That was one of the cool things about the movie. They never actually said any of Ally’s music was “bad”. Jackson just said it was, but Ally never hated what she was doing. She literally cancelled her tour when she didn’t get what she wanted. She was in control, Jackson was just trying to hold her to the standards HE believed music should be held to. And like Ally said in the bathtub, it’s more that he feels pathetic and is shooting her down because of jealousy and feeling shitty about his own life/career and where it seems to be going.

Side tracking... but did anyone felt eerie when she was screaming the lyrics "not like mee!" and the scene cut to Jackson?

That was some creepy, hidden mickey, cry for help typa shhh

It's definitely self referential. It's not like Ally, the whole song.

OT: It's musically good and catchy, not groundbreaking, but catchy, and lyrically very simple. Not bad, just... nothing original. But still better than average.

RAH RAH AH AH AH ROMA ROMA ROMA MA

P-P-P-POKER FACE P-P-**** HER FACE

Yeah WDYDT isn't as good quality as the others but the repetitiveness isn't the issue.

Why everyone keeps saying is bad? :selena:

It's good :messga:

What if tomorrow I see you again? Should I say that I used to love you?

Thanks Diane 

this song is a bop and would smash radio, along with the other pop songs. My Instagram is flooded with gays bopping to WDYDT.

not all pop songs need to be serious with lyrics like “ prostitute wench vomits her mind”

That was an important distinguishing feature in Ally vs. Jackson. Jackson was stuck in what he considered "art" and "authentic music". Ally wanted to be a star and didn't have any hang-ups about getting there. And I think that's where they start falling apart. Jackson is on the waning effects of stardom feeling what it does to a man after awhile meanwhile Ally is riding the highs and doing whatever it takes for the gratification and fame. It's not about the music so much as the music is a vehicle that both of them have used for stardom but it's about that fame first and foremost which is why Gaga works so well in this role imo

I don't know. I still don't get used to this and HBF. It's not that it's bad, but compared to the rest of the soundtrack  (yes, even Heal Me :poot: ) it sounds basic. And the fact it is intended to sound basic doesn't make it better for me :madge:

Ew, David!

It’s not supposed to be “bad.” It’s supposed to be “shallow.” :trollga:
