Didymus 34,379 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It is her own interpretation and I don't like it. That's not the end of the world, you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky Kit Kat 14 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Incredible performance. I've watched it a lot of times already. It's that good. I'm here for RockGa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAce 1,058 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 A good performance but so far all she has she has proved is that she has a better Jazz voice than a rock voice. Her Jazz is effortless where as her rock seems to be strained. Maybe needs some Rock Vocal coaching The terms Rock and Vocal Coaching just dont belong together.

Interludicrous 15 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The second verse and some of the other screaming is just her having fun, but the pre-choruses and the more soft parts are absolute vocal heaven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAce 1,058 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 All the complaining about the screaming and how she messed up on the last chorus... I mean... Who cares if it's not perfect? It's just a rock song - no dancers - no backing track - no routine - no meaning beyond the lyrics and the emotion of the performer - it's not supposed to be anything but what it was. Gaga was just going for it with her band. I doubt anybody in that arena could make the same complaints some of you are making. Dont just blame ARTPOP for her confidence not being what it used to be. She has a group of very vocal fans who don't want her to just exist in the moment on her own stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC 64 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 **** me... a classic and she NAILED IT!! I love Linda and the orignla, but i feel Gaga's voice just took this song to a whole new level . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsOnlyAshleigh 2 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I find myself watching this 10 times a day.. I love everything about this performance. Her vocals, her attitude, and she seems to be really enjoying herself. I wish I could have been there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyPunkLover 2,120 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 How people can even think that this is a bad cover? I mean: really? She is pitch perfect. Her rock is what I'm waiting for since a long time! Hope to get soon (lol) a rock album.

Dayum 240 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 At first, the pre-chorus is marvellous. The mixture of soft melodies and sudden escalation to bursts of voice-straining are a perfect combination to me. I can feel her connecting to the lyrics, that she genuinely cares about what's going on. Subsequent frequent screechings just strain the eardrums, as if all previous hints of musical direction were discarded. A little too try-hard methinks. She makes the chorus less entertaining than the original; it feels a little underwhelming. And the last chorus: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayum 240 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just because Linda does her thing on stage doesn't mean Gaga has to scream just as much or more and doesn't mean we have to like it. Cool if you did tho. This Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayum 240 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 She took all the meaning and the feeling out of the song and made it an opportunity to showcase her exhaustivelly addressed "diversity" as an entertainer. Agreed. Very exhaustive indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerlinCalling 8 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I loved this song when I was a child so this cover is really emotional for me. :emo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltaire 4,531 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The good thing about all this, even if you're not a fan of the performance (i am), is that the music writers are giving her all positive write-ups. Idolator NME Radio.com Vulture fuse.tv Capital FM NewNowNext and more have put out articles with the video The best comes from Spin: But if there's one woman who fears no entry in the Sunfly songbook, it just might be Lady Gaga, who took on the 1993 crossover hit with typical full-throated elan at her ArtRave show in Vienna over the weekend, putting an oomph into her rendition that makes even Perry herself sound uncommitted by comparison. ------ Even the times on the verses where she can't quite reach the high notes, her performance is so emotionally (and physically!) invested that you can't really be anything but awed by it. This is just another great move to keep her in the right light for successful next-era promo. Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaFire Witch 160 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm so here for a classic rock / ballad style album Classic Rock?! I feel so old. I was a teenager when this song came out. Feels like yesterday. I was going NUTS over Gaga singing this song on twitter and I guess Linda Perry saw my passion because next thing I see she starts following ME! I wanna see Gaga do an alternative ROCK album in the future! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
