I understand the supposed use of a brutalist style, but I cannot buy it as a deliberate and purposeful use of it when there was no new choreography or remixes of her older work, no theatrics for her newer work, questionable outfit choices (the haus labs black latex leotard and the album art headpiece was slapped together backstage, let's be real, followed by a basic leather jacket, ending the show with a ripped t-shirt put over an outfit she was wearing for the last 30 minutes of the show). This is all before I start talking about how haphazard the introduction feels, and I believe its old footage from the Monster Ball (The City Interlude by Nick Knight).

I could believe it was a deliberate choice if the theme continued for more than three songs, but this show is lacking in every department. Eventually when everything is lacking, you have to question the simplicity; was it a choice or was it a result of bad planning and rushed ideas.

Choreography is not new? She fired that rat who made all the other dancers quit cause they say he was toxic, and now she's working with an (almost) completely new team of dancers so they have to have a new choreo. Maybe it's just that you don't like it and that's fine, I'm not impressed either honestly for most of it. And same thing goes for the costumes, it's all brand new and it's her creative direction she chose to go by. You mentioned the most basic, "boring" one out of them. Every costume is unique and goes well with the acts.

She is again working with Nick Knight to make those interludes so obviously they look like something he already did for her, that's his style.

I think we can agree that she took the brutalism aspect to a bare minimum. Just search brutalism on Google Image and you'll see crazier/unique style. 

Don't get me wrong I like the stage but it's 100% a bare minimum effort on the brutalism movement. 

Ofc you're gonna see a beautiful, enormous buildings when you google "brutalism" but we're talking about a scenography here, it's a stage lol. You can't have that and whoever is a scenographer, they did an amazing job at designing and conveying brutalist style.

Yes I do agree with you and again I like the stage. At the same time, I understand the frustration of some people when you compare that stage with the stage from the BTW Ball or even the Artrave (which was simple but had original catwalks.) Gaga and her team are capable to do great things and they set a level of originally too high for what she wants to do now.

She fired Richie? I highly doubt it...

How do you know that? :mhmsureny_hmm_thinking_ponder_unsure_what_Tiffany_pollard_ny_New_York_miss_ms_sure:

Ahh so cool she did Fun Tonight and 1000 Doves tonight! I prefer the piano version of 1000 Doves over the original too. The original is still cool, but there's something special about the piano version. 

Fingers crossed she performs Plastic Doll or Sine From Above in London.

I love how cinematic this is! Well done, Gaga! I feel like she'll shoot a DVD with this one. The camera work has been flawless!

A DVD would be cool but a lot of artists don't really do them nowadays. A Netflix concert special would be the next best thing.
