I think it's her best after Bad Romance tbh.

And the album is shaping up fantastic. With more "classic-like" songs, probably Paradise, Florence collab, Beck something...

Good some people enjoy it. I was sure everyone would be on a meltdown. That's good.

It's simple Beck, the artistic name. I can see you enjoying "Lonesome Tears", probably.

I know who Beck is. :madge:

They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.

It would have been praised everywhere if it was a Sia song. But it's Lady Gaga.

Why is she held to such an insane standard?

Don't get me wrong I love Adele, but are these: 

'Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing'

REALLY HONESTLY TRULY, better lyrics than these:

'Tryin' to get control
Pressure's takin' its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know'

I mean, is Perfect Illusion a songwriting masterpiece? Absolutely not, but neither is ANY of the music currently out.

The Sia comparison was ridiculous, Sia 100% uses pitch correction, I don't know why they're trying to pretend she doesn't.

They complain about Gaga being conservative during the past couple of years. First of all, do you expect her to perform a Sound of Music medley at the Oscars wearing an outrageous outfit? Secondly, if she were still wearing outrageous outfits they would say she isn't evolving as an artist. Not to mention they bashed her 'Gaganess' earlier in the article anyway.

This entirely. Music journalism is a joke nowadays because these "journalists" can't seem to analyze, even for a moment, a piece of music without context

Honestly at first I wasn't sure if I liked the song but I've been listening to it for most of the day and I can now confirm that I'm obsessed with it!!! Can't get it out of my head!

I think that's what it means :sweat: He has quite high standarts so a praise from him will be cool.

Can we post all the reviews in this thread?

Everyone keeps making a new thread for each review when they're almost all here... I think its much simpler and clean to keep it in once place as well.

I get so annoyed that people and music listeners look to these critics to decide whether or not the song is good or not. Journalists are trained and taught to be unbiased/neutral to absolutely everything they report on - when they're giving their opinion on something, it's merely their opinion. Their opinion is as relevant and valid as mine, yours and my neighbours. 

Thankfully it has been received well. I thought the unconventional structure of the song would not annoyed critics but it seems they're here for it. I think her vocals are so f*cking on point. The verses give me Roxette vibes and it's given me the life I've needed for so long. It's such a good song!
