agree. the final version sounds like a generic kygo or some other dj song from 2016, same thing for 1000 doves.

 by far the worst songs sonically from the album.

and the fact that she removed half the lyrics from both verses ("Electric devotion") and the whole bridge... a huge mistake

I don't think it's the worst sonically. That goes to 1000 doves for me. But I was disappointed in the generic (by comparison) instrumental. I still want to belt it out because I think the chorus is good and I like the message...but yeah. They cleaned this one up too much. People saying, "Well if you didn't listen to leaks, you wouldn't be disappointed" are basically saying you should live in ignorance and be fine with getting something not as good??? I don't get those kinds of statements. I think shortening the song was wise. I think taking the bridge out, which was quintessential Gaga, was silly. I really love Chromatica. But I don't really get why they turned a pretty unique song for Gaga into something so...expected.

I was soooooo in love with the 3:41 demo from FW. It needed some cut especially the bridge *i want you to be be free free*, but the song as it was was great.

now the official version has that ****ing horrible dance break instead of the first chorus. Production feels lazy and empty.

that song was ruined for me

i still prefer the demo. That had such a power

then listen to the demo :billie:

What are you talking about? While I'm not a fan of the beat drop in the finished version, the finished version is SO much smoother.

The demo is a bop. The bridge >>>>>

 

But I love the album version. And it fits better with the overall sound of the album. With SL being a bop, followed by ROM, a bop as well, FW provides a very pleasant transition to FT. Even outside the album's sonic context, the song is beautiful. :kiss:

what first chorus? In the demo version I heard it went straight from 'im still something if i don't got a man, I'm a free woman" to "this is my dancefloor" - so we gained a dance break, no?

I prefer the demo version too. Although I would've cut the ending and  a bit of the bridge..

The final sounded empty and just not as powerful as the demo. I didn't like the instrumental break either. 

I don't hate the final, but I'm not the biggest fan of it either.

excuse me no
