JEANBO 364 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I hope she doesn't meltdown. I hate all those "critics" giving bad reviews just because it's Gaga. :madge: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla 7,595 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 ....hasn't it been getting mostly positive reviews? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister 9,907 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think publicity in general is a very destructive thing, for any artist… It always is a problem. Because even if it’s good, the extent to which you get all this attention is an extra thing for you to take account of. You start thinking about your work as an outsider  you start being aware of… what other people think of you. And you become self-conscious… It’s taking your attention away from your own business. - Susan Sontag After my first listen to Cheek To Cheek I knew it wasn't going to get the rave reviews people here thought it would. The postive reviews that it is getting are mostly based on Tony's good name. Like Annie Lennox's new collection of standards Cheek To Cheek has a cheesyness about it, it's for old folks. Tony and Gaga didn't reinvent the wheel with Cheek To Cheek, they didn't exactly breath new life into the songs. But that isn't stopping me from enjoying it. I hope she doesn't have a meltdown, and I wish she would stop contributing to the narrative that ARTPOP was a flop. I just hope she puts her head down and keeps creating art.Agreed and hopeful. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uo111 5,261 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Let's be honest these songs have been covered millions of times by actual legends. But no one expected her to out do them, and if they did they are idiots. The one negative review I could find (through metacritic no less) bashed the album as a publicity stunt (great, focusing on the music ) and bashed Gaga's voice. You might be thinking, "well of course they are going to focus on her voice, she sings during the album" but they even bashed Goody Goody because of her, because they found her talking insufferable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychedelic 1,098 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I did not know, it was not being so well received by critics... Knowing Gaga, this might hurt her! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

destinyofself 1,006 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 This isn't that bad, and this is the worst I've seen. All the other reviews I've seen have been great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo 4,291 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 ....hasn't it been getting mostly positive reviews?By far. The meltdown is among "fans" like the OP. I doubt Gaga gives a **** about Metacritic. At this point, I don't think anyone else should, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brizoda 3,846 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 it must be hard to swallow for Gaga that some critics judge her work on the hate toward her persona, not by musical parameters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 59,023 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 They gave it 3.5/5 stars. It's 3/5 not 3.5/5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faux 2,190 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Most attack the facts that she's either using jazz to get away from her failure in pop or that she oversings and tries to outdo Tony failure in pop oops she didn't sell 20 million records this time :madge: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melech 9,900 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I don't get why people don't like it. Different tastes I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well, she and we already know the situation, in my opinion this time she shouldn't show that she care or that she feels bad for sales or bad reviews (that are not based on music but hate). This time she shouldn't give a **** because is what haters are expecting from her and they do it on purpose. I hope that the first will be her fans to not have this kind of behaviour complaining or having meltdown about sales or reviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee 2,528 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 AFAICT, it's of absolutely no importance outside of idiot stan world. Yeah. The idea, I guess, is to provide an "objective" version of critical opinion by averaging many reviews. But as we see, there are some problems with that. That's a very good question. To me, it mostly looks like a problem for the credibility of Metacritic. Thank you Nemo! The idea of a website which would truly just provide a kind of aggregate critical opinion doesn't seem too bad for me, but when it distinguishes from its original purpose to serve as an objective source and starts involving strange tactics of applying prejudgment towards some artists or products, it's just :millie: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
