darkgaga 4,989 Posted Thursday at 10:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:40 PM So, after the first show, what are your opinions on the show, mainly regarding the changes from Gagachella and Gagacabana? Overall, I am very happy. This is exactly what I meant when I said I hoped she was able to deliver this show, and stay true to her word on why they chose arenas. I really think this show would work less well in stadiums. Can we talk about how good she screen is? The effects and the interactions with the physical set. Loved it. And the pyro! I am so happy the Lord Farquaad bop is gone. I love the wave this wig has. And omg, the whole ugly act 3 being gone: I screamed. No more ugly cheap blue/black wolf bodysuit, the jacket with the tag still in it, the big ass jacket, the cheap skeletons, the cheap piano. I hope we never see them again. The whole act went from a 4 to a 9 with the gaint skull and the queen of the night outfit! Also the act 2 outfit has improved a lot imo. I was slayed by the rainbow cape!!! Not really sure about the new act 4 circus director outfit though I love the addition of Aura (even though it is only 20 seconds), MR and Applause. Watching the videos the crowd went wild when they heard the A-R-T-P-O-P. Just Dance and Lovegame I could have lived without, but okay. Never really care for Summerboy but she is cute. But omg, Lovedrug was a highlight. Some songs should not have been cut short though imo AND US HBDUWM STANS WON! WE GOT THE ENCORE! I was so sad when I thought she was cute, but then BAM there she was. I also like how down to earth the encore is No overly long piano segment! They tend to get boring, but the way she did MR and Shallow made them engaging. Loved how she trolled the audience in DWAS by adding an extra bar before the first chorus. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taumaturg0 497 Posted Thursday at 11:37 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:37 PM I love the revamped third and fourth acts, the changes really work to make the storyline more solid and flow better. The first two acts were already great, the additons only improve them. I could live without Lovegame though, but it doesn't bother me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackaroo 1,828 Posted Friday at 12:13 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:13 AM (edited) I love how the screen compliments the opera house set throughout the show. All the elements feel sufficient and so pleased she’s really making the most of her stage compared to CBT. She didn’t even need to fly or doing any risky stuns like KP, Beyonce and Chris Brown to deliver a spectacular and theatrical performance. everything about this show is perfect except for the Labubu wig during Bad Romance. Actually love the encore where she de-drag and ready to leave the venue with nothing glamours, just comfort and authenticity. The backstage camera work reminds me of Charli XCX Von Dutch. Genius! Can’t wait for more surprises and possible changes. Edited Friday at 12:29 AM by Jackaroo 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmeluka 964 Posted Friday at 12:18 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:18 AM Absolutely amazing show. The best after the artRave. The only things i would replace are LoveGame for anything else, and Million Reasons for Mary The Night. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochestrMonstr 3,183 Posted Friday at 01:27 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:27 AM I am SO glad Telephone finally got to take a seat on the bench. It’s not on the same level as the other songs she never leaves out. It’s just not one she has to do every time. She’s being extremely fair with the rotation of her less massive hits. I personally wish she did Don’t Call Tonight and Blade of Grass but I would have been surprised if she did them. It’s so crazy to me how different things turned out than they were in 2011. Judas is now a power-house that she must do, while The Edge of Glory is basically her standby in case she needs to do a family-friendly public performance. This whole show is perfect! We Stan a true performer, a legend of her generation! 3 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDevacelli 1,547 Posted Friday at 02:02 AM Share Posted Friday at 02:02 AM I’ve never seen Gaga deliver such a well-thought-out show as a whole. She’s always been very direct with her narratives and theatricality, but this show truly goes beyond in every detail. To me, the technology and visuals are something she hasn’t done since the TMBT 1.0. The design team truly deserves all the praise. The changes were very welcome, only a handful of choices could be questioned, and the rest is absolutely flawless. They didn’t diminish the grandeur of the show at all. In fact, they elevated every detail and each act. You could tell she was happy and still a little shy with this new format, but that’s something natural that comes with time. I absolutely love the idea she tried to recreate with HBDUWM, that behind-the-scenes simplicity was something that marked me deeply during her show here in Rio de Janeiro. It gave me a whole new perspective on a song I honestly used to hate. Today, it’s a huge symbol of her love for me. I just wish she had dressed a little better and kept that iconic posing moment she does during Bad Romance before exiting the stage. A perfect show. I truly hope she brings this new version to Brazil so I can experience it again. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinasawachanta 3,072 Posted Friday at 03:46 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:46 AM (edited) The show is SPECTACULAR. I think it improved something that seemed really unbeatable. I think it's perfect that she kept the best parts of the promo shows (Act I, II and the Finale) virtually untouched. And that she drastically changed Acts III and IV that needed a twist. Things I pointed out: - The extended operatic segment at the beginning. She sounds amazing! - The opening wig with a slight wave, I love it! I liked the original but this one suits her even better. - The Aura bit is fine, the Judas bridge is still unbeatable. - The visuals are of excellent quality. The typefaces chosen, the effects! Everything is top of the range. - The narrative is strengthened and much clearer from the new modifications (added songs, visuals, etc). - The Paparazzi moment is still emotional, and the arrangement of the extended version is beautiful. - I think LoveGame is the only track that ‘mismatches’ a bit.... I feel it could be replaced by Marry The Night to sustain the drama of the moment and not cut so sharply. - Alejandro should be sung in full 😭 - The Beast's performance is amazing, I'm glad she sings it in full, the addition of the guitar (could be a keytar?). Gives it the entity it deserves! - Act III is great! The skull, the look, the visuals, the staircase! It's very The Monster Ball 1.0 and I love it! I feel like LoveGame would fit better in this segment. - The Million Reasons moment is thrilling and gives the song, which was never my cup of tea by the way, a whole new meaning. - What a surprise Summerboy! A good performance, different, fresh? I liked it a lot. - The look of her gray hair reminds me of the hair color in the Disease video! - Shallow on the raft is amazing! One of my favorite moments. I love that it's a totally revamped version, no piano or guitar. It allows you to appreciate her in a different way, in all her dramatic power. Watching that performance I reconfirmed what a great ARTIST we chose to stan. - DWAS in its entirety surprised me! And it makes me think that maybe in the promotional shows she didn't do it in its entirety because of a conflict of interests/rights due to the official live broadcast... - Vanish Into You and the reconciliation with Mistress MAYHEM 💞 - The half black half blonde hairbow as a synthesis of the whole journey 🤍🖤, the two queens of the chessboard unified.

Sneaky Oliver 22,067 Posted Friday at 04:03 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:03 AM I love how everything feels elevated, love the big screen in the back, I kinda wish it was even bigger though Love the new looks except for the Bad Romance wig, that was atrocious but u I see her changing that I really really hate the catwalk, I think it could have a different, more unique shape, it’s almost like she bought a generic catwalk in the store, nothing about it screams Lady Gaga stage The opera house set got upgraded as well, there are broken glasses windows which might be a reference to the album cover The setlist has hits and misses tbh, LoveGame was a weird choice as a follow up to Paparazzi, she could have chosen a different song or put LoveGame after Alejandro, SHICD would fit so perfectly after Paparazzi LoveDrug and Kill For Love in full were amazing, Million Reasons and Shallow actually having a theatrical performance for their own is amazing, I really wish she would’ve performed Don’t Call Tonight just for the sake of doing the whole Mayhem album 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
