slayo 7,663 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Yes, that's right, the best song of Gaga's career needs more attention. Recently, the Early Version of Babylon finally leaked in full and it's been quite the scandal! That now brings us to a total of FOUR unofficial official versions of Babylon (as she deserves). Which version is the best? Which one is your favorite? Which one should've been Chromatica's lead single? Let your vote be known here! Make it stupid!

ChrissyBot 2,252 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 For me: album version > early version > Bree/DOC remix > Haus Labs version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Album version is just ethereal, truly one of Gaga’s best songs. Following that, I think if you mashed up the leaked version and Haus Labs, you could make something really magical but both need a bit of work. The Bree remix is very good. I find it hard to rank with the others as it feels like it’s own song with Bree’s additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladle Ghoulash 16,684 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Album version blows the rest of them out of the water. EV and DOC versions are fun, tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Parker 353 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 2 years waiting for the early version/V Magazine, in the end the album version served much more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavymetalartpop 304 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Album version is the best but the beats in the Haus Lab one are iconic and I wish they had been included, and a lot of the elements in the EV one remind of BTW/ARTPOP and I wish they had been included as well.

thierryrreiht 20,677 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Song as a whole, the album version. Honourable mention for Bree's version. The early version is ok I guess, would need to hear the full thing to confirm. The HausLabs version has the most iconic instrumental, but the final product is dull and feels empty.

Anderson123 36,175 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Album version obviously. Haus Labs from Dawn of Chromatica is pretty cool too with loud speakers. The early demo sounds horrible, can't stand the Bowie sample, guitar and babylo0o0on in the background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostitute Barbie 4,076 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I love the ideas behind the early version best of all but since it’s a demo that’s not mixed and mastered I think my favorite is still the album one. Though the greatest would be if the Haus Labs song was married to the early version’s vocals in high quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Monster 4,854 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Strange how we yearned for the early / HL versions when the album was out... But now I realise the album version might be supreme. Those gospel voices are the main reason I think, the 90s "vogue" instrumental style is sublime and unapologetic, the track also seems to progress better and gets louder, celebrating with final stripped out chorus with claps. The recently leaked early version is pretty sick though. Need to listen to it again. Kind regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,805 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Album version and it’s not even a contest. It’s a sound I’ve wanted Gaga to do for a long time and I’m glad that when she got around to doing it, she wrote a song with such respect and adoration to the origins of the genre and legacy. Need it to have a video and become one of her signature songs because it’s deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
