giskardsb 12,565 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 watching some live performances from tours, I think Gaga should completely eliminate backing tracks when performing live. Use backup singers only, the musicians can trigger samples as needed. I just find the backing tracks distract from the immediacy and "reality" of the performance, especially when they are too high in the mix. Just do it all live, Gaga. She and the band are more than capable of doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

melodichard 3,753 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I completely agree. I want to hear live music and singing when I go to a concert. She just needs some good back up singers like at the Monster Ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic 11,922 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It would limit the dancing part of the performance and I imagine it would be extremely tiring for all the crew involved. My only issue is that the backing tracks are sometimes too loud and Gaga inaudible. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOTNebraskaGuy 19,547 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 YES! She needs to keep backup singers on stage with her to help sing the choruses so she can dance a bit more but either than that she should do it all alone! She's definitely able to do that.

AmenTheNight 1,079 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well I actually prefer studio backing vocals over backup singers. I've never had a problem with that at any of her shows, or maybe for a few specific performances like HML, but right now it's literally the only one that comes to my mind. And tbh, if more backing vocals mean more dancing, I have 0 problem with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did that at the monster ball Monster Ball was very very very very very very very very theatrical. It was euphoric but not in the level artRAVE was where most of the songs included heavy moving and choreographies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkCity 10,499 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well, to be fair she mainly does it in an excesive way when the segment is long and there's a lot of choreo (like JD, PF, Telephone at the artRave for example). But yeah, I would also like it to be the most live as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She and the band are more than capable of doing it. I strongly disagree. Some of y'all think Gaga is some kind of superhuman and should hit opera notes while performing the Judas choreography. She is a POPstar, not Celine Dion. You get her full-blown live vocals during the acoustic part of every tour. For the choreographed numbers, it's physically impossible for her to perform every single song without backing track. It literally is the glue that holds it all together, it contains cues for her and it provides a support and comfort that's necessary. Not even Beyoncé, the queen of singing live while heavily dancing, is ever on tour without backing track. It's a must. 30 minutes ago, blackstar said: Agree. She did that at the monster ball She didn't. Just because you saw the backing singers doesn't mean she didn't have backing track. She had it throughout the entire Monster Ball except for the acoustic section. I don't get this website's obsession with backing tracks. The artist is still singing live, still engaging with the audience, what's the big deal? If Adele or Celine had a backing track, I'd understand, you're paying to see them stand behind a microphone and hear them sing. But Gaga is a PERFORMER, you come for the total experience, not just the vocals. So unless y'all are up for a tour full of ballads only, it's simply not gonna happen. It hasn't happened. No popstar that's dancing during their shows is 100% without backing track, I can assure you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJH219 4,448 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I agree. Its a cheap and LAZY cop out, I'm not paying over $100 to hear the album played over the speakers. Sing live, without backing tracks, or gtfo tbh. I'll take vocals over choreography any day. Especially if she can't bother to hire someone decent to create choreography that doesn't look what you'd see at a middle school dance 'All our dreams can come true IF we have the courage to pursue them'-Walt Disney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
