I love MR more but when PI comes on I forget about MR even for just a bit :music:

I've seen people say that PI is the worst song on Joanne and quite frankly, I can't believe it. It's a great song in my opinion, and a perfect lead single. Just because it's not performing well doesn't mean it's bad. I mean, the iconic key change, the amazing vocals... what's not to love? PI is getting too much hate because of its underperformance, but that was to be expected, when ARTPOP came out everyone loved it until the first week sales were released :diane:

Love this thread!

PI is amazing and is sitting high in my top 5 Gaga songs (After TEOG and Yoü and I for me). I simply love it. It comes on and my blood just starts pumpin and I just rage singalong and dance to it. I NEED to karaoke this song.

The background synths, especially towards the end, are so Eurythmics and just the whole song has this great Pat Benatar/Heart/Joan Jett vibe to it...really an awesome modern conglomeration of some 80s sound...I love how LA Times described it as "stomping disco-rock jam with a killer robot-Motown groove, buckets of scuzz-punk guitar fuzz and a key change designed to trigger Pavlovian fist-pumps." And then Rolling Stones describing it after the video "some Eighties guitar cheese, a Godzilla beat and a little Pat Benatar vocal fire to remind us she's the demon queen of trash-disco thunder."

Its so crazy how people twist the narrative. 90+% of all major music critics gave it glowing and positive reviews and yet you'll see people say "mixed reviews" and this and that. People listen to a new song and snippets, all of which I love and think are GREAT and maybe some I'll enjoy more (that's hard to judge based on LQ snippets), and suddenly they can't enjoy PI. You can enjoy all the songs guys haha enjoyment of them isn't dependent on the other

I still maintain that PI is one of the weakest songs on Joanne. When it came out I knew she was capable of more so I didn't blindly stan for it, and I was right :madge: 

Edit: whoops this is supposed to be an appreciation thread :rip: apologies for the negativity :madge:

Now I understand why PI was the lead.. 

Nothing else except diamond heart would have even made a ripple. 

I am salty af right now. 

PI is a great song I think, and DH sounds like it will be also, but the rest... :madge:

Did you hear Dancin' in Circles

It's the only song on the album that has a chance of slaying the radio

You think? 

I thought they would bomb harder than PI. And they will. 

DH is the only one that stands a chance, the rest... God I just hope they grow on me

Dancing in Circles has the dancehall vibe going for it. It'll be right at home between "Cold Water" and "One Dance" imo :poot:

Tbh Diamond Heart sounds great but a bit...outdated? Idk. Like you can add some more EDM to it and it would do well on ARTPOP :madge:

Perfect Illusion is awsome on every level. 

It's a total banging head bop .

It's a perfect lead single, maybe her best one .

It has a simple yet beautiful video .

The instrument is a masterpiece, and the vocals are on fire.

The meaning and lyrics are simple but smart and relatables.

 

And I just can't at people saying MR would be a better lead :excuseu:. If it was, you would have wanted P.I to be the lead latter instead. MR is awsome but it's totally not lead single material geez.

The perfect Illusion bashing here make me sick and is almost even worst than ARTPOP bashing (which was also tragic).

Personally, they all sound dated, or out of place. 

I relistened to DIC and yea I can see where it could be big. 

DH is My only saving grace for this album...
