Future Lovers 5,873 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 When are we as a society going to stop pretending Joanne was a country album rather than a southern rock/blues rock album regardless of the cowboy hat cosplay on the cover 3 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVersace 8,655 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 CC speaks to so many things (race, love, loss, history, childhood, excess, sex) in an authentic way that Joanne failed to. Bey has always been a cowgirl, whereas Gaga put on the hat as a character almost. Joanne has its moments and I completely agree that Ya Ya is A-Yo's grown up, far superior, sister....but CC is that girl 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agunimon 20,864 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Joanne is my favorite Gaga album now - been exclusively listening to it for a few weeks when I listen to Gaga (its always been in my top 3, but now it is 1), but Cowboy Carter is what I deem to be Beyonce's magnum opus and it superior.

It is a pop record that has country influences. Joanne was a pop record with country and Americana influences. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hieronymus 8,864 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) This comparison is laughable, but then again, I'm a storied Joanne hater. 1 hour ago, Railing said: I mean, they're both extremely performative, with a clubby popstar suddenly donning cowboy hats and talking about rodeos and being like "I'm a country singer now" But I liked a lot of Joanne, idk Well... one of them is from someone who grew up in the south, with strong southern heritage... and the other is an "Italian" woman born and raised in NYC so let's not point poser fingers Edited March 29 by hieronymus 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a gimmicky era and that's okay to admit! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah X 5,249 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 10 minutes ago, hieronymus said: and the other is an "Italian" woman born and raised in NYC so let's not point poser fingers ??? You need to listen to more of her interviews? Apparently when she was a little girl, she used to climb to the top of the haystacks at her grandparent's barn and sung dolly parton at the top of her lungs. At the age of 8 she performed Tennessee whiskey on the piano for the first time for the horses & family at a farm gathering. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G U C C I 5,279 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Joanna showed some amazing sides of Gaga vocally and could have been a true country infused album if Bloodpop had not of gotten a hold of some production choices that were made. Sinners Prayer, John Wayne, Joanne (piano version), Million Reasons, Diamond Heart, Dancin in Circles were a good core for her album to be solid and just needed a few other good songs to go with them but it didn’t happen. The album is just half way decent for the vast majority of listeners whether those are the songs you like or the others. Cowboy Carter only compares to Joanne in the sense that it’s only halfway decent. Most songs are good but there are several that could have been left on the cutting floor. Not to mention that it is no way a “country” album. It is also just country infused like Joanne was. Edited March 29 by G U C C I 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too harsh. CC actually made Joanne more enjoyable for me for some reason. It was a joy to listen to every song CC I still think is the better piece of work, but Joanne is paced MUCH better. It aged really really well. I’m very happy right now lmaoo. Also if Joanne had interludes to do a better job of transitioning (like Joanne into John Wayne, or Hey Girl to Angel Down (super jarring)), it would be waaaaay better. Overall, super thankful for this thread. I love Joanne again 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
