Perfect Celebrity sounds soo good, I didn't expect to like the acoustic so much.

And the rolled Rs in Abracadabra are so cute

Part of it is definitely how she places it in the mask, but another part is also the combination of using a nasal twang and lifting her soft palette to round out the forward element of the mask placement with a deeper resonance. She’s such a fckn good singer lmao 

Thank you for knowing the terminology better hahaha I was like I know what she’s doing but don’t really know the exact terms for it. it’s like she puts it in her face but then also opens her mouth enough and specifically enough for the resonance to be way in the back of her throat it’s so cool.

I believe it’s masking? Like she’s putting the vowel way in her face and nose to give it this really hard nasal tone.

Thank you both for being more educated than me! Whatever it is that sound is what made me really fall in love with her voice so hearing it back makes me so happy. I lowkey worried it was a tone she lost as her voice aged. We’re soooooooo ****ing back lol

I don’t have the vocabulary to describe it but there’s this vocal inflection (?) she utilized a lot during Born This Way that I’m hearing in the performance of Abracadabra that’s making me happy. Like when she would sing — Jud—AAs. Also does Abracadabra acoustic kind of sound like something Amy Lee would sing to anyone else? Maybe just me lol

glad amy lee got a mention here!! it's been in my head for days that Perfect Celebrity and 'Everbody's Fool' are two sides of the same coin somehow!

Holy hell that Perfect Celebrity performance is incredible!!! I could take albums and albums of this kind of arrangement from her.

You’re welcome  def not lost it’s 100% a theatrical affectation. I think she amped it up to what we know now as “Dope Vocals” but she def never lost it. I think over the last few years she just got focused on raising the capabilities of her high notes and falsetto so songs tended to focus that way rather than on a tone she was suuuuper comfortable creating. Thank GOD we’re back bc I agree it’s such a fun unique Gaga vocal styling

So she just went ahead and did 4 of the best live performances of her entire career in like 3 days

when will it be on youtube

Once again Lady Freaking Gaga showing a song can be whatever you want, but really is tested if you make an acoustic version and it remains a very good song!

These are incredible! 🖤🖤🖤

Imma need the full interview ASAP 

[The Fame Monster 4,328]

Interesting how she’s tweaked the lyrics in the Abracadabra spell. In both this performance and the ASMR interview, she sings:

Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-oo-gaga
Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na

But in the studio version, the third line goes:

Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na
