Some fans expected her to perform like 20 fan faves, 3 hits, and a new song. :shrug:

This. I’m guilty for thinking she was gonna give 4 more songs to the setlist. But I had to realize this is a residency and not your average Gaga tour or festival.

I think I set my expectations too high which caused my disappointment. I was thinking this would be a super innovative show with an insanely intricate stage design because it wouldn't need to be dismantled and transported like a tour stage. Plus the storyline was a bit lacklustre, imo.

YES I agree the setlist was a bit messy but the plot was strong

It was not tho.

What attracts me to Gaga shows is mostly the storyline, so there's no need to say I was looking for this the most tonight. With a name like this for the show, and this awesome teaser we got right before, I assumed it would deliver as much, if not more than the BTWB in that field.

Yet the plot was a mix of those same cheesy speeches she feeds us at every show since the Monster Ball, random pain screams and messy anime videos where the only thing that happened was flying and moaning noises.

The actual ENIGMA character was messy and boring.

The setlist made no sense with the plot. Why the **** did the show start with Just Dance and end with Shallow ? It could have started with Aura and ended with a more fitting electronic, techno song. 

I'm slain by the idea of those interlude videos and by the return of Petga, but I am SO letdown by how they used them.

If you watch the Enigma teaser + the Superbowl you basically saw everything there was to see in that show.

It's just a regular meltdown. One of the oldest meltdowns I could remember is The Fame perfume video and many fans were disappointed because they were expecting a Scheisse music video for some reason. Yet critics loved it.

ASIB trailer came out and many fans were critical of how her acting looked in the trailer and guess what, ASIB received ACCLAIM and is a potentially strong Oscar contender.

I'm disappointed not many fan favorites are performed

Several were performed. :toofunny: She made the best choice by selecting the ones she did cause those are the most popular by fans and the general public. 

I loved for her to give us John Wayne, Hair, Sexxx Dreams, SHICD, DIC, and HML but those weren’t as popular. Don’t get upset about it she may bring some of your favorites.

For me it was the costumes and the concept.

By concept I mean we've already seen her interact with a otherworldly being displayed on a screen on the stage, running around scared, scream and pretend to suffer, use of big props be it the angler fish thing, horse or motorcycle.... It felt like new versions of the same old things to me. 

The outfits? I was hyped cause I love Nicola and sensenli or whoever he's collaborating with right now but it felt like ARTPOP 2.0. more 90s raver neon. The pieces were COOL but not BEAUTIFUL to me. I remember being WOWED by her outfits during TMB or BTWB.

I agree with you. The setlist and storyline should have been executed better but I think it was a bit rushed. Plus watching the SBHTS. Petga was nice especially for people and fans who notice Gaga after ARTPOP. 

Honestly I think what some of us consider a disappointment, others i.e. the general public might have thought that was the best Vegas residency they ever witness.

I'm not upset at the no new music thing but the fact that she hasn't changed the sound of the music she performed. No remixes, messy setlist, the wig :saladga:

Idk if i was expecting too much but it just didn't feel fresh. It felt like a mix of the worst parts of the jwt, coachella and artrave. 

she's going to keep that anime wig unless she changes the enigma video interlude

Can I just say, I am literally so shocked that people are having meltdowns over this. I LOVED enigma. It was like a mixture of TMB, BTWB and artRave. Aka her best tours. She had a mix of fan favorites and the production and stage was out of this world! We literally got a show with a storyline. I LOVE the anime aesthetic. The robot prop is amazing and Gaga literally flies through the audience TWICE! This seems like a Gaga experience made in little monster heaven and it’s somehow not good enough for some people?

I wouldn’t mind if she keeps it just as long as it’s restyled. I like the idea she was going for but it just looks a little party city-ish

The fact that I see on Twitter people complaining about the show they're not even attending...Sis shut up lmao

And the Setlist is PERFECT what did you all expect? Songs from ARTPOP that people didn't care about??? the residency is not just for the fans, and even after that, she's performed DITD, JUDAS, GOVERNMENT HOOKER and TEOG Studio version like what are yall talking about?????

I'd change some outfits, like that purple body it's really unflattering, but again stop complaining, she never promissed a new song or release, and if you're not even going to see her in Vegas literally shut up, you're just pissed that you're not able to go and wanted something new to at least have something to hold on. 

¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula?
