TDD: Nostalgia Running Thin?

[Mr S 8,697]

It was an obvious attempt to go viral like Bloody Mary. Unfortunately the GP saw right through it. 

 

That's the thing with Gaga. She will have her hits but she also has many misses.

yesterday I came across a video making fun of TDD's choreo and its attempt to go viral, I was so mad lol. I dare say whatever success was tried to be milked from Bloody Mary's resurgence, has been achieved with Abracadabra already

It’s sad to see but I get it, it was pretty obvious that they were trying to create another BM moment so I understand people being turned off with that approach  i usually feel the same way when other people do it too

i think if people are trying to “create” the viral tiktok dance trend with their song, then it’s a bit forced and desperate

TDD is a just song that embodies the opportunity to bring Wednesday S02, Tim Burton, and Gaga together on a joint project. You guys are reaching way too far.

Some of y’all not ready for the masterpiece that is Mayhem. She truly gave us her best, strongest and most brilliant album since Born This Way and as someone who has been a fan since Just Dance and Poker Face, makes me really happy to hear that spark back in her again.

Mayhem ain't even my favourite album by GaGa, but like still it's a solid body of work with pop, electronic, industrial, disco, grunge, funk, grass etc.

Why does it feel like the "people" are the fans because that's all been seeing tbh.

People are acting like it's the worst song to ever exist and as if it completely flopped yet when you look at her daily streams it's the second highest of her entire discography at 1.7 mil and the video is also getting a million daily views. It's okay to not like the song but yall doing way too much.

Song and video are fun, they're both performing perfectly fine, GP enjoys it, and mayhem is still an incredible album.

thaaaat's what I was afraid of, how obvious it was that this song/video was strategized to be a ~viral tiktok~ moment

like, part of the reason the video is so uninteresting (in my opinion) is because of the long extended shots of clear choreography so that folks at home with a smartphone can try to copy it. to me it feels like it's a dance instructional video 

 

it's like with cult films - you can't MAKE a cult film, it's the audience that makes it a cult film. same applies for viral moments

how other songs from the album could be good singles

GoE says hi. She is the hit that never was, imo 

[nATAH 50,533]

i'm still firmly in the camp that zombieboy would have been a better (and more authentic) choice for this wednesday project

probably wouldn't have been a hit but at least it wouldn't have the awkward feeling of created for the gimmick and the song is just miles stronger

More authentic how? TDD, just like Zombieboy was done during the mayhem sessions.

because it would still feel like i'm listening to a song from mayhem rather than a single released post-mayhem and then thrown on (and would probably have better choreography)

But you're listening from a song from MAYHEM, TDD was done alongside all the others before any netflix deals.

Calling zombieboy more authentic feels weird ngl, almost an insult to her work.

girl it doesn't matter when it as made, the fact that one of the biggest criticisms is that it feels like an attempt to bloody mary 2.0 is very telling

it's only a song from mayhem because it was added AFTER release... it wouldn't feel like that if zombieboy was used instead because it already existed on the OG tracklist... i think you know that makes sense

i don't trust this fanbase criticisms lol 

And I mean, TDD was always and will always be a Mayhem song, doesn't matter if it dropped after or before release, we don't even know if it was supposed to be in the original tracklist before the Netflix deal.
