So Jo sat and had a convo with Stef about how his dead sis used to finger herself?

 

 

 

....seems plausible :icega:

omg :saladga: that's not what i said at all but you're choosing to take it that way

all teenagers experience sexuality and get curious, gaga doesn't need to be sat down by her family to know women like to have alone time

i mean, you're missing the point on purpose :laughga: 

Joanne had a sexuality so she probably did that, she probably could have had crushes on bad boys, she probably made mistakes but is a good person, she may have experienced a "perfect illusion"

it doesn't have to be 100% true to the bone, it's a concept and i said theorising, meaning it's a possibility gaga wrote the album in that way as well as others

plus gaga has said SO many times she feels she is Joanne/feels Joanne inside her

reach reach reach reach reach reach reach

 

And thats even speculatory reach because Gaga never said that about any of the records. She said  feel this way about the internet and social media relating to PI. 

How the **** would Joanne know about that? She was dead before the internet even existed...

How does she know she feels Joanne? Even her grandmother thinks it's weird.

idk, i'm not gaga but she said what she said :triggered:

Joanne has been there since the beginning of her career, just watch TMB dvd

and her grandmother doesn't think it's weird, she was just worried gaga would fall too deep into the subject

your OP literally says "fake love"

you don't need the internet to experience fake love :laughga: i never said that was a definite concept, just a theory and it doesn't just apply to PI

Did her poor Aunt come from the South or wore a pink hat in a photo? Ive always wanted to know but to scarred to ask. I tried to see if a pic came up in the doc to have an 'ah ha' moment. I bet youve all seen it and im late but thats something thats always on my mind. Maybe she loved country music, if she did it would make more sense and be more emotional. :( If she didn't then yes the whole concept was stupid there must be links that we dont know, shes a bright young lady. Other sites and news agencies already thought she was crazy or using her dead aunts name for a bonkers theme. It would've been nice for it to be explained in the booklet with photos. some of us would've been in tears and it would've shut the others up.

but I don't think you are understanding how ridiculous that sounds. This is your dead aunt you never met and you are gonna write a record about how its meaningful to you...and of the 15 concepts you can think about her it's that you "guess" she could have masturbated and you need to let your fans know that....and as you say...all teenagers masturbate...so whats unique about Joanne? Again...fishing for something to reachily tie in but again...not really specific or nuanced at all to Joanne or her legacy. Which is why I argue this isn't that brilliant of a record and that its a bit messy and could have been a shorter...much shorter record. Or maybe a better fleshed out one.

and did she ever say anything about Joanne having a fake love? Did she ever say that.

 

again...all assumptions. which to a listener, isn't particularly interesting because throwing out what ifs and vague meaning that could apply to anyone isn't really personal at all.

She’s said multiple times that the album is about pain. And I think you can find that in every track. 

She said that about ARTPOP and Born This Way and The Fame Monster too.

:trollga:

Can we get a new subject?

However, this might make for a record where she sounds super petty like Taylor's Reputation. 

Maybe or maybe not. Again...why do we still care what the general public thinks anymore.

Do you want a genuine record?

Like....if Gaga ever puts out a genuine record then there are gonna be things on it that she says that probably make even some of us uncomfortable. No one is perfect.

but it doesn't sound ridiculous at all? go rewatch 5F2 if you're not understanding my theory

i'll repeat myself: gaga has said plenty of times how she feels Joanne in her and has explained how her death greatly affected her family, it was clearly a huge event.

it's completely realistic that gaga wrote the record through the eyes of Joanne. her family were obviously very willing to explain who Joanne was as a person during gaga's entire life which is over 30 years. personally i feel like that's more than enough time to understand a family member :triggered:

that's why she wrote Perfect Illusion for the record called Joanne :awkney: you're taking it too literally. Joanne doesn't HAVE to have experienced it but it's something she could have done and that's only something Gaga can know

i don't see how you'd know Joanne or Gaga well enough to criticise how well Gaga knows Joanne? i don't know gaga or joanne on a personal level at all, but i paid close attention to her behaviour during the era and it seems reasonable to theorise she's expressing Joanne as a person as well as Gaga's own struggles

The Fame was hardly about The Fame. ARTPOP songwise didn't exactly relate to the theme.

I agree which is why I listed The Fame Monster and Born This Way as her strongest concept records. The Fame does more than Joanne does, especially pretty brilliantly for her first pop release. The visuals, the lyrics, and the concepts harken back to Hollywood glitz, money, and campyness.

Nope, we can't. You should go ahead and find a happy pop tart to stan.

Joanne is as much about her self as it is about Joanne. It's her self healing, semi autobiographic album. She talks about how she feels her aunt Joanne is part of her and that Joanne is part of her name. The song Joanne is from the perspective of her father, as well as Gaga's view of how the death has affected her family. Most of the rest however is about Gaga's life and healing herself and her family. That's just my interpretation anyway. 

Basically, I feel it's called Joanne because, I'm sure she said this too, that song is the heart of the album, it's the one that links her family and her self the most and really sets the reflective theme of the album. It's a really appropriate title and the only other titles I could have seen working would be Just Another Day or Angel Down but I think they just wouldn't quite as well

The album was not about her aunt Joanne. It’s about herself, her feelings towards her family, friends and fame/fans. Remember her middle name is also Joanne
