Slayer 9,227 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 There are many things wrong with The Queen and I shall list them: - The first three notes in the The Queen choruses are exactly the same as the first three notes in TEOG choruses, which means I get reminded of a far superior song every time I listen to The Queen. - The whole sentiment of the song, "being a queen for her fans", is up her own ass. And Gaga knew that it made her sound like a douchebag by the time the Born This Way Ball came around, which is why she only ever performed it once or twice. - "Qu-qu-qu-qu-eee-ee-eeeen-eeen, qu-qu-queeen, qu-qu-queen, qu-qu-quee-ee-eeeen." I assume she was still snorting coke at this point in her career... - The song sounds like two different f*cking songs smushed together. The segue between the 'two songs' is also one of the worst I've ever heard. Slowing the beat down sounds atrocious. - Everybody raves about the 'second part' of The Queen, but it's literally just a couple of (admittedly great) lyrics followed by "whooa-ooh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh". Just more lazy song-writing, followed by guitar riffs that drag it unnecessarily beyond 5 minutes. It's like she's trying to hit the 5-minute mark to create this 'epic for the ages', but it fails massively because it's just a BAD SONG. As for all the other songs in the OP, I like them, so. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Diamond Heart / Joanne / John Wayne / Perfect Illusion / Angel Down who are ruined because of her zombie voice. Only Million Reasons is OK with this voice, but it still could have been better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Million Reasons is OK with this voice, but it still could have been better Interesting to hear such a different point of view! I think she sounds like an angel on the title track Joanne, which makes it work so well for me, combined with it's lyrics (it's my favorite song...period)! In contrast, I think she sounds like she's spun out and is at rock-bottom on Dope, which, again, is what makes the song work so well with it's lyrics, in my opinion! As far as the songs mentioned in the OP, I think most of them do get their fair share of love around here (although they get their share of criticism as well). Fashion of his Love is the only the one that never seems to get much love at all. I think the main reasons would be that BTW is an album full of anthems, and this song is pretty far from that. It just sounds like an 80's dance-pop song (I agree with the comparisons to Whitney's song, at least sonically. Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo is the ultimate IWDWS wannabe though). I think FOHL is a great song though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point! Not only is this song two tracks before the superior TEOG, but Hair also has a similar vibe in my opinion. With all three of these on one album, The Queen was bound to stand out as the least good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all so good, but they seem to be the most commonly disliked songs. Maybe I just have the unpopular opinion. Fashion of His Love and Come To Mama are two of my favourite Gaga songs . The Queen is amazing also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
