^^^^^^^^ Mentally ill monsters

All of you should be ashamed, you're stuck in 2010! Learn how to accept change! I attended the Tour December 12th in Denver and I can tell you EVERYONE after the concert was completely floored by it, y'all are little brats expecting too much from Gaga complaining behind your screens! Sit down!

well im not agreeing with anyone but you shouldn’t be calling anyone mentally ill because they disagree with you

Did we all suddenly forget the album and its themes that revolved around this tour? 

Because to me it seems like people suddenly jumped ship and started to hate this tour after she cancelled it.

I see a lot of fakes here. what a shame.

Of course calling herself a slut that loves to masturbate and singing about it, killing herself on stage and having two male dancers touching each other is way too conservative.

That’s it without mentions how she spoke about teenagers gays coming out to their parents on her show (at least in my date).

Taylor Swift who? We got our new republican queen

Coming for Sarah Huckabee Sanders's wig, tbh.

Lol and suddenly people care about what a middle aged straight white guy that works for the BBC has to say?  

He can keep his lame opinion and can let the fans actually enjoy the show which they have been. 

ummm so you're saying if he was a black millennial gay guy we should care? 

honestly i don't get the new trend of specifying when someone's white as something bad... and generally by white people

Review: Lady Gaga's Joanne tour at Birmingham Arena ★★☆☆☆ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42924491

 

Me personally, I see where he’s coming from. I had a great time but I can see where he makes his reservations from a place of deep admiration for her. I find this to be really fair and the addendum sweet so even if I don’t fully agree with the review (somewhat I do), I appreciate it. What do you think?

lies, lies and more lies

What i really think is that we should start appreciating gagas efforts and stop having unrealistic 2009ish expectations from her. JWT is one of her most amazing tours. Also i cant find link but this is posted already ad she is dragged enuf for this already

I found it

[Babel 41,429]

Bullshit? Calling her conservative it’s the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard said about her when she kills herself on stage, talks to her gay audience about coming out to their parents at her concert, calls herself a slut while singing about masturbation, doing a segment of two male dancers dancing together while belting out Alejandro/Born This Way, etc.

I mean, what’s she’s supposed to do to please this man? She wanted people to come along with the album without losing her Gaga touch, that’s the message on it and it gets across the whole show

has this guy went to a Katy Perry/Bruno Mars/Taylor Swift show? Talk about playing it safe there 

[Sakrai 4,759]

It's a valid perspective. A very childish one, but valid nonetheless.

[Tan Fei 1,324]

Enough of all these discussion ... yea everyone has their opinion . But i dont agree with the conservative part . Shes not conservative at all . And she has to please all her fans . She has to think of her old and new fans. Half of them like piano , ballad, Jazz Gaga .Half of them like fun crazy Gaga . So tbh , hard to please everyone.. but definitely not conservative   shes striking a balance

Better an honest critic than unreflected everything-prasing stans. I like his review and I felt some of it too in Hamburg, first of all the stage design (we stood at the Million reasons stage) and the main stage was sooo small that she looked like a lego figurine from the back there. Secondly, the light installation was too crass, the huge white flashing lights of the mainstage etc. just distracted from the show. I also felt like her dancing was not as awesome as during the BTW Ball or Artrave, let alone the Monster Ball... unfortunately her singing kinda suffered from the whole walking around and "dancing", maybe it’s the songs but Bad Romance, alejandro etc. didn’t feel like back at the BTW Ball. Maybe I’m just too prejudiced because I compare it to my all time favorite Monster Ball and BTW Ball live experiences but JWT kinda disappointed me  I loved the show and to see her, unqestionably, nevertheless it was not as good as the former tours IMO.

I saw her in LA last December. People freaked out. It was so fun. Maybe she won't have another period where she's the biggest thing. But her show was off the charts.
