One aspect I like about mother is that even when she had obvious creativity blockage post born this way. No matter what is the phase Gaga is in her career people show up when the quality is good a star is born and mayhem prove that. I understand fans can argue that artpop is a decent album and some fans maybe even like Joan or chromatica but those album are objectively weaker than her first 3 albums. A star is born is what Joan should've been all along. And Mayhem is just far better than anything she released since born this way. You can't really argue at all that artpop, Joan, or chromatica are better albums than mayhem. If LG8 album ends up being better than mayhem then Gaga has truly return to golden age of creativity again.

When people write Joan is it a drag or do you genuinely not remember the name of the album?

Jon wey is not that great tbqh

Though MAYHEM's full, implosive force may not be felt until witnessing its ferocious stage adaptation, a brain-melting gothic opera that even by Gaga's exceeding standards was a triumph of pop art direction. The very sold-out night was a torrent of crimson and obsidian, a histrionic queer-horror banquet channeling Guillermo Del Toro, "Phantom of the Opera" and ballroom bombast: category is "dance or die!"

The universal acclaim for this masterpiece. Greatest concert of all time.

it's like an 8 at best, but it would've been a nice way to bridge the stylistic gap between her prior work and that album imo. but it was almost a decade ago so who really gaf at this point

Wasn't John Wayne the actor a racist? Ijbol her MAGA era

Idek which one of the two I'm more excited for: Requiem or the Mayhem Ball film. Both are going to be excellent serves of the highest order. We are so fed AND spoiled.

Requiem because I've seen TMB 4000 times at this point

I am still recovering from the best show of my entire ******* life. I saw Gaga at MSG on Friday. What a peak moment of my life. The vocals. The ENERGY. Down to the quieter moments at the piano. We got 911 and Hair at the piano in NYC! It was perfection.

All hail the GOAT

Tea. However! The 4K experience with crystal clear audio is going to be otherworldly I fear. Gag-a-chella collapse level flashbacks.

I wonder how will she try topping it with her next tour. A full stadium production may do it.

We're not talking about enough of these excellent reviews.

Like 90% of them consider the tour as one of the most if not most amazing Pop Show in history

TMB uses so many different sets and blocking, it'd be really cool to see them try to do a show like that on a stadium level.

ive been thinking how she can top the MAYHEM ball for her next tour... and then i realise.... there's no tour in foreseeable future...

i haven't checked a lot of the reviews in a while but i don't think there's a single review that has been under 5 stars, this has gotta be one of the most critically acclaimed tours ever, right?

The tour ends on April 13.

Devil Wears Prada comes out on May 1, which is a friday so Shape of a Woman probably only comes out then.

Do you think she will do anything in the 2 weeks break betweeen the 2

she's toured every single album thus far and has already confirmed she's working on new music, there's absolutely a potential tour in the foreseeable future

If she's going to go for a full-fledged stadium tour she needs to upgrade the production level by 10x. Bigger screens, bigger stage, bigger catwalks. Live productions are only going to get more ambitious as touring continues to be more lucrative. Those awful and generic boxed layouts aren't going to cut it anymore. Hopefully she works with the same or an even more skilled team of creatives again.

Obviously none of that matters when Bobbe is 2 months too late to book stadiums and when the arenas and theatres are also all full she goes on a global dive bar tour.

but when will she drop the new music and when will live nation's lazy ass book her some proper venues AROUND THE GLOBE

The base talking about a tour when we don't even have the album out

I still think it's going to be a smaller stadium run, but if my delusions suspicions about LG8 are true and this is her "self-produced" era with then I wonder how that will translate to a big stage. Then again, with performances like Requiem and the Grammy's maybe being a taste of what's to come, I'll be perched nonetheless.

This entire Chappell Roan situation with that little girl

Kinda hope that rumored collab is shelved for good dddd

She can start by doing shows in Western Canada. She hasn't been since the Boreanne tour, and we've had to fight for uber expensive tickets in a city 3000km away.

Of course there will be a tour. Interscope and Gaga will definitely want to capitalize on her 20th anniversary. The MAYHEM Ball Tour will be hard to top but she can do it especially if its a stadium show.
