Posted August 16, 20222 yr RHtdG2M_W3M Two songs from the titular album unfortunately did not make its tour setlist. Plastic Doll and Sine From Above are the only songs from the album to not have been performed live. Do you think Gaga was right to omit these songs or do you think they deserve a place on the setlist? Where would you have slotted them in, and what might the performances of them have been like?

August 16, 20222 yr Author Plastic Doll I never expected to make the setlist. It's the weakest on the album for me and while I enjoy it, she delivers its message so much more effectively in other moments on the album. However if it was to feature on the tour, it'd fit perfectly in the first Act! Along with her being tied to the stage for Alice and immobile, it makes me think of the metaphor in Plastic Doll and her being a puppet/Doll to be stared at but lacking freedom. Sine From Above was initially a huge omission for me. As soon as I heard it, I imagined it being a HUGE stadium number. As soon as the tour was announced, it was the first song I imagined being performed. I get why it wasn't because half of the song is Elton's but I imagine it could've done a similar job to Fun Tonight in the tour - starting slow and then exploding and erupting eventually. Imagine the amount of 60ft flames they would've programmed for Sine's performance too when the chorus hits and the final moments
August 17, 20222 yr I don't miss Plastic Doll at all tbh and 'Sine' would be brilliant if Elton was there but he isn't. It could be piano->album version type of thing like Fun Tonight. But don't really see her doing it solo in full.
August 17, 20222 yr I think it's right for them to not be included! If only she didn't include Fun Tonight too.
August 17, 20222 yr Author I think it's right for them to not be included! If only she didn't include Fun Tonight too. Sure it's not the best song on the alubm but it worked AMAZINGLY at the Ball. First slower on the piano, then she jumps off and the arena explodes with energy when the second part of the song starts. One of my favourite moments of the tour :o
August 18, 20222 yr sine from above is my number 1 on the album, agreed I think it would have sounded amazing live
August 18, 20222 yr Author As much as I'd have loved Sine From Above in, I have no idea what i'd replace it with! The setlist was sensational, no dud moments :drama: I was worried on the first show which didn't include FOUR Chromatica tracks but once Enigma and Fun Tonight were added, it became nigh on perfect <3
August 18, 20222 yr I pray she never performs Plastic Doll live, it's Perfect Illusion level of bad music. Sine is a big loss for the tour though.
August 18, 20222 yr She should replace Fun Tonight with Sine, no one wants to hear she's not happy in a sold-out stadium, like girl, that's the life you chose for yourself. Rich people problems.
August 19, 20222 yr Author She should replace Fun Tonight with Sine, no one wants to hear she's not happy in a sold-out stadium, like girl, that's the life you chose for yourself. Rich people problems. Omg!? This take :rofl: ~90% of the songs performed at the tour are about some sort of unhappy state of mind or event. You can't be being serious - that's what Chromatica centres on :lol:
August 19, 20222 yr Maybe it's the "not having fun tonight" triggers? I must admit, I was sceptic hearing it being a piano ballad there but then it actually turned out to be a party song for everyone. It's genius level of creating emotions!
August 19, 20222 yr Sine From Above is one of 3 good songs on Chromatica so i can't imagine why she ommitted it... and it's not like Elton's presence adds anything to it? Simply bizarre... and to pick 1000 doves over it ? Obvious toilet break moment!

You can't be being serious - that's what Chromatica centres on :lol: No song on the album is as explicitly depressing as this one, it lowers the energy of the show, she should replace it with Sine as she can sing both parts of the song, unlike Sour Candy (another song that should be off the setlist) .
August 19, 20222 yr Author "Lowers the energy"??? Did you go to the show? It did the OPPOSITE, it reignited the energy after the ballad section :unsure: I don't get what you mean?
August 19, 20222 yr "Lowers the energy"??? Did you go to the show? It did the OPPOSITE, it reignited the energy after the ballad section :unsure: I don't get what you mean? People will dance to anything at a show, it's not like it's the merit of this bad song. Obviously if a song slips from the piano onto the dance floor, people will dance, especially when Gaga is always asking for audience interaction. And the fact that I haven't seen the show in person has nothing to do with it, stop saying that every week, it's getting personal.
August 19, 20222 yr Author It's not personal. You're saying it lowered the energy of the show which factually it did not, it actually brought the energy back. You're lacking evidence.
August 19, 20222 yr It's not personal. You're saying it lowered the energy of the show which factually it did not, it actually brought the energy back. You're lacking evidence. As I said, any upbeat song will lift the audience when the concert's piano set is over, even songs about going through depression, not to mention that melodically the song doesn't go anywhere and is one of the worst on the album. Sine deserved that spot.
