Gaga and backing tracks

She should try to tone down the backing track as low as possible.

A good example was the India performance of The Edge of Glory, - NO backing vocals!:

 

Haha in this one she accidentally almost calls India, Italy! (2:48)

Her loudest backing track can be heard during the early Paparazzi performances @‌Artrave. The Chorus is 99% Lipsincing/Playback:

If she could turn down the chorus vocals on Bad a Romance just a little bit, they'd be perfect as well.

I expect her to replace them with live backing vocals.

She needs good backing singers.

I would think that after touring with Tony, Gaga's going to resort to hiring backup singers.  IMO, it's the best thing she can do if they find backup singers who match her vocal technique and ability and somewhat resemble her voice, too.

It has so much autotune though

Yeah I get what you mean. I personally think that some songs, like Bad Romance and Venus, definitely need backing vocals because of the layering. But most of the time Gaga does not only use background vocals, but also her main studio vocal. 

I believe there are some performances of The Edge of Glory where she clearly only uses her background vocals, and does the main vocal herself. You can hear the layering, but her own vocal is still very much the most prominent.

My personal preference would be if she kept doing this. Using the background "karaoke" vocals without adding the lead vocal. That way it's clear when she's singing and when she's not, plus it adds nice depth to the sound.

I'd personally love it if she recorded custom backing tracks for her tours, so that she can pin-point where she needs them most - instead of pumping them up to max volume throughout most choruses. 

I'm pretty optimistic about it because she said that the C2C tour made her realize that she wants to do her own songs more differently each time and bring back a certain organic quality to it, like she had with the jazz songs.
