stevana229 1,897 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago I agree... Abra follows the exact same structure as Bad Romance but is just way more modern. Abra is her strongest, radio friendly, most hard hitting pop song she's released Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheARTPOPball 925 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Bad romance captured a brilliant youthful sentiment in Gaga that will never be able to be replicated. And that’s fine, the song is arguably one of if not the best pop songs ever written and has reached many people who weren’t even born when it came out. It will serve as a time capsule in the decades to come of the potential of pure pop and will remain a blueprint for writers and musicians alike for a millennium. It transcended any boundary music had and created a truly timeless track that I still believe whole heartedly, would be just as impactful if released today, or in 20 years. It’s just that good.

MountainMonster 1,119 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago It’s very good. We all know that. On a personal preference, I almost never listen to BR. But I feel like that’s perhaps just because I beat that song into the ground over the years, playing it so many times. And Abra is my current number one. But I always feel like my favorite Gaga record is whatever the latest one is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charts are also very random sometimes and can be manipulated. Britney’s Toxic and Slave 4 U weren’t even Top 10 and they’re some of her most iconic singles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra is her strongest, radio friendly, most hard hitting pop song she's released Uhhhh that would be Die With a Smile and I don’t even like her like that lol OT: personally I think BR takes it. It was a moment. Abra is a big hit. Big difference imo. I mean, both are impressive but I think BR captures its moment of music and culture so well people (including Gaga) were chasing its impact for years after. Idk if we can say the same of Abracadabra Edited 9 hours ago by Ziggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Romance was world stopping we know, but it was genuinely just a different era. Sonically, Abracadabra takes everything Bad Romance debuted, emphasizes it, and goes extremely above and beyond. The instrumentals, the classic Gaga sound, and the heavenly vocals all morph Abracadabra into arguably her best, most Gaga song ever. Abracadabra is excellent, but no. Love it or hate it Bad Romance still remains Gaga's best song. I'm fine, Ta 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PornoDanceFight 340 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Taste is subjective, and there’s a lot of it missing here! lol jk Abra doesn’t hold a matchstick to BR. Abra is one of her best bangers, but the verse lyrics border on trite platitudes. Abra’s chorus, while fun, exhilarating, and campy, does less with the nonsense lyricism than BR does. BR’s verses are overflowing with metaphors, imagery, and themes that make it iconoclastic not just for pop music, but Gaga’s music in general. I will die on the hill that the Hitch**** references in the second verse are some of the most clever and provocative pop lyrics in the past 20 years, and they again further the themes of the song and TFM as a whole. The deconstructed “rah rahs” are also more thematically resonant to BR (being the word “romance” but deconstructed), while the “amor-ooh-nana/morta-ooh-gaga” in Abra is deliberately campy and connects to the idea of speaking in tongues, but stops there. Furthermore, BR is more avant garde in production, composition, lyrics, and thematic content. The “razor” synths in the verses emphasize the sense of danger this bad romance possesses. The Hitch**** references are clever, tongue-in-cheek, obsessive, disturbing, and ****ographic. The bridge is C*NT personified. Remixing the chorus in French also gives it more of an avant garde edge. Besides being her most definitive work, BR also sets the ethos for Gaga’s feminist messaging in future songs with “I’m a free bitch, baby,” which also makes BR somewhat of a feminist manifesto. It also goes without saying that without JD, PF, and BR = no Judas, Scheiße, or Abra. All in all, I love Abracadabra, but Bad Romance has and always will remain the better song AND her best song. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
