NewHairTeaJeans 137 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Best: Garden of Eden The groovy dance, the chorus, and the breakdance, not to mention the operatic earworm intro. It's at the top of the list Worst: Die with a smile Like on the album, it felt like a last minute addition 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand people, they will never be happy with anything she does The show was one of the best ever Quoting me in particular when many people have expressed the same opinions throughout the thread is a choice but go off I guess Acts I and II use a brilliant combination of stage design, choreography, camera work and storytelling, and it just goes away after that, it's just a fact. It makes the show unbalanced. Half of what makes Perfect Celebrity good is the hard grunge vocals. The Beast had a cool concept and sounded great with the choir but was cut short. And it's probably one of, if not the concert where the studio/acoustic ratio was the lowest. It probably could have helped if it had been longer and earlier, as she was clearly starting to lose some stamina in the dancing sections of Act III and IV.

Alavaye 410 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The best: Whole Act I The worst: HBDUWM (such a drop in energy, you could see it was forced into the setlist) and Zombieboy (girl, ditch those skeletons in next performances!) Overall an amazing show! xoxo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissmy7 109 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Best: Acts I and II were fantastic , I could not take away my eyes from the screen , the way she made the songs fit with the themes, the interludes, the choreography. Worst: suddenly there was a drop in the energy of the show , DWAS seemed rushed and HBDYWM felt a non event. I was disappointed with my favourite song Zombieboy , the skeleton theme was smart but I guess it was a miss . Overall it was one of the best concerts I've watched from Gaga. Gaga if you read us please make a trilogy of Zombieboy , kill for love and Shadow of a man in that fourth act they musically and aesthetically fit with each other 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard174 602 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Die with a smile was so random, so short and her vocal was not that good during that part (but i get it, it is obligatory to include as part of the setlist) You cna sense how she didnt want to perform DWAS. For Shallow, she performed the entire song solo, even Bradley verse. For DWAS, she just sang her verse and cut it short Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree she definitely needed longer break on piano to regain her stamina. She was already struggling a bit with DWAS. I think the piano session during mayhem tour will be longer. I mean, who wants to hear ballad in festival... Maybe she can play million reasons and/or edge of glory/you and i on piano. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prior performances were all much more rehearsed in terms of choreos & storyline & theatrics & camera work etc She needed the rest to be honest. She can't stay on piano for extended time (as ballads are not meant for festival), she just need an upbeat song with good vibe Like how she brought out The Cure in 2017. People loved that despite the different sound (maybe it was new surprise song) but how could people hate HBDYWM given similar vibe ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonBaetens 8,149 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Worst: Die With A Smile. It was placed weirdly, super short and pitchy.

PartySick 154,772 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Dislike: - The super, super long interludes - The styling of the blonde wig - DWAS should have been done before or after Shallow, it would have made more sense - I needed some more MJ moves during Shadow of a Man In a two hour show I can only name four minor dislikes truly a show for the ages 🧡The blindfold's off my eyes, all I see for me is better days🧡 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavadour 2,257 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) I can't think about that show in terms of best and worse. It was a stellar performance. Now, on a more like/dislike approach, I don't really get how, on such a professional event, I takes so much time to have a correct sound mix. On location it was probably good, but the sound of the stream took the entire first act to be balanced. It just ruined the most cinematic and incredible staged part of the show. I've never been a fan of DWAS. Shallow was really great, with a different vocal take on the song. Perfect Celebrity was vibrant and so sexy. Killah was like a punch in the gut good. Although I found that gesaffelguy presence kinda irritating with his mask and oldskool synths. Once again, I had nothing but praise for the linup and dancers. Brockett and Tosh sending sparkles. I didn't mind the skeletons. HBDUWM felt like 'look how easy it is to make it like TS' kind of nod. The second half of the show, Gaga was so full of happiness and devoted to her art and all the LM I broke into tears. I felt the bees in my stomach during Vanish (omg that song entrance !) seing that tiny lady, so tiny and vulnerable yet with such a gigantic presence. Drone footage was great all along, but that moment went straight to my heat. The Beast left me flat out of breath impressed. Not to mention also great rendition of SOAM, Disease, Zombie. I was waiting more impact from GOH and I also missed LoveDrug. The old songs are there to stay for sure and as much as I love Joanne, it's total bypass here felt obvious. No place in Mayhem for the pink hat ! Watching this show for the umpth time, I also need to mention the stage and the incredible implementation of the big side screens. Tiny Gaga so giant on the black background of the night. As huge as the central moon. That's how she is. The were she-wolf.
