Suspiria 10,683 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 So I loved the majority of Enigma, but one of the most questionable things IMO was the opening... Yeah her coming in from the ceiling was a nice nod to her Superbowl performance, but why was she so stiff an lifeless? Why didn't she say anything? It was so awkward seeing her just dangling there limply not saying a word. Was she supposed to be a discoball or something? Or was it supposed to be like lowering a valuable statue into place? Either way I just thought it was an awkward and lifeless intro that didn't do justice to the rest of the show - and certainly doesn't live up to the rest of her tour intros...

ARTPOPRS 1,431 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I’m not sure how it’s any less awkward or lifeless compared to her past couple of tour intros... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DitaDolla 11,006 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I mean it's part of the storyline.. Gaga starts like a normal popstar in a vegas show, then ENIGMA teleports her to the ENIGMA planet to find her true, creative and artistic self She is winning again…. somehow she always stays here. I can’t stand it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joanne tour had AWFUL timing, they should've let it be silent for a few seconds after the clock lifted rather than just ramming Diamond Heart in. But she started singing basically the second you could see her so it wasnt awkward Artrave was epic... gracefully ascending onto the stage with that showstopping Versace outfit. It just felt a lot more graceful and 'dignified' than her just dangling there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn’t start her tours with huge dance breaks, standing like a statue dangling from the ceiling is just as lifeless as her standing like a statue on stage or standing like a statue rising from the stage. Just now, monster4life231 said: I've loved every one of her tour introductions! Me too. I’m not saying they’re bad, I’m just saying that Enigma doesn’t feel different from her other intros so calling it out for being lifeless and awkward while praising the others is strange to me.

Didymus 34,379 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Omg no I love that opening, why is it so hated. She looks like a ****ing alien superstar floating in space, ready to land and slay. And no, hun, she doesn't just land, she'll sing the first ****ing song flying over the crowd with a keytar. What's not to ****ing love? I also love how her body movements affect the lighting. I don't know, it's just a simple stunner imo. I'll take it any day over Joanne's wannabe rockstar opening, artRAVE's random "here I am, and I have wings" mess, or BTWB's boring as hell "let's take a ride around the stadium while you can barely see me" routine To me it's the best opening she's had since MB 2.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 21,060 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 She's not going to spin when she's got a keytar on her The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisTEAne 21,059 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 i had doubts about it when i first saw it, but after watching it in high quality, it's really stunning. i love the sharp contrast between the crazy, over-the-top expectations of a gaga show and the chilly lightness of the actual opening. it really fits, imo, because the whole show is very theatrical, and what's more theatrical than a slowly descending alien-star in a mirrored suit whose voice is literally in its hands. i think it kinda mirrors that state of inner stillness within the depths of the ocean that she was talking about in the actors on actors interview. she's calm, confident in herself, which is so poignantly present in her graceful pose: the crossed ankles. paradoxically, she's slowly rising from the top to the top of her game: the lady gaga simulation. i love it. if you hurt taylor swift, i'll hurt you back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
