GerMonsterNotta 2,089 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 What are your thoughts on the clear melodic reference of Bad Romance in VIY? Both songs appear to centre around love, but in very different ways … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borislshere 53,493 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’d love to see her create some story of mashup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 13,512 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 it's her best musical callback yet. I find the connections between PF - BR - Judas to get increasingly derivative and so while Judas is a great song when you put it next to BR you're like ah ok she kinda re-did it. but VIY is a really beautiful callback in a song that otherwise sounds nothing like BR. It's really beautiful to hear that little melody line reinterpreted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 79,784 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 I think it's just a fun callback. She does a similar melodic run in Garden of Eden too. 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔞𝔴𝔞𝔶 𝔦𝔱𝔰 𝔪𝔞𝔰𝔨 𝔞𝔫𝔡...𝔦𝔱𝔰 𝔣𝔞𝔠𝔢 𝔴𝔞𝔰 𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔢. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2School4Cool 6,463 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 I mean think about the concept of the album and the purpose of the album cover. This idea of piecing together old versions of herself and reflecting on where she comes from lends itself very well to a song that references a previously used melody See The Best In Everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMonster 2,156 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 I don’t think it’s that direct of a correlation. Onomatopoetic sounds is very much a staple of Gaga’s writing style. The repeating of ju-ju-just dance, the muh muh muhs of Poker Face, the Ra-ras of Bad Romance, the ta-ta-take you of Garden of Eden, the Ju-da Ju-da-ahs of Judas. She uses her voice as another instrument more than almost any singer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

27monster27 15,517 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 Am I the only person who noted some similarities to Brooklyn Nights, especially in the chorus? I don't think this is unreasonable after Lady Gaga (more or less) confirmed that Garden of Eden was inspired by Private Audition. I will admit though that I can see some of the Bad Romance inspiration in the vibe. The longer drawn out low notes in the darker verses, then the lighter but still strongly belted chorus. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Browne 2,701 Posted May 14, 2025 Share Posted May 14, 2025 Only because of the similar note structure in the chorus. Otherwise it’s a totally different vibe and sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
