Lady GaGa General Discussion

[corianderstem]

That certainly would not surprise me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Another Fame Monster kind of release wouldn't surprise me at all.

(All of her albums need to be Fame Monster kind of releases IMO)

Hopefully, Latin America includes Puerto Rico The Monster Ball was a hell of a show, judging by the HBO special. Ironically, announced the day after Madonna announced her world tour (ironically = because of the endless comparisons between her and Madonna) Would be cool to see her live.

Lady Gaga unveiled dates for her "Born This Way Ball" tour in Asia and Australia today, and those shows will be followed by dates in the rest of the world, Billboard.biz has learned. Gaga will tour Europe and Latin American later this year, and North America early in 2013. According to a tweet sent from Gaga's account this afternoon, the tour will total 110 dates.

Live Nation Global Touring CEO Arthur Fogel and his team will steer the tour, as they did the bulk of the "Monster Ball" tour of 2010-2011, which grossed $188 million from 167 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore. "Monster Ball" put Gaga - no. 84 on Billboard's recent "Power 100" list -- on the map as a major, arena-plus level touring artist, and demand to see her remains very high. Given that she won't return to tour North America until next year, those markets will be fresh, though it is likely she could play most cities in North America tomorrow and do sellout business.

The tour's first leg will hit Southeast Asia and Japan through early June, encompassing 15 shows at stadiums and arenas. Gaga will then play about 15 shows in Australia, ending in July. Beyond that, current plans call for her to tour Europe in August, followed by Latin America towards the end of the year, and then North America in Q1 2013, beginning in January and running into March. Production is still in the conceptual stages.

"The last tour established her as a major act worldwide and I believe this tour will be an extension of that, particularly considering we're going to territories she's never been in, like Southeast Asia and Latin America," Fogel told Billboard.biz.

lady gaga is bono?

I feel like if I can just reason it out in my mind enough, we could be on to something big here.

 

[coolian2]

allphones arena is a terrible name

Jesus Christ...the evidence gets more compelling by the moment.

 

[corianderstem]

When Bono forks you, it changes you.

 

[trojanchick99]

well, the good news is at least I have a while to save for the Gaga since she isn't heading back to the states for a while.

Lady Gaga Announces 'Born This Way Ball' Tour | Billboard.com

Also on Feb. 7 Gaga unveiled a sketch of what the star calls 'The Monster Pit,' a general admission area she says "Little Monsters unlock it when they arrive to the arena or stadium." That area is reserved for fans "who have arrived first, waited all night, + dressed to 'Ball.'"

Probably won't be going to a Gaga concert anytime soon, but I always appreciate it when artists do this for floor tickets instead of selling the closer ones off for ridiculous prices.

i guess somephones arena was taken.

Oh christ, don't encourage them. I guess the lines now will be starting 18 months in advance to prove how much they're "real fans."

..... oh, sorry. I forgot I was in the Gaga thread.

Making Lucille my permanent avatar is the best decision I have ever made. EVER.

Having multiple awesome Lucille gifs to use beside it is just icing on the cake.

 

[corianderstem]

Whoops, lost my gif.

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

She should release an album full of Queen/Elton John inspired "You and I" style songs. More piano and guitar...her voice goes well with it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Either Lady Gaga should release an album full of stone-cold electropop classics like Paparazzi, Bad Romance and Marry The Night and not fuck around with genre exercises like You And I, or she should go all the way and make a slower, ballad-driven record that showcases her voice.

I think Born This Way proves she's not going to make a great album trying to do both and taking over an hour to do it. The Fame was kind of an overlong mess too.

She's going to have one hell of a greatest hits someday though.

Born This Way had more hits than misses. I think she can do both. I definitely give her props for not sticking to one genre. Variety is definitely a good thing. The Fame was an awesome debut. Most of the songs are top notch with maybe a couple of songs that are so-so. If you have suggestions though as to what she could do next, you could always post them on her FB page.

I'm moaning in ecstasy about this idea already.

 

[Lancemc]

Or Marry the Night on repeat for an hour straight.

 

[corianderstem]

I wouldn't kick that out of bed for eating crackers, either.

Cori getting all serial up in here.

Apparently Gaga is popular in Asia and Oceania because several additional shows have now been added in the cities where tickets have already gone on sale. Plus, stops in Jakarta and Bangkok have been added so the initial announcement of 11 shows is now up to 25.

It's odd though that the first show is in a stadium then the tour moves into arenas with a couple more stadium shows along the way. Are they going to have a separate, larger stage set-up for the stadium shows? Or they just going to put an arena size stage in the stadiums? It seems like that wouldn't look very impressive and you'd think they would want the very first show, which is in a stadium, to be as impressive as possible since it's likely to get a lot of publicity.
