That's a lot tbh

And it's not like she's singing all her old singles fully. All those are shortened besides Bad Romance. Almost half the concert is shortened songs.

Edit: Also don't forget that Hair is shortened as well...

If those are all shortened, then which ones are the full versions? I haven't really kept up with this tour, so I'm not sure which songs she sings. I know she cut Paparazzi at the recent shows.

Full of BTW are:

Born this way

Black Jesus + Amen Fashion

Bloody Mary

Heavy Metal Lover

Americano

Scheiße

The Edge of Glory

oh and EC is also shortened

[JPM 781]

This with the shorting is quite a good strategy, though, but she has shortened YAI and TQ as well, the only artists in history of music that use so much shortened songs are Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Gaga. Beyonce sings almost everything shortened.

That MTN acoustic version in San Jose was just so anti-climatic and I would have been pissed if she sang that version on my show.

but I'm here for MTN how she performed it here http://www.youtube.c...h?v=RbDLwutyYmw but this time the whole song without bringing fans on stage they ruin the whole amazement of the performance of that song

This.

AMEN. This b---h better get her **** together. I have followed Gaga since her early days playing the Round Up in Dallas and have seen countless shows. But, this BTW Ball is just getting lamer. Talk about ending on a low-note. I want slayage. Or else I'll bail for M completely. :ohno:

She sings the acoustic version when she's running out of time though.

About the shortened songs, you have to consider that the show is really long already. Just a few pop tours are as long as the BTWB. She has to shorten songs in order to fit more songs in the setlist. She even had to cut pretty much her longest speech.

She has performed the acoustic version of MTN for the past 4 balls... I don't think it has to do with time because in LA she came on at about 8:35 and she still did the acoustic version..

I don't know about that. Perhaps she just sings the album version when she's not too tired to dance, but who knows... She has sung both versions pretty randomly since her show in Mexico.

She's not short on time. She's been going on early if anything.

Gaga is sick, and from what I can gather, her security thinks something is up. This is from witnessing her puking, and being screamed at for hugging her.

[ChristianSaad 661]

Who knows maybe she wants to end on an anti-climactic note.. there's a ton of opera music throughout the night anyway

[babekitty 1]

As others have mentioned, I think that it's more likely she sings the acoustic version when she is exhausted at the end of the concert.

The first north american boxscores are out...

rogers arena

should've done rogers centre (calm yo tits- i know it's in toronto but it's an INDOOR stadium) for all of canada then! even justin bieber did that massive venue for 43000 people

but america- hmm.

tacoma dome should've had 17000 or something. but attendance is similar to telenor arena, norway (both are the biggest indoor arenas outside russia and japan). approx 14000.

hp pavillion- 11000 only?

rose garden- 8800? what is this, monster ball 1.0? :deadbanana:

May I ask a question? I know that it's really too early to think about it, but do you think that in relatively small cities like Portland the show will witness kinda smaller attendance compared to her 2011 Monster Ball Leg because the media blackout did influence her hotness in such territories (Central America, for example) ?
