REALITY 77,468 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 In the wait of LG5, I've started re-watching old performances, and I ran into this acoustic performance of Applause again. It's so interesting and so different from the original, studio version. This performance not only showcases her vocal abilities a lot more, but it almost makes the song sound tragic—in the sense that it sounds mysterious and saddening. Dare I say I'm starting to like this acoustic performance better than the original version. So, I was wondering: What if Applause had been released as a ballad? Would it have done better or worse than the studio version? 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔲𝔰𝔦𝔠'𝔰 𝔤𝔬𝔫𝔫𝔞 𝔟𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔪𝔢 𝔟𝔞𝔠𝔨 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔡𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuuri 21,636 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It depends how it was recorded. If it was something like Marry The Night or Eh Eh, it could have done bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varo Yan 2,984 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 S o m e t i m e s I think that acoustic, piano ballad versions of Gaga's songs (when she always performing so great) are better than originals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipper 13,090 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Her acoustic/ live performances are always so unique and wonderful because you get to hear the one she released vs. the piano version. I still want her to release an album of her hits but all done in piano. The songs she releases makes you interested in her music but it's these performances that really make you fall in love with her talent. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapGin 589 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Ballad would have taken itself too seriously to be successful. Because it's a fun dance song it laughs at itself in a way, like most of ARTPOP in the ways that it's cheeky, but not as much so when presented as a ballad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
