Donatellah 1,896 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I started preferring Xtina remix after being over the solo version so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The solo one... I kinda wish ARTPOP had no feats tbh (no hate on J&D, I like the song, I don't like it in the album) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornthisway135 439 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The solo version is my vote. The second verse truly brings the real meaning full circle. I love it. the original has a special place in my heart. When it was released as promo single and the public went crazy for it, its demand replaced Venus as second single. The song hits so hard! the Xtina one just sounds like she is trying out sing Gaga and I don’t like it. Like gurl this isn’t your song, try to blend for once. I don’t know, that version is unlistenable to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIM820 1,770 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I could give a crap less about how the original sounded, the lyrics were grotesque and inexcusable. You could also add any other good R&b singer and it would sound pretty much the same (Usher comes to mind) so I wouldn’t even use that as a reason to choose it. The Xtina one is perfectly serviceable and works with the meaning of the song. She’s never going to “blend” with Gaga because they have different belts. Obviously she knew that when they did the remix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,530 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I'm really surprised how the original is strongly in the lead rn! Besides the fact that we all hate R Kelly on a personal level, I always thought his verse sonically made no sense. The lyrics had nothing to do with the concept of the song, and the melody/structure doesn't parallel Gaga's at all. Well apparently that is a unpopular opinion around here (I love Gaga's 2nd verse and I think it's perfect no matter who is singing it!) My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinasawachanta 2,674 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 None. It feels out of place in Gaga's catalog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOT2027 10,807 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 if r kelly wasn’t vile and they released that version today, it would be a smash hit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresco 1,688 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 If she wants a sexy duet with someone, she needs to do a new song, a better song, that isn't passive aggressive sm with a racketeering convict. It's possible joker may have a sexy duet, or even a sexy solo song, since it's supposed to be a love story, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smother Em Eh 7,003 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I love them all even the Rick Ross version but honestly the original is the best! Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmytimestep 2,488 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I harbor huge resentment towards this song, which single-handedly: 1. got the era massively off-track, due to short sighted a money-grabbing strategy/pivot. 2. Embroiled Gaga in scandal due to R. Smelly. 3. Caused not one but TWO cancelled visuals which we were all thirsty for at the time (the Venus video and the eventual DWUW video which was never released) 4. Replaced as a single and downplayed Venus, one of my favorite Gaga songs of all time, which ironically was also a song that was Gaga had a MAJOR hand in actually producing and building the beat. So, none of the above? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
