This is a work in progress, but I'm ready to share it for feedback. I've been wanting to write a poem about Gaga for a while now, and it's proven quite difficult, as I keep encountering writer's block. Despite this, I wrote quite a bit, it's just not up to par with some of my other work. Currently I have the poem in four thematic sections, describing in order Gaga's journey, our love of her, and a closing epilogue of sorts. Let me know what you all think. "She howled at the stage she'd stood upon A horror for the thousands gathered before She must have wondered in that agony Felled by her self-crafted infamy "Is this the world I was destined for?" Having taken that road to nowhere I can only imagine the pain she felt Had her own heels propelled her Or had a monstrous storm hurled her To the stage where she now knelt? |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| This city keeps no secrets Every insult slung finds someone to hit And I'm sure she'd assumed that with the glamour and glitz She could escape it, that nothing could hurt her For years she rode that high of fame and cocaine Every mockery met a provocation Made of flesh and glitter, crystal and flame Built to withstand those abominations But as sleepless weeks became months and then years She could no longer be at the end of the day Who she needed to be for herself And with all she stood for that fateful night? Thousands pouring their souls out into the lights Erupting from towertops and flesh motorbikes It split her in two For she could no longer stand Alone on the love from millions of fans Who - in the end - don't know her For the mortal, short statured woman she is The community is only growing older Bonds are unwinding Passions are extinguishing And that sense of belonging I needed as a child That I still crave now Is harder and harder to find But it's still out there... |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| It lives in this city Where she made her claim to fame And built her name on every streetlight here Where her brood would gather when they had nothing else To guide them through but their deepest fears Millions of screams filling that void If just for that moment Pouring their hearts out Surrendering life, if just for that night It lives inside of her And for as long as she's here Nothing can vanquish that light And though it pains me to say that all bones enfeeble All voices lose power That we will all have our hour I find solace in knowing I have spent that time well It lives in the memory of those that we lost Can you see them? Ordered stars in the nighttime sky They sing with us as they should have They win the battles they fought so dearly It's so easy to reach out and nearly hold them If only we could just Go Back |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Constant driver of our love Though I've never met you You are the first I turn to In visions of rapture And in moments of truth When I forget what I'm after When I'm bound by my youth When my world's at its weakest And I cannot move But to play your music You wondrous muse Sing and I will move Sing and we will move Sing and the world will move

We were all so much younger in 2024 lmao. I vividly remember driving around blasting this, Supergraphic Ultra Modern Girl, Von Dutch, and ANGEL OF MY DREAMS and having an absolute kii.

So… none of them??

A decade ago, this would have been an interesting question. Now? Who cares? Rihanna has the better voice, but I think it's a tie. They both had inescapable hits in the early 2010s. But one is inactive & the other is floundering. That kind of evens it out

This is totally random but, a few days ago I held a party at home and I was having fun with Spotify’s kinda new automix function. I had Rock That Body mixing into the A-BRACA-DABRA-ABRA-CADAAAAAA-BRUUUHHH, very cool. However, even before the automix part kicked in, I could head some random “DABRA” here and there at the end of the song, so I was like “oh wow this automix function is truly a good auto mixing software”. All fun until I realized it wasn’t the automix kicking in when I changed the order of these songs. So this sound is in the song. So now that I heard it I can’t unhear it and again this is totally random but I think this is perfect illusion fart easter egg level Here’s a link with the right timing where it’s clear to hear it. Once you hear it, it’s hearable throughout the song in different spots. It goes like this: I wanna, I wanna rock right now I wanna, I wanna rock, DABRAH, I wanna, I wanna rock

I didn't live through the era The only thing I experienced from the BTW era in real time was my gay friend with a crazy lisp coming to school one day depressed af 'cause Gaga canthelled his thow

The ACTUAL official music video: I've seen this almost as many times as I've heard the song. Sooooo f*cking good lmao

No pop song sounds as busy (no pun intended) as Telephone Only metal songs do that By the way, here’s the best quality you’ll ever hear: Also, it’s surprising how completely different Telephone sounds in comparison to the other Gaga + DarkChild tracks. They’re all about being really soft and clean and then there’s Telephone.

p.s i love these songs, they remind me of the bluetooth days

Nothing in pop music that sounds like The Fame Monster will ever sound as good as The Fame Monster. It's that classic

I’d say at least Rihanna still has her reputation/legacy largely intact. But that being said: I basically agree that both, imo, are basically hasbeens and, tbh, are artists I never found particularly interesting

Sometimes I get so obsessed with Telephone that I look for songs like it but there are none with that type of sound and energy I looked for songs produced by Darkchild who produced Telephone but his early 2000's stuff doesn't sound anything like it and his stuff of the time doesn't come close as much, some of the Nelly Furtado's album that he produced in 2012 get a bit close but not much from all the sounds other pop stars copied from Gaga, Telephone is not one of them, there are no copies of it Do you know some?

