faysalaaa 4,034 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Best: Abracadacra, Poker Face, Paparazzi, Perfect Celebrity Worst: Zombieboy, Shadow Of A Man, Born This Way + Just Dance, Telephone, Rain On Me, and Applause should have been included Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassionhills 99 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 i genuinely loved it all so much its hard to pick a favourite moment, but act 1 and act 2 were absolutely flawless to me. the riskiness of opening with an album track from over a decade ago at coachella paid of so well, the constant outfit reveals from bloody mary-scheisse, the chess game for poker face, the dirt/sand dancing for disease, the ethereal look and remix of paparazzi, the romantic romeo and juliet feel of alejandro... it was all so brilliant the only thing i would say is maybe she couldve added a non mayhem song in act 3 and done more than just one verse and chorus of die with a smile, but thats it. i think a cool hits medley of just dance/applause/telephone after zombieboy wouldve worked well 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Blonde 6,032 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The way Replay (Dorian Electra version) would've fit so well the show but she forgot Chromatica exists Don't you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpadesToStart 3,315 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Coolest staging of Poker Face she’s ever done. Disease choreography blew my mind. Zombieboy was fun, but feels a little unpolished. Probably will get better with her future shows. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicemuncher 1,698 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The show was clearly choreographed for the stream more so than the festival. Between Perfect Celebrity and Disease, the crowd could barely see her on stage for 8 minutes - I wouldn’t even bring this up if it was her tour, but for a festival with a varied crowd, I’m not sure I personally would have made that decision. That said, the rave reviews are likely based on that, so… I personally loved it, and my highlights were: • The Abra to Judas transition was fire • New Judas choreo with the 4 stabs (which you cannot convince me aren’t a dig at Richy) • The fact that she sprinkled in bits and pieces for the fans, like the Kill For Love bit • I LOVED seeing her so happy during Vanish Into You ❤️ My personal negative is the outfits. They were cute but there was very little separation from the background because they were neutral and matte. The majority needed to be rhinestoned HEAVILY to stand out. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I would have cut The Beast and Perfect Celebrity and replaced those with Applause and maybe Telephone or Just Dance. Festival goers want the hits. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheARTPOPball 319 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I thought perfect celebrity in the sand box was really cool. Bloody Mary was INSANE. Love abracadabra as always. I liked how bad do u want me. Vanish into you was probably some of my favorite vocals for the night. Shadow of a man was fun as always. I have no criticisms. I would have just felt very lucky to be there. This is definitely career highlight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 55,124 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Best Bloody Mary, Poker Face, Garden of Eden, Paparazzi, Shallow, Vanish Into You Worst Zombieboy, Shadow of a Man And I think it was the stream sound mix but the "Abracadbra" talky parts were too quiet especially the intro I wanted it to really go off Like a poem said by a neydy in red Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 37,698 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Best were several moments I loved. The whole intro from Bloody Mary to the new Poker Face was amazing. Paparazzi wow on another level, Killah also a standout performance. “Worst” I wouldn’t call it that because there were no bad moments, just personal picks: - Die With A Smile too short and barely there. - Shallow needs a rock revamp like Grammys performance. Doesn’t always have to be piano. - How Bad Do U Want Me. I simply don’t like this song that much but I get it’s so popular. Could’ve included LoveDrug instead or Alejandro/Don’t Call Tonight mash up. Maybe something from ARTPOP or Chromatica. GUY, ARTPOP or Applause but I get it, she focuses on Mayhem this year. Now the acoustic section: I hope she adds Happy Mistake here. I get it’s Coachella and she probably didn’t want to bring the energy down so hopefully that’s part of Mayhem Tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalOne 10,345 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The entire thing was amazing. Only here can you find negative things about the set. The locals on TikTok are praising it to the high heavens. I’ve ran into a ton of posts with hundreds of thousands of likes 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceminay 953 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I'm all for discussing and analyzing, but this was a stellar performance in every aspect, and trying to find negative aspects about it just seems cruel. I doubt anyone on this forum, in fact 99.9% of people on Earth could plan, imagine, dance, sing, and execute such an iconic performance all at the same time. I only see such negativity on this forum, and I'm never the one to hide if I don't like something. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelduuh 413 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Everything was perfect, nothing that I didn't like. Some of you are really annoying complaining about Gaga's best performance to date. There's really no comparison. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
