Lady Gaga says it's difficult for her to sing songs off 'Chromatica'

Because it flopped? It’s like she never wants to be associated with failures. she should learn to embrace her art, rather than let her the numbers decide for her what she can or can’t sing. 

It hardly flopped compared to ARTPOP (which itself wasn't that much of a failure)

These comments lack so much empathy. Like “Sorry you’re depressed, but give us bops” 

we aint her therapist

Rain on me, plastic doll, and 911 were the only bops to me and they were like little baby bops🤷🏻‍♂️ Such a missed opportunity Gaga. I hope she comes back swinging though.

The song lyrics came from a very black hole in her heart? "Love it when you call me legs…In the morning, buy me eggs" 

Really girl? Call it what it is…a FLOP

I get this, it's because all this album kind of anchored her feelings back when recording these songs. I know that she struggles with some pain condition, I think it worsened around that time. I also have few albums that anchored in a bad way and I don't want to revisit, and it's not even pain or trauma related.

I.LOVE.CHROMATICA!! I truly do. And I think it's so Gaga and so honest and so s/xy and so gay.

But I hate how overly sensitive she gets sometimes, she should have learned how to play the game by now. And I also hate how she totally HID during the pandemic and barely promoted the album, while DUA LIPA CARRIED US ALL THROUGH COVID. Dua Lipa put all other popstars to shame, she proved that you can still work and make the world dance no matter what. Now if the album flopped or not, and why, I don't really care because it's amazing either way. Someday you b*tches will get it.

She is always in pain when she promotes/records her records. It's annoying and tiring

Well that sucks as it’s one of my favorite records, was hoping it was healing for her to express herself but well I guess she deserves to feel the way she feels. Maybe that’s why she’s doing Jazz now to escape from pop

I love this track the most!

Huh? Art pop did 1M+ global sales. Maybe two. Chromatica pales in comparison and if it weren’t for the Ariana Grande collab it would have probably debuted outside the top 10.
 

no wonder she pivoted and ran as fast as she can back to  the poor Alzheimer’s patient Tony Bennet.

I'm pretty sure Chromatica sold more than ARTPOP but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I doubt it wouldn't have gone top 10. Oh and she and Tony Bennett had always planned to do a second jazz album together, it just came later than expected as Gaga was busy with other projects.

Wow I prefer this version

So does this mean no Chromatica Ball then? I've literally been waiting 2 1/2 years to see her since the rest of Enigma was canceled. 

 

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I do love Chromatica, even with all its flaws. It's far from perfect, and it doesn't match the artistry or the acclaim of The Fame Monster era / Born This Way, but it was still a great album to me, honestly because even as average as it truly may be, a return to dance music was all what we needed from Gaga during the pandemic.

I think part of its problem is in the production, I think there were too many chefs in the kitchen, even with BloodPop overseeing everyone's involvement. Songs like Sour Candy and Sine from Above that weren't originally for Gaga, don't do the greatest job at showcasing her voice, and the majority of the rest of the songs (other than Rain On Me and Free Woman) are half baked, uninspired lyrically, and don't live to their fullest potential (even on songs like Enigma where her vocal performance itself is outstanding). 

The hype surrounding the album lost its steam upon arrival, with the leak of Stupid Love (a song that's catchy but reductive at the same time), and the drawn out, lengthy promo of its following two singles and the ridiculous Oreo ad campaign weren't enough to regain traction for the era, even as amazing as Rain on Me was. 

I hate to say it, but I just don't think Gaga's heart is in performing anything from Chromatica (or anything that has underperformed for that matter). It's got nothing to do with it "being too hard for her." Especially with her foray into film being solidified with House of Gucci, her other endeavors are making her more money at the moment and it may be awhile until we get a worthy pop album from her.

I thought it was a terrible album anyway

Artpop may not have been her peak but it did benefit from the momentum of her previous two albums.

Ddd I googled it myself and it seems I was wrong. I was surprised because I always got the impression ARTPOP was her lowest-selling album.
