Now that we have seen the Chromatica Ball, what do you think the best and worst things of every Gaga solo show are? In my opinion:

 

The Fame Ball Tour

Best: arrangements (many songs on the setlist were remixed/rearranged: Paparazzi reworked and the rock elements in Poker Face with guitar solos like in Glastonbury were dope) 

Worst: show overall (it was very short and she didn't perform half of The Fame anyways)

 

The Monster Ball Tour

Best: concept (it's still her most cohesive show and the storyline told with songs, albeit campy, is solid) 

Worst: idk, maybe the dancing was a bit stiff? 

 

The Born This Way Ball Tour

Best: stage (the castle itself, the way it was exploited for the show still has some flaws imo) 

Worst: vocals (not necessarily true but I think her vocals really improved after this tour, she sounded tired in many shows due to the intense setlist, costume changes and all the stuff that literally broke her) 

 

ArtRave: The ARTPOP Ball Tour

Best: lighting (the light work was really on point) 

Worst: arrangements (too many shortened songs)

 

The Joanne World Tour

Best: vocals (nothing to declare here) 

Worst: opening (wasn't a fan of the opening being a drum roll and her standing on a platform) 

 

Enigma: The Las Vegas Residency

Best: backdops (the images on the screen are really immersive when experienced live) 

Worst: storyline and outfits (the storyline felt like it was thought out in half an hour and the outfits, while not being as horrendous as many people on here claim, are definitely not on par with the past ones)

 

The Chromatica Ball

Best: visuals overall (they are a masterpiece, the best she has ever done) 

Worst: stage (not complaining about it being basic - which is not - but you can't deny the boxed look blocks the view for many people in the audience)

 

Share your thoughts and keep it polite, or Imma find you and bite your head off

Regarding the first tour, why was it so short?  I would think she would perform most of the album since it was her first.

But if we compare the MBT with the JWT there's a difference. 

Totally but I wouldn't call TMB inexperienced on that measure. Like, she was still a pretty damn talented singer; just *less experienced. I mean, the vocal training she had gone through in the years leading up to the JWT were something else entirely

I really don't know but she was way less skilled back then so it could be a combination of budget + creative control restrictions

Am I the only one that thinks the opening song for the Chromatica ball was a terrible choice? I’ve always adored her dramatic introductions and opening with an album track. It feels like she wanted to get the hits out of the way, but at that point, include them in the encore or give it a piano slot.

As much as I love The Born This Way Ball, and still see it as the greatest show ever for the theatrics and storyline alone, I think that the show starts to lose steam during the Americano - Poker Face - Alejandro section. (Thankfully the final section starting from Paparazzi picks the show back up)

The show would have benefitted a lot from being more concise. (i.e. removing that whole section)
