Gracious Gaga 17,163 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 So if y’all remember, this isn’t the first time Gaga has been nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category. Sam Smith snatched the Oscar from “Till It Happens To You”, meanwhile Gaga snatched the show with best performance of the night. I am one of those Little Monsters who are still bitter about Gaga’s loss. However, I am very optimistic that “Shallow” will give her that well deserved Oscar. But I want to know- if y’all had to give one of these songs the Oscar- which would you give it to? The tear jerking and emotional “Till It Happens To You” or the raw and edgy “Shallow”? I personallt think Till It Happens To You is a very strong song with a great message. ♥ Kindness Police. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 60,134 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 for her: Shallow cause i think she had more to do with it and the song being so vital in the movie. Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
androiduser 7,123 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow I always thought TIHTY was just Oscar bait because of its theme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P 18,380 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow is clearly the better song. Feel free to attack me if you disagree I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow. Sure, fans were butt-hurt for TIHTY loss, but the only thing that song had was an incredibly powerful message. As a song, it's not award worthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eros92 2,481 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 TIHTY It's a more fleshed out and well-produced song with a meaning attached to that millions of Americans can relate to. Shallow is just... eh. I mean I like the song but id love to hear an official solo studio version like she performs in the movie. I mean we only ever hear a half baked version thought of last minute and performed live. I mean like others have said even the structure of the song is messy.

Nikolai Barrow 1,337 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 TIHTY should have won. But Shallow is the better song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow for definite. TIHTY is more Diane Warren's song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pray4FameGa 3,141 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Lmao I can’t even compare them. Shallow shits all over TIHTY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,349 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow's a way better song! TIHTY was a good first attempt at Oscar bait but its message is very hamfisted. Musically, Shallow has a more interesting structure, better vocal performances, more interesting context, and is all around a superior track as well. God created Adam and Eve, but Gọdga collabed with Brian🎺 and Steve🎷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronk 14,106 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichAssPiss 4,163 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shallow is the truest type of song that should win the Oscar. It is integral to the film. It's what connects the two main characters. We hear it in the parking lot scene and then again at their first duet. And, of course, when Jack misses their duet at the end, that cements the loss. It is a song written for, and expertly used to tell a story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There's just nothing about it that stands out. Lyrically it's nothing special. And while it holds a lot of meaning in-universe between Ally and Jackson but without that context, it just sounds like another song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
