NightStar 312 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I really love how it is remarkably different from Joanne tour. Something about her stage presence has changed in such a way that there appeared a feeling of otherworldly stardom godliness about her, it's like she's broken into that league of Madonna and MJ finest tour grandeur. I enjoyed the concentration of music, the overall speed in this tour and how she reinvented her dance practice without hurting her stage presence. As always, pleasantly surprised by her aesthetic choices, for I, like, I bet, many of us, suspected her to wear the outfits similar to her VMA 2020 performance. Overall, it felt like she has told a story through more mature non-verbal means like lights, interludes and music, and I really enjoyed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilboyblue 3,815 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Loved it! A little rough around the edges sure, but I think this will improve as the tour goes on. I bet she changes a few songs around, maybe give Enigma a choreo and proper staging. Gaga herself I feel is still trying to get back onto the saddle. The fact there was a time she thought she would never tour again must mean she probably didn't believe she could do anything like this anymore. Her little speech during ARUTW was very heartfelt. Vocally, very impressive also! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pussycat 3,513 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 A whole other level of entertainment but felt so unpersonal tbh i felt no deep connection with her. Just song after song after song.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burqa4Fashion 35 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 1) I hope I don’t sound (too) selfish, but if ARTPOP is such a difficult era for Gaga to revisit, I wish she would release a formal statement addressing die-hard fans of the album and say that she does not plan on performing songs from that album live again. I know, I know — she doesn’t owe us anything like that, but I hoped she’d do some fan service after last year’s #Justice4ARTPOP success. I’m just sad I missed my chance to put my “V’s up” during a performance of “Venus.” 2) The setlist, in general, is odd. Opening with a huge hit that isn’t from Chromatica is very best-of/farewell tour vibes. Then following that with two more non-Chromatica songs before a Chromatica song is underwhelming. I respect her vision, but as a fan, I’m just disappointed and a little confused. (The intro, however, looks incredible!) 3) Help me out — what happens with the stage? It may be bigger than the BTW castle, but… does it do anything? The hype around the stage was wild for no specific elements to be reported on. Also, does she really not go on the two “catwalks”??

badfaith 5,673 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Everything was fcking great! Her vocals started pretty rocky but she slayed for the rest of it. The only things I wished to be changed tho are: - More interaction with fans - HMH put in the piano section, and Babylon as closer - More lights!!!!! I feel like the stage was lacking so much that I really wanted the lights to pop off, especially during Enigma up to the last Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Gaga 7,989 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Positive: Best Visual, she interacts with the camera, as if making a live music video for each song -serving monster ball 3.0 and btwb 2.0 looks , the finale act look is literally straight out from the BTW album cover -she served rested vocal and lots of choreo Negative: random setlist, i may need some time to understand -some parts feel rushed, one song after another, and after that she disappeared, not much taking -ACT I, II started well, but then feels like no story and narration attached -as long as i love the looks and everything, but this feels more like Hits Concert , rather than Chromatica Ball (which this is how enigma should be ) also I am so happy that THAT gaga is final back after 2011 , to be honest enigma Ga feels forced and not the gaga we know , but today she is back Rating 9/10 Hit me a message and say hi !

2School4Cool 6,065 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I’ve just seen small clips here and there, but it looks STUNNING!!! I can imagine people being upset about no ARTPOP representation but I still think it looks incredible. So beyond jealous of those who get to attend the tour. Absolutely floored by the outfits, visuals, etc. that I’ve seen. See The Best In Everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanadelduck 1,924 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I thought she was unbelievable and amazing and I watched on potato quality. I’m going to three shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORG 4,756 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It looks amazing. She is giving me everything I wanted (except SFA)..

Jack3257 683 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 My thoughts (keep in mind I just watched the stream) -Opening was EPIC, but I wish she would have come out of the "cage" and had some quick changes sooner and made the BR and JD more energetic. -Some narration over the interludes could have been cool, explaining the "museum of brutality." -Swap LoveGame for Paparazzi. This tour low-key has the aesthetic of every Paparazzi performance, yet the song got cut. -I feel like the piano section might change a bit as the tour goes on. Not a full on Taylor Swift "surprise song moment," but maybe how Katy handled it with Witness. Wouldn't be shocked if ARUTW and TEOG get swapped for MR and Yoü and I -Just imagine if after Hold My Hand she went into Applause and then ended with Sine From Above. Just saying, that could have been epic. -Wish their were more opportunities for crowd interaction. -I think this tour had the right balance of "story." Clear concept and statement, but no messy narrative like Enigma. -WE BETTER GET A PROSHOT THAT GETS PROFESSIONALLY RELEASED. -Would not mind if she swapped Alice and Bad Romance in the setlist. -I could see her brining this show to Vegas in 2023.

Its like half of Chromatica, all the TF+M singles (minus Paparazzi + Alejandro), Monster, BTW + EOG, and 2 ASIB songs. Plus HMH as encore It's the only bad thing about the show IMO, but its reallyyyy bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pussycat 3,513 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 No props, no speeches, mature theatrics, less gay,.. She reinvented herself. She 'warned' us in her insta stream. I'm here for growth but it does feel bittersweet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
