petty 9,412 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 So first things first, I know that my personal opinion on this single is irrelevant. I'm in no way making this post because I want to bash Gaga or want more people to agree with the way I feel on this. I just have a lot that I want to get out there since there isn't many people i can talk about Gaga to IRL. When I first heard PI, the tone of her voice mixed with the background instantly made my stomach drop to my stomach in distaste. As the song went on, things seemed to get worse with over-production and once they key-changed, I cringed so much I almost shut the song off. It was in this moment that I felt like the little amount of expectations I tried to have were crushed. I thought, how could they **** this up? Mark Ronson as a producer should not have signed off on the un-finished sounding production. I ran to the comments on my favorite blog and saw mixed reviews, more hate than love though, which began to justify my dislike for what I had heard. In this moment I felt like the comeback I hyped myself up for was all for nothing. Even after trying to go into this with little to no expectations. I felt so let down that I felt legit sad, as if I had lost a competition or some kind of game. But then, I sat back and collected myself. I thought, who the **** am I? What the **** am I doing and why is another woman's single (who has no idea I exist) ruining my entire mood and night? Why am I letting this get to me? This is not my song, I was no where near the process of making this music. So who am I to be upset over this? What have I done for Gaga that she deserves to give me the music that I expected? And, it was then that I slapped myself in the face and woke up. This is Gaga's music, why am I asking her to dim down her artistry and create a generic pop record just to be liked by the masses? Why do I need her to get no. 1 on Billboard? Why was I expecting a Sorry 2.0/Tame Impala/Uptownfunk mashup? And when I asked myself that, I re-listened to the song and felt the music. I felt her energy and I respected the work she must have put in to creating this single. It made me realize how much I and other fans just want her to be an artist she will simply never be again. The mindless-dance-pop artist I fell in love with was controlled by others and clearly was trying to find herself as a 20-something year old woman in music. This song represents who she is now and the artist she has become and feels completely happy being. I had a choice to leave the fanbase or stick around and support someone I admire for being 100% with everything she does. She won't ever give us another Fame Monster, she might not ever give us electonic dance again but that's why she's weaning out the fans who can't let go of her past. This is where Gaga will find her true fanbase because if you don't appreciate this song, then you just don't appreciate Gaga and the true artist she's become. I suggest you haters and non-believers do the same or leave the fan base all together. /rant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPS 13 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The future will be coming to gagadaily, when even responses to individual opinion threads will be posted in a new one. OT: when I first heard this thread, the tone of my stomach drop to my stomach in distaste. As the text went on, things seemed to get worse with over-production and once the phrase changed, I cringed so much I almost shut the topic off. It was in this moment that I felt like the little amount of expectations I tried to have were crushed. Really OT: OK. Pê Pê Ésse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swordstalker 1,829 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This is an intelligent dissenting opinion, and that's not sarcasm. I wish other people who didn't like the song thought like you instead of feeling entitled. Anyway, I hope the song grows on you, I know I felt the same way when I first heard it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRedd 3,139 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Great opinion. It's not irrelevant, it's just not needed for a new thread. Especially when there are threads already posted that deal with this type of topic that can be used to express distaste there. It's just very discouraging to continuously see opinion threads that are mostly negative. Great opinion, good mentions, good constructive criticism, bad placing.

TerrenceV2 2,001 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I fee the same way, I knew I was expecting something different, I expected more rock. I like how her voice isn't autotuned, very raw. The key change makes me cringe too. What I did not like and thought that was finally gonna be over in this new record was the overproduction, I swear to God I was so sure these producers wouldn't let a song be overproduced, but I was wrong, there's too much going on with the chorus, but its a good song overall, I feel the verses were very good, wish they were longer. I also dont like how the main song is like 2:10 and then the outro kind of repeats itself until its finished almost like a filler. I can't say I'm happy with it, but I'm still looking forward to the other masterpieces that are going to be on Gaga. I still bought PI and support Gaga 100% just not my cup ☕️ of tea edit: This was like exactly the same feeling I got when I heard M.I.L.F $ Short asf, fast-paced, too much going on, lead single, underwhelming. This was my first and last rant. Ready for what Gaga drops next! playground love - josef salvat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipper 13,100 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Lady gaga offers us variety and progression unlike any other artist. I love her because I feel like I matured with her while her music has been interwoven to my experiences both good and bad. When she releases something, i treat it as something to be respected and enjoyed because it is something SHE made and not because it is something she made to please ME and my expectations. Whether I like it or not doesnt matter because I know I will support her in whatever direction she veers her music into. Glad you saw beyond the perfect illusion. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
