tyler k 5,330 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 fantastic song, slapped in 2016 and still slaps in 2021. the lyrics HITT and the emotion behind them builds & builds so well and that key change?! her vocals!? the power!!! honestly Perfect Illusion is up there with some of her best songs. deserved to be a top 5 hit, it makes me sad that it's the only lead single Gaga has that didn't break into the top 10, it deserved soooo much more acclaim. also since AHS is coming back I always think about this incredible teaser that used Perfect Illusion in the promo and it got me SOOO HYPED: (CW - spiders) mmmy name ~isn't~ aliceee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Married the Night 3,955 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Worst single she’s ever put out. It’s empty. It’s hollow. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhHenny2020 2,822 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 it isn’t underrated. it’s a solid B+ but it is far from her best and especially as a lead single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennywise 36,079 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 My least favorite Gaga single though I really love the bridge part So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMATICA 2020 477 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 You called??? But seriously, great song and still a rager when it plays in my car. Only thing for me first listen when it premiered was that it always felt a bit too short? Like it ended very abruptly. Also agree with others that it wasn't the best choice for lead single.

socotra 3,310 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Phenomenal song, one of the sturdiest in her discography. Still sounds fresh 5 years later. Only problem is it just shouldn't have been on Joanne. I think Joanne suffered from being an identity crisis – was it supposed to be a country or rock album, a headpopper or gritty vibe? I feel like singles, especially lead singles, should be somewhat indicative of the album they're promoting (and literally every other Gaga lead single does this), but if you heard Perfect Illusion and checked out Joanne cuz you thought it'd be similar songs, you'd be in for a huge letdown. i love the song, it's just bizarrely placed in her discography. if she ever does a full rock album, PI certainly would fit better on there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLuna 12,732 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 One of Gaga's most underrated songs, I never understood all the hate it got. It deserved so much better. That god-tier key change still gives me goosebumps People said it was a weak lead single, but personally, I think it's an absolute bop, and a better lead single than Stupid Love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
