Yeah but I don't get it :oprah:

Amoung my friends that song was a bop, even for the ones that weren't LM. I remember everytime we played the song at a party it was awesome, everybody danced to it :music:.

And also I remember I used to watch PI on MTV a lot. And even when the MR video came out, they played PI and then MR right after, so...

I don't get your point here :poot:

Modern Ecstacy

Despite what anyone says, imo, Perfect Illusion is one of the best songs she has released to date

I think it's the best lead single ever.

It's completely what I wanted from Gaga all along.

Powerhouse vocals+Energy+Synths+80's Rockish vibe

Sorry, not ****ing sorry.

-it was an aggressive pop-rock song with a modulation halfway through, released when rap and mid-tempo songs were dominating

-the vocals are very aggressive, while most of the current pop songs have very soft / whispered vocals

-promotion was awful, she did a few radio interviews that's it.

-the radio response / callouts were terrible

-the music video was 'too shaky' for many , many people

-the production itself sounds like a demo, it has great potential but it gets very repetitive quickly 

-it doesnt sound very great live (im talking about the album version ,not the piano version)

Overall a very enigmatic move from Interscope / Gaga to release such a song as a lead single.

I like the song , dont get me wrong, but I like it as an album track, not a lead single.

I like it now, but first few listens were underwhelming. Hits tend to be songs that really grip you from the start.

-It's a loud disco-rock song. At the time the only songs the GP wanted to listen to were tropical house songs with whispery or Halsey like vocals; or generic trap songs. Nothing high tempo.

-The promotion was scarce.

I literally only just started to really love PI within the past week. It's a banger, but it doesn't catch most people on the first listen, and for some it never catches them at all.

Gaga completely ignored it and the song is way too repetitive and the vocals are not nice to listen to.

it had very basic promo plus not very radio friendly or trendy

it's a great song, one of my favourite single eras tbh but not hit material
