Chromatica is still an okay era

Like.... I have no idea how some of the "DON'T CRITICIZE GAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE CAN DO WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" folks survived the angela chung & perez & pawsdownlittlemonsters era. Gaga's been through WAY worse than what basically comes down to "chromatica era bad", which is a legit critique anyway. Chromatica era IS a mess, her team DID completely ignore the fact that they had to improvise and adapt (and do not ask me HOW, since, y'know, they are the ones that get paid to figure out how, not me) and saying this is not something as demonic as most people here try to make it out to be. This is not being mean, it is being a fan. 

Do I think we should be non-insulting? Of course, as there is a clear difference between criticism and insults.  But some people here think saying anything other than praise for Gaga is a cardinal sin, and I am not here for that. 

Not sure why you just wrote an essay to something that didn't involve you?

Blastertoyo's posts towards Gaga have been disgusting, disrespectful, rude, etc etc. I'm also disappointed by Gaga but you don't see me and many other fans going on about it complaining on the internet every day using b*tchy gifs thinking they're all that. It's not funny, it's literally scary. Please do something else with your free time than complain about Gaga every single day.

I am not talking about him, I am talking about what happens in general. I don't care about what any specific members think, and from what I have seen, y'all talked enough about that so whatever I'd say about that would be redundant anyway. 

Learn how to handle criticism before you try to tell other people what to do. You don't get to censor and/or dictate what people think about Gaga or her team. Sure, they should be "respectful" in their criticism. If you see "disrespect", there is a report button for that. I didn't think so, and thus, I am not mad about that.

You say I'm writing an essay as if y'all weren't arguing here about A GIF.

No thank u.

Again... I wasn't talking to you, no one was.

Uhh, okay sis, you're the one who quoted me when I was talking about my opinions, which is, y'know, something you do on an online forum that is accessible to everyone 

Seems that I was right

I applaud her for the 2nd video.  It's Gaga trying to lift people up during difficult times.  She cares about people, and that defines her.    She is always determined to help others, and that defines her.   She has built a life based on love, kindness, and positivity and spreads that worldwide, and that defines her.

Tbh I feel like she's just ready for a career switch. It's like her fire is out  if Chromatica and being a performer would still be her passion, we would've seen it by now. The over the top acting lately at Enigma/ VMA/ Biden videos also shows that imo. We've never seen her that fake/ insincere. She used to be a sincerely driven performer, now she's just acting like one and we can all notice the difference.

i think she's left to chromatica for good tbh. i'm an ava max convert now. heaven & hell is so much more than chromatica and ava has done more music videos, live performances & still releasing new music & a deluxe edition before the end of the year. plus, she didn't try to push her political agenda and persuade people to vote for the person she wants.

[MessyTop 14,387]

The album is fantastic. 
the era was meh!

she has been more dedicated to Haus Labs and that that.

Chromatica isn't an era honey, it is a bonus soundtrack to the Haus labs era

Since when is standing for something a drawback?

I'd dare to say if it weren't for Gaga being so outspoken about social and political topics then half of us wouldn't be fans. I probably wouldn't be

This. Sometimes I see her more as a personality than just a singer/songwriter. I love the album but I personally wouldn't care if 911 was the last hoorah for Chromatica. I don't think it is though

In some ways I can understand why people want more promo, however with the whole situation/promo completely changing I can imagine it’s been hard.

If 2020 had gone as planned, Chromatica would have been an incredible era but this year has been the worst. I can understand why Gaga feels defeated but I don’t want to judge as I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes.

Totally agree.  I am always happy that many follow Gaga for more than just her music.  Her comments on social and political issues are one of the ways she helps others because those issues impact people's lives.  Her spreading love kindness, and positivity also helps others.

I know there are also many who follow Gaga for only her music and entertainment.  It really shows when people complain about her spending time on anything other than her music and entertainment.  Helping others is so personally important to Gaga that the time she spends on those endeavors should not be taken from her.  Instead, she should be applauded for doing so much good in the world.

Honestly good for you for understanding what a comparison is  I respect you for having the ability to have a productive conversation when comparing things, even when it comes to Gaga’s career

She’s done plenty, plus what do you rather want: quality which takes time or half-assed performances and livestreams for the sake of an eventful era during a pandemic?

This is so laughable. Gaga is known for being able to produce high quality stuff in short amounts of time. Applause was planned AND filmed in a week she said (if it's even true), and that's a great video. Obviously not everything will be done as fast as that, but she's had ample time to produce more than just 1 MV and performance in 7 months. 7 months is legit longer than the era was even planned to be. So this idea that she needs all this time to produce quality stuff is simply not true when she initially was planning to do the tour, promo, performances, more singles and music videos in under 6 months. Also, nobody is even asking for high quality stuff. A listening party would have been nice, social media activity, even just communication to let us know what is happening. 

And yes, livestreams and half-assed performances are still better than silence.
