I stanned since The Fame era for the eccentric energetic theatrical glam popstar but she has drastically changed. I know that people change and don't stay exactly the same. But she changed in another way what I don't like as much. It's like she is the opposite now.

I've only watched a couple of the performances, there are so many messages and I like that she's doing what she wants, but it kind of looks like Avril Lavigne trying to "look punk or rebel". I mean, yes Gaga, if you're going to say "**** pop music", then record something that is not pop music, SHOW ME what else you can do. It may have been just a performance but, if what I saw at the end (When "They told them they had to play Applause" and throwing the ARTPOP letters into the ground) means that she's over this album, then I'm fine with it, bring on Act II or an even better album.

 

And LOL at the meltdowns. Sensitive fans.

 

In a way I agree with this, I'm DYING to hear her record a true rock or metal album, let alone song. But it doesn't bother you that she kind of just disrespected Applause like that? Like it makes me think she doesn't even like it or ARTPOP, which I really hope isn't the case because she says she breathes and lives her albums.

I'm really really torn. Some things were really good but over all this show felt like a big drunk mess. It didn't feel like it was Gaga up there.

The moment she said, "And now Im going to sing Applause because I was told to do so" was the moment everything became clear. She lost the song. She lost it to the machinery of purely manufactured, anti-critical machinery. Its her song but at the same time its an expected part of her now. What once began as a song about celebrating the essence of performance is now a empty shell being moved around without a purpose. It made me a bit sad when she said that but its completely true. There is is machine attempting to control her every move and every decision. They want to her play Applause because it is the big recognizable hit. They want her to do choreography and look pretty on stage. They want her satisfy and feed the masses. This performance was a huge movement against all these controlling forces. By "them" I mean her label, pop culture, and one-sided fans who want pop-number one charts-simple yet weird-Gaga. 

The puking was her way of penetrating through all this. She did not choreography and did not beautify it to her original standard performances she does. Today was all about going against the grain. Look at her song choices: Aura, Swine, Dope, Gypsy, MANiCURE, Bad Romance (which is funny because she also deconstructed that baby as well)etc.) Everything that we expected (i.e a nice choreographed Venus or Guy performance) was thrown out the window. 

In in the end it was all for the sake of protecting herself against all these one-sided and one-minded expectations.
