Very pleasently surprised! She did great with surprisingly good vocals. Great new arrangements in old hits instead of the usual versions as most artists do. So yeah, it was great! Haters can keep trying to diss her. Im all for the Witness era. :)

She didn't sound quite as bad as I anticipated. She's actually improved on her concluding vocals concerning Dark Horse this time as opposed to the awful way she ended it at Wango Tango. I thought it was a really touching moment when she sang Part Of Me as well. That song really has a much bigger meaning now. But she's still falling on old habits. The moments where she randomly just did a "Whooooa!" vocal for no reason was cringe overload as she couldn't pull that kind of singing off and it had nowhere to go. She needs to stop trying to convince us that she can pull off big vocals. I notice she toned the vocals of Firework right down because she knows she can't sing it while firing on all four cylinders. But she still needs to stop attempting this song live. If she wants to continue singing it, she should just save it for her tours, where the fans will be welcoming to it. But most of the public are sick to the back teeth of her butchering that song at every general promo opportunity she gets. This year alone, she's performed it at the following general promo events...The Met Gala, Wango Tango, YouTube's Brandcast, Radio 1's Big Weekend and some kind of event called The Water Rats. I'm 99% certain that she'll also do it at her upcoming Glastonbury performance. I can't believe that 7 years later, she still thinks featuring this song in a setlist is compulsory.

Everyone has one at their concert...Gaga (and everyone) even had one at the superbowl

I've never seen Gaga use one on any of her tours or even at the Super Bowl for that matter. Do we have proof?

Probably the best performance this era. She always does better with a full set, it's gives her time to warm up.

The intro was amazing, her vocals were surprisingly really good, the updated TD songs were :giveup:

She nailed it tbh. Except when the crowd chanted Yorkshire and she thought it was shade against Hull... oh Katy :ladyhaha:

 

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it

The new version of Teenage Dream is so good. I want an audio version of this :giveup:

Anyone else laughing at her skipping out most of the hard notes with random talking or just missing huge chunks of songs? She's not killing choreography like Beyonce who is the only other artist that skips huge chunks.

That set definitely wasn't made for a festival.

And her live vocals for CTTR were very hard to listen to.

It amazes me how she can sound SO BAD during some songs, yet she can sound quite nice singing other ones..

I mean, I watched the whole thing and she sounded tragic during CTTR, Bon Apetit, I Kissed A Girl... That was hard to listen... Part Of Me was a nice surprise, but her vocals were so weak, she couldn't even sustain a long tone, idk what happened cuz she is usually good when she is just standing and singing.

The best part for me was Swish Swish, she really sounds good during the verses and then Roar which could arguably be her best interpretation of this song yet.

Is it just me or does she look dead this era?

I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U"

The instrumental rearrangements were all pretty sweet & complemented her vocal range better than the old ones. Sometimes it leads to overall better results to simply accept that your natural capabilities are limited and put more work into the things you actually have control over. I can respect that :golfclap:

On another note though, this era has made me realize that she seems to have poor bodily/spatial awareness. How do you perform on world-stages for almost a decade and look so damn awkward? :sweat:
