While you're here, you could praise the good sis "Perfect Illusion." :crossed: 

You know what, you're right. 

Now that I've heard the album, I see why PI was chosen as the lead. Bombastic and bold.

To be honest it sounds great in the context of this album but definitely not as a LEAD single. It's not a good representative, is underdeveloped and pales in comparison to other more solid tracks

I know lots of people hate it, but it's my favorite off the album and one of my fave gaga songs ever.

Thank you.

The album is fantastic but "Perfect Illusion" is still the best.

I love PI and it and applause are my favorite gaga songs. So everybody is different. I guess I just sift through the posts until I see a post I agree with, and I like it. And I communicate with that person. Anybody that says they don't like it or make topics that imply PI is inherently bad... Idk, I don't really care lol. I fcking love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this song a lot. I think it's going to have an unfair reputation over the complicated feeling this fan base has over it being the lead single. If we step back from that and just appreciate the song for what it is I think it's easier to enjoy.

Already the most underrated song on Joanne when it's actually one of the best, amazing track, if it wouldn't have been the lead you'll be all "omg that song is amazing I'm slayed" :nails:

I mean these "IT WASN'T LAAAAAAAAAAAHVE" "IT WAS A PERFECT ILLUSION, SOMEWHERE IN... ALL THE CONFUSIOOON" are the strongest lines in the album, so powerful and ragey :firega:

It has its place, and works very well with the other tracks, and I like the place in the tracklist just in the middle !

I just love the opening guitars here. Overall, this song is like my second Judas. Dunno if a choreo fits this song but if there is, then parfect.

 

I love how every song from the album has it's own thread now but it also means the site has acknowledged the leak :giveup: But ofc I understand it from their perspective too since it is so that the forums will be more organized.:giveup:

Yasss Gaga. This song slays me, only took me 5 listens and the music video to get there. You really have to have an ear for what the track is going for and i think that it takes a few listens to catch on to the lyrics and the key changes. At first I couldn't understand what the eff she was saying. 

I honestly hated this song at first and completely understand why people aren't vibing on it.

Having now listened to it in context of the whole album, I'm a much bigger fan of this song.

That being said, I still am not thrilled with it as a lead single only because I feel like there are much stronger songs. (coughcoughdiamondheartcoughcough) I guess I understand why they chose it though as an introduction to the Joanne era and sound, as it's maybe not as challenging to the GP audience as some of the stronger tracks would no doubt have been.

I'M SHOOK at HOW GOOD THIS SONG IS. IT SOUNDS FRESH! IT SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING THAT'S ON THE RADIO NOWADAYS EVEN THO IT DESERVES TO BE PLAYED MORE THAN WHAT IT'S PLAYED NOWADAYS
