If KP4 flops, do you think there will be a KP4 World Tour?

I don't think it's because labels don't want big theatrics anymore, it's simply the matter of they can't afford them like they used to. So few artists are having big hit albums these days. There's just not enough money to fund these million dollar lightshows right now. If everyone was selling like the 90's, there is no doubt that every tour would be spectacular. But if you can't sell, you will take a budget cut. So many Gaga fans hated the downgrade from the BTW stage to the artRave stage. To be honest, I thought the catwalks that took her right into the crowd overrode all that, though. I ended up right underneath her and she looked right at me!

I watched the whole Prismatic tour, piece by piece from videos on YouTube and we're talking about official live DVD uploads here, so it's ultimate quality. And I have to say, I thought, minus Katy's awful vocals, the show was certainly an amazing spectacle. Though, I'd like to pretend that whole section with her dancers dressed up as cats never happened. This is honestly one of the highest budget tours I've ever seen. The mechanical horse, moving platforms, an inflatable car, confetti showers...not to mention winching devices to lift Katy into the air while lying flat and even a winch that made her drift through the entire arena clutching onto balloons. There were also 250 costumes made for Katy and all the dancers. Songs and vocal ability aside, there's no denying that the tour was a showstopper vision-wise. I don't know how she's ever going to top that. Even Gaga's shows didn't have such high production values. But she will unquestionably go through a downgrade this time and it's going to make all her vocal shortcomings really stand out. A fan who used to come here all the time said in late 2015 that her next tour was going to be even bigger than Prismatic. I think this just shows that you can't count your chickens before they hatch.

Amen to that.
