Chromatica Ball

Not as good as I thought that it was going to be, really enjoyed it though.

Turning up emotional faders Keep repeating self-hating phrases I have heard enough of these voices Almost like I have no choice This is biological stasis My mood's shifting to manic places Wish I laughed and kept the good friendships Watch life, here I go again

Keep my dolls inside diamond boxes Save them 'til I know I'm gon' drop this front I've built around me, oasis Paradise is in my hand Holding on so tight to this status It's not real but I'll try to grab it Keep myself in beautiful places Paradise is in my hands 💗

Concert movies are a common way for artists to monetize events, but the quality of the music and the live performance show are crucial factors in making an exceptional concert film. Lady Gaga's Chromatica Ball, filmed live at Dodgers Stadium in California with over 52,000 monsters in attendance, represents multiple eras of her music in a visually striking love letter to her extensive catalogue. The film features seamless editing, trippy visuals, projection, strobing lights, flashy pyrotechnics, and intricate dance moves, making it one of Gaga's best ever performances. The concert splits into four distinct acts, topped off by a jaw-dropping finale. While some staples may be absent, Chromatica Ball gets an awful lot right about what a dream Gaga setlist would be, including some deeper cuts. The full catwalk, constantly changing set, and multiple costume changes add an extra burst of pizazz. Bizarre interludes for Chromatica carry us over into different elements of the show, with visuals onscreen melding with the images, such as effects during "Telephone." Gaga's flawless vocals are paired with masterful stage design, and the stage itself is a constantly moving tapestry of beauty. Big, booming instrumentals each have their moment to shine, with "Babylon" serving as an iconic, gold-tinged highlight. In summary, Lady Gaga's Chromatica Ball is an epic concert that showcases her diverse musical eras and the power of her live performance show. Fans can now enjoy a front row ticket to her most ambitious show yet, thanks to Gaga herself. Gaga's variety show, Gaga Chromatica Ball, is a captivating performance that showcases her greatest hits. She effortlessly transitions from high-energy fun to inspirational themes, and her piano performances are particularly impressive. Gaga's ability to incorporate her true feelings without making them into a pep talk is evident, as she encourages the audience to celebrate their pride and makes "Born This Way" a major part of the show. Her personality is filtered through every frame, creating a deeply touching portrait of Mother Monster without requiring talking head interviews. The show falls within the realm of a concert movie, leaving viewers feeling as if they were in the room with the thousands of other Monsters. While it is unclear how strongly people will connect to this, those with a casual interest in Gaga's sound or persona are likely to be watching. A concert movie is about giving back to the warm, accepting masses that have loved Gaga since the beginning. The show leaves a lasting impression on the audience, whether they are wiping away tears from emotional ballads or singing along to the lyrics from the comfort of their living room.

From the moment the show begins, it's clear that Gaga has meticulously crafted an experience that transcends a typical concert, blending music, theater, and visual art into a seamless and exhilarating spectacle. Lady Gaga's Chromatica Ball is a masterclass in live performance. It's a bold, ambitious, and unforgettable show that showcases her unparalleled talent and visionary artistry. Whether you're a die-hard Little Monster or a casual listener, this concert is an experience that leaves an indelible mark, reminding us all of the transformative power of music and performance. The editing of the movie, done by Gaga herself, honoured her fans all over the world!

I enjoyed this concert film immensely. While I can say the tour is minute compared to her previous efforts, Gaga has grown as a person, both musically and personally, and this tour represented that growth. From the stage to costumes, it's manifested. I noticed this concert film is not as refined as The Monster Ball but I commend Gaga for handling most of the editing and production, I enjoyed the effects even tho some shots made me quite dizzy watching them. Watching this concert special reminded me why I love Gaga, she always gives her best each and every performance. It's a shame she couldn't do more than 20 dates but hoping to see her in the next tour. I love you, Gaga!

I agree with this part of the phaseadm review: A concert full of great music, dance, amazing costumes and scenography... plus the voice of Lady Gaga, who is brilliant live.

The problem is the unwatchable hyperactive camerawork and editing that stays too close and constantly changes every second or two. For the dancing, I want to see most of the dancers together instead of cuts between random dancers from random angles. I would like to more of the entire stage that the stadium audience sees. When Gaga is singing, I want to see more of Gaga, similar to what the audience is seeing on the big screens on the sides of the stage.
