I reckon she won't some of the outfits again. Remember the first MB 2.0? She wore a different outfit for Glitter and Grease, Just Dance, BDR, Vanity, The Fame, BBB, MH, Telephone, Brown Eyes, Speechless and Bad Romance. So if you're hating the outfits, there will probably be new ones in Hong Kng. I love the outfits apart from the white one used for Judas, it's great for BR, but it just doesn't fit in with the Judas theme

THE STORY

The concert begins in complete darkness with the sound of unicorn trotting along. Gaga is making her escape from her alien world. The slow moving of Gaga on the Unicorn around to runway (Highway) reflects the journey is this escape - she is trying to find her destination away from darkness and evil - hence the lack of lightning. At the end of the song, she finally reaches The Castle on Earth - the kingdom on Little Monsters. This sets up the story, she is ultimately on the Road To Love in her journey of life.

The lights then turn as if there are spotlights trying to hunt Gaga down:

*"Initiating satellite.

*

Space renegade Lady Gaga has escaped.

Downloading image of personel

*Alien fugitive. Objective: To birth a new race.

Operation: KILL THE BITCH."

And this is when it is revealed that they are trying to hunt Gaga down - she is an trying to birth a new race but there are those who try to stop her. This is symbolic of those in society that try to oppress and snuff out one's plight for freedom and peace in the world. It is also representative of Gaga's journey - she was trying to do the right thing by creating a judgement free race, but evil in society has only one thing in mind; Operation: Kill The Bitch.

She also feels the government can act as part of the evil that stops freedom - hence Government Hooker is the 2nd song. She continues to try to spread her message around earth, which she has ultimately done since the beginning of her actual career:

-having a good time with friends and while taking the journey of life (Just Dance/Heavy Metal Lover)

-not being suffocated/overwhelmed (Telephone)

-fighting for your rights (Scheisse/Americano)

-being yourself and being proud (Born This Way/Hair/Bad Kids/The Queen)

-forgiveness and interaction with religion (Judas/Bloody Mary)

The narrative also touches on her own personal story as while trying to give birth to freedom:

-Romance (You & I/ Bad Romance/ Alejandro/ Poker Face)

-Her experience with others on earth (Fashion of His Love)

To our knowledge, Gaga actually defeats the evil during Paparazzi which represents her time in the spotlight and how this time was a dangerous moment for her, she she could have been swallowed by evil with fame and the media but she defeated it. And hence, the kingdom of fame was established:

*

GAGA: “The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage. The Born This Way Ball is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.â€

However she still faces personal struggle in her life, The Edge of Glory gets her thinking existentially and she experiences death in her life - she experiences downfall - maybe representative of her plight when getting dropped from Def Jam. or the backlash from the BTW era. The song represents death but the following song represents how monsters will die celebrating:

However she will Marry The Night, she is reborn again after the 'death' to fight again as she encourages all monsters to pick themselves up when they fall and to live passionately. The birth is then finished through experience and the journey and the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame is complete.

EXTRA MINDBLOWING NOTE:

The Manifesto of Little Monsters [Monster Ball 2009-2011]

There's something heroic about the way my fans operate their cameras. So precisely and intricately, so proudly, and so methodically. Like Kings writing the history of their people.

It's their prolific nature that both creates and procures what will later be perceived as the "kingdom".

So, the real truth about Lady GaGa fans lies in this sentiment: They are the kings. They are the queens. They write the history of the kingdom, while I am something of a devoted jester.

It is in the theory of perception that we have established our bond. Or, the lie, I should say, for which we kill. We are nothing without our image. Without our projection. Without the spiritual hologram of who we perceive ourselves to be, or to become rather, in the future.

When you're lonely,

I'll be lonely too.

And this is the fame.

-Lady GaGa

The fans created the kingdom. They are the image of it and as the jester, Gaga inaugurates the kingdom with their help. In the past she told us to look into the future to dream of what we could make. She did this herself trying to birth the race and the kingdom has now come.

Gaga's songs are already deep, but this concept gives these songs even more meaning.

Skip the summer, I wanna be at the BTWB :cryga:

I know it was only the first show and things will be subject to change, but at this point, I am disappointed and I feel it is Gaga's fault. She insists on controlling everything when really, it is sometimes necessary to bring in professional people who actually know what they're doing. The castle looks cheap, boring and dated and doesn't fit into any sort of narrative, the outfits suck and the setlist is a mess. All of this is more annoying considering how expensive the tickets are. The price is not justified and basically seems like Gaga is taking her fans for a ride.

There's a difference between "stating your opinion" and making 367456365 posts about how disappointed you are in the show.

I mean.... :wtf:

:golfclap:

Nothing will ever be good enough for some people.

Obviously critisism is fine, everyone is allowed opinions. I just think its too early to judge. Its the first show, there's hardly any good quality videos of each song and obviously things are gonna go wrong. Wait until she makes some changes and tweaks the show a bit later on.

You can't judge a show properly until you've seen it in person anyway - not from a computer screen. Give the girl a chance. :toofunny:

reposting an edited version of my interpretation:

Amazing!! Im loving this storyline. The paparazzi part seems very MB 2.0

That's what i'm wondering too. Maybe it was a sketch or rough draft and its not there, or she removed it b/c she didn't need/want it today, didn't want to break it as i assume its glass, or the korean govt stopped her from using it.
