MessyTop 14,304 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The Key!!she can’t sign that song live, is such a tricky key, is right on her vocal break. To the regular listener it sounds pushed and not pleasant, nobody liked the sound quality and she refused to sing that song live 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Blvd 948 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Because the song is bad and she should've not let Bloodpop change the original Tame Impala demo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Stardust 75 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I actually really like the song! 🤷🏻♀️ It‘s one of her best. Just because something isn‘t commercially that successful doesn’t meant it‘s a bad song. On the contrary, the charts are not a good indicator of good music. PI is everything but a basic, GP friendly pop song. And that’s its “problem”. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the demo too, but that one felt more Tame Impala ft. Lady Gaga and I think she knew that too. However I do hope for the 10th anniversary it gets a remix EP. It's odd how there was 0 official remixes for PI Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolkins 4,073 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I mean, I feel like the point has already been made but the way Gaga sang that song wasn't particularly pleasant to listen to. Its interesting that PI went from this dreamy, trippy, neo-psychedelic demo which was very current at the time, to this very harsh, loud, in your face song that didnt fit with the musical landscape. Imo Rihanna did a better job taking a Tame Impala song and making it her own with Same Ol Mistakes that year. Not the bore worms! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT 2,652 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Just not that great a song imo. If I listen to Joanne, which I do sometimes, I don't skip it, but it doesn't feature on any of my compillation playlists. Others have made similar points above, it sounds like Gaga is almost competing with the music and the overall effect is overbearing. Having said all that I'm going to shoehorn it into a playlist and see how it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what bothered me the most was the production. It seemed rushed, it lacked "parts", the chorus sounded uninspired... The bridge was practically inaudible. I always thought that the song would benefit a lot if it had more "air", not all so cluttered. Or if the base had some disco elements, maybe along the lines of I want your love (without losing the rock core). Or if it exploited a more eighties vein, like Bon Jovi's Livin on a Prayer (I need a Gaga album in this direction). Having said all that, today I think it's a great track and one of Joanne's best. I do think Diamond Heart would have been a more interesting choice. This + the vocals are annoying af Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
