Ultra Violet 18,425 Posted November 16, 2023 I've seen a few ads for Melanie playing in my city next year. I've never had the chance to see her but I honestly laughed. There's no way im seeing her current tour To me, i think it would feel like i never actually saw her perform. So sorry if thats an ungrateful fan opinion. People who saw anything from the cry baby and the k-12 era are so lucky, I tell you. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cool3dworld 2,365 Posted November 16, 2023 Is it just me or do some of the PORTALS tracks have horribly distorted bass? Specifically POWDER and SPIDER WEB 2 Quote https://www.last.fm/user/cool3dworld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who saw anything from the cry baby and the k-12 era are so lucky, I tell you. The first part of PORTALS tour was still neat and lots of fans were there and it was amazing to see her live regardless. It went fast for me personally, but the experience and soul in the music was definitely still there. EVIL and POWDER were performed with sm emotion and the vocals weren't bad. The Cry Baby or DOLLHOUSE TOUR would've been so fcking amazing to go to. I wish she didn't perform everything cohesively and had more fun. I think she likes doing the full albums though 😭 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
love divine 4,162 Posted November 16, 2023 i used to be a mega fan of her's back in 2015 and saw her on the cry baby tour twice. as amazing as it was, this was around the time she started losing her voice. and the show really only focused on her singing for an hour straight (no transitions, no dancers) that's why i think she's still trying to switch it up from that and giving herself time to breathe, because she knows she has a pretty fragile voice. i also went to a k-12 show right before covid shut it down and that was definitely her best tour. so sad we only got a handful of shows out of it 4 Quote violets in your eyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not enjoying this era at all anymore, and cannot believe we're nearly a year into it now and it still has almost zero substance. I'd rather see a 3 minute video of her talking, without the mask, and get nothing else for months than be fed crappy CGI teasers and bad music videos with a dash of boring, faceless live shows. I was listening to DEATH yesterday too, and all I could think of was how wasted its potential was! She could've made her most powerful, heartfelt and beautiful MV yet(same with VOID) but instead it felt overdone and underdone all at once. I'm confused at what she's trying to achieve here, and I definitely don't want to know what a Portals movie would look like if the MVs can't even land. Just disappointed with this era all around. crazy to think that her best era (to me) to this day is dollhouse ep. two iconic music videos done with minor budget (especially dollhouse which was crowd funded), a great tour where she had fun and was always adding and changing the setlist to keep it fresh, fun interviews and photoshoots, and we even got amazing live performances on her channel... oh i miss the goof ol days cry baby era is also a testiment to the fact that melanie works better with a restricted budget, but i feel like she was so spoiled with k12 that now she refuses to work if it isnt exactly the way she wants it do matter the cost 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grayson 147 Posted November 18, 2023 I'm so scared she's gonna wear that damn mask the whole time on the new tour. I mean do we think she will actually wear it for crybaby and k-12? I kind of assumed it would be like Eras tour where she does the songs by eras 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
