Ziggy 13,970 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Seeing these laid out, she has some hokey lead lyrics It's Bad Romance then Just Dance. BR has particular style and also cleverness and a unique pov. It reads chic. Plus hook after hook. Just Dance is similar just to a lesser degree of specific style. Then BTW, then PI, then the remainders are all shades of the same kinda hokey lyricism imo. Fun songs, though <3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquil 155 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I would love to vote for Born This Way but the word "chola" was a literal wtf moment, and not in a good way 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingSun 1,315 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) While appreciating the Bad Romance lyricism (slay naughty Gaga), I must say Born This Way not only conveys an important message, but does so while combining Gagas own personal experiences with a direct approach of talking to the listener, making the lyrics sound genuine and uplifting. Not to mention the importance these words still hold in today's backwards world. Only the 'orient' part really didn't age all too well, but that's just part of societal changes. Regarding lyrics of Applause... Maybe its because I am not a native English speaker but... Um... They sound terribly cheesy and awkward to me Like she tried to be extremely artsy, eloquent and smug, but ended up sounding like a toddler spewing random words they think are 'high class' Edited July 10 by SleepingSun One second I'm a troll, then suddenly the troll is me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophelia 5,414 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Gaga is the king of making music&lyrics sound like timeless runway fashion, no one else has done it so well. Bad Romance. Just Dance has way too little votes tho! The way she’s put „Roses” „thorns” and „hosed” in a verse without making it rhyme in a typical way, yet sounding very smooth and cohesive. v pleasing to my ears ...has anybody seen my disco stick? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladle Ghoulash 52,062 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 8 hours ago, bxr said: Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents I know we’ve discussed it, but that lyric is just the corniest, clunkiest strawman version of a Gaga hater lmao. No one ever said “Gaga’s too nostalgic!” And then following that with “I’m just more well-read/educated” is even lamer, imo. If you’re going to engage haters in a front facing way, at least be honest about what people are saying about you and go for the jugular. Most of the the dunks she gets in on Applause are not only clunky, but the supposed “payoff” is usually completely unearned. That being said, I actually love the vocal affectation, the musical fusion of a new wave sensibility and classic eurodance, and the music video is stellar. But the lyrics to the verses really don’t do it for me lol. We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
