AgusPop 4,141 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I was there, it was so ****ing good I just can't explain how it felt to be one of the first monsters to hear and dance to the new tracks, and to see her literally like 2 metres away!!! Ahhhhh Aura: It was so ****ing fantastic, great to sing along to, and the choreography was honestly some of the best I've seen from her imo. Her going up in the cage was awesome I loved it so much, couldn't have been better 9.5/10 MANiCURE: Better live than on playback, it was brilliant to jam out to and felt like I was at a rock concert, though a bit repetitive. Other than that a wonderful song!! 7/10 ARTPOP: Very psychedelic and felt like I was high sooo good! Very Blondie-esque I thought, the arm movements were very easy to catch on to, was doing it by the second chorus, loving the falsetto background vocals in the second verse onwards too. IT WAS THE CAR SONG!! I did actually shout "gaga listen to my CD" as a bit of a tribute but the audio didn't pick it up ahaha. 9.5/10 Jewels N' Drugs: Really not a fan, until it gets to the part where she's singing in octaves with the backing track, that's really good. The rest of it I thought was a bit sucky, I'm not a massive fan of rap, and this was not my cup of tea, but I would imagine others would really like it. The backdrop on the board slayed though, loved the bubblegum stuff tbh. Overall 5/10 Sex dreams: Very Blondie again I think, I have no words, I felt so slutty dancing to this. The hook get's me every time and right into the chorus, I get so many emotions. Me and some people around me were doing the grindy moves gaga was doing (dunno what it's called) I don't have the words for how perfect it is. The soft vocals, the sultry beat, everything is just perfect. 10/10 I loved the showing of her real hair, it was very powerful and moving, and she looked flawless, however she got it to look that good underneath the cap I have no idea. Swine: I was very off-put by the flying pigs, I didn't actually focus on the song that much when I was there ahaha. It was really good to sing the intro with her because of the teasers she put up, the guitar part is immense right after the intro, I had so many feelings at this point. I really had to listen to the playback to get a better feel for the song, but you can really tell it was gonna be an EDM masterpiece even whilst there. The visuals were great with the flying pigs and the pigs shooting paint onto the canvases, they threw the canvases into the audience and I would have caught one if it weren't for the 7ft man mountain in front of me ugh ahaha. A very rock out in your room with speakers on full blast kinda song. I actually love the song in general, gave me rock teas whilst being fused with edm. 9/10 I Wanna Be With You: I was literally crying during this performance, it was so emotional. Her emotional and powerful vocals couldn't have been better, the song is perfectly written. Best ballad out of all the eras in my opinion. Not only her vocals and flawfree songwriting made this song and performance particularly special, her piano playing was beautiful and very appropriate for the song, I can't imagine this song being played any other way and I kind of hope the studio version is just with her and the piano, I'm sure I'll still be slain whatever it sounds like on the album though. 10/10 Applause: Giving me sherlock teas at the start was just brilliantly thought out and to combine it with the fabulous green jacket, immense. Her vocals for one were far better than at the VMAs, choreo slayed, and her little bowing at the end and her getting carried off were the cutest thing ever omg. We all got really behind her in the audience singing every word and the energy from being there can not be replaced. 9/10 I was a little disappointed that I didn't get any paint on me, but I think it was probably for the best anyway aha. I saw loads of monsters that I recognised from twitter and instagram etc. The night was perfect, and even marked the day I first came out to a family member (my sister on the train there.) PLEASE REMEMBER THESE ARE ALL MY OWN OPINIONS :) Great review!!! you are so lucky :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezbear91 745 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Do you guys think that there's a possibility that she cut the chorus of Swine out? I just couldnt hear a strong chorus and it's making me crazy because the song is so good but the lack of that BIG chorus is annoying. why do you need a big chorus when that drop makes you **** your pants??? battle for your life.

MonsterOfSpain 8,318 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Changes on stage need to continue Ikr, it was so good to see those changes on stage. I loved so so so much the show that now I can't wait two more months for the album. Aura was a perfect begginning as it sounded as good as the first time. Then MANiCURE came and I can say it's my jam, the chorus is very catchy. Then we changed to ARTPOP and it was so good omg it sounds so celestial, it's one of the best songs I've listened to. I reminded me a little of LYLALS by Selena. Then Jewels&Drugs, it's and OK song but definitely not one of my faves. The footage on the background was cool. Then Sex Dreams and omg I think it's as good as ARTPOP. Very hot and s-xual. Then Swine and I think it was the best moment for borh Gaga and us, very very powerful. Can't wait to hear the studio version. Then I Wanna Be With You,what a beautiful ballad. I thought she was playing an acoustic version of Applause because of her description but no. The melody is pretty similar to Hair. Loved the reference to BTW in the lyrics. Then Applause and I think it was a better performance that the one from the VMA's, epic way to end the song It's of the best concerts Gaga has ever done. I would of course buy it if a DVD is released or something. That's the Gaga I want tbhIt had to be so ****ing amazing and fun to be there. So jealous of all of you who attended.

RyanBall 1 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The set was mostly flawless! Was so happy for Gaga, being back up on stage doing the thing that she loves the most. Swine, ARTPOP and Jewels & Drugs are my favourites of the new tracks. The way she was screaming during Swine hope that's on the album version! The only complaint I had was that for a few of the tracks I noticed her relying more on the backing track than I've seen her do before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
