New York Times 'Joanne' Review

In short, they ended it with: 

'Even when Lady Gaga was at her pop peak, she wasn’t quite at its center — she was a loud outsider summiting pop music by force of will and shock of glam. As a result, her music can seem like an old memory, not a recent one. And pop moves quickly: Note her recent tiff with the club-pop dopes in the Chainsmokers, who said in an interview that they didn’t enjoy “Perfect Illusion.” She responded, coolly, on Twitter, in what felt like a mother dismissing an impudent child.

Which is fair: The Chainsmokers don’t see dance music as avant-garde theater or sociopolitical provocation. They see it as quick-stepping pop, which, though it’s fuzzy in the rearview, is also part of Lady Gaga’s legacy. That they were allergic to “Perfect Illusion” makes sense. But instead of taking offense and tossing off a tweet, she should maybe give them a call.'

They dragged HA through the pits of hell, I didn't read one positive thing in this article. I don't think they count for metacritic though lol

Clinton couldn't get her connections at the NYT to get Joanne a good review?

Welp, looks like it's not going to be too pretty based on these initial reviews of our sweet Joanne.

Why do people feel the need to review Gaga as a person instead of reviewing her work? I swear, every review is like that, it's annoying. Do your job, you are not a life advisor, you are a music critic. 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

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.

Because people do what's popular instead of doing what's right. People like to hear that Gaga flops.
