Gaga performing "The Dead Dance" and "Abracadabra" for the VMA's!

Mother behaviour. I've loved seeing the evolution from Debra performances since Coachella until now, everytime more polished. And TDD was great too!!

Also were the background visuals during The Dead Dance already used for other parts of the entire show? I don't think so. If not, how I wish they'd use it as a standard during the whole thing whenever cameras are on showing the attendance, the crew or herself. Those visuals give sooo much depth to the already monumental stage

Oh god I just realized my concert is just a bit more than a month away and I'll see her for the first time ever. Just in time touring my already favorite album from her. Oh girlies the mfkcn tears will be DROPPED

I'm gonna bashed so hard for being honest but this is the third time we see the abracadabra opening for an event + TDD part is great but quit simple 

[Sarah H 3,859]

Brilliant performance! It made me love TDD more.

She still delivers in a stellar way. This is exceptional

Btw, public was LOUD, you can't barely hear her in many parts

The audio mixing is terrible on the MTV upload. And I don't understand the need for fake audience noise when it was filmed in front of a sold out MSG. 

I will say though - the Abracadabra cage dress opening is the greatest show opening since Madonna's Disco Ball entrance on the Confessions tour. 
I adore the dress she used for TDD in this performance, just wish it was lit better - the purple was washing it out.

Mhmm people saying she’s milking it it’s like guys…it’s an incredible opening. On its own and in the show, it’s the standout moment by a country mile. BM-Pokerface is just such a stellar run of songs and it kicks off with this incredible visual that has the added benefit of taking very little of her energy bc she’s standing there

The only reason people think she's "milking it" is 'cause they're sitting up on TikTok every other night watching the same show again and again and complaining about being bored

Honestly, it's only seen as milking because in this digital age we can see it through a million camera phones at every angle from every show she's done. 

But like - do folks seriously expect 50 different stagings and choreos for one song in the same era?

Magic! I have something to say about sound engineering on the opening opera choir but.. 

it was magical after that!

This was live streamed for her show so does anyone think this new addition was just made for the VMAs, or do we think Judas is now out from on and replaced with Dead Dance?
