ENIGMA Opening Night

[Spock 20,290]

I just came back from the show and im

SO slayed it was INSANE. 

I loved the setlist, there were some really cool surpises there. I literally screamed when she started Government Hooker. I’m also glad she payed Joanne dust. 

The Engima concept and interludes were amazing, though I got the vibe she was dragging us a little bit lmao. 

The only thing I didn’t like was the messy robot and that disgusting wig

This show looked pretty good from what I could tell but I’m more excited for Jazz & Piano show as I think it will have more songs that I like. *I’m really glad I went to the JWT because this one didn’t have enough Joanne songs* 

Anyone know when the first Jazz & Piano show is?

I feel like this proves that Shallow is  Gaga's best song to date.

Did not stay up all night to watch some potato quality video. After having a good night sleep, I hope there will a good quality one uploaded in the next few hours ... And I can't wait for the reviews from those who attended

I just woke up, saw the setlist, looks pretty great, apart from the fact that this is the third time she is closing the show with a piano song, watched some videos, it looks very futuristic and tech-based

Can someone plz explain the purpose of c0ck ring

Okay. I woke up at night to watch some crappy videos and then went to sleep again. 

I'll begin with the pros, then the cons, and then give my general feedback. 

Pros (+): 

- the ENERGY. The first thing that struck me watching the videos was her energy. I never saw her so strong, powerful and passionated about the choreographies before. I mean come on, she danced her ass off !!!

- the setlist: Dance in the Dark, Aura, Government Hooker. No need to say more. Oh yeah, I'm so happy she included Million Reasons and Shallow.

- the "Monster" vibe, very reminiscent of the Monster Ball tour in the way she interacted with the audience 

- the stage pretty impressive as well. it was a long time she hadn't used the stage for unique performances à la Born this Way Ball (for example: at the JWT she either danced or sat at the piano, here she had technologies at her disposal etc) 

Cons (-): 

- the WIG... I'm sorry but that did not looked good. Nor did the make up. 

- the setlist: the first act (with TF songs) is waaaaaay too long. It sets the bar way too high. Indeed the hype hoes down after Million Reasons and indeed the setlist feels unfinished. But wait. This is the FIRST show. Piece of Me looked very cheap during the first shows. Same counts for the first shows of the Monster Ball, the BTW Ball, the artRave and arguably the JWT. Maybe they were just testing the water. I hope they'll change it cause I really expected Venus, Perfect Illusion and The Cure. 

- in the same vein, all her songs performed (minus MR and Shallow) date back 2009-2013 !!! I just don't understand why she didn't use the new pop material from ASIB to make it more fresh... that's such a shame. She said in 5F2 that she can't bring back her past and yet most her songs are from TF(M)/BTW. 

Conclusion: 

It's a good start for a residency but some major changes are required. It still is a pretty good show  I'm not disappointed, I'm just confused.

Did the same  From what I've seen so far, the show seemed to be really cool

I really love this show! Amazing setlist and design. And the fact that she covered Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans" put the cherry on top. I'M SOLD

[Sestri Levante 972]

The Bowie cover fits so well in the track listing

Katy Perry also works very hard on her shows and that doesn't stop most LMs from calling them childish freakshows that only showcase her lack of talent

Your argument only applies to some lm's, not to all. IMO, Katy is very talented and her shows are fun.. And still Gaga did work hard on this....

[Babel 41,249]

I don’t know where to post this, but how I missed her in a sparkly bodysuit, she looks so good in this 

 

[Kattys 4,319]

Am I the only one who loved the wig ?  Teal and blue fits her like a glove!

I could honestly go on a diatribe about how I feel but I will keep it to this:

 

-There’s nothing revolutionary, she honestly has peaked when it comes to tours and is just mixing the same elements of her shows together. The tours are honestly made for the general public anyway so big fans who have seen her a hundred times aren’t gonna be shocked with anything new

 

-You can tell the script and interludes were actually written by Gaga cause they’re so cringe lol

 

-Lastly, does anyone else prefer when Gaga’s not on tour? It gets me too emotional and stresses me out/makes me sad I can’t see her in person more...

This is clearly the most cringeworthy post I've read this year.
