The music in these shorts — noisy, off-kilter, with hints of industrial and trap-EDM — was perhaps the most interesting of the night. Imagine if Gaga made songs out of that instead of her parents’ record

so... basically ARTPOP and BTW?

critics are laughable.

Her parents‘ record collection

Someone's not a fan...

There's nothing new here. If anything, he's consistent.

Chris Kelly, Jon Caramanica and Michael Wood are notorious Gaga's haters. Whenever the pendulum swings up, they swing down. It's not the publications, it's these old entrenched men that can't get over an idea that there's actually someone out there young and successful, and who just refuses to disappear into the night no matter how big the effort they put into it.

They're aging along with their idol from the years gone by, the current success just isn't happening, only the memories left, and they just can't take it. 

As the time passes by, there will be fewer and fewer of there dinosaurs left. And good riddance to them.

At several times during the night, Gaga herself was lost — or at least off the stage — as she changed costumes. These interminable interludes featured unnecessary jam sessions but also teased the transgressive Gaga of old, in the form of experimental video interludes somewhere between Beyoncé’s video albums, David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” and Gaga’s “American Horror Story” gig. The music in these shorts — noisy, off-kilter, with hints of industrial and trap-EDM — was perhaps the most interesting of the night. Imagine if Gaga made songs out of that instead of her parents’ record collection.

But no matter: The fandom that comes with Gaga’s level of pop stardom works as a cloak of invincibility. In the eyes of the sold-out crowd, Gaga could do no wrong. The same can be said for the fans that vote for the vox populi AMAs. Toward the end of the concert, the video screens were tuned to the broadcast to show the winner of favorite pop/rock female artist . . . Lady Gaga.

But it's kinda weird to me. All the big, reputable news gave her either mixed or negative review. What's going on? 

Not necessarily. NY Times, LA Times, and this one yes, but everything else has been good (Billboard, Chicago, Boston, SF, Toronto - those are also big reputable news)

 

One thing I see a lot of is critics mentioning something like "another costume/hat/identity/etc". It's kind of true, unlike someone like Adele, Pink, and Beyonce who have found their niche and stayed the same way more or less. However, Madonna was the same way and I bet NONE of these critics said the same about her.

Imagine having that kind of a negative view of pure talent performing before you? Thankfully I can’t relate...

This review seems a bit harsh.

Literally unsubscribing.

Madonna stans

*pretends to be shocked*

The way the first paragraph is worded I imagined Gaga litterally wandering around lost backstage as the band just plays random notes

Where is the 'Excuse me no' when I need it

Let's be honest about artistry here. I adore Gaga and think her talent is extraordinary, but the Cure is literally one of the most boring AND basic songs she's ever recorded. Joanne had positive moments, mostly though through personal connection to subject material. I'm gonna get downvoted and shaded but **** it yall are so not objective just because its gags.
