I bet 50 bucks - I'm from spain but you get it lmao - that she won't perform Blade Of Grass live (at least on tour)

I would take that bet!

I understand omitting it from Coachella, but she’s said it’s one of her favorites on MAYHEM and it’s kinda the Michael song, so I don’t see her skipping it.

I won't be mad if she performs The Joker or Happy Mistake in Rio.

I love harlequin

I used send voice messages to @Ophelia of me doing my curl routine (chaoticly) whilst playing the album on CD

After each morning of doing that the place looked like the harlequin apartment

I'm one of the people who has enjoyed ARTPOP less as time goes on-- a third of the album has some highs in it, but I find that the majority of it is dated EDM (not "ahead of its time," IMO), and it doesn't feel cohesive to me at all.  I also think it has some of Gaga's worst lyrics ever.

I really liked Joanne when it first came out, but I've found that once again I only like a few songs on it as time goes on, and it's really just the precursor to the vastly superior "A Star is Born" soundtrack.

Chromatica, production-wise, feels incomplete.  Most of the songs aside from "Replay" are very linear, and I feel that once you think a song is about to go somewhere, it ends. I'm sure that Chromatica is a banger in the clubs, but when it comes to sitting at home with headphones, it's kind of a snooze for me ... Aside from "Replay" of course.  "Rain on Me" is a really good and cute pop song, but it just misses the mark of being a great pop song because they inexplicably held Ariana Grande's vocals back when they should have been larger than life.

Harlequin sonically all works together, it has some of Gaga's best vocals ever, and the original songs are great.  "Happy Mistake" is one of her best ballads, and I really hope that it's on the Mayhem Ball setlist.

Agree with everything here 

I enjoyed and appreciated ARTPOP, Joanne and Chromatica but rarely go back to them. The other albums are just on another tier

Guys I am more than positive Copacabana will have some deep cuts from ARTPOP, Joanne, Chromatica.

Relax. 

I’m gonna say probably not

The Joker and Happy Mistake make it for me.

Her vocals and mastery of these classic songs is so much fun.

Fantastic.

 

Edit: Sometimes it's not that serious and we can have fun.

Yeah, that’s basically how I feel about AP as well. IMO, the performance art of her as a pop star raging against the machine during that era really elevated the music, but as a standalone record, I don’t think it’s withstood the test of time.

While it's mentioned.

I've always felt ASIB is a main Gaga album with a movie wrapped around it instead of the other way around. I mean this in a very good way.

As she should, it's a project to be very proud of. She really needs to add Happy Mistake to Mayhem Ball setlist and looking at the Coachella storyline, I would love if she used Folie a Deux for a short segment or transition with her and the dancers wearing dresses.

Gaga rn:

 

[Donatello 172]

Her pose is the same as the Chromatica cover so at least it's referenced.

[Red 98,368]

I think she only didn’t include anything from HQ because it didn’t fit 

[HayThurJack 353]

Too right. Harlequin is extraordinary. 

[XxBones 1,191]

This album is so nice to listen to during tough times. I wasn’t expecting it but hearing Smile made my cry a bit. It’s a bit haunting tho but to finish the album with That’s Life gives such hope. I’d love to hear her perform That’s Life. I have a feeling that song kept her going after the whole movie thing.

Here's how Happy Mistake can still replace How Bad Do U Want Me
