The biggest problem of Gaga and her team

[adamsenigma 9,520]

Ok so I'll go straight to the point. Have you guys noticed that Gaga and her team, specially her team, always hype their projects to such a level that when the actual product or project is born then there's usually a lot of dissapointment within us? The last and most recent example is Enigma, and don't get me wrong, I love the show and I think it's fun, but even Gaga herself said in that japenese interview that Enigma would use a lot of "technologies" and I can't help but wonder where are they? A lot of people thought the Motion Capture would be used for some kind of holographic peeformance or stuff like that but in reality it was used to create a talking entity on a screen, which is something she already did in 2013 with PetGa. The Scheiße robot is not even a robot cuz her dancers are moving it and the stage doesn't even look groundbreaking and it kinda looks cheap, it doesn't have any platforms or stuff like that except for the cage that's hanging from the ceiling. So, what do you think they meant with "groundbreaking", "vegas will never be the same", and the use of "modern technologies"?

I think her show was hyped perfectly… it’s yall that are the problem thinking she’s about to bring MJ himself from the grave to collab w her live on stage.

Im sure it’s ground breaking in its own way, and idk what show you watched, but the tech was modern (means current, not futuristic fyi). Y’all really thought she was coming w a hologram bc it looks like some of y’all don’t know a lot about modern tech, and claim everything is made my Intel (not the only tech company bye) when they’ve never said anything about their involvement. (True holograms aren’t here yet bc we can’t figure out a way to stop light but that’s going off)

The show is different from other Vegas residencies because it’s almost like a musical. It’s a full story connected by songs, filled with dialogue and interaction. No one ever said there would be holograms on stage lol that’s on you.

Exactly. People really thought she was going to do a 6 hour live performance of her entire discography, drop a new album, and hover from Las Vegas to NYC and back.

Not her fault that some of y'all have unrealistic expectation.

Neither Gaga or her team ever said something that "hype to such a level" about ENIGMA. They did just enough. But it is y'all who let imagination runs wild.

the tea sis, the show is boring asf

[Doncho 27,241]

If you think Enigma is boring or bad, then please take a look back at the other Gaga tours. Its literally in the same style, wich most of us love. 

This happens when every tour starts... monsters are always expecting "more" from Gaga. The show is perfectly fine and critics love it already. Enigma is like a dream Gaga tour: Crazy costumes, wigs, lot of choreo, great lightning, visuals, Gaga flying, a gigantic robot, fan favorite songs, a story. It was made for the fans

[adamsenigma 9,520]

Just fyi, I never said I expected her to do some revolutionary **** on Las Vegas  The show itself is entertaining and I personally enjoy it, but I'm just pointing out how they said the show was using a lot of technologies and stuff when it doesn't really do much, it's a shapeless and ugly stage imo that could've looked way better and had a lot of potential.

The main and almost only reason I enjoy the show is because Gaga herself is THE show, but still, it can improve. It's just an opinion and I hope y'all won't attack me for it. 

[andy232000 11,363]

I think it was hyped appropriatedly in this ocation soley. But I agree, they tend to overhype stuff. just this time I think the only hype that was misunderstood was the motion capture suit (but that doesnt meant holograms. that was just what people assumed) 

[Lord Temptation 11,209]

People who love to complain did exactly THAT. Nothing has changed

those huge led screens and thousands of lights ain't cheap

[Guest Anisko]

Reading some comments can sometimes be so annoying specially those who's coming from the ones who blame fans for everything...  

Gaga is soooo talented and i love her sooo much but she's not perfect and she have some big problems that need to be solved with her "yaaas gaga" team...  

STOP BLAMING THE FANS .. WE'RE NOT HATERS

Well its ok to not like it. Its an opinion. BUT I think you took "technology" as something revolutionary. It doesnt need to be that. There is a lot of technology on these kind of shows. Im sure you would love it if you where there in person watching the show

Expect gaga and her team doesn't actually hype things up (atleast not since ARTPOP) she barely says anything about her upcoming projects nowdays before they are released then as soon as she teases something in any way monsters get hyped for nothing and then get disappointed it doesn't meet their unrealistic expectations when it's released 

[Didymus 34,379]

I think Gaga just doesn't understand her own potential. It genuinely baffles me that she thinks she has to dance a whole night of pop choreographies to call something a show, it's like... weren't you gonna revolutionize pop culture? Why are you still playing by the boring rules You could do so much different stuff, spend your money differently and wow us properly.

I mean, it's not normal some fans have to belittle other fans for having "unrealistic" expectations. Why is it a good thing to expect her to do the same show over and over again? Why should it be right to not be ambitious in our own imagination? Why is it so wrong of us to want to be wowed? She took my breath away countless times already, I know she can do it. And it's not a question of money, it's how you spend it. And I just don't like her spending it all on boring designs or a stage that actually is not that impressive even though it may be expensive I just want to see something I know another pop chick couldn't have come up with. That's why I keep an eye on her in the first place.

So yeah, I'd say she's just not bold enough. She seems to have lost some of her edge. Like, seriously, imagine Katy or Ari performed this exact Vegas show. There's no doubt in my mind that more than half of the people in these threads being all "the show is so great your expectations ruined it" would do a complete 180 and would trash that show to the depths and beyond  And it's kind of sad that Gaga doesn't realize that herself when she's designing these performances. Would she herself be wowed if she saw a show like that? I really don't think so.
