I think the outfit is the same as the one for Highway Unicorn but I dont know.. yeah a spot light for HU but im sure next show she will :) I hope.

yeah its the sparkly Armani alien one for both, but the best view we got was the very dark images from HU as there were virtually no lights, and the GH ones were all too small

What remixes were used in the tour?

I know at the end of Just Dance or something she used the Robot To Mars Remix of it.

And I think I remember hearing the LoveGame Dave Aude remix.

As for the others I forget...

My final thoughts & criticism:

- Costumes. She needs to drop the Versace obsession. It's tacky. Return to McQueen and young designers, plz. Also, the outfits don't fit the songs thematically, except for Bad Kids. She needs to rethink the costumes altogether.

- Stage. There needs to be more lights on the stage. Put some video walls behind the castle to create atmosphere, some screens inside the doors & windows of the castle etc. Also, put some LED lights on the floor and on the catwalk, etc. Add lasers, too. Who doesn't love lasers?

- Piano playing. She needs to return to the way it was done on TMB, an entire section on the piano. On this tour, she starts off a song on the piano and then suddenly starts jumping around the catwalk and it makes the piano playing seem like a gimmick instead of actual playing, especially when she does it in the middle of the song and the piano magically resumes playing.

- Choreography. More of it and more rehearsal please. At times she moved like Britney Spears during this show. It's bound to get better as the show goes, though. I believe in her skills as a performer. She just needs to put in more effort into dancing.

- Guitar playing. It seemed weird. Electric Chapel should be performed like Teeth was on TMB. She needs to make it very personal and soulful and intense. She was just standing there strumming the guitar and it was awkward, IMO.

- The Finale. Marry The Night can work great as the final track, but she needs to BRING IT more hard. That performance seemed messy and not epic enough for the last performance. All the dancers should be out on the catwalk during the last performance doing the hard choreography with Gaga. What was the point of the random keytar that she picks up in the end of the song? She needs to have a severe dance breakdown during the last portion of the song and end it with a BANG. If she can't pull that off, just make Born This Way the final song. It is the Born This Way Ball. It will work.

- Extra thought. I think this show was shortened because of the train situation in Korea. People already started leaving during the last segment because they needed to catch their trains, so I think they cut out a lot of things and shortened many songs. I also think the costumes she was wearing were toned down because of censorship and stuff. I believe the show will be dramatically better on the following dates.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The thoughts above are the things I want changed. Everything else I loved. The setlist is pretty much flawless and while I wouldn't mind her adding a track here and there (Dance In The Dark, Stuck On ****ing You, etc), I still think it's great that she's doing all the BTW songs + all her singles.

The castle itself is really epic and I love the way it moves around and transforms. I didn't expect that. Also, the holographic flying narrator? Revolutionary.

All in all, it's a pretty epic show that has the potential to be her best tour yet. Looking back at how The Monster Ball started out and what it later became I can only imagine how awesome this tour will be in time.

Well, I thought it's pretty well known that the song is obviously written from the perspective of Mary Magdalene...

I find it quite sad that some of you were really disappointed, but now some of you love it because you saw it in HQ. The first reaction she got from us was a negative reaction. She must have felt sad for disappointing :confuse:

I really hope that if she's read anything in this thread that she disregards it completely. It's always the same people criticizing her, expecting some unrealistic performance. To those people, no matter what she does it is not good enough. She has put on this amazing show that we haven't even seen in full yet and people are still saying it's not good enough. What do they want from her??? People need to lower their standards because I really don't understand what exactly they are expecting, the show is amazing.

I completely agree. I didn't say much about the show when the first videos came off, because I couldn't judge the show based on LQ videos. And I still can't, because it's just videos, I didn't see it live.

I think based on tweets from her, like this one:

*ladygaga I'm so grateful for all of you, thank you monsters. Last night was like being completely prepared for a moment you could never prepare for.

she doesn't seem too happy about "our" reaction. Maybe it's just me. It's still sad, though, that some people started prejudging it based on LQ videos.
