You're taking it as a criticism 

I love the song including the chorus

Musically it rocks, I guess I mean vocally it's very chill, she's almost talking the chorus

I don't think you realise the sheer amount of vocal gymnastics and techniques going on throughout PC, even if she is singing in a softer tone on the verses. And that growling, angry chorus doesn't sound like talking to me, that kind of thing goes to the likes of 911, not this banger.

I'm fine, Ta

I mean, as a singer, you’re 100% right. The vocals on that song (and the album in general) are insanely impressive, but I also don’t think they were trying to drag it as much as they weren’t describing how they felt about it that precisely lol

I didn't know you're a singer! That's awesome. 

Question for you then purely out of interest, what would you consider to be the top 5 hardest Gaga songs to sing?

The only thing that irks me is EVERYONE says it's straight up an MJ song and me, who has listened to MJ for 30 years now, finds more MJ vibes in other songs from this album :icant: 

It's Smooth Criminal-esque but she has a whole ass Dirty Diana on the same album????

Tbf it’s bc she sings like him, too. The beast also does sound like him 100% but I think it has a few less specific MJ hallmarks—soam has those descending runs, the quick, cutting cadence, harmonies sound similar to his, ad libs, etc. She sings like him on the beast, too, but has a little more of her Meatloaf-y Gagaisms to distinguish it

the beast sounds more an homage the same way black jesus does imo

However

kill for love I think actually sounds the absolute most like his stuff since it damn near cribs thriller’s intro (great song though)

Very true, but you could say that for a lot of her songs

I realise the vocal quality of PC. This is all subjective and about my perception of "exciting". You're still taking it negatively. :poot:

I also wasn't talking about the whole song, as the thread is about her most exciting chorus. The chorus is rocking and vocally it's great but it's more vibey and feels almost laid back vocally (even if it isn't...) When I think of most exciting I'd probably choose something anthemic with intense, uplifting vocals like TEOG, VIY, Hair etc. again, it's not a criticism. It's the intentional style of the song to not be like that and it's probably in my top 15.

I do find the song exciting.

Again it's subjective, so I'm going to leave it there :laughga:

I mean...why else would Gaga have teased it at the end of the Chromatica Ball film? I believe the era was intended to start not long after but things changed and Disease was chosen instead and well...

Bc she wanted to tease new music coming without revealing any potential singles tbh

the era was designed to start around joker. No way no how was it any other way given how orchestrated that was. It was super clear they wanted that movie to be the big buzzy springboard for her new era and instead it nearly tanked it so thank god the music was good lmfao
