I'm sure Gaga would love taking music lessons with you as you are such a great and talented songrwiter and composer. You really should send her team some tips 

You don't have to be a talented songwriter or composer to make the assessment I have, whether you disagree with it or not. Though the fact you've chosen to mock me, instead of dispelling what I've said, says a lot. 

Gaga's songwriting is the best it's been for a long time precisely because she's been writing from an authentic space, so it's disappointing TDD is so inauthentic and goes against that shift.

fr that remark was so snarky as if no one dismantles songs like this and looks at theme through a diff lens

I think the user is just offended that I - as a fan - think the song is inauthentic. I don't know why my opinion matters so much to them that it needs to be mocked or belittled... but I'll take it as a compliment, I guess!

Well just re-read yourself, you sounded just like you were telling her to sit down and listen. 

Not mocking you, but you sounded like this honestly. Not the only one here thinking this.

OK I COULDNT HELP MYSELF BUT THIS SONG IS A HIT

I enjoy the song overall BUT I really dislike the inauthenticity of this. It's quite disheartening to think that LADY GAGA would title a song and wedge in lyrics purely to create a TikTok challenge. "Do the dead dance" is just extremely forced and "The Dead Dance" isn't even an organic title for the song - that lyric was clearly just added to the 'bridge' to give the song a challenge-friendly title and 'instruction'. 

I like the trance-like, more haunting vocals and production in the verses but the chorus becomes very screechy and not as easy on the ear, especially towards the end. 

I think if you're going to write something inauthentic and INTEND for it to be a 'mass appeal' hit, at least make it more approachable and listenable (to non-fans). The screeching vocals kill the replay value, and the "do the dead dance" in the bridge is too kids bop. I think the song would've achieved its purpose (of being a replayable hit) much more if she dialled back the vocals a bit, wrote a stronger bridge and re-titled the song "Until I'm Dead", the lyric that is sung twenty times versus the seven mentions of "The Dead Dance". 

I also struggle to see how Bloody Mary going viral could inspire this. That song is a true ear worm you want to hear again (partly because of the slower, less screechy delivery), whereas the hooks in this song aren't natural or intriguing - they're just heavy-handed. 

Jesus Christ.

You're reacting as though I've posted some hateful opinion of the song. I've just tried to expand on the view that I think a lot of others are also expressing (that the song is forced and inauthentic).

I mean, I love it. I think this’ll be better once we see the dance with it.

But you know what...the fact that most of y'all aren't feeling the song means it's gonna be a hit

Exactly 

[VasilisVas 5,200]

I like the song, but I don’t love it. Not yet, at least. 

[FFXIV WhiteMage 5,945]

It’s a BOP. 

Not a unique song like BM since it’s made for Wednesday so it’s simpler and easier to digest. Hopefully it’s a success to the geepee.
