My Perfect Illusion response- to the 'haters'.

[Born Brave 2,072]

I have been reading the comments and thoughts of other members this morning and i've replied to a few of them. I feel so strongly about this I decided to make my own thread for discussion. 

 

I think that this song Marks a moment for her where she decided, enough with the try hard lyrics. I am going to write a song about how I feel and just tell you about it with my voice. She doesn't speak the lyrics, she sings all of them. There are no complex metaphors hidden within metaphors. The topic is something that everyone that has ever been involved with a breakup can relate to and the production is near flawless. Chemically and lyrically and cohesively, this is her best work to date. Come for me for saying that if you want, but if you want to release a successful song in 2016, you have to write about something that people live through- Applause was not something that everyone could bounce in their mind and say "ive been there" because my mother thought she was talking about raccoons when she said "Koons is me". DWUW missed it because R.Kelly is a sexual offender and people thought.. "She's really singing a song about Doing What U Want with my body with a guy who has had sexual misconduct issues?" (Bad idea). And G.U.Y. no one cared at that point because the first two singles were so meh. 

PI is the real deal. It has it all. 

To people who think the song is repetitive: 

Work work work work work work work work work....... billboard smash hit. That's all. 

To the people who say "I didn't sign up for this" "Im turnin in my stan card"

 

You're basically saying that Gaga is condemned to your particular tastes. That's not a healthy way to view a musician or artist. If you want sugary pop there's great news for you... The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way, and ARTPOP still exist. PI's existence and creation did not banish your ability to recall those tracks or listen to them. Have at it. 

Britney Spears just released a great new pop album called "Glory". It's so sugary you'll become diabetic. 

Gaga does not owe anyone a particular style. She is an artist. This is like dragging a new iPhone model because you miss the previous models size, layout, and the way it felt in your hand. No one is sticking a gun to your head and saying "YOU HAVE TO BUY THE NEW IPHONE AND LIKE IT". But the market called for them to make a bigger screen so they made a bigger screen. 

Think of Gaga's artistic vision as the market and PI as the newest model. Keep your 5S. Keep your 2008 sound. Keep your signed hard copy of the terms and conditions you set forth in your mind for what Gaga must do to keep you happy and move along. 

 

When this song slays for the next 6 months you might be signing up for something different because this whole post was made out of fear of PI being a "flop". That's what this is really all about. Because almost every "you're going to drag me for saying this" post has literally been about that when you read the fine print. 

Now excuse me.. im going to rape this repeat button on PI again.

THIS! We all want Gaga to be successful but I definitely think some people have their particular feelings about the song based on concern for how other people might be responding to it. I get it, I would love it to smash and for the world to go crazy for it, but people have to draw the line at some point and find their own enjoyment in the song rather than being concerned with how everyone else feels about it and whether it will 'flop' or not.
