I like them so much better than the album version, which in my opinion is overproduced. There are a few other good ones on YouTube too ā from the iHeart Radio concert, where she dedicates the song to a Little Monster who took his own life, and the Thanksgiving special, plus a couple of others.Ā Oh, and I loved your write-ups and your chart system! I agree with most of your rankings other than "Dance in the Dark" and "Dope."Ā Ā Thank you, that's very sweet of you to say! I'll have to repay DITD another visit because of the UPROAR it's caused on here - maybe I had blocked ears the first time around Ā I'll definitely check out those performances - I'm a sucker for a live vocal > studio production ANY DAY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kah 50 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 So great to hear that both Aura and Dope are growing on you @ImCalledTTĀ As to my opinion ARTPOP the song - I skip it for the party, but I like it in general. It definitely took some time tho, I used to hate itĀ Ā the performance below helped big time Ā Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavymlover 340 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm so here for some ARTPOP loveĀ Ā The messy era kind of had a negative impact on some people's opinion on theĀ album. I totally agree with you on J&D. Total skip for me. On the other hand, I actually really enjoy MJH (and I don't even smoke). Also, you should check out I Wanna be With You. It's the original version of Dope, and in my opinion it's the superior one, although I understand Gaga changed it because Dope was a very personal telling of some of theĀ issues she was going throughĀ at the moment.

Ā Ā Ā Yeah I'm glad I've got to appreciate the album outside of any era messĀ can't believe y'all let that happen, smh. Ā I loved I Wanna Be With You wow! It's definitely a more paired back Dope, with smoother vocals and just generally softer sonically. And those drums at the end with the big build up? BEAUTIFUL. I kinda get why she changed it up for the album, because it doesn't really fit with the ARTPOP sound, but I'm glad we've got this standalone version at least.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
