I LOVE International Smile and tbh most of the time when I have concert DVDs on is when I'm doing chores or surfing the internet or something, it's just that the live performances are often a welcome change for the records we always hear. I was just curious if the camera angles/editing etc are good
Thanks for not ignoring my post btw That would have been very immature
I've ripped most of the PWT DVD and listen to it in my own listen personal album on my phone. International Smile is great, and underrated as a song, but the Cat section is probably my least favourite section of it all and really was a let down (i.e. the slaughtering of HnC).
The editing was fine when i saw it. If you've seen the Epix Special, there's no really noticeable differences in terms of editing. There's some basic and awkward editing like with Love Me:
From 1:17 to 2:15 the close ups, camera movements, and her in general aren't well done. Not including that really basic slow down as she's twirling but
I notice there's a few times that the camera shakes a bit too much for a professionally done video but it's still great.
EDIT: Not a fan of Roar live tbh. Although the video is shot well, I think they could've cut down the intro of noises a bit to be much shorter. The glow in the dark part is not shot well though. The camera moving is too much and it comes off as jumpy.
Rewatching bits now, the camera being obstructed with arms is not good. It's rare in the DVD but it's sloppy that they have hands blocking the view sometimes.
I didn't have neither the money, the time or the company to fly to Spain, go to the show and come back if she did a show in Lisbon I would have gone alone tbh.
My favourite performance is Roar, probably her best live performance ever.
And the Prismatic section is also the best in my opinion, it's my favourite. The Egyptian and Hyper-Neon sections come second.
The Cat-oure section is also criminally underrated. I like the arrangement of Hot n Cold and the whole theme of the performance. IS is also a highlight from the show, the Vogue part is brilliant.
The only thing I want to complain about is the ugly ass Moschino outfit from the Throwback section.
PWT is probably the best pop show of the last 10 years.
Many Monsters? I'm the only one posting and I stan for Gaga/Katy/Taylor/Adele... don't judge on username or avi alone sis. I just have some more free time due to my holiday, so I'm a bit more active and have more time to visit/read threads and post in them
Now that Kots pointed it out (in the receipts thread)... it makes no sense why Teenage Dream is certified 7x Plat when it only sold 4.7M and its streams are terrible.
Where does the other 2.3M come from? Certainly not its <200M YT streams.
