Why some Gaga lyrics sometimes seem "bad"

Featured Posts

every songwriter has their fair- share of bad lyrics

from madonna to gaga form katy to nicki

overall gaga is a good songwriter

i dont know why some of you are calling eveyrone a fake fan just becaus they dislike some lyrics

it's just embarrassing

:sharon:

​Nicki needs so many song writers. Katy needs  song writers. They not even real song writers.

Gaga needs her producers (; That's the difference.

And Boys Boys Boys is a inversion of Girls Girls Girls from Mötley Crüe. Musically it is pure pop, but the vibe is definitly: After Killers concert and night full of bar trips >"eating cold pizza in the morning, oh damn, let's buy eggs & cigarettes  [;)]

But you compare Gaga with  Katy and Nicki ^^ Ummmm, okay. See the things how you want them to see (;

Yeah, I heard it on the radio all the time. Habits I think was a hit with emo teens who listened to it on Spotify. 

​You'd be incorrect then :awkney:

Mister Gaga

Most of her lyrics are great for me, specially on BTW. But a small part of them are kinda crap

 

Walk down the runway but don´t puk

It´s okay

You just have a salad today

Okay babe ^^

You've mentioned them, they adorn themselves with so many feathers from other persons.

You have  formulated that this happens to every songwriter: like Gaga, Katy, Nicki - but I just wanted to mention that they ( Katy & Nicki ) are very clever to hide behind real lyricsts.

It was not a real compare, but a generalization.

Peace, okay ?:pawsup:

Love her writing skills, how she thinks outside the box and is herself.

Of course half of this thread is people arguing that she's at best mediocre while pointing out 2 songs that are actually able to back up that claim (not counting the ones that were clearly meant to be humorous yet are taken out of context)... and of course the majority of her lyrics, which are at the very least clever, are being left out of those posts... Not that I expected any different.

No, but they make a fair point in this case. I understand more as a fan, but as a regular listener, I'd be confused as ****

​See, I don't think confusing is a negative. Just because one doesn't like the approach doesn't make it a flaw. She didn't spoon-feed us this time, like I believe she has in some of her earlier works. I appreciate that she gave us lyrics that were deliberately confusing, that weren't so on-the-nose. Esotericism is a bad thing for a generic pop star, but Gaga is more than that.

Also, I think she said this in an interview talking about her time with Marina Abramovic that sometimes she chooses words just because they sound harmonious with the other lyrics, and not necessarily because they're related or make sense. Songwriting is an auditory art as well as a poetic art :D

But there's no excuse for "im shiny and i know it"  though :smh: And as far as her camp lyrics like "rich as piss" and "in the morning buy me eggs," you either hate it or you love it, it's all in the eye of the beholder

If Gaga wants to continue as this "music not the bling" artist and be "more than a generic pop star" (which I doubt), fine. She'll retain her loyal fanbase that will be able to decode her every word, and she'll continue to be misunderstood by the rest of the world.

However, if she wants to continue to cater to a mainstream audience, ​I see her lyrical handiwork as a massive flaw. Contemporary hit radio audiences audiences want "spoon-fed" lyrics; lyrics they can caption their Instagram selfies with; lyrics that can extract a meaning from quickly and sing to themselves repeatedly.

Gaga's songs (lyrically and sonically) to all of Katy's, Beyonce's & Sia's "written" songs
