somnambulist 1,526 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 We already have a bunch of threads on whether or not the song is “good”. This thread isn’t about that. I can’t change someone’s opinion. I felt that “crowd noises” needed to be discussed though. Some people here may find them distracting or confused as to why they’re included but a few points- a) In the context of the film, the performances are live. The VAST majority of the people disappointed in it have not seen the film and are confused and distracted. “Live” albums are a thing, and they’re still played on radio and are highly regarded. Albums like Nirvana- “Unplugged in New York” have the crowd cheering throughout, it made no difference, it was critically acclaimed and played on the radio all the time. B) It’s the safest song without diving too deep into the plot. It showcases their vocals and it’s the perfect teaser to the film. I had already made a thread about this point a couple weeks ago- overhyping something and being disappointed with zero context. I also told this forum to wait until watching the movie to dive too deep into the soundtrack because it was bound to disappoint when people were expecting “Lady Gaga” music. Context matters.

Impostor 4,114 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 That is not a live album though. They just put crowd noises in the studio record. I'm okay with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GANGIE 5,420 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think that crowd noises are only added in this exact song Just because it's Ally's momentum in the movie when she's rising as the star that people are gonna Fall in love with.

Okay so let me rephrase that. The album sounds like a studio record, all mixed and edited, and the crowd noises sound like samples. I'm okay with live albums, whether they have crowd noises or not. Led Zeppelin made their albums live and they sound MAJOR. I also think the crowd noises will merge with the whole album concept, since it has a lot of interludes with dialogues (apparently).

Jay.P 2,336 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'm not bothered by them. I was just under the impression that the soundtrack has the studio versions and they were going to be performed live in the movie. Do you hear that? It's poison.
