To me it felt like her voice got really tired at Kill for Love and after that she was struggling until the end of the show. Hope all is well. 

But tired or her voice giving out?
 

Cause honestly, she never performs Kill For Love good. It’s a hard song and she’s always missing/sharp on many times with this one. I’d be concerned if it were like her voice giving out completely halfway through a note. I saw a clip of Hair and she sounded exactly like always

I thought she sounded great from where I was sitting. I did notice a couple moments of what sounded like strain, though. 

My friend and I were convinced we were getting an ARTPOP track with how many times she mentioned Chicago being special to the ARTPOP era.

She skipped most high notes and sang lower after Kill for Love was peformed. It was pretty obvious during Hair, Die With a Smile and Vanish Into You. Yet, she still gave everything she had to give. I love her so much!

I'm starting to get worried about the european leg of the tour. I watched some of tonights videos and she already started skipping some of the high notes during the first act. Later, especially during Hair her voice starts to struggle a lot.

She has 10 days between Chicago and London to rest her voice, which is good. But it's still kinda worrying looking at the tight schedule that is coming up ahead.

She started doing that since the nyc shows, singing lower. Maybe it’s the compromise she has to make in order to finish this tour. I’ll choose to believe it’s totally intentional and not because she’s still strained. She also hasn’t had real time to rest. I think the most she’s gotten is 3 days tops. Hopefully after Chicago she really goes into strict vocal rest for the two weeks she has off

I felt like her voice started to get better and better with each show... until tonight. I can imagine how tired she might be and I hope she gets her deserved rest. I'm seeing her at Stockholm and hoping for the best.

I had the best time ever. Felt bad for all the screaming the neighboring people had to endure but that’s too bad!! Love celebrating this album with all the fellow monsters in the crowd. 🥹 3rd concert I’ve been to after ARTRave and Joanne Tour! First time going solo and felt like I got to experience what I missed from the Monster Ball and Born This Way ball in terms of production and scale. She is the best and I’ll be a Stan until I’m dead.  I love you GAGA!! 💕

That’s why I feel she needs a more extended break. Her voice was really recovering over the last few shows but after back to back dates maybe it’s taking minor hit again. I just checked the rest of the tour stops and “thankfully” she never has more than two back to back dates anymore and always a 2-3 day break in between cities. There’s even a few longer breaks with 6-7 days. I’m guessing she’ll continue to sing low harmonies and doge a few notes with the exception of the cities where she gets a good extended break before. I’m glad my London date is the second European date right after a two week break. I assume and hope she’ll be 100% back by that particular date.

I also don’t think she would’ve extended the tour had she thought she couldn’t handle it. Maybe we are just worrying more than we need to.

You can tell she was reserving high notes for certain parts. Still 10/10. We got Fashion of His Love as the bow down song and regardless of her voice and those struggles she was still feeling herself, gave everything, the crowd did not stop screaming the entire night, and it was everything. And I was at Mayhem in the Desert and The Mayhem Ball eats those promotional shows for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a Midnight snack.

I'd wait 30 more minutes for a stream to pop up. It's only a little after 8 in Chicago. 

[Bobina 3,270]

Ugh, there's still nothing for me
