Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm tired of yall screamimg overrated at anything that sees adequate praise and respect. Bad Romance is a LEGENDARY song, it deserves all the "rate" it gets.

I do not agree. 

In general, I think that the concepts of overrated and underrated do not actually make all that much sense. 

If a song is widely liked, it doesn't make sense to call it overrated simply because it doesn't have the same impact on one person. Clearly, many people love and adore it, so it isn't overrated. 

Underrated would only make sense if a lot of people have not listened to a song, if it didn't have enough exposure. 

Replay is a song that everyone here seems to be obsessed with. They clearly like the song. I enjoy the song, but it's not an album highlight for me. But I wouldn't say it's overrated because clearly many people love it.

MARRY THE NIGHT is the actual overrated song here :triggered:

Wrong. It's highly underrated, and it didn't top the charts as it deserved. 

The GP doesn't even know about it.

Gaga herself seems to have forgotten about it. She never performed it again.

 I adore Bad Romance, and I believe it's the song that made me become a fan of Gaga. I could not hate it if I wanted to.

 

 

I feel like that right there proves it's not over-rated? Like the song is so good even when you are trying to make an argument against it you still say you 'adore' it and couldn't even hate it if you tried. You also mention it's the song that literally lead you into being a fan (aka a huge accomplishment for a song), and most likely lead you to the rest of her discography. Surely you aren't the only one with this experience. The song literally captivated people and created more Little Monsters. I would not define that as being over-rated. It accomplished A LOT and deserves the accolades.

I sort of agree. I think it deserves what it has, but at the same time I think it's overrated when compared to her other work. I think there's better songs in her discography than Bad Romance, and yet that's the song she's always going to be known for the most.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but BR would only be overrated if it were truly unworthy of the praise it's gotten. Heck, it didn't even go #1 in the US! One can still prefer other songs of hers without diminishing BR's significance.

With the GP maybe, but with fans this song is sooooo overrated, people treat like it was one of the biggest masterpieces of Gaga, when it's not even top 5 on it's own album... I love this song, but it's not all that people make it seems to be, and definitely doesn't come close to the level of Iconic of Bad Romance

It's easy to say it's overrated as we have all listened to it for a decade now but Bad Romance is definitely among her best songs that being said I do think has topped it since. However i would say sonically it is a lot better than Marry The Night or You and I.

I think Bloody Mary The Edge of Glory Sinners Prayer Shallow ARUTW and 911 in my opinion are all better songs. Her catalog is just full of great songs so it's really hard to determine which is the best.

Music video wise I would also agree. Basically all her videos from telephone -G.U.Y. are superior. And I think ROM is also a better video.

These lyrics are just as iconic as Alice's first verse and chorus. :legend:

Sorry but no. Bad romance is highly rated, critically acclaimed, and still regarded as one of the best music videos of all time. And deservingly so. The song was so FRESH to pop landscape when it came out and was more monstrous in size and power than anything from The Fame. It's iconic, and in fact underrated for only reaching #2 when it should be among her list of #1s on bbh100. 

 

Marry the night and you and I are incredible songs too. Does not take away from the power of Bad Romance.
