sometimes to sing notes in a better melodic sense you have to pronounce words with weird emphasis on certain vowels

like in you and i she sings YOU AND AHHHHHH instead of you and EYEEE,,, it makes more sense to sing it like AHHHH

Same with Hold My Hand. She sings the “SO CRYY” as “SUH CRY.” I’ve tested it and yes it’s much easier to sing as suh than so lol

In Born this way, she pronounces "Oriane" like "Orient", it's very weird, why would she add a -t at the end?

The worst for me is that she still didn’t fix how she pronounce “infinite” in BTW video lol

I've made a fool out of myself for way too long because I thought that was the actual pronunciation

In Love Me right, she pronounces "my friend" also very weird or is it just me?

yeah she does, sometimes it sounds to me like she sings "afraid" instead of "my friend"

This is "every" vowel that's been observed in all languages. 

Well. Kinda. Depends on how narrow your transcription is and if you want to make average vowel quality charts in Praat.  It was definitely made by Europeans, as it sucks at showing things like +ATR.

Why are we all suddenly acting like we've just discovered Gaga uses strange pronunciation in her music? 

Or are we all just really bored?

Isn't this just a tongue-n-cheek reference to shrooms tho? Cuz the song is basically about taking party drugs.

Well for years

Want your bad romance 

Sounds more like Wow Jiao Bao Romance

Sometimes we don't have to utter the exact pronunciation while singing so that it can be more rhythmatic and easy to sing. Saying "behind" as "bahind" is more easier while singing since "a" sound comes naturally in neutral position of our open mouth unlike we stress our mouth with "e" but still doesn't make much of a difference. It's the same case with "love" as "lahv" in Perfect Illusion.

I mean, my "every" in quotations is your "Well.Kinda." 😅 Also don't wanna go into Praat, R or matlab
