The title track sounds like she was just going through the motions. And when you compare it to the piano version she recorded while on tour, its night and day. The piano version is miles better than the album version. It’s funny you say that because that’s exactly why I love the album version of Joanne, her vocals sound very raw. I remember my brother saying she almost has like a Bob Dylan quality on that track. The piano version is so uninteresting and overly sentimental to me in comparison.

Same, it's lovely but it's just a standard piano ballad which I've heard 1000 times before. I prefer the original.

Zachary Jude 155 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Because people feel ownership over Gaga, and it is gross. Some people had it in their minds that LG5 would be another dance/pop album, so they raised their own expectations and ended up disappointed. That is not Gaga's fault. As an artist, she is free to create whatever she likes. Personally, I love Joanne, and I don't think it is fair to compare it to the rest of her discography. They're completely separate genres. Think it's a wound I still entertain... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 To be honest, I don’t get why fans hail Joanne as this extremely personal and intimate album. Yes it has some personal songs but overall it’s a very forced kind of vulnerability. A guitar and no auto tune doesn’t mean personal. The whole thing was just forced. I like the album but it’s got to be the weakest concept and theme that she’s done. It’s disjointed and all over the place. Even Chromatica is more personal than Joanne.

I remember my brother saying she almost has like a Bob Dylan quality on that track. The piano version is so uninteresting and overly sentimental to me in comparison. Theres raw, and then theres damaged vocals. But my point about her vocals were more so talking about the whole album rather than the title track. For me, the piano version of Joanne evokes so much more emotion than the album version. There's much more weight behind the lyrics, and the ways she uses the different textures of her voice just creates much more of a dynamic interms of sound. It amplifies the message and meaning of the song tenfold. The album version feels very boring and uninspired... you can 100% tell its done in one take. She sounds like she was going through the motions on it and not putting her full self behind it... where as the piano version she really lets it rip. The album version is definitely uninteresting to me. End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerer 12,524 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Joanne is my favorite Gaga album. It's like an album made for me. I got along with the jokes about it but it's true that some of the bashing is just disrespectful. I think Joanne is Gaga's album that will stand the test of time the best. ARTPOP did WORSE than Joanne, by the way. Not a lot in the GP remembers that album, not even Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
