What are your thoughts on SwineFest?

In my opinion, it's probably the best show she ever did. She's had better performances (like the Brit Awards and VMAs 2009), but as an overall show, I think she's never been better than she was at SwineFest. Every time I go back and watch it, I'm amazed by how well thought-out it was, how well-rehearsed it was.

 

The performances of Aura, Swine and ARTPOP in particular are some of the best she ever did, IMO. The passion and energy are so electric and exciting. Performance-wise, Gaga was on top of her game - even though she wasn't emotionally or physically on top at the time. 

 

Some people have said that SwineFest hindered the era, that it took away the excitement and expectations, but I think it was one of the only things that this era got right. The one problem I can see is that we all inevitably compared the album versions to the SwineFest versions, and some of us weren't as impressed by the album versions (myself included, in the case of Sexxx Dreams and Swine). But it is what it is. I tend to think her live versions are better than the recorded songs 90% of the time, regardless of the fact we heard the live versions first with ARTPOP. 

 

Didn't mean to waffle on so much... but I was just interested to see what people think of SwineFest, a year later?

I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

And it was her first time on stage since injury.

 

It was a show that everyone waiting for.

Even those who just wanna know if Gaga

It was a great show, the biggest mistake was that she performed only songs from ARTPOP... She ruined the surprise with the iTunes festival and the many teasers she released like ARTPOP, G.U.Y. and Mary Jane Holland also because we already knew Applause, Do What U Want and Venus. 

Don't you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention?

Its one of my favourite Gaga performances ever. ARTPOP in particular, the way she moves and sings  :giveup:

I think it was great, because imo the show created some sort of curiosity and speculation, like 'how will sound this song on the album?'. I was totally hyped. I loved it.

I really loved it, I appreciate her more choreographed performances but it was nice to get a break from that after an entire era of tightly organised stage shows.

To go from performances like these, and an incredible stage show like TBTWB

to a show like this was really refreshing. It just felt so raw and intimate. It was just wonderful.
