Why does the chorus sound so familiar to me? :messga:

SAME, it feels like a mix between No Tears Left To Cry and Sweet But Psycho :selena:

were you not here during BTW? she tried, and pretty much did, pull every single living creature that wasn't in the slightest resemblance of what was popular back then towards her. if that's not completely attracting, & even adjusting to a certain type of a community, then idk what is, especially considering how normal & toned down joanna & asib were.

don't get me wrong, i respect her so much for that, but it's obvious that most of it was to please her label & be a money-making machine, as i'm pretty sure she's stated in a few interviews.

however, let's not bash on gaga or ava, i adore them both for some reason, and they're completely different artists. the fact that we're comparing them at all is absurd, one is 10 years into her career, the other one just released her 2nd single off of her debut.

You're right about BTWInterviewGa but she did not do this during TF(M) and I think it's better to compare their debuts than to compare Ava to Gaga years into her career.

In fact, Gaga clearly changed up her persona because she had already attracted an audience that identified itself as "weird" and "different" but not because she had actively tried to attract them with "freak anthems". That makes an important difference for me.

Anyway, I'll stop about it now. I'm glad you're enjoying her. I still think SBP is one of the best pop songs we've heard the last couple of years but this is just a big drop in quality to me, and for it to be another Glee-ish outcast rally song is just extra disappointing. But that's just one opinion ofc.

well, comparing debut to debut, i know what you mean, but it doesn't really make much sense, not every single career will be made in the same steps :emma:

 

i agree with that, SBP is definitely above this, and they're both extremely similar, a classical move to keep your audience at the biggest rate as possible after a smash debut.

She is just a pop singer doing pop music, she never promised something groundbreaking. It's so common to artists rip-off their biggest hits, not a big deal. Stop the drama, start the music.

I know. What I meant was that Ava is actively trying to brand herself as someone representing the weird teen who likes good ol' electropop music, basically directly filling the void that Gaga left in the last couple of years (coincidence? I think not) from the very beginning of her mainstream career.

That to me is far more calculated and unappreciable than Gaga just working hard to get her name out there, be it with a "weird" persona and look that set her apart from other singers, and finding out she gained a following of people who responded to her "weirdness", people Gaga later felt she could represent (and, of course, commercially speaking her label was obviously on board with that plan).

i think fans did that, not ava herself :reductive:

I'm not hating her but I really don't get the correlation between the songs message and the video.

Dreams of you and me are in the dirt.

The songs sound too similar and SBS is the better song imo. Hope their not rushing her music since she does have a lot of potential

the lyrics are such a cringe, such a repetitive concept and the song sounds just like the other one by her, the beat is literally the same, meh 

You can not hide if nobody pays attention to you :*

Oh brother this guy STINKS

It's kind of interesting how no one can really draw inspiration from Gaga without looking like a complete imposter. Like artists such as Janelle Monae, Bruno Mars, and Beyonce can draw inspo. from MJ/Prince and it's usually okay but the minute you start looking like Gaga you kind of look like a sellout. :rip: 

Edit: This same thing happened to Nicki Minaj when she started to dress "weird".

Oh no it is a boring Self Empowerment cash grab, just as I suspected

Bummer, I thought she was going to do something more interesting based on the teaser

I never want to hear another gorgeous skinny blonde telling us "I'm just liek u guise i understand!!!!!1"

My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3
