I've seen so many people trash talk "Dope" and praise "I Wanna Be With U" :neyde:

IMO "Dope" Is better as "IWBWU" Was a demo :sharon:

REALITY

Both are amazing songs. I love Dope, but just to play devil's advocate, I believe the two main reasons why people don't like Dope is because A) Her vocals sound "weird" and B) the message behind IWBWY is more universal.

Some people think that her vocals sound forced in Dope, and what I mean is that they think she's putting on some sort of accent. I can sort of see that, but at the same time, I think it provides a lot of character.

IWBWY does have a more universal and relatable message, but if I recall, Gaga said that Dope can really be about anything: drugs, losing someone, etc. etc. It's sort of like Million Reasons in the sense that she wrote it about a specific thing/event, but it's a message that can be applied to a lot of different stuff.

For me both songs are beautiful, but Dope does fit the album better sonically, imo :staymad:

Ew, David!

(Some of) her fans didn't like the vocal style she used for "Dope". Which is also the same reason why some fans also didn't like "Til' it Happens to You". Even though that vocal style could be heard in "Bad Romance", "Dance in the Dark", and "I Want Your Love", ironically two of the songs that I mentioned are fan favorites. 

Edit: I forgot to add "Applause"

i ADORE the single cover but the song never really did anything for me :shrug: 

i feel like it sort of sticks out among the aggressive electro bops, i've spent so much time bopping and then it suddenly switches to piano notes

Dope is amazing. I love it. I live for the live performances...

I can understand why people don’t really enjoy it though...but to prefer I Wanna Be With U? :awkney: The lyrics are so basic and cringe. At least Dope, while the vocal style may not be appealing to some, is a beautifully written song.

I feel like I kind of hear that vocal style on Applause too? I dont mind her voice like that on any songs except for TIHTY for some reason.
