Fanta 5,019 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Witnessing her (on live lol) performing Enigma live was absolutely incredible. The energy was through the roof, that song was MADE to be performed in a stadium - one of her best songs ever! I thought the interludes and stage were absolutely incredible - they, and Gaga’s vocals and stage presence, carried the show. The choreo wasn’t the best (not her performance of it, but the choreo in general) and neither were the outfits. There were some GOOD moments of those like during Babylon and Alice, but besides that they were more on the average side. Overall great show, I just wish the encore was more high energy. I was confused for a bit at the end, unsure whether it ended or not. However, all in all the highlight for me was seeing how happy she was to perform and interact with fans again. It was actually beautiful, and that’s all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Also, idk if I missed it but was there a linear plotline for the show? Or was it more abstract? 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiria 10,683 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 In some ways I'd say its her 2nd best tour. Everything looks soooo elevated and sophisticated. Its like classic Gaga but more mature. The subtle references to her past. The interludes are her best ever, the makeup and hair is beyond sickening. The production was top tier, it all just felt so polished and cohesive and beautiful. I feel like these are the visuals the album shouldve had all along. The sound design, the atmosphere, the lighting. And the camerawork when she was going through the crowd in FW, her face omggggg she looks incredible. She didn't sound her best and there was almost no fan interaction, but that's always the case with the first show, I'm sure she'll get better with each one. The setlist totally sucked though lol. Missing a chunk of Chromatica, no ARTPOP (after the whole petition? Is she insane?). We really did not need telephone or lovegame, like seriously who is asking for those. If she has to do TF/M why not paparazzi at least. Even the order of some songs just didn't feel right, like BTW piano-BTW dance-then back to piano. Idk, I really hope there are changes because the setlist is really not good IMO. Also the finale outfit was so underwhelming. A leather jacket lmao? Overall though I love it. I really feel like this is the content I always wanted from her. I hope she's so proud of this show, it's amazing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roronoa Zoro 109 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I only find 3 problems: - the stage. i cannot believe she blocked the side view, that's ok with arenas but not stadiums. Also she barely used the runways. - love game and telephone on the setlist instead ARTPOP songs or SFA. - the end. let's accept hmh it's not as good as shallow, it's not that cool to use it as the last song.

ThisBitch 3,436 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm in awe! This is everything I wanted since TMB/BTWB. A grown up show with amazing visuals and great vocals. Her Alice/Replay/Monster look was my fave. I can't wait to experience this next week in Paris! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSYCHOSHTICK 2,583 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I LOVED IT! Aesthetically she is giving us a darker version of Chromatica, more of a 'mature version' than the anime/fantasy-world she tried to release in 2020. With the interludes she gave us what we want: ShowStudio with Gareth Pugh outfits and everything. (I need them released asap!) We wanted 'DarkGa', we got it. The whole look and feel of the aesthetic kinda makes me think of the original LG5-idea we had. Very AHS, especially hair and makeup. The first three looks were kinda like an 'evolved' version of The Fame Monster. Storytelling-wise it is a more mature and artistic version of Enigma: starting off as a 'normal Lady Gaga show' and then something happens and she goes through stages of healing - exactly like Enigma. It's a beautiful story about healing from trauma. The interludes and Chromatica songs she choose we're doing most of the work when it comes to that, because... [Negative feedback] When it comes to her interaction, she didn't seem like herself. Yes, she was happy and on top of her game energy-wise. She looked fantastic. I am not complaining. But she BARELY spoke to the audience. And in that way it felt like a bunch of songs, back to back. There was almost no interaction with the audience, compared to what we're used to. Maybe it's because I watched the Monster Ball and Born This Way Ball to hype myself all day, but I felt like I was watching some other pop star. Which saddens me a bit because I've been a hardcore fan since 2008. The way she just walked off felt really strange, so strange that it felt almost 'polite' of her to come back for another bow. The stage itself looks great but she is mostly on the main stage or on the B-stage. The runways were barely used, which is too bad. So it kinda feels like they missed the potential to do something extra with it. Alright, go ahead, stone me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Brink 1,501 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 She should add Sine From Above after Hold My Hand and the show can end with its chaotic outro and end with her saying “GOODNIGHT!” Like she does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It looks incredible! Great visuals and vocals, I’m so hyped to go. Little bit gutted at some of the Chromatica tracks not making the track list, I wanted Fun Tonight so badly but we move I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENlGMA 5,291 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Gosh she was really in her elements like Monster Ball and Born This Way Ball. Her energy was amazing! I can tell she really missed performing. It was just amazing I really felt like i am watching the classic Gaga with her crazy, i don’t give a f*ck attitude which it was something I’ve missed for years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
