The same beat seems to carry throughout his songs, seeming quite monotone. Nothing against Prince at all it just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure Gaga will put her one spin on it. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard someone say abt Prince 🫠 MONTONE?! Not only is he one of the most eclectic vocalists in modern pop, he’s also a versatile multi-instrumentalist Edited March 8 by Ladle Ghoulash 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been here since the beginning and honestly can’t remember a time she verbally acknowledged Janet in particular the way she has MJ, Bowie, Grace jones, etc. Very open to being proven wrong! LOVE Janet so I’d welcome it, I just can’t remember a time she has lmao I mean, you can look up the quote where she talks at length about channeling Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Prince while writing the Born This Way album. And the several interviews during The Fame where she talks about musicianship and appreciation for putting on a pop show with live instruments (and names Prince as one of those key figures), or his emphasis on iconography in pop, etc. And as for Janet, she spoke about her influence a few times during The Fame and Born this Way. You have to remember though, there is a distinct period in Gaga's early career where she just stopped talking about her idols and her influences in music altogether, likely due to unkind comments and backlash. Even going back to Joanne and Chromatica, she rarely name dropped specific artists that influenced the sounds or imagery from those eras, making fans rely on producers or collaborators to try and fill in the gaps and piece the puzzle together. Which, is a shame. I think the last time she actually gushed about her pop idols was right before ARTPOP, and even then, it was not nearly as frequent or in-depth as it was during her first three album cycles.

Not that it all sounds the same but there’s something about a Prince song…you KNOW it’s Prince. He just had such a specific artistry that no matter what he did you knew it was him. Now, if that isn’t your thing it’ll turn you off but if you like it I think you won’t pay it any mind Edited March 8 by Ziggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
