Fun Tonight is the best song on Chromatica

Alice is the worst song on Chromatica and I don’t understand what people like about it 

Garden of Eden is good but it’s in the bottom half of Mayhem 

Applause is one of the bottom five songs on ARTPOP

The Telephone music video is not one of her best (I don’t care if it’s iconic, she has at least a dozen better videos). 

You and I is the best video from Born This Way

Eh, Eh is actually really cute, including the video

 

Disagree with basically all of this except the last one, always loved Eh Eh.

She doesn't have a really good, strong 10\10 collab song despite all the collabga accusations lol. Also female collaborations are overrated.

[Bronco 27,147]

She needs to start having support acts on tour again. 

Someone who sets out to support  newer women in the industry not giving them a platform at a time when smaller venues are dying isn't doing everything in her power.

[Magneto 13,571]

She isn't always the creative mind behind every song like I used to think she was and there's definitely some songs in her discography that we're already quite far in the creation process before she got them. This is also perfectly normal in the industry and not a problem at all, but I definitely overestimated her songwriting abilities when I was younger even though they're still great!

Mayhem is basic and uninspired in the second half of the album.

I don’t think she’s a good actress, she is pretty average.

I don’t think she will ever top TFM.

Okay on lighter themes, DWAS is a really great gp spong! I don't get yhe hate .

Also Harlequin as a collection of Jazz standards is more Gaga and better produced than all of Joanne. 

I'm kinda tired of the lack of support to female creatives, closest she's kinda came to it was on Dawn of Chromatica, but I kinda can't say it counts since that was more of Bloodpops doing.. like she has the power to chose and work with any possible female musician,producer, film maker snd artist, but always choses the most basic mainstream men. Also in terms of  opening acts she could give space for up and coming artists.

The other thing is kind of her everyday relationship to fans. Sorry but it doesn't take much to make a story celebrating pride. It doesn't take much effort to wish people happy holidays, posting stories mainly when she's trying to sell something is so cringe. Even during most of the Mayhem era it was kinda dead until the day of release of whatever it was. Yeah yea, social media is **** and whatever, but as a public figure whp kind of almost cannot exist without the fandom she's shooting her own foot with her attitude.

But most of all her silence on basically all the heavy political things happening. It took an award show to speak about Ice and 0 talk about the atrocious **** happening to palestine. Also such minimal talk about Trans and LGBT rights being in jeapordy, but glad she has time to post about her businessess, especially the one backed up by basically N*zis. 

Like she's a fantastic musician and artist, but I miss the time when she was more outspoken. Defo a shame its a thing she skipped from Madonnas playbook.

I’m glad I could offer so many unpopular opinions ☺️

Enigma is not as good as everyone trying to make it be.. the song is going nowhere, chorus is boring 

this, anyone saying it was a "TCB highlight" deserves a voucher for free eye and ear deep-cleaning. I don't think it should be necessarily cut from the show, but it begs for a different staging. The way she sings "I'll be your enigma" x20 times while headbanging and being out of breath is far from a highlight, an insult to an overall good Gaga show. not to mention that weak ass drop

That is Lady Gaga

but....

who in the dripping hell is this?

It’s lowkey sad how the director Francis Lawrence, tried to erase her signature roman nose on this sequence... It’s too blatant.

She looks like Xtina here ?? 

Same for Joanne's album cover :

I know that an angle can change our perception. We still see a glimpse of her bump, but it seems a little bit edited imo.

I took a "character dig" at both of us

You took it at “both of us” by making the most bitingly specific parts about me and then limply co-signing it as “something we both do” to deflect criticism from taking a pot shot while I was trying to clarify the dynamic. The entire framework of how you talked about this assumes very little accountability (aside from handwavey overtures to “us both being that way”) and explicitly offloads the bulk of it onto your perceiving me as being mercurial.
 

I think it’s pretty understandable why that rubbed me the wrong way and not totally sure why you’re doubling down on it. Genuinely not interested in continuing this conversation atp.

It's not an opinion but the chorus of So Happy I Could Die sounds like the verses of Pocketful of Sunshine, released in 2008

[Julien Lockhart 849]

- ARTPOP is overrated in the fanbase

- Dope is her worst balade 

- Hey Girl is a good song 

- Her songwriting is not that good on Chromatica and Mayhem

- She needs to have some backings singers like the Monster Ball 

- She's one of the greatest artist of all time 

- Joanne is a very good album and will age like fine wine 

- Harlequin is her best jazz album 

- Happy Mistakes is her best balade 

- She's one of the most beautiful woman I've seen and she has the more powerful aura in all the pop stars

Sorry I have to make this inappropriate joke right now, but...

If @NUTELLA had 1 coin for every "vamos cerrando el papoi"-adjacent

()

received on this thread, he would have 2 coins, which isn't a lot but it's funny that it happened twice

Examples and proof of this?
