“Hair” audio quality

This might be something that literally only bothers me, but I’m curious to know if anyone else notices this too.

The audio of Hair is different on Apple Music and YouTube. That doesn’t really matter for the most part, however, one vocal take changes the whole song for me. 
On Apple Music the chorus shows less emotion, especially in the line “I’ll die living just as free as my hair”. I always opt to listen to the YouTube version, it just sounds better to me. I don’t know if this was a conscious decision by Gaga or the label (changing the production slightly since the release in 2011) but whatever the reason is, the original audio that was published in 2011 sounds leaps and bounds better. It actually makes it one of my favourites in her entire discography 

Am I insane or has anyone else noticed?

Isn't that the Apple Music spacial/dolby audio? Honestly I hate that feature. People say omg it sounds soo much better you can hear every vocal layer, but imo it just messes with the mix and pushes random audio layers to the front which aren't supposed to be the dominant sound. I haven't hear a single song that sounds better that way to me

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Spatial/Dolby, I couldn't listen to Poker Face on AM because of it, especially in the car lol

Most of the time I actually really like the sound quality on Apple Music but there’s just something about hair that I don’t like there. It’s the same on Amazon Music. I guess Hair just works better without Dolby audio
