Bad Romance is still THAT song

[Monsta217 218]

I personally do not think it is her best song because she has many more that I adore. But, it is, by far, the most "Gaga" song she has. The music, the vocals, the lyrics, the weirdness, the fierceness, the "out there". And the first full taste of what was to come later...

The RahRah is like the chant that gave birth to the beast, to the Monster, to Mother Monster...

I never followed mainstream music, I didnt care, I didnt even know who Gaga was, and I still vividly remember when I heard part of it for the first time, I was in the subway, and someone was playing it on their phone, and I remember my first reaction when I heard that chant... I was like "wtf is that? Wtf is wrong with music nowadays", I can even say I hated it at first... but deep down, I was intrigued and I couldnt get it out of my head... so a few days later I decided to sit down, listen to it in full, listen to more stuff by this weird girl that had this weird deep voice... and here I am, 15 years later, as obsessed as I was back then...

I feel like it needs a little remaster because nowadays it sounds low quality but yeah it's a ****ing masterpiece  one of the most iconic songs of all time and only Gaga could create and sing such a song 

I guess it depends on headphones/speakers because it doesn't sound low quality compared to anything newer honestly. the dolby atmos version doesn't sound as good as the regular version to me though.

I definitely hear that with some other TFM songs tbh, especially Dance in the Dark. Something about it sounds very quiet/mono/radio

This song and album feels out of time. So many hits from 2009-2010 aged like milk. The production on that song is nothing like what was on at the time, and that's what makes it so special. 

I think most hits from the time aged amazingly, unlike hits from 2012-2016 

[Gagaism 11,695]

The thing that gets me the most is to think that such a young woman at age of 23(?) being able to put such great work out there… every detail, from the song to the MV and the performances… only a couple of great GREAT minds would be actually capable do something like that, it’s just not for everyone.

I think DITD being mastered so weirdly influenced the whole Born This Way sound, but it works so much better on that album.

Unpopular opinion but I think overall The Fame Monster singles deserved much better performances. Especially Telephone, oh my god  and I think Alejandro only had one TV perf?

I agree but like, Telephone would be actually impossible thinking about when we look back then, I mean, they NEVER performed it together to this day, which is a shame and iconic at the same time lol 

but anyways, whatever we had was perfectly delivered, especially when it comes to visuals 

[Awrah999 4,304]

I mean it’s one of the greatest songs ever written. 
 

 

I think I played it so much that I actually prefer Judas these days though if I’m honest. And I think Gaga did actually top it with Abracadabra. But it’s still a masterpiece and Gaga’s most iconic song. It’s literally flawless.

Absolutely, it works perfectly on BTW, like dirty electronica 

[Vimo 999]

Also, it's a complex song. There's so many parts to that song you're always on your toes.

Oh oh oh's 

Then rah rah rah's

Verse 1

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Oh oh oh's

Rah rah rah's

Verse 2

Pre chorus 

Chorus

Oh oh oh's

Rah rah rah's 2 times

Bridge one

Bridge two

Explosive Chorus

Oh oh's

Rah rah rah's

A 2 minutes song can't give you that.

it’s still just such an untouchable masterpiece that still really hasn’t been topped. 

Rain On Me & Free Woman says hi

[julz 7,010]

Bad Romance is her Thriller 

Abracadabra is her Rhythm Nation 

....and HBDUWM is her Oops I Did It Again 

 

[princedeeblebleble 1,573]

I'd have to agree it's her most iconic song. She completely changed the pop game with this and 16 years later it still sounds as new, fresh and crazy as it did back in the day! 

Like her mind to kind of finish the fame era with that Paparazzi death preformance to reseruct herself in those coffins in the bathouse wad *chefs kiss* 

[Monstermilo 4,481]

everything about that song EXCEPT the rah rah rah ooh la la part is amazing 

before i didnt mind it, but now the random gibberish lyrics bother me. its like using random noises to make up for a lack of actual lyrics. and in some of her songs i dont mind it, but for some reason on BR its so irritating to me
