Why Doesn't Gaga use Live Backup Singers?

Genuine question: Almost every Gaga live performance that I've been to or seen on TV has had her singing live with a backing track filling in other parts; why not use live back-up singers?

Cavadour

Maybe by choice. To keep the vocal integrity of the songs. She usually does the backings herself in studio. Sometimes many tracks. Skilled singers able to make the backing parts sounding like her must be complicated to find. Probably rare and expensive. Besides many of her backing vocals are treated, sometimes heavily.

the Monster Ball

Also this ARTPOP live performance

And she had Hillary doing back up for some performances during the Joanne era.

As to why she doesn't use them more often, I havo no idea. Backing track offers less variables out of her control, less chances for audio malfunctions, a few less salaries to pay, are some of the reasons that come to mind

Idk if it was for the artRAVE but I do remember something in the ARTPOP era having backup vocalists.

Not just this either, although how good was this :bradley:

Maybe it was the actual album drop party ArtRave? 

Different capitalization 'cause it's the ArtRave, not the artRAVE :anveeroy:

Nah, I was there (humblebrag) and there were no live vocalists at the artRave in Brooklyn. But this performance of ARTPOP is so iconic ugh
