princedeeblebleble 1,575 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I would have replaced Lovegame for Replay and Million reasons for Marry the night, but that's being extremely nitpicky.. cause the show is ****ng incredible! She's truly back to form and I'm so happy for her Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starmie25 18,570 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 She needs to extend Aura just a tad more. Look at the reactions. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladle Ghoulash 23,895 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 BM -> Paparazzi and SOAM -> BR are basically unimpeachable tbh. My biggest issues, which are relatively minor, are with the mid section. As others have mentioned, LG feels jarring right after Paparazzi (probably could’ve been better served by a more tender moment like MTN and maybe put LG after the Beast or include it in the medley with Applause and JD). Killah and ZB’s reworks are great, the staging and aesthetic are excellent, LD’s live performance and setting made me appreciate the song more, but the Applause + JD medley feels a bit tacked on and I wasn’t clamoring to hear either of those songs (though that section is good for what it is). We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsta217 230 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I saw the 1.0 show in Mexico in April, it was 10/10 for me, but 2.0 grabbed it and made it 10 times better tbh. Every aspect of it was amazing, and she improved on every single area that had room for it I can write a wall of text praising every bit of it, but it would be stuff thats already been said, so ill just add a few comments on stuff that isnt commented as much as something like the expanded setlist: -I love how the interludes are a lot less invasive than in 1.0 where they fell too long at times. -The massive screen behind the stage, and the catwalk being a screen itself, combined with the Opera house aesthetics give it a very interesting effect of high-tech but set in the past at the same time which give it a very magical feel to it -The whole show seems extremely optimized for her to administer her energy for the whole show even with the huge amount of songs. She doesnt do that much choreo herself but it also doesnt feel like she is just standing as she fills those gaps with many other things like in Paparazzi or MR. I could be a pie for your zombie bite.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstermilo 4,482 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) main thing i would change is wish she was playing stadiums LOL i just feel like shes too big to be playing 17k arenas - a lot of those stadiums are free on a lot of the dates she has planned i like the lighting way more here and i like how the screens play off the physical aspects of the stage. also wish the catwalk went out further with a bigger secondary stage i would love to see marry the night on the set list and also GUY summerboy is cute but def needs to be shortened - live it doesnt hit as hard as the studio version imo Edited July 18 by Monstermilo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a big reason is due to selecting arenas over stadiums. Its a bit more intricate. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouranos 802 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I honestly was hoping it was the same as coachella (I really wanted to see that pokerface performance in person) just so I didn’t have to focus on the stage and have a good time but I can do both Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chathonnete 756 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 My opinion : The Mayhem Ball was shaped for arenas from the beginning. I really felt desapointed by the stadium part, the stage was small, the production after act III seemed rushed and made for the camera and not a stadium crowd. HOWEVER, now that she show was revamped and put in arena I live for it. This is SO good. I always dreamt to see Gaga in such a gothic atmosphere. It's the show we all dreamt about. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fame Monster 4,223 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 From what I've seen on TikTok, it looks absolutely amazing, and Gaga sounds out of this world! I'm so proud of her and super excited for all the monsters who get to experience it. Here are my current highlights: – The rendition of Million Reasons she performs is simply incredible. – The stage setup and that dress she wears during Killah are everything. – The boat set during Shallow looks absolutely magical. I didn't have the funds or energy this time, sadly, but fingers crossed we get an HBO special of the Mayhem Ball next year! 🤞🏼 Find your freedom in the music Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 14,976 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) I love it. The Coachella set was too good to be a "one-off" (even if she played it more times) so I appreciate the effort to introduce so many changes. And on a personal level, the inclusion of Summerboy is the best gift she has given to me since she added Scheiße to the JWT. I really really hope she gives us a professional film of the tour like she did with GCB. Edited July 18 by RudraCNG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panchecco 17,626 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 My only note would be that Perfect Celebrity and Disease deserved a more physical performance with a lot of energy and chaos 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delulu Rogers 7,235 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Overall a great show but some changes are needed. 1. The stage needs to have a better design. It's her second tour in a row where the stage is just a basic catwalk when there is potential to make it more interesting and fun. 2. Lovegame REALLY needs to go. It's over done and sounds out of place. I can't believe she insists on performing this song in full while cutting better songs to 45 seconds. 3. Millions reasons needs to be replaced with MTN. It would fit better and is more of a fan favourite. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galagala 4,611 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Love how arenas deliver a more immersive experience. Her best tour for sure. But not gonna lie the stage can definitely be better. The small stage sabotaged the iconic Poker Face chess set. And I prefer the Coachella version of Poker Face (stage), Killah (the light, the exotic props, the costume, the drums), Zombieboy + DWAS (the light, the skeletons, the dance), SOAM (the dance, the cinematography), and Shallow (piano fits better than boat). As for the setlist, MR and Lovegame do feel unfit. Love the Lovedrug + Applause + Just Dance section! Her best tour for sure.

TheARTPOPball 477 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 The pricing is insane Her skipping Atlanta is crazy The show looks great but it being so similar to the Coachella set kind of ruined my anticipation i liked a lot of the fashion for the Coachella performance better than the tour fits. the skull piano from Coachella is far superior to the mayhem ball one Idc if it “fits”, summer boy is such a treat for the fans the costumes are a lot more reserved and not as flamboyant and out there as i anticipated I like this better than the Chromatica Ball and am really upset that this Will be the first tour I’ve missed since the ARTPOP ball Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
