Hybrid AT 78 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 On the occasion of the 4th anniversary of one of LG's best lead singles (there, I said it)Ā Which version do you prefer? Final version (Perfect Illusion; Lady Gaga, Kevin Parker, Mark Ronson, Bloodpop) Ā Demo version (Illusion; Tame Impala) Ā When both the song and demo hit hard in different ways and you can't chooseĀ "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends. They are my family, this is my home and you are not welcome here." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeIIadonna 5,480 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think I prefer the demo? But both are good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melania K Trump 6,294 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hearing the Tame Impala version properly for the first time, I kind of wish the final version was a duet or feature. Not to say Gaga's version is bad, butĀ Tame Impala's version definitely adds an interesting kick.Ā Imagine if their vocals were stacked on top of each other. I'd definitely like to hear that.

Bottom 1,842 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The demo version but with Gagas vocals, the production is much better and less generic sounding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both pretty solid for me. It's the vibe they both encapsulate that makes them special KP's version is more wistful and melancholic while LG's is more indignant and powerful Love both, but will probably still choose the final just because of the unrestrained emotionĀ "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends.

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The final version but I can see why some fans prefer the demo. The melody along with his light vocals takes you on a trippy journey. The demo seems toĀ focusĀ more on the illusionĀ aspect and Gaga's seems to focus more on the daunting realisation of waking up from the illusion and realising it was all fake. I like what she did to the song because it added more depth. Her lyrics and the harsherĀ vocals really changed it and took it to another level.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin's is more trippy because well, let's face it, it's his forte. But I'm glad he left his imprint on the final version too, even if it was pop-ified by Mark and Bloodpop. If you hear the official instrumental of the version, you can hear his traces throughout. It's raging with energy but his little hints of psychedelic pop are still sprinkled throughout. Also, the vocal takes like you just said are so interesting. The demo is focused on the illusion while the final is focused on the realization and the aftermath part. And that's why I prefer the latter just a little more. Gaga took it and made it her own tbh. One of her best songs and top 3 for me it isĀ A true gem in her discography š "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends.
