Naor Daniel 937 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4867504,00.html spoiler: Israelis only want HITS and if it's not hits it's probably bad. Good luck reading this. Translated by me Spoiler Joanne, the latest of Lady Gaga, has no single hit. It's not nice to admit, but the person who proclaimed she went through a journey of self finding is back pale and not focused. She can, the Fame Monster, to rest after years of success - but only if she promises to return to who she was. In the end of 2009, a little more than 7 years, Lady Gaga performed for the first time in Israel. It was part of a music festival, not even her own show. It was small, quite intimate (few thousands) and mainly short. Gaga before "Bad Romance" and before her show in Yarkon Park (2014) which was in front of dozens of thousands of screaming fans, performed for just one hour. Seven years after this performance and eight after her debut album, she's already releasing her fifth album. Presumably what was going through her head when she created "Joanne" - short intimate album (39mins). But in such an album, it's hard to create what we were used to hear and love from Lady Gaga. "I wanted to surprise my fans and the result is an album which is an emotional self-finding journey of myself", she said in an interview to "Billboard". Indeed, there is a surprise - but it's not essentially nice. Most songs in "Joanne", 11 in numbers, can be what's called "fillers" - medicore songs in her previous albums. A few are highlighted above others and can be successful hits that will chart worldwide. So it was, by the way, with the first single that was supposed to be the most highlighted and kicking of all, "Perfect Illusion", that didn't bring any good news - and so thought the fans. The song reached #15 on Billboard and #12 on the British one, double digit numbers that Gaga didn't know before. It's hard to find here, as I said, even one pop song that will do to the world what every huge hit of Gaga did before. It won't be delusional to say that she knows this well, and the proof is the low-budget video of "Perfect Illusion", where Kevin Parker from Tame Impala is present. Even "Hey Girl", the song which features Florence Welch from Florence And The Machine ain't saving the situation. Even top producer Mark Ronson, the executive producer of the entire album, didn't raise it much higher. Two ballads are actually quite good and are worth mentioning: "Million Reasons" that again sounds like a good B-side but not more, and "Angel Down", the signature of this album that can make fans breath again, because it's the only song that reminds us that she is a talented and successful artist. The journey itself is legitimate, and in her pace there's no doubt what's happened here, is that the first lady (sorry, Madonna) of pop went through the second album crisis - in her fifth. The developing pace of Lady Gaga in the last eight years didn't allow her to have a crisis or time for resting, so it's natural for such album to come. On the other hand, we can't just accept this, from someone who defined herself as the "fame monster" of our days and showed us her monstrous talent in the last seasons of "American Horror Story". The superstar that dominates the pop industry and bigger than all of Katy Perry, maybe was supposed to provide an album that is easier to digest, or at least understand that such album needs "Born This Way", or "Alejandro", some "Edge of Glory" or "Bad Romance". And we got none from "Joanne". Sadly. But it's quite obvious that it is a terminal crisis, and the monster will be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your posts consists of slamming the album and you've just joined 1 hour ago. I thought when "fans" hate their favs work they leave the fanbase not join a fan forum, a true reversed warholian experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not G.U.Y was number one on MTV and the biggest English radio-station for weeks. Do What U Want was successful and Applause was still playing in parties 1-2 years later.

We all just have to come to terms with the fact that Gaga didn't put out a good album. WTF. She made a great album. It's not pop, it's not the old Gaga you wanted but it's not bad. So do you think Cheek to Cheek isn't a good album just because you don't like jazz? All those reviews talking bout the old Gaga are bullshit. We have to analyze Joanne without thinking about what Gaga was 5 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
