I agree that some pitch correction was used but it's so minor I doubt much of the GP will notice.

Her voice is quite clearly incredible, and I love how controlled she is with the rock rasp. Most people that try to emulate this sound have a hard time turning it off and on.

Her airy head voice is really lovely in the performance too.

Very very happy that we're getting these vocals 16 years into her career!

How does she sound exactly and even slightly better than She does on the record

I am actually quite relieved others have mentioned it before me, but yeah, there certainly is some pitch correction going on. Even if it is still on the more subtle side, it was evident to me from the first word she sang. Now we don't know if that tuning was on the microphone already when she performed it live, or if it was added in post processing, but it is there, fact.

We all know Gaga is an excellent vocalist, and she rarely ever uses pitch correction during live performances. Most of the time, like on the Chromatica Ball HBO thing, it is added in post. So, she has got nothing to prove, but still, pitch correction is the bane of every genuine live performance... so as magnificent as her vocals are, the pitch correction kills some of the emotion, as it tends to make voices sound cold and artificial. Maybe she used it deliberately as an "effect" more than correction, who knows?

Anyway, great performance, fantastic vocals, whatever tuning is going on is unfortunate, but not a deal breaker! Even metal bands use pitch correction for official concert releases, and that's much more of an issue, as they often preach about the genuineness of live performances and such... So, everyone is in on it.

I feel like vomiting reading those nitpicks as if those pretentious phags don't consume music from artists who use auto-tune even for their breaths and can't barely hold a note live, buttttttt

suddenly it becomes an "unfortunate" event when it was used (if it was even) in one minor split of a second on this live performance :sick:

I fear another purge is coming as the new era dawns upon us :cheeky:

Listen, you might be ok living in your fairy glitter world of denial, but personally, I'd rather acknowledge something I am not fond of, than be such an ignoramus like you, calling out those who state the obvious in a derogatory way. Not with one word did I put down Gaga or her vocal abilities, nor said that the performance is an unfortunate event. I simply stated that to my personal liking, the use of pitch correction (which cannot be denied) is unfortunate. That's all, and if you cannot bear the truth without getting insulting towards others, be off to your fairy glitter world of denial. Reality won't miss you.

I guess the kindness y'all are preaching doesn't apply to people of different opinion than your own. Sheesh!

FYI, it's obvious that there was a reverb or mic enhancement effect or so whatever, it was acknowledged by MANY of us. We are not IDIOTS so don't encase us under that definition. And yes you STATED in an online forum about your OPINION and OBVIOUSLY, it will be met with other clashing opinions, so as we are speaking of right now. And please, you speaking of the truth like what part that we are not aware? And I'm not bothered in the least, rather I was disgusted. 

Can't you for once just be happy? like genuinely?

This performance has given me an appreciation for the song even more. I can’t get over how great she sounds. It feels like she’s really singing from her soul. I’m so moved it made me emotional :giveup:

Oh so you edited and added a few more sentences? Sheesh?

Lol stop playing the victim, you KNOW what you are getting into. Like kindness begets kindness, I didn't even quote you or something, you are the one who attacked me directly. I guess KINDNESS will only apply if it favors you  :cheeky:

Having different opinions is one thing. Replying to anothers opinion like you did is something I cannot tolerate. You wrote things like "I feel like vomiting reading those nitpicks as if those pretentious phags don't consume music from artists who use auto-tune even for their breaths and can't barely hold a note live", which is highly aggressive, insulting and not at all a normal statement of your own opinion. What do YOU expect to be met with, when formulating and posting such a snarky and hateful post on an online forum? You preach about different opinions, when you are the one who gets aggressive, then defensive once you are called out. Shaking my head. 

And why do you assume I am not genuinely happy with Gaga's performance? Trust me, it's playing non-stop, and yes, I am mature enough to acknowledge something I do not like, but not make a fuss about it. I simply stated what I hear, and moved on. Unlike someone else...
