I got hyped about it when I woke up, checked insta and saw her announcement of it.. but when I heard the Judas cover and saw the abnormal prices in her shop the hype was gone in seconds, and didn't come back.

BTW is my favorite album, so I'm happy that she chose to do something for it's anniversary (I mean we could have gotten nothing at all) but the songs are simply not my cup of tea.

trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken but you can still see the crack in that ************s reflection.

i thought there would be covers for all of the songs, very disappointing 

I really was hoping for a cover of every song 

With Peace and love

It feels like they stopped half way... Could have had more more songs and artists from different fields

My biggest dislike is that there could’ve been just a few more reimagined songs. Hair, Scheiße, and Americano to name a few. 

that being said, my favorite songs are Judas by Freeda & HURTL By Highwomen :hug:those two really did a 180 on the electropop that Gaga did for those songs.

The only cover I truly enjoyed upon first listen and thought “yes, this is an amazing reimagined version” was Highway Unicorn. Now THAT is what I call reimagined. It sounds like a bop straight out of the 70s. I also enjoyed Big Freedia’s take on Judas, and I’ve begun to enjoy Kylie’s Marry The Night. The rest do absolutely nothing for me, and as I said before, sound like they were performed at a karaoke night. 

That Highway Unicorn cover was everything. Really made the writing shine through in a way I haven’t heard it before. 

Big Freedia’s beat was sick.

I don’t listen to much Kylie and don’t know a ton about her…but I really didn’t like her voice in her cover. 

Ben Platt’s You and I was NOT for me either, but I generally don’t care for his singing style, and also didn’t care too much for the arrangement. Shoulda been Miley.

The Fame

Sadly...it falls flat. The original Born This Way was POWERFUL. Like the way the instrumentals worked with her voice and the lyrics evoked emotions. All of these covers sound very weak and timid.

 

Also, only a couple songs were redone? It just seems weird? Like SURELY many artists would jump at the chance to cover an iconic Gaga song in an official rerelease, don't try to pretend they couldn't find people for the other songs. 

 

And also the album cover is not different? That's confusing for new fans trying to discover her and sort out what is what. Like just use a different cover lol

Don’t wanna be disrespectful but I think it’s such a lazy celebration of the album. “Reimagined” songs by like 5 different artist some of which I’ve never even heard of which is fine but when it’s for a BTW anniversary is it really? Idk gaga could’ve done a lot of things for this milestone but it seems like she had her team throw something together real quick which she didn’t even contribute too. She could’ve done a reimagined cover, old demos, old songs meant for the album? Bad kids extended, Americano Spanish versus, so many things. If I learned anything from this it’s to not expect anything for ARTPOPs anniversary lol

We’ve literally been begging for more Chromatica for a year, then kinda gave up and said “ok more ARTPOP then?”

and she said “but what about an album with lackluster covers of 10 year old songs by people you’ve never heard of? Also, I won’t sign your posters.” 
 

(still bitter about the signed Chromatica posters but I’ll live) :laughga:

It's a cute and empowering way to commemorate a legendary album, giving spotlight to lesser known artists beside Kylie of course, and it's definitely way better than just releasing merch. Sure her being involved in the project in any way shape or form (a.k.a actually hearing her on the tracks) wouldve been great but beggars cant be choosers :emma:

chaeri pls

Lmao right? The posters is another ridiculous thing. Overall I just wish things were more thought out and you know full realized concepts that people would actually be interested in
