and a moment for silence for us who waited 3 yrs for... PI.

yes, a shame you got a good song as a lead single  

now you can stop the PI hate cus the majority aren't liking the xtina lead, the habit of bashing gaga to go against the grain is old and tired

....gays having no taste as usual, the X-Tina song is actually good. Never actually heard a pop song like that, reminds me a lot of the work FKA Twigs has done. It's super experimental in structure being VERY upbeat, yet having almost no percussion except snaps, claps and snares (sans the rap verses). And the rap verses are good too and add something to the song. It's a very bold and risky choice for a lead single but tbh... X-Tina never played it safe in her music sans Lotus and her debut album which she had no creative control over.

Stripped is a GP pandering, non experimental, very safe album. If this is Christina trying new stuff then, well let's say this, she's not very creative when it comes to new stuff.

According to MEDIATRAFFIC this week:

Soundtrack - The Greatest Showman
Atlantic - 122.000 / 2.737.000

This is insane.... I want that numbers for ASIB.

I actually felt the same way, with the exception that i loved PI at the beginning and it rapidly shrunk on me.

.....lol what. Stripped is probably the album in which Christina pandered the least to anybody. This makes no sense.

I like Stripped, just wait for the results of the Megarate, but this album is not experimental, Joanne was a bigger risk than Stripped and Joanne was not a risky record either. Stripped is good pop music but certainly no Born This Way, Born This Way is by far Gaga's most exeprimental album and it payed of big time. Stripped on the other hand is an above average pop album.

Celine's song is gorgeous

Stripped was A risk for Xtina, because she was leaving the teen pop persona that everyone in that time had. (Britney, Jessica...) With Dirrty she changed completely from pop to hip hop/r&b. Everyone was calling her a sl*t and a bad role model. The video, the clothes, the hair, the attitude.... I'm not saying that Joanne wasn't a risk for Gaga, but Stripped was a way bigger risk than Joanne.

Christina’s song sounds like someone being brutally murdered with a shovel. Nope.

First of all, why should I care what a megarate has to say LMFAO

Second of all, Christina was  singing about sexual freedom, feminism & domestic abuse with 700 face piercings in assless chaps, shuffling through Latin pop (Infatuation), Gospel (Soar), Hip-Hop (Dirrty, Can't Hold Us Down), Hard Rock (Fighter) and power ballads (Beautiful & The Voice Within) while she was known as a cute bubblegum pop girlie just 2 years prior to that. The album musically "might" seem safe in hindsight, but it definitely wasn't, if you put it into historical context and what prefaced the album. And that's what really matters.

Y'all would be out here RIOTING if somebody said "omg Bad Romance sounds so generic, it totally gets lost in the other electronic music from that time" because it would wrongfully omit that Bad Romance was the one who swapped the tide and caused the cultural paradigm to shift.

I'm talking about the album in general. Stripped as a whole piece was not a risk and she's even singing mostly about the same stuff when she was still with Disney. The only notable difference is that the music isn't bubblegum pop anymore.  Also Dirrty was a pretty big hit outside of the US.

So, Gaga and Bloodpop May 11th? @ViviLittleM

Same stuff? She opened up about her childhood in songs like I'm OK and Fighter, self acceptance/empowerment songs - The Voice Within, Beautiful, Can't Hold Us Down. She didn't even touch these topics on her debut album.

I SAID NO - LADY GAGA - MAY 11TH
