that she's trying to take it a bit eassy this time after what happened with her hip last tour. And that could hapen again tbh. For example if you look at DWUW performance (and I love it). That song has a choreo and it is amazing... why isn't she doing it with a lot of dancers on the central catwalk? Like she did in the AMAs... I think it is because of this, idk. anyway I love the show and this performance with the cristal paw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgViMkZmfK8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orly D 314 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 lol. you can jump off the ship rn. good bye, Gaga doesn't need your complaints. Most of the people who complained didn't attend the first tour so we shouldn't care about them. Excuse you, I attended the BTWB. All I am saying is that Gaga is capable of something far greater but she is not maximising that to full use. She doesn't have much time left.
