ViviLittleM Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I think Chromatica Ball's stage being awful might be something about the budget. I think the dates weren't scheduled to be 20 at first but maybe 10 at most but once again don't do stadiums if you can't have an adapted stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had only 20 dates so it didnt make a lot of sense for them to go over the top for the production. Now that it proved what they were trying to see, the LG7 tour will have a bigger budget. It has to, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSwiftie Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) I still remember how gagged I was during the whole opening night of the Cball When she came out in that outfit looking straight out of TFM era and me already losing my voice after the first chorus of BR Edited June 7, 2023 by TSwiftie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholai Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 To me the Chromatica Ball stage just lacked some props to complement the performance of certain songs and larger catwalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Fortune Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I went to see the Ren tour and girls.... the stage, the visuals, the props were INSANE. Incredible. Everything CBT wishes it could be. However, Gaga DOMINATED the stage and captivated the audience in a way I can never quite feel with Beyoncé. I really hope Gaga's next tour brings the visuals.

Just to hear her voice like that; so powerful, raw and limitless in a way, followed by "LADY GAGA" flashing in that beautiful gold lettering right in the middle. And then the ultimate realization: she was a lead actress in a major feature film now. Holy ****! An incredibly well-made trailer. we're still waiting for the trailer version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know where that leaves her. I think the shows her peers are touring with this year make the Chromatica Ball seem even more antiquated and stale than it seemed at the time, and moreover, they seem to just have a palpable joy to them that Gaga's grim presentation between eight hour screensavers by Nick Knight didn't. I hope she finds her bliss, genuinely. But I don't think any of her music-related work in years seems to reflect that the person behind it loved making it. Maybe the "911" video at a stretch? I remember last year seeing her rather joylessly knock out her three biggest hits (aside from "Shallow", the obvious golden child she properly loveswhere everything aligned perfectly for her) from the perspective of being trapped by them and thinking... yeah, that tracks I guess. And that's fine, but maybe don't break your ankle running towards legacy act status when you appear to have no affection for basking in that legacy. She is 100% in a position to be making bolder, more adventurous choices on stage and on record, but she honestly seems too scared to lose it all by trying. Girl, if Beyoncé is getting away with playing "Rather Die Young" to stadiums you can maybe retire Safe B-Tier Hit From The 2009 Golden Age "LoveGame", and slot in "Applause" without the general public revolting!“ Read this comment in the Popjustice thread and got a bit pissed. It bugs me how people expect Gaga to have the same enthusiasm for pop music she did in 2010, and that Taylor and Beyoncé have now, when the public doesn’t have the same enthusiasm for her, and critics gave her no leeway after ARTPOP really. Fans never want to acknowledge the two way street of pop music careers. Whenever another popstar does something, Gaga fans get angry that Gaga did not also do that exact same thing, and honestly it is very strange. We fell in love with her for being different and now we get mad at her for not being the same. The Rennie Tour is brilliant; I love everything about it, but it is not Gaga. It is not the kind of show Gaga has ever put on or will ever put on. Gaga is not a "big screen for a stage" kind of girl, and if you continue to think she will suddenly become that then you are going to continue to be disappointed, in my opinion. Gaga is a theater girl and will always go for a set piece (which means box stage) over anything else. That is not to say they could have done something to make things easier to see, because we can all agree on that, but overall I do not understand this narrative that it was "bad" or "low budget" when that narrative does not operate in the real world. 48 minutes ago, chosensparkles said: not true, it's only some pop stars who had open big stages, most rock/metal bands have the box stage like she did also we clearly understood why she went with it, it was meant to represent her being trapped and stuck in her mind Yeah. I am not understanding the constant need to view things from such a negative viewpoint. The staging was deliberate, not a result of something negative like "low budget". Then again, Gaga fans even claimed the BTWB Stage was low budget at the time. Edited June 7, 2023 by Sannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans never want to acknowledge the two way street of pop music careers. It's kinda funny how easily popheads are entertained by simple stage props like fish looking at shiny objects. Chromatica Ball was a highly-acclaimed, tremendously successful tour experience that millions of artists would dream of delivering. I don't get how people can seriously write "miserable prospect as a popstar" while continuously grouping her in comparison with the two arguably biggest popstars in the current moment. Like, if she wasn't on Bey-Tay level, she wouldn't get all this constant comparison. They're kinda right in that it's been a decade since Artpop's backlash and that she should take creative risks again, but Gaga stans have got to be the most miserable base of all time. They can't enjoy their fave's GREAT work because they constantly project their insecurities and personal preferences on it. I doubt the 834,000 people that paid to see the Chromatica Ball gave that much of a f*ck about stage props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so bizarre how upset they get that Gaga isn't releasing 463 vinyl editions of her album or releasing remixes w/ Ice Spice and Kendrick Lamar. Gaga is NOT a conventional pop girlie. You can tell these aren't veteran stans because they've clearly forgotten they stan the "disco stick" meat dress girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholai Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 At the end of the day you will remember the whole stadium singing Shallow or Love on Top. Visuals and props are easily forgettable. Those unique experiences are not and only a handful of artist can bring that to a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
