Does Gaga mime her instruments during ARTPOP and Venus?

[EvilChromatica 387]

 

I watched the artRave livestream again and noticed that the piano during ARTPOP doesn't play at all and same for Venus. Did anyone who attended the artRave personally heard the instruments or was it also inaudible?

Listen for yourselves

 

EDIT: Same goes for Electric Chapel during BTWB... the potential for a keytar solo during the bridge tho

I was shocked the first time I saw it on a fan recording of her very first artRAVE concert and checked every single night. I went myself and didn't hear anything either. It's ridiculous, really.

Venus was kinda obvious because she never played the guitar in her promo performances for it either. Still looks a bit sad but I always felt that way about her keytar performances too (with the GLORIOUS exception of the Money Honey intro @ Monster Ball).

ARTPOP's piano part was inaudible but Venus's guitar part was slightly audible.

She knows how to play that part and if you want a better audio you can go check out her Venus performance at The Graham Norton Show.

Nope. Her guitarist is standing right next to her during that performance and he's the one playing. You don't hear two guitars and the sound keeps playing while her hands stopped already.

At the X Factor she played the guitar at the beginning during Venus.

I thought so too but there's still the mystery of the two extra chords heard when they take her guitar away

[Red 97,321]

I still don't get why Venus has guitar stems in it

I thought the same and there wasn't any mic pack on the guitar

I think it's just embellishment and theatrics really

You know what's totally weird? She doesn't play the piano either there :air: And that piano part is FULL of mistakes. Sometimes I really think that she intentionally made this era a joke

Edit: Just a--lyzed some vids I could find and I think I have been misled by the bad YouTube versions where the sound doesn't match the image to an almost unnoticeable degree. Though her last chord still makes me think there's at least a chance she recorded a bad piano part on purpose, I'm not sure anymore Just throwing that out there.

Some Just Dance Performances sound Legit for example the Jingle Bell Ball one.

Her talent was more versatile back then, now she just relies on vocals.

How can you hear something with all that noise?

Seriously, your hate to Gaga is beyond me
