Rank Every Performance From Chromatica Ball

[King of the Fall 3,836]

I was lucky enough to attend the Chromatica Ball and I have still not recovered from the greatness, her best tour since Monster Ball. The entire show was fantastic but I decided to rank the performance of each song, this is obviously just my opinion and I am curious to see what everyone else thinks as well.

22. Hold My Hand. Great vocals but just not a song I especially enjoy, although it really works in the context of the movie

21. Just Dance. A classic hit she has overplayed to death on tour, it was pretty forgettable compared to other numbers.

20. Telephone. Another overplayed hit.

19. Stupid Love. Good performance, not one of her better songs.

18.  Bad Romance. Some people don't like how she did not move but I thought the concept was cool.

17. Poker Face. It was cool to experience live but not a standout from the show.

16. Alice. This is when things really start to kick off, the outfit is so cool but there are much better songs from this segment of the concert.

15. Born This Way, I don't prefer how slow she performed the majority of the song but when she kicks it into full gear at the end it was great.

14.  Angel Down, this was the low point of the piano segment yet it was still really good.

13. Rain On Me. Great song, I love the outfit.

12. Free Woman. Again, the outfit is magnificent.

11. Fun Tonight One of the more emotional moments of the evening.

10. Shallow. The power of her voice in this one was simply incredible, crowd really seemed to love it.

9. 1,000 Doves Experiencing this live gave me a new appreciation for the song, loved when she went into those soft high notes.

8. LoveGame. Yeah its overplayed but still so danmm good, her attitude and stage presence are really in full effect here.

7. 911. So much intensity in the way she did this one and as we all know, that transition from Chromatica II is godlike.

6. Sour Candy. Those Screams are still in my head.

5. Always Remember Us This Way. The most emotional moment of the entire show by far, I actually cried a bit.

4. Replay. The best song on Chromatica being completely killed by one of the greatest performers to ever live, whats not to love?

3. Enigma. Just Gaga and her microphone controlling a crowd like nobody else.

2. Babylon. Everything about this just screams iconic, the outfit and the choreography were so cool.

1. Monster. The nostalgia is just so strong, the crowd went nuts and oh my god that red jacket and dark glasses reveal was the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Monster & Babylon are the only one that I really like from this tour

[Benji 20,113]

The show was so strong, I feel blessed to have seen it 

I don’t have any low lights but my personal highlights;

Fun Tonight
Probably my fave song from Chromatica.  It felt like a really special moment to me.

Rain On Me
It’s a pandemic anthem.  It came out and was being blasted in the clubs as lockdown was being lifted so to see it live kind of brought all of those years to an end.

Replay
Truly insane live.  If Gaga includes deep cuts on her next tour/s then Replay deserves to be included.

Monster
I didn’t get to go to the Monsterball so getting to hear this song live for the first time and her paying homage to the Monsterball… ICONIC 

As said above, the whole show was insane and is probably my favourite Gaga tour yet.  Normally there’s only one moment or two that sticks out to me or strikes a chord like CBT did but there were multiple moments that moved me.  Just 10/10.

[ProfessionalClown 10,645]

Not you putting hold my hand at the bottom when it’s top 3.

22. Just Dance - Simple chill performance 

21. Poker Face- same as Just Dance

20. Bad Romance - same as the Just Dance

19. Lovegame - Really fun but also just another song we’ve heard a lot. Doesn’t take away from the fun though, just nothing new.

18. Telephone - Nothing new but still really fun:

17. 1000 Doves - Didn’t see this live bc i was at an Angel Down show (first one lol) but really sad it wasn’t the the regular version. 

16. Alice - Very simple performance but the OUTFITTTT. I wanted choreo but I def understand why she didn’t:

15. Shallow - Iconic but also just kinda there as we’ve heard it a lot already. Still fun

14. Stupid Love - So much fun and pretty great to see her enjoying herself. I did feel as if she was getting kinda tired during this and ROM though pretty consistently.

13. Rain On Me - So much fun and really amazing to see live. Killed it, but sadly like stupid love I feel as if she bit off more than she could chew with some choreo 

12. The Edge Of Glory - I cried ngl hearing this. The entire crowd was SINGING.

11. Free Woman - So much fun seeing her just strut through the crowd and vibe with everyone. Such a fun way to bring the audience into the song.

10. Fun Tonight - very emotional and brought justice to an underrated song fr

9. Born This Way - The usual like every other single but the magic was definitely still there, especially being in Texas for me:

8. Angel Down - Yeah I cried really hard during this. I was at the first show she played and it hit all of us really hard. It was by far the better performance of the song. the Joanne tour holds no candle to this performance.

