This is what artists like Lady Gaga are up against.  Corporations always seem to want everything in a short, washed out format or formula...

It favors shorter, simpler songs.

Has anyone heard dwas or disease on the radio? Are those different as well? :(

All the times that I heard DWAS, the song was full. I don’t know what stations they were because I take a lot of Uber/Lyft rides. Even the version that they played at the mall was the full version. 
The one time I heard Disease in the radio, it was full.

The way everyone is reacting I was expecting MUCH worse

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

Yeah, at least the cuts are clean. Nothing will ever top Yoü and I and how it sounds like they randomly chopped that thing in audacity :kry:

https://voca.ro/1k4Squw2hltL it's so butchered :bear:

They turned it into a TikTok focused songs that feels like an incomplete thought because of how short it is (and sacrificing interesting parts of the instrumental by proxy). This is bad.

That transition from the second verse to the chorus was so jarring omg

I dont know if the radio edit is different internationally but the radio edit of Abracadabra on Capital in the UK is really bad. I heard it during the week and the heart and soul of the song is completely gone, too much skipping around. Might actually harm the general audiences opinion on the song tbh. I don't know what it is about gaga's songs but all of the best parts of her songs get taken out in the radio edits.

What got removed:
No starting Abracadabras, straight into verse 1
"Feel the beat under your feet the floor's on fire, Abracadabra Abracadabraaaa" is not in the song at all
Second "Hold me in your heart tonight" section gone
Half of the sinful melody is gone

EDIT: Heres what it sounds like, thanks PlastiscGuy

100% agree they butchered it, it skips whole parts I heard it the other day several times

Ok I'm a bit sad about the Feel the beat section :bradley: After the song was released, I remember two of my friends pointed out they loved that bit specifically :bradley:

The last part of ‘sinful melody’ into the last chorus works well though. Gives it a bit of an extra kick

LadyxGaGa

but the feel the beat the floors on fire is what every reaction video has people going crazy for that alone is what hooks people in

Has anyone heard what the edit is like across the United States? I’m wondering what stations are playing the edit versus the full song or maybe even a different edit

Just heard it on German radio station "N-Joy".

The edit was exactly how it was described in the initial post..
That was awful :O
