artRAVE Perth, Australia (August 20)

[somechick 1]

I'm pretty sure we didn't get out of the arena until like quarter past two? I think haha... it's all so blurry atm :P and then I couldn't sleep after I literally feel like I'm floating at the moment I'm that tired but I'm only half way through an 8 hr day at uni

Oh god have fun with that then. Lol

Last night was so good. I still haven't slept and can hardly move because I'm so sore but it was all so worth it

 

I have been sleeping ALL DAY. Got up at about 10, had a shower and ate then slept again. 

 

How did your photo go? I am so pissed off we got rushed. Phillip forgot his tour book because they were kicking us out so quickly, and I didn't get the chance to tell her what I wanted to say. Really upset about that.

Ah I'm looking so forward to sleeping!

Aw I wish you got to tell her!

Um mine was actually really good! She said she liked my shoes and stuff and then I spoke to her for maybe another 20 seconds I think about the teacup and drawing I had for her and she seemed really happy. I think I got like 3 or 4 hugs. I mean I know it's different to how the first few American ones went but I think we got the longest group chat yet so it's was pretty amazing :)

[Elizabeth 450]

She probably says 'Australia' because a lot of people from all over travel to her concerts, that woman is pathetic

I know, she did say 'Perth' a few times as well though

Umm wow! Lol since when did perth become not a part if australia? Lmao it even has 'australia' in the statr name. Haha glad i wasnt on that train.

I know, right! When we got on the train, I was thinking to myself "please don't sit near me" but I must've jinxed it! 

you should have told your dad to hold your earrings and dragged the woman across the floor of the train.

I wanted to say something to her but I thought she might punch me or something

omg, I can't believe you made it to uni!!! You must be running on pure adrenaline!

i'm still dying 

[somechick 1]

Just made it home. Trying to work out if gagz already got to her hotel. Might have to go check it out.

I was like the only person in the entire arena who was dancing to Starlight
People where looking at me funny but I was like whatever b---hes imma have fun and you can stand here complaining about her repetitive beats.

I wish we had a proper opener though...

The rest of the show was insane though. The opening outfit looks amazing live and we were in front of the piano so she made actual eye contact with me at some points during Dope/BTW/Gypsy

I even spotted Brian May just before she mentioned he was in the audience. I could see his face so clearly so i'm sure he also noticed me at one point

 

Not that any of this matters because both Gaga and Brian May have already completely forgotten my face haha.

At my show she just kept saying "Canada" and some people got upset about it

Really? I can understand if she said "America" when she was in Canada, but not when she is actually in Canada and people have travelled to come and see her from different cities. :smh:

Well I believe America is just the US. North America would contain Canada but thats just too long to say lol

Show was fantastic. Well organised. Very professional, fast paced and enjoyable. Pictures and images don't convey it. I had the same reservations about the Born This Way Ball after seeing videos and photos but actually seeing it in person is just so different.

 

**** I wish I bought more tickets and flew around a bit more but after one APZ I was kind of broke :lol:

 

as for my APZ experience I kept it short

 

I was there last night and was pretty happy. I also don't think we should repeat specifically what was said, but she spoke to us for a good 90 minutes. It might've even gotten closer to two hours. But she was very up front and candid. She talked about quite a few different topics, both heavy hitting and light hearted, but I do think it's rude if people are talking about what she said. There were times when the conversation devolved into gossip and you could tell she was getting visibly annoyed but certain people kept asking her. I think she answered truthfully, but like they told us before hand, that was as a conversation between fans and the artist so she was probably not wanting it to get out.

 

I wish people would respect that aspect more and now I totally understand why people were getting annoyed at fans for leaking that video of her talking **** about Azealia Banks after the Oz performance. It just creates petty arguments between stanbases and I'm glad the group I walked out with brought it up as we left because a lot of us agreed it was not the best thing to do. But oh well.

 

I loved when she played three songs from Cheek To Cheek. She sang directly to me and looked into my eyes during Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered which is something I'll never forget. You can tell she loves the music and that the album really helped her to develop as an artist. I really hope it does well and opens her up to new demographics. She played Firefly, Lush Life and BBB.

 

She even told me how much she loved my shirt because it represented the four albums and the four eras before the photo. When we took our photo I put my arm around her but she pulled me closer so that was really nice, I think she liked me ^_^

 

I do agree the photos were rushed but that was after a two hour chat session (the lights were turned off on us, for christs sakes) and the staff can't stay there forever.

 

It doesn't help that people were breaking the rules that they imposed (ie. don't ask her to sign anything else) and pissing security off, who more or less run the show as they have strict schedules to adhere to.

 

Honestly the only true disappointment was that water cost $5. With such a high price, I would've thought drinks would've been included while on-stage since most people wouldn't drink that much anyway because they wouldn't want to meet Gaga in a drunken stupour. Even drinks post-rave were free. She was so cute when she was asking for the drinks. and it's such an intense show I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was severely dehydrated. I understand the bar serves the water from bottles but at least get a big keg of it ro some **** lolol

 

I just feel likes some of the fans there were a little bit too entitled and it felt like they were using her a bit. but generally speaking it was a really great group.

 

I really loved the experience and I'm really glad I did it. In fact, I'd do it again.

 

EDIT: Reading around Twitter and Facebook you would think half the people who were there weren't even listening to what she was saying, jesus christ.

Why be so rude about it? People are allowed to ask to get tattoos written etc. Gaga says yes, so why should it affect you?

So glad to see a fan who really respects her. Thanks for shearing your experience!
