I know she causes somewhat mixed views but I have to say last night in Birmingham she was (as I personally expected) AWESOME!

Sat next to a couple who got the tickets cheap off a friend so didn't know what to expect and had doubts about coming ... well they were blown away.

No doubt this thread may turn into a let's list everything I hate about her but if you can honestly say after watching videos from this show (I can point you to one I took myself) that she is not an ultimate show performer and well worth the admission price then you really are just a "keyboard warrior" with too much time on your hands. Only thing I would have changed about last night is I wish I had bought standing tickets!!

Here's a review from the local newspaper ...

But I am a "little monster" after all so I'll be just labelled biased. The UK loves Gaga and Gaga loves the UK!

Fan threw the Union Jack on the stage before anyone accuses her of planning this!

Going to Glasgow on Sunday. Noticed she sung You and I in Birmingham, hoping she does the same on Sunday

Can anyone tell me how much the programme is?

How odd that her tour has stated in the UK and the media are barely even reporting it. I guess it shows how far she has fallen.

^ Exactly.
A few years ago this would've been all over the news and in the papers but this time there's nothing. She's definitely over.

Most major newspapers have given this a review, pretty much all four star plus.

She is on Strictly with Tony Bennet this weekend. I'd assume there might be other bits of promo? Have a feeling she may pre-record a chat show appearance.

I'm seeing her next week and can't wait! I saw her in Newcastle back in 2010 just after Bad Romance came out. She was incredible. Looking back that would probably be the peak of her success so far. Amazing!

Unfortunately this time i'm seeing her at Glasgow so i'm not sure what to expect (Scottish crowds in my experience are pretty lifeless - sorry!)

I'm just glad she has made a few setlist changes and added a few BTW tracks. I remember when she started the tour she only sang 'Born This Way'.

Just to add, there are a few Artpop song I am looking forward to seeing live. GUY, Artpop, Swine and Aura in particular.

I've seen both the Monsters Ball and the BTW Ball. Going tomorrow night in Dublin. She is a great performer and although I don't love the album like the fame / fame monster, I still like it and she puts on a great show!😍😎

This may be biased, but Scottish crowds are RENOWNED for being wild at concerts!

I'm going on Sunday, fairly excited, last time I saw Gaga she only had 2 songs out and wasn't that big a fan to be honest: but Artpop is my fav album of hers (unpopular opinion I know) and the hits are stacked up

Wow. What a fantastic show, hard to pick out a favourite bit really: bad romance, sexxx dreams, Alejandro (a song I actually forgot about lol).
