Justice for Applause?

So the Applause from the ArtRAVE is not the Applause I know and love. Am I alone in this? I hated the costume hated the choreo hated the way she sang it. It didn't do Applause justice. I expected a more dark and explosive performance more in line with the video. It sucks, because it was easily one of my top 5 favorite Gaga songs ever but probably my least favorite performance (DWUW comes in a very close second). So I'm hoping on this next tour -- with these two songs no longer occupying "prime" slots in her sets -- that maybe they will get a different aesthetic that is more in-line with their music videos (what we've seen of them) and their meaning. What do you think?

I am excited to see how she changes these two songs to fit with the vibe of the record. I liked the DWUW performance but you are right, the whole raver girl segment was awful except for Swine.

All I care about was that Swine live was an eargasm that I will always remember :diane: 

I think what was worse in my mind was Bad Romance in a raver girl outfit. I don't know. It's in the past now, anyhow, so I don't see any use in raising a fist at it.

The Applause video and cover were iconic. But the artRAVE performance was kind of underwhelming to me too :cryga:

I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

Ok well I'll admit DWUW wasn't as bad as applause and I liked the monster paw prop it just felt like she didn't sing it with as much passion as I expected from her - especially after seeing this: 

Note: I would put this performance up against the 2009 VMA Paparazzi performance all day long. And now that I mention it, Alejandro felt a little watered down too - at least at my show

Yes that prop was really good, and i liked her outfit too, it was cute. But you are definitely right about the other part, that DWUW performance is one of my favorites ever, her vocals, the theatrics, the ending, everything was awesome.

I liked the artRave a lot and I do think i5 gets unnecessary hate but I understand when it comes to the Applause segment cuz it was juts not that good, I was hoping for something more in line with the iTunes festival performance.

This was the Donatella I loved

This is the Donatella I got. I wanted it to be Versace-themed costumes and stuff...

The outfit is her worst tour outfit tbh, I don't know why she choose it, and I don't know why she didn't make Applause the very last song?

It was fine when I went to the artRAVE, I was so in the moment, I didn't even really notice any "difference" in vocals or coreo. Everyone was so hype, so we were just all singing along w/ her.
