Gaga’s best chorus is in 911

Absolutely not   

"My biggest enemy is me" might be an amazing message... but its so repetitive, its not melodically interesting, and its extremely underwhelming compared to the amazing opening from Chromatica II. Its really bad... and it is very boring. It is what it is

This! *drops mic*

the chorus first reminded me of I Like it Rough with the way she sings it, I never minded it. I love big songs and her anthemic chorus' but not every song needs to be like that, that's why Aura took that nice break from the heavy verses with the high chorus and it works great

It’s the worst chorus on the album tf. So repetitive and her vocals are irritating 

[Red 97,982]

Bad Romance, I'm so sorry you had to go through this insult

[Regina George 59,387]

Her best chorus (by far)  is Bad Romance, followed by Dance In The Dark and Paparazzi. 

[AntonTurnItUp 7,088]

actually Is one of her weakest 

hello!  Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Born This Way, The Edge Of Glory, Aura, Applause, Million Reasons, Alice, and Enigma still exist

I thought everyone agreed the chorus is the worst part of the song, it had potential but they probably spent too long redoing ROM they forgot to improve other songs!

Uhm, no. I understand we like 911 but let's keep our minds cool. 

Chorus is the weakest part of this song, to be honest.

IT’S a bop

Aura 

Venus

Judas

Alice

Scheisse 

All say hi

I wouldn't call it the best but I definitely love it. I don't like Gaga choruses because they're big and make you want to dance, but because they're melodically and musically interesting. I don't have enough music knowledge to explain why exactly I like these choruses but to me, if someone understands and can explain I'm all for it, some of her best are:

- Paparazzi (the way her voice goes up in "you love me", just after a kind of monotonous beginning, is everything)

- So happy I could die (the way her voice kind of drops down from the beginning to the end of the sentence)

- Heavy Metal Lover (those notes are just eargasmic)

- Do What U Want (the way the "you can't have my heart..." sentences sound unfinished, and then the "do what u want..." complete the rhythm)

- Mary Jane Holland (in the same way as 911, the way the melody sounds a bit off, like the drug is stopping her from going all the way there and sings it in a way she seems to enjoy the effect it has on her)

- Venus (the "when you touch me I die...", I don't know, it's just beautiful the way her voice goes up in "I die", then goes down in "I wonder if..." and then at the end it just goes up again in "loooooooooove")

- Honestly, most of the choruses from Joanne, especially Come to Mama, Joanne, Just Another Day, Diamond Heart, Angel Down

- Look what I found ("another piece of my heaaaaaaaart" and then the "somebody who loves me" that gives it more balance)

And for 911, a lot of people say the melody isn't interesting, I disagree. It sounds like, for a second, that her voice is going to go higher and do something big when she says "biggest" but then she stays this way and it falls back down when she says "pop a 911". If I try to represent it, it's like "my biggEST ENEMY IS ME pop a 911". Just like MJH, it's like the drug is numbing her and preventing her from pursuing the melody, and that's exactly what makes it good. And in the last "biggest", she starts going up and her voice slowly goes back down, it's like she accepted that she's "stuck" like this and won't go higher.

I love the song but imo she could’ve come up with a better chorus 

[Nikolai Barrow 1,337]

Some people don't like the chorus because they want a big explosive chorus. But that just wouldn't work with this song. The chorus reminds me of Bloody Mary. It's slow and hypnotic.

The fact that it is missing the characteristics of a good Gaga chorus doesn't mean that it is now the best Gaga chorus

It's like almost every single chorus from The Fame

"You've got me wondrin' why I, I like it rough, I, I like it rough"

"Just dance, gonna be okay, dada doo doo ooh, just dance, spin that record babe, dada doo doo dooh"

"And eh, there's nothing else I can say, eh eh, eh eh, there's nothing else I can say"

"If everything was everything but everything is over"

 

She has a few explosive choruses like Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Judas, but I don't know why so many fans are forgetting that literally most of her choruses have always been simple and repetitive, NOT big, especially on album tracks and sometimes even singles. We remember the big ones because they're different but they're not the norm, not even for Gaga.

Seriously?  The chorus of this song is one of the worst in her career. It destroys brilliant verses, and that is so sad. This song could be perfect, but...
