You can ignore that one, if it's not strong enough for you. I think the point is still made. :vegas:

I guess, but is 83% of a point still a point, or does it just become an abstract shape :vegas:

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

REALITY

I think getting angry over song lengths is really shallow, honestly. Don't judge a book by its cover, y'all :trollga:

ROM is only 3:02, and it doesn't even feel short at all. In fact, the length is perfect for that song. Just because the songs are shorter doesn't mean that they won't be as catchy, addicting, danceable, etc. She made these songs these lengths for a reason. Trust her and trust the producers who helped make the songs.

Let a bitch whines in peace. I personally prefer songs aroud 4 minutes as they usually have more rooms for creative elements, to play around with dynamics and just generally more lyrics.

A shorter song can have more creative elements, dynamics, and lyrics than longer songs. Length means nothing.

I think that it's great that she's got some short songs but I do generally feel that she could have done at least 1 or 2 BTW era length songs for the gays. lmao. 

I just want 1 really amazing extended mix dance track.

We love the acknowledgement of "They All Laughed" - truly one of the best off of Cheek to Cheek imo!

 

   It's also worth noting that HALF of Cheek to Cheeks 20 over all songs are under 3 minutes and even the longest of the remaining 10 is 4:15. These are songs that have stood the test of time and are truly classics too! It's a lot like writing an essay for school, some kids will turn in 10 pages and it can be just okay and then some kids can turn in 3 pages and knock it out of the park!

But the thing is when the assignment is a 4 page paper you don’t get bonus points for turning in 8. There’s a craft to editing and actually creating a clean, no fat no filler body of work. Everyone thinks longer equals better but Gaga has been consistently criticized for her lack of editing on her albums over the years. Whether it’s a bad song inclusion or an over bloated length (looking at your BtW) there’s no reason to meltdown over song lengths. 
 

once you realize a lot of the people whining are the same people that always whine you take it less seriously. These people are already miserable and need to find other people to blame for it. Sometimes it’s her team sometimes it’s her but lord knows it’ll NEVER be the person melting down who maybe just needs to grow up

I don't mind the others, what kinda bothers me it's sour candy being so short. I'm afraid the girls will be just backing vocals in the chorus

   Exactly! It's crazy people put so much weight on song length when in reality 90% of Gagas songs that are 5 minutes can be cut down to 3 realistically and not lose anything of significant value. Often it's just multiple hooks repeated through out or drawn out instrumentals at the beginning or end. Born This Way as an album is very tough to get through at 73 minutes. When every single song has this long extended intro and outro it just makes it feel like the album drags on for ages. These longer cuts work great as extended versions or live versions - but on an album a bunch of 5 minute songs can just be detrimental and make the experience almost fatiguing even if the music is good.

came to the conclusion that some like to meltdown over everything, others like to join the meltdown, others like to watch the meltdown, etc. I have no complaints about the length of the songs we got so far... and i'm sure friday i will be awesomely surprised.

Oh please just stop talking about it, it's not a big deal :billie:. We're getting a new album and it's the only thing that actually matters.

Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch, just drink my ****ing coffee and watch 90's cartoons and hush

You bitches aren't even going to notice when you have it on repeat all day. 2/2 songs released so far have immense repeat value. Clearly that's something she is going for.

And then some of us come here to talk about how excited we are and have to read through 20 pages of meltdowns to positively have a discussion with another member which was the whole point of the site in the first place. 
 

seeing someone say “the way we lost” when we are about to get the pop album we’ve been begging for since ARTPOP is truly showing how ungrateful her fans are. If she never did dance pop again I would not at all be surprised
