Gaga Needs To Bring Back The “Weird”

I was scrolling thru tiktok and I’ve seen at least 3 viral TikToks from big accounts calling Rain On Me “the worst song ever” and “an H&M song”. It’s not THAT bad but again, these posts got a **** ton of likes and the comments are all agreeing.

 

While the ROM video was cool, I genuinely feel like the GP would EAT if Gaga released one of the weirder songs as the next single (Replay, Babylon or 911). At this point it’s less about having a stable hit (we already have ROM) / kissing radio’s a$$ and more about rekindling the GP’s interest in her music and artistry.
 

Here are the TikToks in question that I’ve seen :

EDIT : just making it clear that I don’t care about these people’s opinions but it seems to be a good amount of the general public’s opinion. And it’s more that they know Gaga has much more potential I guess? 

 

thoughts?

My thoughts are who gives a **** what these people thing? :ladyhaha: could they make a song as good as ROM? Is Gaga bashing their TikTok “art”? Singles are meant to be GP friendly. That’s whole point. If ROM is too “basic” then it’s doing it’s job, and it’s doing it pretty well since it hasn’t left the top 10. Thank you, next. If they want crazy they can spend five seconds to go from ROM to the more experimental songs.

Gaga should make 911 the next single and use the song with Chromatica 2 in the music video. It's the perfect song to show her weirdness plus some cool choreography!

Pop music will never be low brow. Also let’s see these people make music that gets played *anywhere*.

Critics and the streaming public is eating ROM up. This is just a specific subset of kids who want to seem edgy.

don't want to sound offensive but based on the way these people choose to express themselves I would have to say they have no taste at all :bye:

As much as I would love “Replay” to be a single, its chances to be successful are not so big, I don't know if Interscope is ready to pay for such a risky song (not that it can harm Gaga at all, but maybe it will not be cost-effective)

I’m sorry but that’s a load of rubbish! ROM has been one of her most successful pop singles in a loonggggg time! Ppl may call it generic, but if “generic” is getting some of her biggest sales, vastly positive responses from critics, a STUNNING music video, and one of her best chart positions globally, then so be it! Tbh some of the tik tokers are like 10 yrs old so I wouldn’t trust their taste AT ALL lol. Plus, if ROM is playing in H&M, the mall floor better be ready for a full on BODY MOP :vegas:

Get that fire exit door, I’m off...

Maybe y'all tried to start a TikTok trend, the song would have got a huge positive and have less focus on these comments. But then again, promo is promo, they're talking about it, it's getting exposure. Loads of people like the song, otherwise it wouldn't be charting so well. And amongst all the rap music, that's a massive achievement in 2020 - akin to the successes of Dua and The Weeknd. The music industry currently undergoing a slight shift - even Little Mix's news music is very 80s and retro.

Gaga's definitely back to the weird too. The Rain On Me video was classic Gaga, the bridge, the outfits, the symbolism... SL was cute and that seems to be universally loved by critics. 

i can't see Interscope wanting to take a risk with Replay or even 911. They're clearly pulling out the big guns for a big pop era with all the playlist payola and stuff. I think they just wanted one big pop era and a massive stadium tour. I'm convinced Free Woman is the next single or Sour Candy.

So does every trending song on Tik Tok that these kids love to dance their cringy asses to.
