Spyro 8,438 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I love this era. I'm loving this era more than ARTPOP in regards to visuals & music. BUT, the only thing that turns me off so much and is really cringe-worthy is when Gaga says "Call me Joanne" or worst... when her fans start calling her Joanne. I'm like.. why is this a thing? Why are we calling you by your dead relative? Idgaf if it has some artistic meaning, some symbolism behind it I JUST WANT IT TO STOP. I want to call you GAGA not your aunt who's been dead since before you were born. I'm sorry if I sound mean or harsh, but I really want this "Call me Joanne" crap to stop. I'm ok with making an album called after her and making music after her, but making a persona after her is kinda crossing the line. And yes, I know her middle name is "Joanne" but it's only a part of her middle-name, and does anyone ever call them by their middle-name? Anyway, I got a lot off my chest. What are your thoughts?

hausoffame 388 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It doesn't bother me at all. Lots of artists have alter egos. The music is what really matters to me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini 53 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Its odd, because Joanne might be some sort of Jo Calderone sort of thing she's going for... But she's not necessarily dressed up for it soooo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan Heart 7,382 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 it doesn't really bother me They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALITY 76,234 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think it's fine. Though, I do think that we shouldn't judge her or anything for it. None of us are a part of Gaga's family, nor are we Gaga, so we shouldn't judge her because we don't know what it was like to lose Joanne. It's undeniable that Joanne had a huge impact on the family, and it must have been impactful for Gaga to not only write a song about her, but dedicate an era to her. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impostor 4,114 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 But every era she has names. Candy Warhol, Mother Monster, Jo Calderone, Goddess of Love etc Why is it wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryhanna 3,507 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I haven't really been paying attention to Gaga as an artist/person (interviews and stuff), mainly just the music, which I love. So I don't really know how this started or whatever. It's a bit... creepy, but at the same time it's also literally part of her own name. I know of a few people who prefer to go by their middle names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 97,978 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 At first I thought so but then I remembered her (second) name is Joanne and I got over it If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candy Warhol is based on a real person I think Joanne is the name she uses to find strength, that's why she says the name after prayers. Maybe it's not really based on her aunt but more as a way to express a new side of hers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 116,175 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I find it weird.. she needs to understand that this kind of stuff causing to people to stay away from her or not to take her seriously.. this and all the "I (action) (music genre or a performance place) since the age of (age) or the I felt connected to my aunt while working on this album.. come on.. you don't even knows how her voice sounds like.. I respect that she wants to discover her aunt and it's really sweet and lovely, but there is a way to make people go through this journey with her and this is NOT the way. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
