Didymus 34,049 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 What do you think is Gaga's most daring musical moment thus far? For me it has to be the second pre-chorus, chorus, bridge and outro of Highway Unicorn Those loud ass hair metal drums, the unapologetically distorted guitars, the rough vocals in the bridge, that oddly cold and distant outro with the super weird keyboard organ instrument choice,... To release this on a pop album is so ****ing BALLSY, she doesn't get enough credit for BTW and how spectacular it was, even if some of the songs didn't reach their full potential That album was a balls to the wall, no compromise punch in the face and it'll probably never be surpassed in that sense I have to get an honorable mention out there to Americano too though I still can't believe she somehow pulled off a perfect marriage between hardcore electronic beats and orchestral mariachi touches. Like who the **** thinks of that Again, a song that doesn't get enough credit I think. Name me one other pop star who ever did a song like that What are yours? Let's share and honor Gaga's out and proud creativity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncho 27,241 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The bridge of The Queen An underrated bop. And yes I agree Highway Unicorn is a magical song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkmanthaC 111,435 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 "musical moment" makes me think of something she has done, not just from a song. I think her VMAs performance of Paparazzi was daring. She was pretty new in her career, but got on stage singing with blood running down her. She made a statement and it was made well. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tbh that orchestral remix was a musical moment if there ever was one omg that arrangement was sick It powered the song with so much dramatic energy that was so right for that particular performance. It was amazing to see how much she worked on creating that piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 6,912 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I agree about those songs you listed completely. The Queen, Bad Kids, Electric Chapel are pretty daring too. BTW is such a distinct and unique pop album. The way she merged many genres into one is amazing and one of a kind. I think Perfect Illusion was pretty daring too. The changes in the keys and stuff made it such a risky sound to take on. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Theres too many Superbowl HTS The National Anthem where she took a risk and actually did it live and made it her own song The Sound of Music tribute The VMAs 2009 Paparazzi performance The Applause VMA performance Shallow performances this year Doing a whole Jazz + Piano show The whole of the BTW era End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskardsb 12,565 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Born This Way remains her most musically adventurous album, because her intent was to literally fuse electronic pop and the rock and metal that she also liked to listen to. It wasn't always successful but when it was it was pretty brilliant. That album contains in my opinion her highest highs as well as some of her biggest misses, but that type of volatility is expected in such an artistic endevor. And Americano makes me smile every time I listen to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianosavant 67 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The most daring? SXSW performance of Swine. I live for it, it’s iconic, but literally no other pop star would ever think about doing something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 As of musical components of songs I love the bridges from Hey Girl and Money Honey. Plus, the I wanna love you, but something's pulling me away from me part from Judas is a complete heartwreck. Of course, the choruses from Paparazzi and Bad Romance, I also love the funky feel and catchiness from Summerboy and Panty Party choruses. I love the instrumentals from Dance In The Dark and Mary Jane Holland (the synths and beats are blustering, explosive and non-stopping, listening to these songs is eargasm after eargasm). I love the little prolonged vibrato thing that she had going on feels good to be lonely at the end of the final chorus, I believe of Dancin In Circles which I just realized nobody ever acknowledged. Edit: Just realized daring means something different than I assumed but I put a lot of energy into what I wrote so I'm going to leave the comment anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
