Aretha had the better voice imo, but they’re not THE very best ever (like AT ALL), they’re very overrated in that specific regard (SNS) Aretha was an ass though, so I’m voting for Whitney

Whitney had a sweet yet powerful voice with clarity... Aretha was a powerhouse soul singer for a different sound and generation Whitney had more wide international appeal and imo has more known hits and songs covered to this day than Aretha

I don’t trust it, it sounds like a fan theory. The Telephone act II thing is very popular, so I bet it’s a fan who wrote this. But, if it turns out to be true... It will be the second time that a fan manage to get to Gaga an Hollywood movie role (Wednesday bc of Bloody Mary).

“I like some of the Jane Campion movies…what the f*ck does she know about musicals?!”

She refuses to do anything new. It's part of the reason Katy fell off too only nostalgia is keeping her head above water. Lizzo doesn't have that luxury.

This reminds me, what happened to @NickiMinajStan? This whole debacle was her soap opera 🍿

I'd like to see her in a non-musical and non-over-the-top role, but ..... if she gets offered a leading role in a high-profile musical remake of a famous movie with a star director should she turn it down ?? No she shouldn't. It could turn out to be a good movie, and even if it doesn't don't forget that they paid her 12m for JFAD.

I hope we never have to hear about these people ever again. I still can’t believe there are people who supported either side considering they are all awful people

Ngl the only time she deserved it is the time she lost and it possibly broke her psyche and turned her into the chart vulture

dance in the dark, marry the night

Already mentioned the biggest bee in my bonnet ^ but I'm also going to say: Shallow can DROWN

Alice Teeth Kill for Love

😬 Alice. The melody and phrasing is so jarring and awkward in my ear.

I'm all for her being a musical queen, but a Jane Campion musical has me worried. Whatever though. Just keep away from rom-coms and I won't complain

Basically Sour Candy and Telephone (with Alice thrown in there *ducks* It's barely a song okay? It has no second verse, it just keeps repeating...). Oh, and the duet version of DWAS (when she sings it on her own like the Mayhem Ball I have much less of a problem with it) that is not Requiem!DWAS. I don't really hate any Gaga songs. I just don't like these as much because to me they stick out from among all the Gaga greatness. Hence dislike.

Some nasty bitter gheys in this thread

Shallow and the performance with Bradley Cooper did nothing for me

I mean, I think Taylor should have zero, so there’s that lmao

Shadow of a Man Diamond Heart Gypsy

By reading the previous posts I can see we all agree on one thing: Gaga should stop taking roles related to music because she needs to separate her stage persona from her acting persona. And I believe that comes from the realization that she is such a good actress! Like somebody said previously, I also really enjoyed her role in HOG and that proved that she doesn’t need her music background to be great as an actress, because she’s just that good. Honestly I can’t wait for her next acting role, but I hope she takes a different road this time. I would love to see her in a Luca Guadagnino’s movie, I can already hear her “LG, Luca Guadagnino, flip it around, Lady Gaga”, no but seriously, I think he could bring out the best of her. Then I would also love to see her in a sci-fi movie.

Y'all are saying "I want her to have more range and expand her filmography," but then in the next sentence say "She should do horror"...Like, what?? Gaga's main brand is that she leans into the alternative, dark, gothic/horror shtick. She literally just did that for MAYHEM, and she's already been in horror (or horror-adjacent) projects. If she really wants to go out of her wheelhouse, she should do a romantic comedy or something. Personally, I'd rather her do something different than musicals, but I'm also not opposed to that. What she really needs is a good script and direction. ASIB is by far and away her best movie, and that was a musical. I also think her mindset might've changed regarding how she tackles acting. I feel like in the beginning, she was extremely keen on being taken as a "serious" actor, and while that got her her first Oscar nom (which I feel like isn't talked about enough cause that's huge), I think people were turned off by the way she approached it. The ASIB press tour was memed to death, and the entirety of HoG was bad (both talking about the movie and the press run). She lightened up with Joker, and after the abysmal reaction that film got, I think she's taken a "f*ck it, I'm just gonna do what I think interests me or is fun" approach ever since. That's what got her Wednesday and Devil Wears Prada. I'm all in for her acting career because I'm equally a fan of TV and film as much as music. I just hope she picks the right projects, no matter what style or genre they are. But tbf, on paper, HoG and Joker seemed excellent; she was just extremely unlucky imo.

I dont think we have enough paper to make a big enough diagram 😂

I agree. Whitney never topped the emotion in performances like this However, I voted Whitney. At her peak her voice was just....sent from God. I'm not religious but performances like this just make you believe. Aretha wins on pure emotional delivery but Whitney wins on making you believe that something bigger is in the room with you