7. Babylon - She killed it with the choreo and the outfit and you can tell she had so much fun.

6. Always Remember Us This Way - My fave ASIB song and the fact that she sang it was CRAZY. Killed it and seriously she sounded SO GOOD.

5. 911 - everything. Iconic. the moment. Choreo, the backing track, the visuals, all the xtra bits. AH I love it:

4. Sour Candy - Didn’t expect this to be that good of a performance but man she went OFFFF on the choreo and vocals.

3. Replay - Yeah this is top tier gaga. Always. She absolutely killed it in every single sense of the word. The song hits so much harder irl and then the instrumental mixed with the remix version SLAYED.

2. Monster - Oh we all know this is top 3 I ain’t even gotta explain. 

1. Enigma - Did not expect this song to hit hard AT ALL in the stadium but oh my god not a single person stopped dancing the entire time. It was truly a party. Vocals, instrumental, everything was top notch and the vibes were immaculate.

 

Best of the night: 

Hold My Hand. A masterpiece. Her vocals were top tier, the outfit was EVERYTHING, the instrumental was shaking the entire stadium. When she hit the bridge and hit the belt, everyone was going crazy and I seriously could not believe how good this song was live. It went from a “meh” studio track to a song she NEEDS to play every tour now. Idc. It’s a need. This was a song MADE for the stadium and she bodied every bit of it 

[PMM 3,220]

it depends on where we were standing

[faysalaaa 3,134]

Enigma and Replay are the only performances I enjoy watching

[Bat 6,162]

I was nearly front row in the middle so Replay was just insane. But also opening with BR was a very nice moment. I loved Babylon&Free Woman. BTW and Enigma were also fun. 

Songs like Lovegame and Telephone just don’t do it for me anymore, they've been played sooooo much with absolutely no changes at all, I can’t bear to listen to them.

[TimotheeChalamet 5,072]

I've not experienced it live because she skipped Italy, so based on videos I'd say

1. Replay 

(do I have to explain why? Put your ****ing hands up) 

2. Babylon

(top choreography and visuals, killer vocals on the ending) 

3. Hold My Hand

(there's something special about Gaga alone on stage singing her heart out) 

4. Enigma

(same as above, but without flames) 

5. Always Remember Us This Way

(this song is gold, and the performance with piano + band is perfect) 

6. Sour Candy

(it's my least favorite song from Chromatica but the energy I've seen from its live performance really elevates it. Also: "aaaaaaah") 

7. Alice 

(very nice, the lights could've been better but it was a strong moment with a beautiful outfit) 

8. Monster

(nostalgic and fun, would love a new choreography though since it reprises the Monster Ball and Bloody Mary from JWT) 

9. Born This Way

(the mix of acoustic and studio was fire and this song still hits hard) 

10. Shallow

(very powerful vocals on this one and nice alien headpiece, that's it) 

11. 911

(this song is damn hard to sing while dancing, I wish she kept the outro)

12. Bad Romance

(unexpected as an intro and powerful as always, but it's the same old version) 

13. Free Woman

(the walk in the audience is a  highlight of the show, but it took away some vocal moments and the outro is LONG) 

14. Just Dance

(cool intro but it was a bit stiff and distant. Love the new choreo of the dancers stretching their arms to Gaga and the moving backdrop) 

15. Poker Face 

(it really needs a live rearrangement but it's still fire; bonus: the psychotic laugh in the latter dates) 

16. Love Game

(overplayed, but nice to hear it in full again and with the band outro accompanied by Gaga's sexy moves; also, the left catwalk was used) 

17. The Edge of Glory

(gorgeous to hear in acoustic, but it was the same version of Joanne World Tour) 

18. 1000 Doves

(I liked that she played the demo version, which I think it's superior than the studio minus the missing bridge. It's acoustic rawness is powerful, but not so memorable overall as a performance) 

19. Stupid Love

(very cool intro and outro and flame effects, but the choreography is exhausting: being a closing number, it showed) 

20. Fun Tonight

(nice mix of acoustic + studio but a bit empty as a performance) 

21. Angel Down

(beautiful song but a bit out of place in the show, especially during a lengthy piano segment) 

22. Rain On Me

(disappointing in my opinion: it would've been better as the encore, at least she could've had some time to breathe; also, some confetti/water/foam effect on the audience would have been cool) 

23. Telephone

(the short version she keeps performing has become pointless, plus she sings it with no passion)

The costume change bit, when she gets covered by the dancers

Oh I've always seen that as the Monster performance from the Monster Ball!

Yes but the following walk with crawling dancers reminded me of BM

True, my favorite song from her and when I saw the moment, I was really sad
