sexy 3,164 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Born This Way cuz it was the first time she really took an extended break. The streak from Just Dance to Marry the Night was rapidfire and exhilarating, song after song, video after video, she was everywhere, her performances were a spectacle, and she still so much mystery around her. This period was peak, quintessential Gaga, and I remember that it was very palpable toward the end (specifically the MTN era) that this insane run was coming to end and we'd be entering into an extended drought. then everything that happened with AP, her announcing it with the intention of it coming out much earlier than it did, the concept changing, unfulfilled aspirations for the album, etc. was so chaotic in comparison to TF/TFM/BTW, which all came across as extremely organized and intentional. even tho the gap between ARTPOP and Joanne was longer than between BTW and ARTPOP, it felt so so so much longer. idk, that specific wait between albums was so ****ing excruciating. it was super exciting, but also like holy **** when is this thing coming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controversiaga 9,460 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I think born this way due to the hip injury and tour cancellation , and ARTPOP as well, due to the whole era never being fully satisfying Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,323 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 On the one hand born this way cause it happened so quickly and out of nowhere and was followed by a blackout and ARTPOP because we had such high expectations and there was so much potential but we all know how it went Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
numb the flame 7,319 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Personally, it’s Chromatica (and Joanne to an extent) Chromatica helped me deal with my issues from October 2016, attending TCB felt like such a release and was the happiest weekend I’ve had in so long. I’ve bought so much merch, bought so many copies of Chromatica purely down to how much it helped me and my love for it. I’m still not over the era no matter how many droughts we went through etc. JWT getting cancelled the day before I was due to see her after everything I went through in October 2016 broke me for quite some time too.

HeavyMetal Halcyon 1,515 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I’m surprised at how many people said ARTPOP. The album was great, but due to how messy the rollout was I personally think it was the easiest to let go of. We got a ton of material and performances, and if I want to, I can go relive that era. I also felt the most unattached to Gaga at the time, especially coming off the born this way era where I was completely enthralled in everything she did and she helped me come out. I felt like it wasn’t as easy to brag about Gaga during the ARTPOP era as it was with other Eras. For the same and yet strangely opposite reason I would say Chromatica. It’s hard to explain but I feel like we only got a slice of the full picture, and I find myself really wishing there was more. It’s harder for me to admit that this is all we’ll get from Chromatica and we may not ever see a sine from above or plastic doll performance. It just feels…. Incomplete? I also recognize that due to the traumatic times of Chromatica, (Personal AND global) I hyper fixated on the album quite a bit.

Modern Ecstasy2 2,193 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Born This Way of course. I was at the last show and I knew it was over, you could just tell. I still remember the day she tweeted about everything that had been going on. It was rough times. “Delete this thread that person is not Gaga he is a hot blonde twink” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsomniaMonster69 3,084 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Born this way cause it ended sudden and quick! Close Second is Chromatica cause I have the feeling that the concept had so much potential and I refuse to believe that we got everything they planned on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at this.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the only time Gaga has felt so relevant that my friends would be talking about her and saying how amazing she is. In the UK she had the number #1 film, song and album at the same time, and it just felt like she was on top of the world. Gaga said to Bradley that he 'brought her back to life' doing ASIB and I believe in many ways it did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was wild. That transition was effin crazy like ok now that your my fan here's some old ass jazz music and your gonna love it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at this.. Oh, I completely remember all of the “promised” video/app/music/singles/etc, and I recognize that it’s not her fault at all. I just think that’s why it was easier for me to let go of this era. It felt like there was no saving it after some time and Gaga needed to rest and regroup after the trauma she was experiencing. It was hard watching her struggle with ARTPOP if that makes more sense? Chromatica Forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
