Skylight 911 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I still think that it is still one of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. And I can’t help but to think how did they write this masterpiece? The melody, the lyrics, the iconic “rah-rah-rah” and the “ohhh” part. As a songwriter myself, I don’t think I could write a pop song as good and as timeless as this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRocketMan 2,684 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think there are many better pop songs than Bad Romance out there. Bad Romance is too much of a word salad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whore 11,447 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think you’re making it more difficult than it really is. I’ve heard many demos that were composed of mostly “la-la-la” and whatnot. I think she just played around with it and made it more interesting than just la-la, obviously with ra ra’s and gaga’s and ooh-la-la’s. It’s just a more advanced version of that concept.

yes and 4,884 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 RedOne was the one who came up with “rah-rah-rah”. The demo version had the lyrics "ma-ma-ma''. Did you think I'd show up in a limousine? No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiskoBaby 1,929 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The genius of Bad Romance and The Fame Monster was that she wasn't even trying to make something great. It just came to her while she was touring. Remember The Fame Monster was originally supposed to be a reissue of The Fame, these songs were simply bonus tracks. Imagine the height of your debut album and you're randomly writing songs and have to choose one or some that's going to further promote your album. Now imagine that these songs would end up so good that they were worthy to be included as their own body of work. What was supposed to be a fun recording sessions to further promote her top selling debut album wound up being some of the best material she ever came up with. She wasn't even trying to top herself with a sophomore album, it just happened! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimus 298 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It was probably RedOne. Hence why she hasnt released a song as good as Bad Romance ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony31511 305 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 In my opinion, Bad Romance is the greatest pop song of the 21st century. No one else in the past 20 years has made a song as impressive as this one. The vocals, the lyrics, the production, the melodies, the hooks... it all works so well. Even more than 11 years later, I still frequently listen to Bad Romance. Gaga needs to work with RedOne again (Scheiße is also a masterpiece). It's such a shame it didn't work out this time around with Chromatica, but I'm hopeful the new album will include songs that will become just as iconic.

Blastertoyo 22,728 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The composition is actually pretty simple if you’ve listened to a lot of popular eurodance the beat, the gibberish hook, the synths please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpmonster 22,412 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Boney M influence too. But BR is more than just a few things thrown together. It's in the beauty of how it all works so well together.

Ally Campana 15,284 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 OGHs exposing themselves seamlessly in this thread huh . Bad Romance is her magnum opus and the thing is, no one could’ve sung the song but her. She completely owns it. Truly a masterpiece. Does it matter?

Miel 15,009 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 For years I’ve always wanted more insight into her creative process, for literally anything, but especially for her work from TF to TFM to BTW. It seemed like she was incredibly involved in the overall creation of each record, in every step and process. Co-producers even substantiated those claims, too. Oh, to be a fly on the wall during those times. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
