shane_c 480 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 AYO should have had Hillary Lindsey singing backup like she does on Million Reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIVA 666 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I do wish she had released a more surprising sound for her lead single from Joanne, just to surprise everyone when it came out. Almost any other song besides PI would accomplish that. A-YO would have been a good choice. All of my friends that aren't huge Gaga fans seem to love it most off the album. That and John Wayne. I kinda wish Million Reasons had been the lead though.  We're all Stronger Together! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope whoever chose Perfect Illusion at Intercope is fired now cause Gaga sure as hell didn't She actually hated the song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Heart and maybe Angel Down also could have been good singles. Perfect Illusion and Million Discounts were two of the biggest mistakes as singles. Million Reasons is the song which connected the most with the GP and it would have been the same even if A-YO was the lead, people really need to stop discrediting MR and the potential it had But I agree with the rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't even "chosen" to be the lead single. It was specifically written to be the lead because the label didn't see any first single material on the album. The only thing I agree with is this: 9 hours ago, Radio Pop said: PI is amazing but set false expectations for the album as a whole. I love Joanne but nothing on it is as good as "Perfect Illusion".

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Meh, I still think Million Reasons should have been the lead single. In fact, should have been the only single for the whole era. It's infuriating how Lady Gaga, the so-called "great vocalist who slays only with her pipes and a piano" and tries so hard to show it still insists on keeping her piano ballads aside the charts. I understood it back when she defended electronic music as real music, but that is long gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that if PI wasn't released as the lead single and later heard when the album was released, everyone would've said "PI could've been the lead" Im Harol don't tell anyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only song on Joanne that has the similar synthy sound is Hey Girl, another favorite of mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this should have been a US only single. It's downright country and that genre is so niche...it only hit #4 because of the SuperBowl and it only stayed in the top regions for a week. That song was simply not single material, period. The receipts are there right before your very eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
