The way everyone is reacting I was expecting MUCH worse

The full song is obviously better but I’ve heard worse radio edits 

it's missing the floor fire part :messga: and the biggest crime, they reduced the bridge :flippy:

The melody that you choose can rescue you

I actually before knowing this thought taking away the first eletroclash/Abracadabra would help not scare the GP.

And yeah, song is too long these days in terms of younger audience/pop, and not Adult Contemporary Pop which like long songs, like DWAS.

But they really should have left "Lady in red" part :(

Here’s the thing, this radio mix is UNDER 2:30. Add another 30 seconds (feel the beat under your feet, sinful melody) and it would fit for radio and the song will flow much better

This is the biggest sin for me, the other parts of the song are at least showcased once. Feel the beat under your feet the floors on fire is imo one of the strongest parts of the song. I wish there were more lines like it in that vocal style.

I heard Disease at a thrift store a few months ago and it was the full song

I’m offended on behalf of the “feel the beat” bit, but honestly? I don’t mind this because it serves its purpose: promoting Gaga and the song so people can stream it/buy it/buy the album.

So again, Capital has a radio edit that sounds like this...


Its been months since i've heard the Capital disease radio edit but from what I remember the intro was cut, it went straight into verse 1. The piano breakdown completely removed and in place it was very poorly edited into the very last high note of the song. Again the best part of the song cut, general public not hearing some of her best vocals. I really don't understand why this specifically happens to gaga. The rest of the top 40 isn't getting this treatment

as long as the first "hold me in" part and first post chorus "abra cadabra abra cadabra" is there it's all good :giveup: ii thought you meant none of the "hold me in your" part was there at all, catchiest section :air:

its not specific to gaga, its a long song :air: songs are usually sped up or cut off unless they have a radio edit#

capital and heart play it multiple times a day anyway so theres nothing to worry about

It sounds as if someone haphazardly split it up in Audacity :triggered: it's all over the place and uneven. They did her so dirty with this

Honestly that sounds totally fine compared to many older radio edits like MTN and TEOG :oops:

On Kiss FM it is even worse, they have cut the same parts out, but are playing it so fast it sounds like Alvin and the chipmunks. 🙄

I don't remember which station it was but I've heard sped up versions of bloody mary play on the radio, and it wasn't pleasant lol.
