TEANUS 14,927 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 This was FXCKING AMAZING in every way. I literally let out an audible gasp when I realized the whole massive red “thing” in the middle was her AND THE DANCERS INSIDE THE MASSIVE “DRESS”!?!? Keep in mind yall Rio, Mexico, Singapore, and The Mayhem Ball will almost certainly be longer than Coachella. Festival setlists are almost always shorter than tour setlists. Not to mention Gaga has always been quite vocal about not doing the same thing twice. Obviously I’m sure lots of elements will be carried through, but I don’t see this show as is working on the road. It would be a little underwhelming in terms of staging for an arena tour. Maybe this set through Singapore and then a revamp? The fact that this prob isn’t all that we have coming in terms of live material most likely is a slay British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS 3 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy232000 11,130 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) A great show all in all. The first act was INSANE. I normally do not care for Gaga in a bob wig, but this one really integrated well with the set and outfits. I felt like I was watching Lady Macbeth. The trasitions and energy were off the charts and the song choices could not have been better. Then, when Garden of Eden started, HOLY ****. The arrangement, the energy, the choreo and pyro...hands down the best performance of the night for me. Then the chess sequence with Poker Face was an innovative way to give a new feeling to an almost 2 decade old song. After that is where the show starts to fall off...Perfect Celebrity was incredibly boring, and after that amazing transition I guess I expected more. Her lying on the sand with a walmart skeleton, and absolutely no camera or angle changes killed the energy...She picked it up back with Disease and Alejandro thankfully. But my biggest issue was the Killah - Zombieboy - DWAS - HBDUWM act. The whole vibe felt off and disjointed from the other acts. only Killah was a stand out. Performing with Gesaffelstein was amazing, but the rest was a no for me. I LOVE Paris'contributions for this era so far, but not doing an actual choreo for Zombieboy (even the tik tok dance would've been beter) IS A CRIME...A RICHY JACKSON level crime. Those skeletons really restricted everybody on that stage. And then, not singing DWAS fully and let it have its moment was a choise too. Really glad that after this act, we went back to the aesthetics and vibes of the first songs. Everything else onwards was amazing again except a few questionable choreos from Ms. Paris. Songs like SOAM have certain beats that need more than a hip thrust or fist bump to look cool. I guess they were trying to balance it out and not have Gaga over perform. Now, with the technical aspects, I hope they fix the audio and camera blocking for weekedn 2, because these two aspect were horrible. Whenever gaga would speak or start singing you could hear a very prominent delay in her voice, and I saw at least 6-7 shots where a cameraman got in the shot and blocked the view. A couple of glitches while switching from cemras too. They probably never got a chance to actually rehearse this more than once, so its understandable. Music Festivals never have good camera work.

Ladle Ghoulash 21,685 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 3 minutes ago, gagzus said: Probably because the problem with Gaga’s live choreographed performances has always been her breath control. If you look back at a LOT of her choreo heavy tours like BTWB and TMB, she’s constantly out of breath and her voice virtually disappears at points in the songs (and she sweats to high hell) when she’s dancing in every number. This way she has much better breath control AND can still dance during some numbers and it also means if she sweats less she needs less touch ups thus less transitioning time between numbers. Parris is her best choreographer and musical director bc she understands where Gaga’s strengths (her vocals) are and where her weaknesses are (breath control). Hard disagree about the vocals on MBT and BTWB. IMO her breath control was only ever sloppy during Enigma (and a bit during CBT). I think she’s recovered a lot of the fitness that was probably compromised due to fibro, but agreed that Parris has been amazing about helping Gaga create fast paced and high octane performances without running her into the ground We have forgotten our public MANNERS 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegidadedios 1,925 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) I honestly loved every bit of it. I see some complaining about how Zombieboy was performed but I've got to say the skeletons felt weird in a campy, classic horror movie way just as the track flows all along. It fits perfectly. The only thing missing for me would be Just Dance... Not that I like it that much, but it's a must on her catalogue and it would've fit perfectly right before Poker Face (even a mashup, she did that through the whole show so). I also liked the way HBDUWM was presented except for the lighting set up 🫤 like I know the song requires more color than the rest of the setlist but it kinda made me get off a bit. That being said, everything as a whole was top tier. The best she's ever been. Parris understood how Gaga works and it shows.

Lanaxster 37 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 WOW! Also, anyone noticed how she didn't spoil most of the choreos for the new songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanum 5,150 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Just now, misha4ever said: but how was she created if she was already mayhem? I don't know... It just felt like PF ending (Gaga's big breakout in real life) and the transition to PC where she lies in the sandbox is like the moment her demons manifested. Am I reading into it too much?

LaFama 4,617 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I’m sorry for the Mayhem haters cuz this show is designed to bring the album vision to life, she almost did the full album with some classics and proved how strong the material is. One of her best shows and a career highlight, the match between her and the new people on her team is beyond amazing and I’m happy to know that she might take this show around the world. Honestly what a time to be a little monster, we're living another peak on her career Its not a fedora u f*ck 3 3 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
