Yeah I know, I was just pointing that out as something funny lol. I loved every second of the show.

Wait was she doing it during the JWT or are you just talking about before when Joanne came out?

I'm talking about calibre though. As if Madonna's production is a national concert while Gaga's production is a high school talent show. Will Gaga ever evolve to be capable of putting on a big show like that? 

 

^ fixed 

JWT stage is a big production and a technological improvement for her. You can't deny that. That stage does everything. Literally. 

And, well, Madonna has been touring for 30 years.

but she just said to Joanne that there's a new girl in a town, not to call her Joanne or are you talking about different moment. 

Oh, I'm talking about different moments 

I think it happened in one of the LA shows, we were watching it live.

I attended both LA shows and I thought it was great. Every concert doesn't need a behind the scenes story and plot. Majority of artists out don't do it; they just get on stage and go for it. I wasn't expecting some drawn out "now we'll never make it to the Monster Ball" or "Operation Kill the Bitch" type of storyline to go with JOANNE. As she evolves musically, I actually hope she drops it altogether.

The stage might be the best stage I've seen in a very long time. I've never seen anything like it. The technical side and lighting is great

Gurll I was hyped AF before the show started, but feelings can't be forced in the end  Someone can be a real fan and recognize when something's boring or not at its full potential.. 

I couldn't get to that euphoric feeling that I did like at BTWB where she came out in Bloody Mary and I was sobbing in tears the whole 3 minutes.

 

Well luckily you're in the minority because I've seen nothing but rave reviews on social media from both fans and casual fans. The tour has critical acclaim aside from 2 publications so  I don't know. Maybe she can't please everyone? Maybe you're still hung up on the BTWB nostalgia or something?  Who knows?

During a show!

I couldn't find a video on YouTube but there're comments about that on one of the threads I'm sure.

Its just such a spectacle though. The stage is the most beautiful and intricate that she has had, I love the set list, and her vocals are really really great. 

Everyone that has been to the shows have raved about them, yet people who haven't even gone yet are complaining. I'm going to listen to those who have attended. 

Sure, there are things that can improve, but the tour has literally just started. 

If I didn't have a boyfriend and you weren't straight (although, who really is ), I would ask you to marry me.

Okay, she is improving in that sense, but she has a long way to go then   And I just hope she doesn't lose theatricality or gets lazy.

and ok fair that Madonna's been doing it for 30 years.

I wanted to be excited and I was hyped AF when that timer ended but I ended up just standing and observing which is a devastating feeling....like when the curtains opened and she came out standing on a box with generic lighting and smoke 

Did you actually see any of her previous tours? I am failing to understand this comparison to Madonna...Madonna is over 20 years further into her career. But either way, I have been to Madonna concerts, and I have been to every Gaga tour for years now, this year will be 10th and 11th time seeing her, never once has she left me disappointed. Dance, enjoy the atmosphere, have a drink and a good time, get out of your own head and look away from your mirror for a few seconds to take all that in.

A Gagaball isn't just a concert, and if you can get out of that mindset, then you are doomed to never understand or appreciate the experience of a safe space you share with people who are alike in many ways and have at least one shared love: Lady Gaga, the artist, the talent, the down to the bone hardworker, the legend.

well and people have to take into consideration that her story lines on tours weren't that mindblowing. Monster Ball was the most plain thing. She was just telling about getting to The Monster Ball few times. And that's basically all. But people tend to remember that as a whole new-level plot.

I think you missed the point of this tour, it's more intimate, more about family, friends, to come together and be united as people.. and you just go along with her discography and catching the nostalgic moments of her first singles or feel part of a big group of people when she sings Angel Down..

Not everything needs to be spectacular or with a certain story, sometimes, you just need to think outside of the box and make your own story..

In my opinion, this tour is pretty theatrical. Not with props, but with her persona. 

This review explains it better:

I think this is one of her best. I'm actually surprised. I thought with the album and the way the era was going that the tour was going to be rather simple, bare and stripped down which I was dreading. She really turned it out. 

As far as a Madonna concert goes... I've seen Madonna a couple of times and found her extremely boring. I didn't find her shows very interesting at all.
