John Wayne 4,215 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I've been listening to Melodrama on repeat for the past few days and I'm amazed by Lorde's writing skills. The metaphors she uses are so uniqe and brilliant. Honestly I think that she is a much better songwriter than Gaga.  Discuss hunties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
He8MyHeart 9,522 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think they're on par, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterious 26,867 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I guess so, Lorde is more focused on the songwriting, meanwhile Gaga is more on the interpretation and the attitude of the song, that doesnt mean that Gaga's lyrics are bad (far from this) but to answer your question Yes Lorde is a better songwriter than Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Nook 37,718 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well Gaga can easily write catchy pop hooks so she wins that round, but when it comes to in depth songs then Lorde is a beast Uh Red Wine... Convict... Gah Gah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee 1,778 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 A. They write different types of songs I guess B. Gaga has always had high and low points in her writing, her best work is in the songs she allows other input conclusion: yes lorde is a more skillful writer, but that doesn't discount Gagas discography or talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazaar 5,677 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 They're quite different so I can't compare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,879 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think they have their respective charms, Gaga is insanely talented in metaphorical writing and Lorde is really good at just being honest and writing relatable songs. I can't really compare them since their styles are so different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Melo 50 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Aren't they too different for a reasonable comparison? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I really love Melodrama, but I will say her heartbroken, "I've been so betrayed" lyrics sometimes get a little exhausting and redundant. Among the many lyrical routes Gaga takes, I love her vividly visual, sexual, and tongue in cheek lyrics the best Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.

Young Pancake 691 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yes, Lorde is a better writer but Gaga writes catchier songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 No not at all, Gaga is waaaay better. Joanne was full of meaningful lyrics. Lorde is good, but not better than Gaga End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
