I admit, sure, her voice is a bit strong for Jazz on the album, but she's not trying to be anyone else but herself. Ella would be proud, I think.

The review is mostly personal attack, aside from the thing about her voice. But, I mean, that's her ****ing voice. :smh: You can't please 'em all, I guess. Especially not some hipster blog that should really just stuck to reviewing the edgy indie music they love so much.

 

Next! :)

Slant who? Who cares what they have to say. They're not no f*cking Rolling Stone or a music publication that ACTUALLY matters. Where do they think they have the right to say anything's good or bad when I've never heard of them up until I became a member on GGD?

DAMN

 

The tone used in that paragraph is completely out of line. I don't know what it is about celebrities where people think it's ok to be as cruel as they want... especially when judging something as harmless as a music cd?!  Even if you hate the material, all critiques should conform to a certain standard of civility. The fact that this kind of list even exists is really sad. I don't even care about Gaga's reviews but it shocks me that these kinds of personal attacks are allowed by Slant. 

 

I feel like writing them a letter.  :zilla:

The last sentence kinda hurts

I disagree -- the last sentence is the one that marks the reviewer as an asshole whose opinions aren't worth considering. Up to that point, he was merely wrong.

This, exactly.

I live outside the space time continuum.

Normally I'd be calling people out for getting too sulky and butthurt over a bad review -- but Slant having the TOP ELEVEN for the sake of including it is pretty ridiculous. Who the hell makes a "top 11" list? They could have just had a top 10 and pulled some honorable mentions out of their butt instead. Plenty to choose from this year.

who the fu@k gives a sh!t what slant says? The world overwhelmingly disagrees. 

 

P.S. Who does a list of 11? Usually it would be 10. Did they make it 11 just to include her?

They literally did :lmao:

 

They admit it in the Guetta 'review'

 

"There were plenty of deserving nominees for our list of the worst albums of the 2014. There were so many worthy aspirants, in fact, that we couldn't in good conscience limit ourselves to just 10."

 

Gaga ha impact :legend:

Well...at least Gaga doesn't hire amateure 'critics' to write in her magazine. I mean the writer is clearly a hater who somehow (who knows how...lol) got a chance to write there. Plus, he seems to have huge knowledge about music :smh:

I guess, 800,000+ sales, a Grammy nomination and overwhelming critical acclaim beg to disagree... :emma:
