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.

Yeah this fanbase is so messy, even tho u didnt like it at first i wouldnt be making threads like these and insult gaga every chance i got

like… thank god the gp loves her again because lms aint carrying sht

WTF is MDNA

Release a song called The Dead Dance with a Genocide on going... 

It's bad taste for me. I don't even want to hear the song and I can totally understand why a lot of people just don't want to hear that lyrics.

I hope TDD flopping (compared to abra and dwas) leads her to let go of the disco sound. Mama im satiated, you've proven that any genre you touch will result in a bop, now don't overdo it pls :sis:

The genre isn’t the problem though, TDD is just a bad song and it doesn’t do disco music justice. Imagine if it was recorded in the style of Chic or something :sue:

My post was exactly about genre tho lol. I like TDD I just think if she does even more of that type of disco it's gonna fall flat.

DO THE DEAD DANCE 💜

As someone said before here, I feel like most of you are reaching. 
For me seems like them whoever from Netflix approached her because of BM virals obviously, then they’d be like “well, do you happen to have anything for us?”, she’d be like “well yea honey, I got this one right here and you can use if you want”

Then after that they’ll be like “alright, let’s have some fun with it and I’ll also give you a couple seconds on the screen, how does that sound?”

and that was it imo lol

Yeah like it really is not that deep and the overly negative reactions are extra. Not to mention projecting their disdain for the song onto others 😭 Like no some of us just simply like it.

If the song were on MAYHEM at launch people would not be nearly so harsh on it. I think it's a combination of they wanted a different single from mayhem, and they expected the song to be an Abracadabra level smash hit. 

👹 Dance or die.

Dare I even say I think TDD (as well as the bonus songs) being included elevates Mayhem as an album even further. It fits perfectly between Zombieboy and LoveDrug, sonically and thematically.

It was not the nostalgia of abracadabra that won me over. In fact, when first seeing the video, i thought certain shots were too reminiscent of Alejandro and Born this Way. 
 

For me it was simply the music. Looking back on a thread here many months back (or possibly a reddit post) where everyone was discussing why 143 was supposed to be Katy’s comeback album and why it was underperforming, i remember commenting that she still has her Pop Star abilities, and the concept and theming down as well. She just needs to make better music. And i think that applies to a LOT of pop stars these days. And the in the case of Abracadabra, gaga just made better music

Abracadabra did not reheat Judas' nachos. Judas did that with Bad Romance. It's very obvious with the songs structures and hooks. I'm not saying that as a bad thing. 

Abracadabra took some of the appeal of what drew listeners to Bad Romance and Judas - the almost nonsensical hooks - and really played it up with that being the entire intro, chorus and post chorus. Instrumental wise, Abracadabra is very different from Judas and Bad Romance

Yeah it’s reminiscent in maybe intensity but you can’t eat your own nachos that’s just called your own style which is the point of mayhem lol abracadabra sounds like ABBA and Cher imo—neither unfamiliar to Gaga but not Bad Romance Judas adjacent either. I’d actually argue it being reminiscent of but so different from those two is what made people pay attention. It’s Gaga owning her style but not repeating herself quite which imo was a little bit of Judas next to BR even if it’s great

The issue with TDD is it is essentially trying to make lightning strike twice. 

As a marketing stunt, it's heavy handed. And naturally the internet has rejected it like internet virality often does.
