Celebuzz Calls Gaga One of Greatest Pop Stars of All Time, Defends PI

[Mama Ru 994]

Some highlights:

Superficially, “Perfect Illusion” is the story of love lost — ahem, Taylor Kinney — of waking up one morning to realize the love you thought you had in your heart was never really there to begin with. “It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love, it was a perfect illusion / Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love, it was a perfect illusion,” Gaga sings on the chorus, which devours most of the song. According to Gaga, though, the song is also about living in the age of social media, in which everyone curates and edits their lives to look better, shinier, more whole than they are in reality. What you see, what you’re double-tapping, isn’t necessarily truthful. Love and Instagram: Two things nearly every music listener can relate to. This double-meaning is in keeping with Gaga’s M.O. as a songwriter; it’s a tactic she’s put to great use on songs like “Poker Face,” “Paparazzi,” and “Do What U Want,” and her penchant for writing this way is what makes her one of the greatest pop stars of all time.

...

Others have said the song is lacking melody, which is patently untrue and a bizarre thing to say about a song that focuses so insistently on its core melody that it eventually self-references with a pretty epic key change toward the end.

But enough about detractors, who would still find a way to deride the song even if it could be scientifically proven that it’s 10 times better than “Bad Romance.” The bottom line is that the song is good — very good, possibly great — and it is arguably her most immediate single since, let’s say, “The Edge of Glory.”

...

Take that Guardian! Celebuzz knows the tea.

YOU BETTER STAN FOR PI

[DangoMango 36]

If PI was good it wouldn't need defending. It would speak for itself.  

[Shipper 13,077]

Celebuzz has been stanning Gaga for a long time. Glad they are still stanning NOW.

I love PI because of its rock pop vibes. It is so different from the popular music this season.

It's called taste.

All of Gaga's songs, even Bad Romance have been defended at some point.

But none of said songs needed defending. White knights just come out of the woodworks for a Disney Princess.

Not everything speaks for itself, especially when an artist is modest, humble, and when this world is entirely too cruel.

I know you f*ucking despise this song, but honestly, you're ruining everyone else's time.

Then why did lady gaga need to defend her work for so long early on in her career? Now her early work is considered great.

Bitch I don't have the time. I have a life. Not much of one but I still have one. I also don't have the history of Gaga's haters on my hard drive.

Yeah you're definitely just posing as a Gaga fan on this forum since you're a 'Newbie' that joined like 12 hours ago. Please deactivate your account, we don't NEED you here, thanks.
