What does that even mean? She is single handedly reviving pop music and is being praised right, left and center for it. Just because she made some mistakes in her past that doesn’t mean she isn’t respected now. 

I love Dua's new songs I only meant that her songs are the prime example of a genre of music pop fans pretend Pitchfork can't stand. That's simply not true. She makes quintessentially pop songs but they're well done so Pitchfork supports her, simple as that. As I said before: they're simply not biased towards pop stars, that doesn't mean they bash every pop star for the **** of it.

The indie nerd gamers loves this song, they lost

I stand by anyone who says SL is better than BTW (song) because it is.

I haven't asked any friends about this yet so I haven't seen or heard if anyone's reactions yet other than the state of the song

 

U know straight guys that like the song?

Yes. Check social media, reaction videos on YouTube, etc. 

I've seen positive reactions and love for the song and video across the internet from the straights and GP

You don't wanna be negative, yet you come to a thread of a positive review to state how much you dislike the song? 

One of the first comments too

It’s like they’re sitting here just waiting to attack

Idk why everyone keeps thinking we are only getting huge cinematic story videos for all her pop music. 

Stop limiting her to what she used to do. 

It's a fun dance song with bright colors and cool outfits. Video doesn't have to be more than that. 

Just Dance was a video with little to no choreography and shots of her just walking around a party. 

LoveGame was short, had choreography but no story. 

 

The irony is that for YEARS (starting with BTW and continuing on until basically now) everyone on here has been complaining that her MVs are too long and weird and that's why they don't get as many views as her older ones. When MTN flopped, everyone jumped to blame Gaga for making a long MV with a storyline.

Now, here we are with Gaga literally giving her fans EXACTLY what they have been asking for the last several years: a return to catchy, fun, relatable pop music with a MV that the GP will actually stream and now they're complaining!

Alright, back to my beauty rest before the season premiere tonight!

Reaction videos I saw a few but I thought usually in videos ppl tend to be positive anyway to appeal to viewers?

 

I dunno I don't typically follow these YouTubers so I wouldn't know

If they praised Dua of all possible people it means they're absolutely not as brutal on pop stars as everyone has been pretending they are for the last couple of years, that's what I mean

And again: they're not saying Gaga is filling a void, they're saying that both Dua and Gaga are doing that but that, even while doing so, it's still a letdown compared to Gaga's earlier outings. That's about the current pop landscape more than this specific song.

Anyway, whatever. It's just weird to me that fans have to pretend reviews are better than they are to feel good about a release. Who cares. One day this fanbase doesn't give a crap about critics, the next they're suddenly ok with it. It's absurd.

I think you're dismissing Dua - her new music has been very well acclaimed. It's not a diminishing thing to be compared to her.

I do agree that fans often change their minds about whether critics matter but that's just human? It happens with charts, with awards, with Trump supporters calling fake news over whatever doesn't make them feel good... This is pretty normal.

The ones I've seen were pretty genuine and didn't seem forced at all to appeal to viewers. 

They seemed genuinely shook and enjoying it, literally bopping and dancing to it.
