Why Perfect Illusion?

Hallelujah, I'm only halfway through Joanne yet since I had to go to work exactly when it leaked.

And wtf why did Interscope choose Perfect Illusion, really.
It is a complete mess melodically and lyrically, like the verses are only 1 note for each line etc.

John Wayne, Joanne, Million Reasons, A-Yo and Diamond Heart are like ten times better than PI.

It's Born This Way all over again, lead single sucks harder than me every friday night

But oh my God the rest is so f*cking good :giveup: Faith restored tbh

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride

Did you just shade Born This Way (Single)? That was a great lead single imo. 

It's her worst lead single imo. I was so underwhelmed back then, it's just nothing special in terms of melody.

I've listened to the album and I gotta say, Perfect Illusion is the most radio-ready song on the album. Sorry for Dancing In Circles fans but they over-hyped that song that I expected more from it.

I honestly don't know what to think right now. If it were up to me, no other song would've been picked as the lead single, maybe A-Yo. I'll give the album another listen when I get home at night.

The message was way more important than the melody, and it's better than PI and JD.

Gaga said her and the label compromised and settled on Perfect Illusion. Didn't sound like either of them wanted Perfect Illusion to be the first single but it was the one they could agree on just about. I imagine Gaga wanted Million Reasons or Joanne and they wanted A-YO or John Wayne.

C'mon now....

Perfect Illusion is the most single worthy song on the album. And MR is the only other one.

great another "I hate PI" topic

Well it's reasonable

Look at how it performed on the charts....there is NO way Dancing in Circles or John Wayne wouldn't have done better

I agree it's one of the worst songs on the album, and idk why they'd pick it.... it's her worst performing lead singles by FAR

idk, A-Yo or a proper radio edit for John Wayne would've performed better i think :duck:

So gaga and interscope chose a bunch of great single choices, and they compromised on the second worst song on the album... :toofunny:

I love "Perfect Illusion" but I'm still wondering why they chose it as the lead. Had it not been released as the lead, we would've been blown out of our minds with the leak today
