Beating a dead horse but listening to the Electra Heart album front to back lights a fire under me because of how her label let that impeccable record flop.

Soooo, points from the show: 1. She did 4 tracks from TFJ (Mowgli's Road, I Am Not A Robot, Obsessions, Hollywood), 4 from EH (Bubblegum Bitch, Primadonna, Radioactive, How To Be A Heartbreaker), and 6 from Froot (Happy, Froot, I'm A Ruin, Blue, Forget, Can't Pin Me Down). Onstage for about an hour and there was no encore. 2. She was upfront about her band not having had much proper playing experience together yet. She sang great, but there were times when you couldn't hear her because all the instruments drowned her out. This'll probably be managed better as they play more. 3. She was in a great mood and very appreciative of the album's start and sales in the US, and said she was very excited for the next year of playing the album. 4. Someone in the audience mentioned Buy The Stars. She said it may make an appearance later down the line. Multiple people screamed about Shampain, none were acknowledged. 5. She is fit as fuck, and her genes are incredible, you don't have a waist and figure like hers otherwise. She straight up looked like a Greek Goddess carved out of marble. 6. The Electra Heart tracks worked the best live, somewhat unsurprisingly, but the major highlight was definitely the last song (Froot) because... 7. BALLOONS!!!

I'm surprised that she didn't do Oh No! :O
But yes, she has an incredible figure. Meeting her nearly 2 years ago was nerve wracking.

That setlist is probably set in stone for most of the upcoming shows she's going to perform as well since it's the same one she used in London for the Froot album release concert.

I was at the show last night as well, she was fantastic. Super humble and adorable. Her voice was fantastic - crystal clear especially on the piano tracks and very capable on some of her songs that jump all over the place. It was a really fun show and especially at a venue that small, the crowd was INTO it.

5. She is fit as f**k, and her genes are incredible, you don't have a waist and figure like hers otherwise. She straight up looked like a Greek Goddess carved out of marble. I cannot get over how fit and beautiful she is. Her body is deserving of worship.

This is my album of the year. Her voice is perfection and the songwriting and production are incredible. I'm so glad she's pursuing the music she wants to make, on her own terms, and seeing success with it - she is, quite simply, stunning.

"Forget" and "I'm A Ruin" are so good, some of her best work no doubt.
The album as a whole is really strong, the only track I sometimes skip is "Gold".

"Forget" is probably my favorite of the bunch. The album doesn't really have any clear weak links, though. I either really like or love all of them.

Dropped to No. 96 on the Billboard 200 chart this week, wow. I expected a drop but not that hard.
Froot Of The Month was a really good idea to get buzz, but she really needs a proper single and radio campaign to keep the era going. It doesn't look like that is planned/gonna happen.

A 90% drop That's what happens when 75% of your opening week sales were from pre-orders.

According to her during her recent billboard Coachella interview, a repackaged version of the album is planned.

This is why I don't buy albums anymore. If she's writing new material, it is totally unrelated to anything that inspired the Froot sessions, so why graft it on? Release an EP.

OMG!!!! Her show was on FIYAH last night! The venue was completely sold out on a TUESDAY. The audience didn't just sing the known songs, but were chanting along with every word! The energy was amazing!!! I danced my butt off to "Radioactive" and "How to be a Heartbreaker" (which were played back to back). {Spoiler}The show itself was a lot less theatrical than the Lonely Hearts Club Tour. There were no costume changes, no background vocalists except for one of the band members, and no encore. Just Marina with cherries on her head and a 4-piece band backing her up. The songs seemed edgier than the polished production of the album, so I would enjoy a rockier direction from her on the next outing, as I think she could pull it off quite well.
The setlist was quite long though (not in order):
fromm The Family Jewels (I'm not familiar with this one as much, so I don't know which ones we heard) Hollywood I Am Not a Robot Obsessions (possibly one more)
from Electra Heart Bubblegum Bitch (opener) Lies Primadonna Radioactive (closer) How to be a Heartbreaker (closer)
8 songs from Froot Forget Better Than That Savages Happy Froot I'm a Ruin Blue Can't Pin Me Down

I was at the show last night too! It was a good time!
I've only ever been a casual fan, loved selected singles and tracks here and there. I wish her music was as fleshed out on record as it is live, I would definitely be more into her.
But if you're a big fan, I highly recommend. All of the friends I went with are huge fans and they LOVED it.

Never got into her but I am going to stop by her set at Governor's Ball for at least part of it. If I am sold, I will stay for the whole show.

YAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorites Froots!!! The "Give me love/give me dreams/give me your good self-esteem" hook is one of the strongest on the record.

Best choice for a new single, so glad this record isn't dead yet! Can't wait to see the video, my favorite song of the album.

Yes! Can't Pin Me Down getting a video next will be the icing on the cherry.
That said, I'm impressed by how much faith her label/team has shown to her since she has so many videos for her last 2 albums despite the fact that she's never had a top 10 single in the UK or any other big market on top of her disappointing album sales and views. Her talent is unimaginable but it's weird that she seems to have such a high budget and support without her label getting anything significant in return.

I'll be at her opening show in Houston and the teasers she's been previewing in regards to the tour have me so excited. This tour won't be one to miss.
