There is no way that she's possibly OK right now - is she on something

I know, but when you're given a slot at a high profile festival, where she can try and win over the General public, she is a mess… like come on. i expected better from her, not a drunken shell of former Gaga. 

see this is exactly why she did this performance, she doesnt want to "win' anyone back, especially a bunch of lamestream morons that only project these boundraies and rules on the artist. it makes her sick and so she rolled around in vomit.

I don't think Gaga is "ok" in the sense of she's absolutely 100% happy/fine/swell/perfect and I still think she's struggling with addiction/depression/ect., but I feel as though the performance was probably therapeutic for her in some ways. I felt she was really going back to her roots in terms of the production of the performance and the more "rock n roll" vibes it gave me. I felt most of the performance had quite dark undertones. It was "messy" but I feel it made sense that way, a clean cut performance just wouldn't have been able to fulfil her needs and allow her to get across the points she wanted to. I think it made sense for the environment and atmosphere of SXSW. 

 

 Idk I think I'll have more thoughts on this once I've been able to watch the performance over again and consider it more.

Agree with this totally. It was messy, but it fit the vibe of SXSW.

 

However, I don't think she should carry on like this for the Roseland and Artrave shows. It would just turn-off way too many people. Even a lot of fans here on GGD did not like it.

 

There's a risk that the Artrave arena tour might end up being the Artrave club tour.

 

But if she's happier that way than

I agree and I don't think there's any way Roseland or artRAVE will be like this. I think they'll be a lot "cleaner" (for lack of a better word) and more structured? I think there will be many similar elements but it'll be overall a very different vibe.

Came off as a bit poserish...like she isn't metal and trying to act like a badass bc shes at SXSW was cringeworthy...just do not get it. The show was messy and boring, IDK.

Some of you would be better off watching a Katy Perry performance
