What is Gaga's most vocally challenging song?

Well, Perfect Illusion and Diamond Heart are clearly the ones she struggles with most, at least recently. 

The slower tempo ones that she likes to sing high, like Alejandro and Paparazzi aren’t so bad, as she has time to get ready for the note. I feel like Diamond Heart in particular is rushing through too fast for her to prepare

She's done Paparazzi falsetto a couple times in the last couple years.

 

I think she tried it in the private wedding she did last summer?

 

Facts!

Mainly cause the chorus is vocally challenging live and on the studio version.

I think the verses of Judas are incredibly difficult....the pitch and the weird accent and everything....its very strange...it's the only song she's ever seemed to struggle singing live im

i've always thought her voice never fit Judas which is super weird to say since it's her song :laughga:

but the belts during the last chorus always stuck out to me :wtfga:

Perfect Illusion is straight up brutal for her voice. It's just a hard song to sing in general.

As mentioned before, she can't really pull of Paparazzi's falsetto as well anymore. Ofc her voice got deeper and that was not really up to her.

Judas with choreo left her breathless :selena: 

Honestly besides having literally no room to breathe and it being in an impossibly high key, PI isn't that hard.  Idk why she didn't lower the studio version

I sing and Dope's chorus is extremely difficult for me, because you're jumping from a low to a really high register in a split second during the "high for so long" part. If I'm not mistaken it's her song with the biggest jump from one note to another.

It's actually not! It's only an octave jump, but in Diamond Heart from "...girlfriend, rain..." Is an octave and a 5th!

The key isn't that high, it's n A major and it modulates up to C major. The highest note in the song is a D#, which is the same not as an Eb - the same note that she's singing in the chorus of dope on "high for so long." For me, personally when I sing it, it's just because of the tone of the song. It's a very angry, shouty song and that's why it's difficult to sing. If it was just belting it wouldn't be too hard, either with proper breath!

So sorry for the music rants, I'm a music major :cryga:

 

As for actually answering the question, I'd say The Cure. It's really lyric-heavy, and when she sings it live she isn't singing it in her mix like she is in the studio and she has a hard time not getting nasal. Then in the chorus, it's in her break so it's hard to keep it supported without sounding flat, thin, or shouty.

She literally changed the key on tour though.. It's too high.  She can take it a step or two down and it would be perfectly fine

This. I mean, it's not hard for me to hit the notes, but if you want to sound good while singing it you have to sound angry, graspy, like you're having one big ass meltdown, and that's difficult to me since I have a very r&b type of voice. Anyway, I can still sing most of Beyoncé's songs where she's shouting all the way through. :cryga:
