A Hybrid 11,049 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 3 hours ago, Korok said: no seriously im so sorry but this opinion gave me alopecia You like songs because of their choreo and video so of course you wouldn’t like ARTPOP It has a lyrical meaning above love/hate, the lyrics are Art and Pop talking to each other, calling each other and imagining a union. ARTPOP may not be Gaga’s best song, but it overperforms Alejandro in every way except for being an “earworm” like you said Alejandro was, which is not exactly a good thing. No shade to Alejandro, but some of her other songs are just better. This is just my opinion of course. Hell my GGD name is from ARTPOP the song. But one thing’s clear, saying you’re “sorry but...” doesn’t make up for the incoming bash of one’s opinions. No family’s safe when I sashay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 56,142 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Uhm, this is not atrl to act like your opinion is a fact. I personally agree, maybe it's not her best song but it's so good that I don't feel offended when is named her best song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think about Alejandro. It's a song with obvious Latin influences, yet she paired it with a cold, bleak, snowy, video inspired by Catholic and military imagery, a music video..full of ghostly pale skin, a latex habit, and men in fishnets. It was unexpected. What she did, at the time, was turn things on their head. I love Alejandro. Well she also wore leotard and sexy outfits for LoveGame and a fashionable outfit suited for party for Just Dance. She performed Born This Way in a costume that resembles placenta. Judas MV and performances costumes were all religious-inspired. I don't think using stereotypical imagery is something bad. But I agree that the contrast between the summery vibe of Alejandro and the video is truly impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judas is a good example of that, she re-imagined Jesus's twelve disciples as a motorcycle gang. For Born This Way she basically exhausted every metaphor for life and death possible - hatching from an egg, coming out of a coffin, fake pregnancy bumps, dancing out of an inflatable vagina, creating a new alien race, being covered in primordial ooze. But for each one, she put a new spin on it. In Alejandro she is singing "hot like Mexico" in the snow in a latex habit. I personally appreciate that kind of unpredictability and oddness, as opposed to whatever she has been doing for the last few years. You are welcome to disagree though.

Although I tagged this as "opinion" it's simply NOT an opinion; this is a cold HARD fact. - The choreo? Spectacular. It's beautiful and romantic. - The video? Added a whole new visual DIMENSION to the song - The PRODUCTION? her best. Those growling synths and repetitive chorus is a total earworm. - The lyrics/meaning? also her best. I love how it's a big unapologetic goodbye to all of your past lovers ("Alejandro - Fernando - Roberto"). - and helloooooooo the mf violin .. --> how it over-dramatizes the song like ohhh woe is me :'( "I know that we are young and i know that you may love me... but i just cant be with you like this anymore... alejandro" like that **** HITS. Not to mention that the song itself has aged like FINE WINE. Bad Romance did not have that affect. Conclusion: the legend really jumped out here. I seriously don't know a better song. Like I generally dislike the direction Gaga's career is in right now but this song is her one (1) redeeming factor as an artist. Omg MARRY ME!!!!!!!

Bad Romance was iconic and masterpiece right from the second it released. It needn't age like a wine. However if she hadn't released Bad romance, I think she has around 15 songs including alejandro competing for #1 and all of them are perfect.
