or do we think Judas is now out from on and replaced with Dead Dance?

I'll be so upset  

By all means, add TDD but I need to experience Judas live

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?

So this was pre-recorded before the show on the 6th and it was filmed separately from the show. The show started shortly after filming and went on as usual after they filmed this and TDD is not on the setlist.

Does anyone also hear Bad Romance synth from music video in the beginning? In that Abracadabra interlude?

When she started singing “pay the toll to the angels…” it kinda gave me Tea vibes

Ngl you're so right. This instrumental arrangement is VERY Tea vibes and prob the closest example we have to what the finished song might have sounded similar to

The wigs 

otherwise amazing

There’s no other artist that could touch her. Imagine any other artist performing for the VMAS at their own sold out MSG concert and have the vmas change their scheduling around so they could get their artist of the year award?!

For me the main issue was the MSG Night 5 crowd. Like why did almost everyone look so dead in the GA area? No wonder they had to add in crowd screams, because many people looked bored.

I want to watch the performance so bad but I want to go into the Mayhem Ball spoiler free so I’ll have to wait until November 11th 😭

If you already watched Abra at Coachella and Copacabana, there’s nothing new here that’s actually part of the show (TDD performance was created specifically for the VMAs)

Nothing get's spoiled if you've already seen Coachella/Copacabana. Also, the performance was filmed specifically for the VMAs, it's not a part of the show itself

TDD sounds amazing live. One thing about Gaga is she will always give you a great performance.

Absolutely incredible! I wish the lighting was better during the latter part of The Dead Dance. It looks low quality because of poor lighting.
