OMonster 14,637 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Excluding C2C and ASIB... what's your favourite opening track on a Gaga album? For me, it's Alice. The 'My name isn't Alice' just shook me like never before Note: this isn't a poll asking for your favourite track. It's about the track you enjoy most as an album opener, specifically. Example: if you're like me, you might prefer Bad Romance to Alice, but think that Alice works better as an opener. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherries 357 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Aura was different. I think it was a shook and thats why it was different. I've learned love is like a brick. You can build a house or sink a dead body Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely set the tone of the album. For me, my ranking would be: 1) Alice 2) Marry The Night 3) Aura 4) Bad Romance 5) Just Dance 6) Diamond Heart It's interesting because each track, maybe aside from DH, have extremely distinctive openings. I love that. (DH is great and it's a great opening for Joanne... but it's not as instantly 'recognisable' as the others) subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celloo Deng 53,887 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 As openers, I love Marry The Night, Diamond Heart and Aura do i need to understand a pineapple to eat a banana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Very Gaga Holida 21,920 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think Just Dance, Bad Romance and Diamond Heart are mediocre as openers, but Marry The Night, Aura and Alice are great. I would say Marry The Night is the best though. You can tell it's not a last minute addition and that it cemented the sound of the album in a way. And it's the only one that has an explosive outro.

Lickitung 184 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 For me, Aura is the perfect wild and crazy start ARTPOP needed. I think Bad Romance is a great opener aswell, but would be even better as a closer (imagine Dance In The Dark opening TFM and Bad Romance closing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstrosity 3,939 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 It depends on how you read the question, if it’s best song that happens to open an album, it’s BR for me, but if it’s best way to open a piece of work and set the atmosphere, it’s Chromatica I + Alice or maybe Aura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilboyblue 4,096 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Chromatica I + Alice hands down. Marry the Night is such a great song, but for some reason I'm very lukewarm at it being the opening song. I don't think it flows very well into Born This Way. It actually feels like an album ender for me. Love the opening lines on Diamond Heart, so maybe that would be my 2nd choice. 1 - Chromatica I + Alice 2 - Diamond Heart 3 - Aura 4 - Bad Romance 5 - Marry The Night 6 - Just Dance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skabi 3,096 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 If i had to choose it would be marry the night, it set the tone for entire btw album. Not just about the sound, the entire experience However each opener served its purpose imo so it's hard to choose just one, HER MIND Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every opener is pretty great, and it's interesting that all six of them are 1) highlights of their respective album, and 2) would probably all appear high up in all-time favourite lists. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
youandi 2,110 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Diamond Heart is incredible so I'm sad it's so low but I voted Marry The Night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
