Should Hair Have Been a Piano Ballad?

I don't hate the studio version but I think it would have sounded better if Gaga's vocals were louder because the instrumental is REALLY loud.

Hm.

No. It can be performed both ways, and its a bop as a pop-rock power ballad :emma: The ad-libs in the final chorus are part of one of the best moments on BTW and that wouldn't have been as effective as a piano ballad.

It is a bit heavy/loud in general, but it was handled imo way better than Gypsy.

I agree. I prefer it as a piano ballad, just like Gypsy. They're both too loud in their studio versions, but they sound flawless when performed live on piano (on Stern radio show).

no it's perfect the way it because we can have both (in fact she sang it acustic with just the piano most of the time)

It would've been great if she recorded it like she played it at iHeart. Start off as a piano ballad, and then build up and climax into a synthrock finale :giveup:

I will forever think she should release an acoustic album with all her hits or an unplugged version of all her hits. It would be AMAZING. 

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

I like the studio version but it's overproduced. With less effects it would have been really great ! The chorus is not really enjoyable while it's so beautiful in acoustic version...

I love the acoustic piano ballad performances of Hair best.

Not entirely acoustic but yes a bit less production. It's probably the only song on BTW that actually is overproduced.

Do you hear that? It's poison.

How about Gaga performing songs entirely a cappella?  After all, she has a great voice and does not need autotune.  Long ago in college I saw a concert by Judy Collins and a concert by Joan Baez.  In both concerts, the performer put her guitar down and sang a song totally unaccompanied.  It was so moving, actually breathtaking, the highlight of the show.  I love Gaga's piano ballads, but would love to hear her sing without the piano on occasion.  Here is an example of Joan Baez:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G9ZdNTBpLY
