That "crowd density expert" must be one of the biased Wikipedia editors who kept changing the number from 2.5M back to 2.1M on this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-attended_concerts#Free_concerts

But I and an other one edited back to 2.5 with better sources till victory.

1- Not such thing as a crowd density expert. Thats not a thing.

2- The Brazillian government didnt get the number by just guessing or looking at photos, they do these things by taking all sorts of data into account, like tourism that enters the country and the city, hotel rooms, phone GPS signals, drones, etc.

3- Guiness confirmed the numbers

4- Wtf is with this targeted bs? If Gaga's concert was inflated, so were all previous Copacabana concerts. But of course as soon as Gaga does something big, haters cant stand it so they go in to mythbust it.

Cool bit of math honestly! but not really anything worth a dime to stans bc it’s not like they do these maths for the other people who have records like hers.

but as a piece of news it’s cool

I think it was more of a “that’s cool!” Kind of article not a conspiracy against mother

Who even cares? lol what is a "crowd density expert"? Is that just a job given to some kid of an exec? 

If only there were actually important things going on in the world for them to investigate.

[Zombiecat 17,800]

but it legit wasn't only one section, what are they basing this on? an image from 7 hours before the show? The beach was packed out from the stage to the other end

[RainOnGaga 721]

if raining on someone's parade was a company

[Hadrian 1,850]

Yeah well, I'm an experts expert, and that "crowd density expert" doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
