The first 7 seconds (before she starts making any noise) are exciting, but PI is one of the few songs where I truly want to boo her.

Fans of this song should be kept far-off & fenced-in

Much love to you sis, but won’t be taking this slander from a TC apologist (and re: the key change, at least the key change serves a purpose in PI, as opposed to the key change in FOHL, which only solidifies it as a note for note pastiche of I Wanna Dance With Somebody). But I’ve got the noodles on the stove with some fresh Land O’ Lakes, if you’re hungry 💋

Unlike the PI key change, the FOHL key change- pastiche or not- actually sounds good.

Too much to ask of a song? :ohwell:

Perfect Illusion is a great song. It's aggressive and very relatable.

 

And also...

Some of us prefer the foie gras, others the buttered noodles. I like both, but don’t shame a sister for having a deeper palette

Exactly this :air: 

That guitar intro is a massive serve, and then she goes “oh oh oh oh oh” and I go “:poot::messga::icega::koons::saladga:

Vocals giving "demo-that-should-have-been-scrapped" from beginning to end

Vocals giving person on the cusp of a complete mental break, just as she intended, iktr :vegas:. Genuinely an incredibly impressive and visceral performance.

What's interesting to me about this song is how differently I enjoy it when I listen to it on its own or while playing the Joanne album in full.

When I listen to the album in full, the song sounds AMAZING, perfect high energy rush on the album, but on its own I'm always like "meh, not impressed".

That's the only song from the 1000+ songs in my library that feels like this.

I can see that. I think it’s a rush of pure adrenaline either way, but it’s a great climax/centerpiece on the album fs

Idk maybe it’s the theatre kid in me, but when a song is able to capture a complex emotion and the performer is able to deeply embody that feeling in a way that teeters between control and chaos, I think it’s honestly incredibly impressive 🤷‍♂️
