My Mom's reaction to hearing MR (on the radio)

I was in the car with my mom the other day and MR came on.

This is the **** that went down after about half the song played:

Mom: Its like anyone can get their songs played on the radio now a days. (in a negative tone)

Me: This is a good song

Mom: It is? There are so many bad and untrained singers on the radio.

Me: Lady Gaga doesn't have a bad voice

Mom: This isn't Lady Gaga.

Me: Yes it is. She went country :rockstar:

Mom: Well she sounds terrible, she should go back to the city. This doesn't work for her. 

:toofunny: What kind go poor taste does my mom have? Honestly though, I can understand why people don't like Gaga's voice in MR. Her voice doesn't sound pure and perfectly in tune. Its almost grating in some parts, like the chorus (I don't really know how to explain it but Im sure you know what I'm talking about). I love the song and I think the unpolished vocals express Gaga's pain and gnawing desperation, almost like a cry for help. But people like my mom love perfect, clean sounding vocals so she probably could never appreciate any songs on Joanne. I think thats quite sad and I wish she would be more open minded when it comes to vocals.

I should have played her the version at the royal variety. Gaga's voice sounds so pure and she shifts beautifully between light and delicate and strong and operatic.

Don't be mad at her. Educate her. Play her the AMAs rendition. Play her the Royal Variety rendition. Trick her into listening to the mic feed on SNL. It's all worthy because it's one hell of a ballad and different in the best way possible. 

i think u freaky but you don't have a hit

I will say, I actually prefer Gaga's live versions of MR. It took me a while to warm up to the studio version. I'm not really sure why, I just think it sounds better when it's less polished - it sounds more soulful live and I'm not sure I like the way the guitar sounds in the studio version.

I strategically played it with her in the room 2 years ago. She said she has a good voice but isn't as good as Barbra Streisand. Then she proceeded to insult gaga for taking away the spotlight from Julie Andrews. She was like, " this is a tribute for the sound of music and lady gaga is trying to one up Julie Andrews" or some bs like that.
