Joanne.. CountryGa....

Lets get this straight. JOANNE IS NOT A COUNTRY ALBUM!!!

Joanne has lots of different genres that make up the album. Just because she played in the capital of country music DOES NOT mean that the whole album is country. Yes, the tracks last night did sound a little country. But come on, Nashville is all country music land. I think she was pleasing the crowd, or picked the most country sounding tracks to play. A-YO I think would be a smash of a bop as a studio version, but we need to wait and see. I think we need to hear the full album before we can talk about it. Oct 21st

I don't understand why some people make it a huge deal, because, yeah, the album's not country. She's said before, and has repeated, that the album is pop with influences of country, soul, rock, folk, electronic, dance, etc. etc. 

And really, I honestly don't really hear a country vibe from any of the songs that she's played so far—maybe Million Reasons, but even then, I don't hear country.

if it looks like a duck and swims like a duck, is it not a duck? You guys can deny that the songs are country all you want. They are country songs.

What exactly makes it country? A-Yo, Sinner's Prayer, and Million Reasons are not country songs. Yes, they have country influences, but I don't see how they're straight up country.

I'll take Gaga's word over whether or not her own album is a pop record.

Hopefully they were just country versions of not so country studio versions!

We have to wait and see before we can judge

Let's be honest, that performance sucked. I don't want to be mean but it is what it is and no one feels more sorry than I do. Gaga is not unique anymore and her beautiful talent is dying.

I've warmed to the tracks now but I'm dying for more production on future tracks / studio versions. I didn't wait 3 years for an acoustic Dolly Parton LP

There's an undeniable country influence on the songs she performed last night; it's country-pop.

It sounds unbearably country because of that ridiculous southern twang Gaga sings in and fails so spectacularly at.

I suppose you took her word when she said Million Reasons has hip-hop and rock influences too?

You have a point about Nashville.. I'm wondering if she played those tracks in a completely different style to what they were studio..!?

When did she say that?

EDIT - 

In an interview with Yahoo!, Gaga described “Million Reasons” as “a country song mixed with funk and rock ‘n’ roll.” She continued: “You would never imagine it would sound that way… the feeling underneath the record is it’s almost got like a little bit of a hip-hop feeling. But at the same time, it’s not a hip-hop song. It’s kind of like I just had no boundaries making music — and neither do any of the other people we were working with. It was kind of like what feels right, what hits the best, what’s going to get everybody in their stomach and their heart.”

"Sinner's Prayer" is definitely a Country song, if not the most Country song on the album, it is thus far. And what a better place to debut a song that is straight Johnny Cash, than in Music City!

MR sounded the same, but then again, she collaborated with Hillary Lindsey (a country singer) on that track. We just have to wait and see before we can judge anything
