LA Times: Gaga was a better troubadour than a superstar at JWT

What was surprising was how much more effective the intimate episodes were than the rest of the concert. Not because Lady Gaga had never stripped down before; she’s been peppering her gigs with piano ballads for years, eager to demonstrate her vocal chops to anybody convinced her singing is a studio creation.

But in the past those moments were often the phoniest, as though she’d entered a kind of stage-school zombie state. At April’s Coachella festival, the singer began her headlining set with a thrilling 45-minute sprint through some of her highest-energy, most provocative material — then brought the production to a standstill when she sat down behind a keyboard and turned her song “The Edge of Glory” into showy but unfeeling cabaret.

Here, in contrast, she was funny and poignant as she did the new record’s “Come to Mama” at a glowing piano positioned on that smaller stage. “Joanne” was disarmingly tender, with a blend of grief and hope that felt lived, not rehearsed.

I'm not sure what to make of this review.One second he's praising the show  and in next line he's throwing some random shade  :wtfga:

Anyway,he's the same guy who reviewed Joanne and was overly critical of the album :lana:

So they think that Gaga dislikes Bad Romance and The Cure :oprah:

Spoiler

I would hate BR if I were her after performing it 3000 times. :toofunny:

The LA Times, like, consistently dislikes her, right?

It's like they're trying so hard not to like her here, but they do. It's a really positive review, but they just seem so cynical about her lmao

That's why she should ditch LoveGame and Telephone and perform Sinner's Prayer and Just Another Day. :whitney:

The article was fine until this part "And you could almost hear the regret in “The Cure,” a laughably trendy electro-pop single she released in the wake of “Joanne’”s underwhelming commercial performance." The Cure was for Sonja. Joanne's underperformance while it was the best selling female album and has the best selling female single is extremely wrong.

I kinda like this review cause sure they criticized her fashion but when it comes to talent and the feelings she put in her ballads,  the whole concert was worth it just to listen to her sing on a piano.

Why is the LA Times always throwing shade? Why do they have to be so negative? It's not usually constructive, just bitchy. 

They had some nice things to say though! I disagree with the notion that her piano ballads have been phony and boring in the past. :awkney: They are my favorite parts/performances. 

The ending line of the article is awful too, unfortunately.

Then they will judge her for not singing some of her biggest hits and call her egoistic. :nails: U can never please them, they just hate Gaga.

This is just the LA version of the NYT guy :toofunny: Same hater who bashed Joanne/ARTPOP/BornThisWay/Everything and Anything she's put out since the debut of her career. Yawn. I'll pass on this review :sweat:
