Bronco 15,855 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I adore both. Probably my favourite track on each respective album. But I'm a monster because of Paparazzi. Like LoveGame & Paparazzi were what got me hooked and Paparazzi is the one song on The Fame I don't think I've ever skipped and that I was desperate to hear live. So yeah. Its Paparazzi every time.

I feel like this list basically says: I like bridges that aren’t really bridges (ones that either reiterate the chorus or a previous section of the song). TBH the only one you’ve listed that I’d say is top tier here is Abra and HML’s is def up there. I’m just kind of baffled by you loving the synth work in JD but disliking some of the best synth work in the song 😭 Edited January 10 by Ladle Ghoulash We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still throws off the groove of the song for me, but without the annoying "half-psychotic, sick hypnotic" blah blah blah lyrics it's tolerable ig The intro/chorus synth of Just Dance is what makes it sparkle for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has gone beyond buttered noodles and has become ordering pizza and peeling the cheese off, sister.

ALGAYDO 33,915 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Paparazzi is obviously way more iconic, but PC is definitely the better song. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s so hard with making comparisons to her earlier work is that so many of her older songs are the blueprint and the springboards that made a lot of her later work possible, so it’s so hard to really accurately compare them. If you asked me which I’d rather listen to rn between Paparazzi and PC, I’d say PC, but I can’t deny that PC likely wouldn’t exist without Paparazzi so like…ugh lmao We have forgotten our public MANNERS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, yes, Judas and Abra wouldn’t exist without BR, but isn’t that the point? BR set the stage for songs like those other two to even come to fruition, it is literally the blueprint to some of her most iconic songs. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them more as being variations on a theme (both sonically and conceptually) than one being a “knockoff” of the other (except GUY, which I do think just feels like a LG reheat, but I see the vision) We have forgotten our public MANNERS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
