This was Gaga's first heel-less tour and that doesn't sit right with me. 

Her muscles and body pain were grateful to her though

Now, I'm not trying to be overly negative, but...

It's her worst tour

The stage was awful, especially the flying runways, they completely blocked the view. I was standing right underneath one of the small stages and I couldn't see her at all, they were way to high. I liked the moving platforms on the main stage tho.

I didn't like the outfits, they were boring and some of them were ugly

Interludes and her vocals were the best part of JWT

I am really thankful to her for putting up the show for us despite not feeling very well, but I really felt that something was off and it was hard to enjoy

I haven't seen Enigma live, but it looks more fun than JWT

Aged terribly tbh. 
 

second best stage after BTWB

best vocals over all 

best hair style 

the setlist falls flat after all these years in my opinion

[MelbHawker 6,525]

I’ve never seen it fully

[Babylon Dynasty 1,717]

imo she should've added every Joanne song, delete Telephone. make it more Joanne lol

[Pennywise 35,628]

It’s not very “Gaga”, feels very… generic pop star girlie tour. Like, as if you looked at a Madonna or Beyoncé concert and said “hey, let’s do this but in a boring way”. All the other tours of Gaga have something unique (except Enigma but that wasn’t a tour anyway), but JWT, apart from Gaga’s obvious talent, feels bland.

This tour is very underrated by Gaga fans
Perfect Illusion should've been the opener 100%
Her leaving the stage and letting the Joanne hat on the piano bench with light on it is probably her best stage exit, it's such a beautiful moment

I actually went to this tour, and while I enjoyed it, its not even close to being as good as her other tours. Her other tours felt like a life changing experience that you will never forget.

Seconded. It’s an excellent show, but nowhere near top tier imo 

[gumzy3000 6,632]

All around a great show and the bridges that extended into the crowd from the roof was one of the coolest things I ever saw 

[Gagaplayer315 12,692]

Diamond Heart as the opener was a choice 

The white skirt she wore for Born This Way made no sense 

The outfit for the Joanne/Angel down segment was SO UGLY 

Dancin In Circles got redeemed by its performance 

[MOT 2,246]

Have only seen it on ytube but absolutely love it. Highlights :

Scheibe

Applause

Piano segment

Red segment

Million Reasons closer

Her voice - the best I've heard from her. I carry no baggage about her voice by the way. I've only been a fan for four years, so I consumed everything in one big continuous splurge, and I rate JWT as the peak.

Not sure if this is unpopular, but Paparazzi -> Angel Down is arguably one of her best tour moments ever.

[2School4Cool 5,389]

Her best tour setlist. Greatest hits mixed with old fan favorites and a large amount of the new album. She really struck a perfect balance.

[TimotheeChalamet 3,559]

Unpopular opinion about my show in particular: the Versace outfit she debuted for Millions Reasons was terrible 😂 but it was a surprise 

[Future Lovers 5,873]

My unpopular opinion is that it's her most polished and organized show to date. It isn't her best show, but every other show of hers has been messy whether it be the setlist, staging, themes, or a combination of all of those. In some cases such as Monster Ball and BTWB, that messiness worked in the show's favor. In some cases like ArtRave and Enigma especially, it didn't. But JWT is a very concise, streamlined, well structured show from start to finish and as such it does feel a bit more clinical, but it also feels the most complete.
