PE ****ING RIAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT

I honestly do not know a better song. Sometimes I have epiphanies and my mouth falls open thinking about how Gaga got into the studio, screamed WRAHRWRAHHH into her mic and made it go number one all over the world. Such uniqueness nerve and talent has simply never been and never will be matched.

chaeri pls

It's not my favorite Gaga song, but it definitely was a cultural reset :firega: . And nobody can deny that :legend: .

Ew, David!

Bad Romance is iconic but I still prefer Scene 98

I love Stupid Love and I do think it is an underrated bop but gurll it's literally the most messy production in Gaga's discography. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the production is actually fun at the end of the day, but you can't call Bad Romance or DITD productions "messy" while calling Stupid Love's "neat" :koons:

Stupid Love production is immaculate :laughga: Its literally the song’s saving grace lol.

100% agree

There's an in-depth analysis by Owen Pallett that you can find online which really shows the genius of this song.

Ever since I read that part my mind was blown (you don't need to fully understand music theory, because you can actually hear it in Gaga's voice):

The melody appears twice per chorus, but over two distinctly different chord progressions (VI-VII-i-III the first time, VI-VII-V-i the second). The first time, “bad” appears as G-natural, leaping down a fourth to “romance.” The second time, “bad” appears as a G-sharp, leaping down a tritone.

That G-sharp wants to go upward. It wants to rise to the A, resolving the cadence as a music school freshman would have done. But Gaga goes down, leaving that “bad” leading note hanging. Why? Because she herself is bad. Further accentuating the badness of that “bad”: That interval, the tritone, is historically linked to sexual desire and the devil. Whether or not Lady Gaga is familiar with the specifics of Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony is irrelevant; she has scored a textbook-worthy usage of Western music theory’s favorite signifier for EVILDOING.

:nooo:

Kind regards
