it's not because he gave it a bad review. he actually IS a hater.

He called ARTPOP a FLOP in his Joanne review. lol 

This. People think we're pressed or something, but no, that person really is a disgusting journalist. This is not the first time. And he's misogynistic af.

if you say that telephone has no  meaning then you don't know a **** about lady gaga's writing lol 

i said it might be true ... and i just don´t believe the metaphor she uses with this song just not or find it a little bit stupid ....i love lady gaga but i personally don´t  like that song that much sorry not sorry ...it´s not a bad song but it´s not a great song either   but if you think it´s one of her best lyrics and  has a deep meaning to you than i am completly fine by that ( iam just mad that that was her second single and not speechless or dancing in the dark or even teeth but i also loved swine and everyone seemed to hate it her so maybe my taste is just **** :D)

He's trying way too hard to sound smart. Ignore him.

He's not a journalist, he's just a whiny b itch with a dictionary.

He's always a bitter old asshole.

Why are you even quoting me?

Shitty journalism. If he's THAT pressed against Gaga, I assume he must have a bug up his you-know-what about something.

[zakariah 11,718]

This reviewer shits on Gaga every chance he gets, so his reviews are invalid to me. 

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

I mean a lot of this is pretty accurate.

I feel like he made some valid points, but it definitely sounded waaayy too bitter. I don't understand why they sent him, out of all the journalists the NYT has, to review her show when he doesn't like her at all lol.

But why they reviewed this show so quickly? I was waiting for NYC shows. 

That explains it. Just another hater basically

[JaneTheC 3,726]

I kinda agree with him

[Ziggy 11,640]

Idk I don't really see where he was insulting her more or less seeing that she has a ton of potential and that the parts where she embraces that potential are the best bits of the show. Let's be honest here, who enjoys watching Gaga nail choreography on tour? Not me. I love when the moves are sloppy but there's something real and authentic about the movements (Telephone's MTB performances come to mind for me)--she's LIVING the songs there. To me, what I think he's saying is that watching her get lost in the music like this is so much more rewarding then watching her with a million dancers behind her trying to perform in lockstep when it's obvious she's always itching to improvise moves and just jam out feeling whether that's to her pop hits or her ballads. Like he said, she's "a conduit for profound feeling" and that to me is the most interesting thing to watch from her.

 

Granted, I have not seen the show yet, and as a review he probably could have actually talked about things related to the performance and not her as an artist (i.e. we still barely have an idea of what the show is like from this review). Still, I think some of his points are spot on and this was much better than his borderline personally offensive review of Joanne.

I really don't think this is a bad review, he pointed out all of her strong points and praised her talent multiple times. He just happens to think her talent shines with simple vocal performances. Not everyone is a stan who immediately loves everything.

It's a valid professional opinion.
