I still haven't seen videos of the majority of the songs performed
I probably should, seeing as I'll be too busy getting my life on the date of my show to even pay that much attention to the performances
While no one doubts her talent for singles and spectacle, could yet another big arena tour from Mama Monster really still compete with Miley's bizarre Bangerz staging, or Beyonce's mechanized perfection?
A sellout crowd filled Toyota Center on Wednesday night to find out the truth for themselves. After gamely received opening sets by K-Pop troupe Crayon Pop and synth-and-sequencer custodian Lady Nightshade, the mainstream's proudest weirdo ascended at last from a cloud of smoke to reassure fans that she hasn't lost a step.
If her opening suite of tunes from the hard-to-love ARTPOP album didn't quite get folks singing and dancing along right off the bat, Gaga certainly gave her audience a lot of cool stuff to look at. Clad in expectedly odd, fuzzy wings, the songstress Clydesdale-walked confidently across the multiple catwalks of her Fortress of Solitude stage set, backed by a five-piece band and at least a dozen dancers. As camera phones lit up the arena from the floor to the rafters, there was little question that Lady Gaga's formidable aura of star power remains largely undiminished.
It took the welcome eruption of her debut smash "Just Dance" to really put the Toyota Center in her pocket, however. After following it up with a triple stack of early hits "Poker Face," "Telephone" and "Paparazzi," Gaga could have finished the night off with a slate of acoustic Creed covers and still left Houston a hero to her legion of enthusiastic, cosplaying fans.
As she tore through "Bad Romance" and "Applause" with the confetti cannon on full blast, it was hard to imagine that the Lady is losing her touch. It felt more like she was happily retreating into the many arenas packed full of adoring crowds ready to support her every move. Yes, she's finding it difficult to top her monster debut. So what? Hard to hear much criticism over all that screaming and cheering.
The last two arenas looked full despite the fear mongering over "x amount of tickets left". Why people still pay attention to the maps online when it's been proven more than 20 times that they're not reliable, is beyond me.

There were some empty seats (you can see them around 1:00) but it was quite packed, assuming the upper ring sold similarly well.
I can see what you're talking about, but in the photos posted above, those seats are full. Looks like the people who were there either left for whatever reason or are taking a bathroom break at that point in time. Makes sense considering she's sitting at the piano.
at the two guys ****ing in the bathroom at a Gaga concert, though. At least it wasn't under the damn stage.
Have fun
Who knows if they'll do that too What if they actually didn't do anything like that though it just ended up looking terribly wrong for the people outside
Just purchased my GA ticket for Vegas this weekend. Last minute decision and booked a last minute deal at the Luxor. Should be fun. Any monsters attending are welcome to come party at my hotel after.
