but at the end of the day it was fun and that’s it.

This..

 

It was a fun concert, great songs to sing along to.

Gaga is on another level though, but that doesn't make the RO tour not less enjoyable

Good for her! From videos online, her concert looked unimpressive. She doesn’t have a good stage presence like the greats. Did anyone here attend in person? How was it compared to Mayhem?

I saw it a week or so after Gaga… it was fun but I wouldn’t say I’m itching to go see her again. She sounds great live, I can tell you that. The show was kinda similar to being in a club while a drag queen is performing lol and having just seen Mayhem Ball, it didn’t make matters any better for the show. I’d give it a solid 6.5-7/10

For her, THIS is big. Compared to gaga, this is low and "flop" but for her, this is amazing so that needs to be celebrated for her...

Um until Mayhem Ball, the only tour Gaga has had that made more than $200M is Monster Ball. Every other tour made less, even Born this Way Ball which made $187M (because of an injury, she likely would have made $200M). But a $200M tour is not considered “low and flop” for Gaga, it’s literally the best she’s done her entire career until Mayhem Ball.

I saw Mayhem and Radical Optimism within a month of each other at the same venue.

I never thought I’d say this, but the show’s production was on par with Mayhem. Of course Gaga’s stage presence is unmatched except for a few, but Dua’s has improved SO much since her Future Nostalgia tour. At the very least, her performances have met or exceeded other pop faves like Rihanna, Katy, and other mid-tier pop performers.

It’s also worth noting that back in 2010, tickets were like 75% cheaper than they are now. You could get GA to the Monster Ball for like $60. VIP seats were only like $150-200 and now not even nosebleeds are that cheap. 
 

The Monster Ball broke records for one of the highest grossing tours at the time. If we adjusted for inflation and today’s ticket pricing, it would’ve probably been a $1B tour.

I refuse to accept that the bar is as low as Taylor Swift 

the bar for tour gross/stats 

in terms of talent vocal/dancing/stage presence shes literally at the bottom with katy perry but her fans are delusional enough to make her popular........

No, you aren’t a flop, it isn’t your fault that this bops didn’t chart on global top 50 playlist on Spotify. Give them a listen 🥰
