Unpopular Gaga Opinions (The Re-Up: Pt. 2 - the Revenge) [Piano Version]

[A Very Gaga Holida 20,943]

Oh and I’ll say it very honestly:

She sang so much better before Joanne.
 

Every performance used to feel so effortless and yet so technically perfect or almost in the worst case.
 

Since the Bowie tribute, I feel that something has changed in her voice, and not for good. She still has talent obviously and she has a couple moments here and there where her voice really shines (JWT, TCB, last J&P dates) but globally, I think her singing really took a toll. She sometimes struggles to hit high notes, there’s no vibrato, it feels like she’s shouting and most of the time, she can’t growl. Her performances of Disease really showcase that, but basically, most of her performances do especially after the JWT (she could still growl during Joanne.) And sometimes I even think she sounds quite bad. 

 

I still think her 2024 releases are fabulous and I love them with all my heart, I say it every day. But since it’s an unpopular opinions thread…

After all this time the songs she performed at the Swinefest/iTunes festival are still soooo much better than the studio Versions in ARTPOP, especially Aura, Sex dreams and manicure

the hell was she thinking when she changed them?

Chromatica will not stand the test of time like not even in a good throwback manner I fear.

Her technique changed for sure, but she sounded amazing in the Joanne Era and during the CBT. The only live performance of Chromatica at the VMAs was meh. Shallow at the Oscars she struggled a bit as well, but other than that I think she sounds phenomenal. Just the Christmas Carpool Karaoke shows how versatile her voice is still. And yeah, she struggled with the high notes in Disease, but everyone would while sitting. I mean, her live vocals on all DWAS performances were splendid, just like HM at Kimmel

And they don`t nowadays, have to completely agree here. Feels kind of forced, like she feels the need to prove to people that she can sing. We all know, though, everybody knows. Instead of shouting, make your performances captivating and interesting again.
