What was that

[adamsenigma 9,520]

Ok so hear me out, before you come for me or whatever, I adore Gaga and I will FOREVER support her ass, but man, I'm disappointed AF after tonight's show. 1st thing, I think Gaga and her team did something terrible: Not say what her performance was gonna be. I say Enigma live last year, and even tho it's far from being her best show, it's kinda entertaining. Now, I waited for months these performance, tonight I stayed up late, and I KNEW the chances of it being Enigma were high, but I thought, "hey, if she does that she might change a thing or two, right?" and, to my kind-of-no-surprise, she did not change anything, she just made the show worse. No full setlist, same old song arrengments, same old choreo, same old looks, same old everything, she  couldn't even bring proper props... That stool during Aura was laughable honestly. The only thing I liked was the Paparazzi performance cuz they changed it a bit since there was no cage for Gaga to fly around the venue. 

It's so weird to me that Gaga hasn't changed anything about the show, knowing that most of her own fans don't really like it, but it makes money to her bank so **** off with her fans opinions, right? Gaga is an artist, and in every show (before Enigma started)  we would get something new, some change in her shows, etc. Now that's weird to me, I feel like Gaga WANTS to up her game with this show, but contractually she is not allowed, maybe, but it seems odd, why wouldn't they let her change her outfits or whatever? It's been MORE of a year with Enigma and no changes, not to mention Gaga's weird stage presence lately, she's like constantly trying to sound cool and a "baddie" during the whole show but it comes off as cringey, the segments where she talks ("flip me off" I'm looking at you) feel so forced and not good at all. Also, why is Gaga dancing like she has seizures? I know it's not a good way to express how I feel about her dancing and I know it might be because of her body pain, but her moves are not sharp at all, they are not as intricate as they used to and she no longer posses that "iconic bad bitch" energy she EXUDED in the past, and it's sad for me to see.

Now, at this point I know most of y'all are hating me, bit it's my opinion on this whole situation. I love Gaga and I have fully supported her since 2011, but as a fan, I must express how I feel about her work, cuz I'm the one paying for it, I'm the one paying for a show so I think Gaga and her team should take fan criticism as something to improve what they are doing, and I truthfully believe Enigma is a stain in Gaga's performance reputation. 

All of this is just my opinion, and i hope you all understand, and Gaga, if you ever read this, I love you from the bottom of my heart, but please hear out suggestions like you used to in the past.

First off I'd like to say thank you so much for setting my edit of Enema as your pfp, I'll edit this in a little bit with a better response on what you said  

 

Edit: Ok, I understand, but trust me, she's doing this to prepare us for what's coming. She's using up the first Enigma as much as possible before she gets to make a completely new show that's ever better and fresher and will probably be the show that gets professionally recorded for a DVD or something. Just stay strong and keep holding on 

Also you can't say there were no changes, she has the new face makeup for Bad Romance

a performance

I think it’s not that serious. They paid her, she had to perform, she performed what she had. That’s it. Bling not the music in this case + they got promo for BTWF

Yes, exactly, that's the problem with Gaga rn, she is SO money driven, it's crazy. But good for BTWF, it's a nice thing and I love her for always spreading her message.

You EXTRA lost me here.

i honestly agree with your critiques about enigma. it was messy and cringey at points. 90% of the dialogue was cringe and she just seemed like a parody of herself. her dancing, ive let that go now knowing how much chronic pain she deals with but it's def not where it use to be. and i know i'll get a lot of flack for saying this but she did struggle vocally a lot tonight. that's not to say she didn't have amazing moments, but she seemed to struggle and was out of shape/breath a lot. i think gaga was just so amazing in her early days that now it's hard to match that

[Daylight Jokers 14,958]

I enjoyed the show. This was the first time I ever watched Gaga perform in real time and I enjoyed each and every moment of it. I don't even think it's fair to complain that she didn't change anything since not everybody has seen Enigma in Vegas anyway, and the only available videos of the show we have online weren't professional recording.

[zerojk 4,954]

Gaga is amazing

its just Enigma that doesn’t do justice to her... They need to rework the concept ASAP

[Zander 14,910]

I can't believe people were expecting her to do something new, why would she, what is the logic that she would? She still has her residency with Enigma so of course she's gonna perform the version of Enigma that she always does at gigs outside Vegas, and we got to see it professionally recorded. That's good enough for me.

I understand your opinion, but there are so many reasons to explain why we received the same show. 

1. The entire idea of Enigma is a continuation of what we got at the Super Bowl in 2017. So it will only make sense to get another Enigma show today.

2. Due to Gaga’s condition and age, she is not going to stress or overwork herself by giving us something different every time like back in 2011. 

3. I am sure now she exposed and did an Enigma show on livestream. Her 2020 Vegas shows will probably have major changes.

Most of her fans don’t really like it...

My eyes rolled so hard they are upside down.

I quite enjoyed the show and I'm not too fond of Enigma. I even watched that entire cringy "flip me off" part. It was entertaining.

[GypsyBabe 22,836]

At least we got a professional recording of part of Enigma...because we know she would rather eat nails than give us a concert video.

Exactly, I feel like it really is time to understand that Gaga will never be able to reach that creative peak again since her body and mental space won't let her. I just hope LG6 proves us all wrong.
