The BTW Ball Premiere

[Parka 1]

Ok, so it looks like she has the vessel for BTW. But some huge prop carries it out..you can see it sometimes at the beginning of that video in the left corner.

I wanna know what it issssss!!!! :taylor:

Is she making ground beef from her dancers during Pokerface¿Â¿Ã‚¿

[Dayman 5,903]

Wait, was there any interludes? I know DJ White Shadow said he was working on the music for them, but what happened? The opening of the show slays my life though. Highway Unicorn is my favorite song off of Born This Way and that is the exact way I pictured it as an opener! I love it. It needs some props, some backdrops, and video interludes added. Nothing major, just to spice it up. One of my favorite things from the Monster Ball was the backdrop during Monster, that detail is not there this time. But it doesnt matter because the show was a very cohesive work and the set list order is perfect.

[Electric Kiss 1]

Because she changed from MB1 to MB2 really quickly and didn't have enough time to rehearse whereas she had a lot of time to rehearse the BTW Ball, and she even said on Twitter that she rehearsed A LOT and A LOT OF TIME BEFORE the first show.

Anyone who's ever performed anything live can tell you that it's impossible to work out all the kinks without an live audience. Even if she has months to prepare, you can't anticipate everything. Trying to sing in an arena that's empty is a lot different than one with thousands of people...you can't practice that. You have to get used to it, and that takes time.

• At the beginning of the concert, the intro used was the Jumping Film from the theater version of The Monster Ball Tour.
  
• Throughout the concert, there were minor problems in the sound system and several burst sounds were heard by the public.
  
• Because of the soundcheck problems, this caused most of the back-track to be louder than Gaga's vocals. This later raised controversy that she may have been lip syncing during the concert.
  
• There was a kitchen fire backstage, causing the show to be late, and almost cancelled.
  
• No sound was heard when Gaga played EMMA while performing "The Fame".
  
• During the Puke Film, the audio was late, causing the video to be replayed.
  
• During "LoveGame", there were various differences:
  

  [*]Gaga lost the first line during "Money Honey", because of the introduction, which was shorter than in the other shows.

  [*]Gaga didn't sing a part of "Telephone" because that was meant to be a dance break.

  [*]During the Twister Film, Gaga's mic was turned off and the audio of the screen was not aligned, so the only instrument heard was the harp.

  [*]The elevator rose at the beginning of "So Happy I Could Die", until the end of the song.

  [*]The Antler Film had a different audio, which samples a instrumental with backing vocals version of "So Happy I Could Die", causing the film had been played for almost three times.

  [*]During "Monster", there were various differences:

  • The backdrop video started at the beginning of the song, instead of the second line of "He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart."
    
  • Gaga didn´t leave the stage, or jump back to the stage using the trap door elevator, and didn't change outfits before the last chorus of "Monster". She did the mentioned, after the song.
    

  [*]During "Teeth", the backdrop was the same as the one in "Monster".

  [*]During the Monster Film, the only audio used was Gaga reading out the Manifesto of Little Monsters with the band performing.

  [*]The theater version of the Apocalyptic Film was used, with samples of "Money Honey" at the beginning.

  [*]The Apocalyptic Film were the only interlude that didn't have trouble with the music and/or wasn't repeated.

  [*]The intro of "Paparazzi" was not featured, it was shown the screen rose when the Angler Fish and Gaga was lighted as well the whole stage.

  [*]The Pyro-Bra was not featured during "Paparazzi", and the ending was the Angler Fish eating Gaga instead of it being killed by Gaga.

  [*]There was no band performance before "Bad Romance".

  [*]Gaga wore a straight white wig, similar to the wig she wore during The Fame era. This wig was worn throughout "So Happy I Could Die". She then changed to her double tone wig (blonde and yellow) during "Monster".

  [*]The outfits that Gaga wore during "Dance in the Dark", "Glitter and Grease", "Just Dance", "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich", "Vanity", "Money Honey", "Telephone", and "Bad Romance" were never used again.

  [*]Several of Gaga's props went missing.

During the intro, there wasn´t the line of the express man saying "Emergency! There's something in the tracks!", and the voice that said "Glitter Way" and some of the construction sounds were different.
Gaga's gestures and poses during the intro were different.
Gaga removed her nun hat outside the subway.
She almost lost the first verse of the bridge because there wasn't the break after the 2nd chorus.

AMEN!

Then you deserve to be disappointed. have your own opinion. if other people's disappointment makes you feel the same then thats your problem not mine. Watch the videos and form your own opinion but dont blame others for being so robotic.

i need to see this tour the outfits... her wig... she's so cute :cry:

Is Youtube being completely useless to anyone else today? Videos are taking ages to buffer and my internet connection is fine.

[Kermit the frog 1,761]

There are more theatrical pieces than at the monster ball, you guys...

[Arturo 40,746]

I'm out too.

It'll be fun when all the people bashing the tour from very LQ Youtube vids will come back from the actual tour and be like "OMG. THE TOUR WAS SO AMAZING :cry: HER VOICE, THE CHOREO, THE ATMOSPHERE<3"

It's sad that people are putting her show down based on ****ty Youtube videos.. You think this fan base would have a bit more respect for her and wait to hardcore judge until they see it in it's entirety

Oh, and ps. I'm so proud of Gaga :)

Good lord, that condom-yellow latex hoop dress is dreadful.

I'm not saying the show sucks, or that I won't go, or anything like that, because it IS too early to be that definitive. But from what I've seen, it DOES look a little plain and mismatched. A giant castle with nothing going on, no iconic props or theatrics so far, it just seems kind of underwhelming. Hopefully it will improve as the tour goes on, but it shouldn't have to; she's had a year since the album dropped to plan it, no reason to have anything less than a killer show.

The white lighting is just killing me. I really hope she tweaks the lighting and adds some more color. :giveup:
