ReidOne 12,427 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I just realized something earlier this week... "Million Reasons" is Gaga's first single that is truly a ballad. The only other singles that come close to being "ballads" are not really ballads at all... The Fame - Paparazzi is a mid-tempo, but not a ballad.The Fame Monster - no ballad singlesBorn This Way - The Edge of Glory and You & I... not dance songs, but not balladsARTPOP - no ballad singlesCheek to Cheek - no real singlesJoanne - Million Reasons... an undeniable BALLAD I'm shook and nervous all at the same time! I really think if they promote it correctly, she can smoke them all with this single. EDIT: @GagaXCupcakke just reminded me about TIHTY... thank you, sis!

I disagree... Yes, the song itself is structured like a ballad, but the recording (and thus, the "single") is not at all a ballad. It's got: - the same beat as Queen's "We Will Rock You" - screaming electric guitars - weave-twirling, head-banging choreography in the video I agree, it straddles the line, but it's not a "ballad" in the true sense of the word, the way that Million Reasons is.

Harry 26,836 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Depends on your definition I suppose, but I would agree. I'd say it's her first pure ballad single. You and I leans more towards country-tinged rock for me, and TEOG is too uptempo. More like a power ballad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeyerJ 2,170 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I can't get over you saying The Edge of Glory isn't a dance song. If it's not I've been doing something wrong... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