The joker is you

I think about this all the time! I have been a Stan for so long I know I’m biased, but it oddly goes both ways. Like sometimes I acknowledge I’m sort of glazing her but at other times it feels like I’m being overly critical or hyper vigilant to the point of not being able to enjoy a performance in the moment because I’m thinking about how it will be perceived by wider audiences. In a weird way I almost think I would like some of her stuff more if I weren’t so analytical about it

That url...

Really cool album. Works best as a body of work, imo. I love how she balances a very wistful pop sensibility with slice of life, confessional, stream of consciousness lyricism and some heavy synth lines and distorted guitars. The Cronenberg monologue at the end really puts a nice pin on the record as something of a thesis statement: reckoning with the tension between life and art, artifice and authenticity, ephemerality and permanence, and youth and aging. Right on

Welp time to go commit gay ritual self-sacrifice I don't pay much attention to magazine shoots I'm so sorry Godga But the leak is still AI

Girl the image is NOT AI, it’s from her ELLE Mag shoot https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a63541601/lady-gaga-trump/

I always thought videophone is an electronic hiphop version of telephone

it's actually quite an interesting argument they both have very distinct voice but sometimes may struggle in live performance i've never seen Katy Perry but when i saw rihanna in like 2013 i believe on fathers day, she sounded great

i truly thought this bop would be the comeback of Kesha to the mainstream it was so addictive full of energy dancey hot song I honestly don't know what's going on with the people that didn't click with it the MV was so good for her tight budget, I still need a A-list Pop MV with unlimited budget to make a proper car persecussion. I magine all the pop girlies like those mario Kart edits with them, Ariana you are the last one who can pull this off

Wait this is a bop! I honestly never heard it before lol

They’re both good puppets. Neither of them are vocalists, Jfc… they both get good teams to create aesthetics for them. None of them could write a hit album by themselves, they need songwriters to do it for them. katy def has better stage presence imo, actually, but Rihanna consistently has better music. Overall I’d have to say I like Rihanna better as she has the better music, imo.. but neither have a one in a million type of talent or personality..

This song will forever be a permanent addition to my daily playlist. A real example of a 'cunty' song. She really did that.

One thing that you gotta know is that Kesha is always gonna DELIVER A BOP!

What was awkward about that? Lmao. He was using it as a rhetorical framing device to ask about how an artist brings something into being that didn’t exist before. Was genuinely stunned by the people who thought he was being shady, tbh.

Is that the one with the awkward "the song Abracadabra didn't exist for thousands of years" bit?

https://pixeldrain.com/l/dhwDzcZG hi yall, permanent file drive!!

I still feel this way when I listen to pre-ARTOP stuff 'cause I was just a casual fan back then. Didn't even keep up with her until Applause dropped and Swinefest won me over hard. I still don't really feel totally connected to anything from TF, TFM, or BTW

oh that's an interesting question! I honestly would like to know how I would react to her music as a non-fan.. I think I would appreciate her voice and her singing techniques, but maybe some songs would be either too noisy or too experimental? which for a fan not at all, but for a non-fan, a song like Schibeh would be very experimental.. Like I see it with my husband, he loves Gaga but not a a die hard fan, he knows the deepcuts through me, but he's more strict with his likes and dislikes, so he would skip if SL would come up on the radio or a playlist.. but I won't, I would bop to it, regardless of my opinions about the song.

This song deserved to be a bigger comeback hit for her...

Y’all are way too hard on Rihanna’s voice. She might not be a huge vocalist but when she puts her mind to it, she delivers phenomenal vocal performances. Also, technique is overrated tbh. Xtina is a master at singing technique and yet she always sound horrible. By the way, I think Russian Roulette and The One That Got Away are two of the best pop recordings in history. They deserved so much more than, let’s say, We Found Love and California Gurl

I think Katy always enjoyed being a pop star more than Rihanna, and that was very evident in her early work rihanna has the better voice Katy has the better productions their discographies are kind of equal for me, both have great songs and some fillers I think Katy had the more iconic imagery rihanna had the more iconic fashion id say they were both products of their time. I think Rihanna’s next album will be hyped and do well just because of her long hiatus I think if Katy’s next album is good it will still do bad chart wise. Thats all I really got on either of them.

I mean... one of them is still releasing music yet she fails to even chart on Hot 100 The other one has not released an album in 10 years yet people only keep streaming her music more and more So I think the answer is obvious

im tired of lying to myself. i need him bad. i just know he stinks and ****s you bad but i still want it

Such an interesting album. To me this feels like one of the most PC Music sounding records she has made lyrically, like a stream of consciousness, rhyming doesn't matter, repetitive etc. The sound is pure 00s sleaze, I love how each song explores a subject quickly but if you look at the lyrics there is quite a lot of depth (aside from yeah). This will turn off a lot of fans of Brat, and traditional pop music fans probably wont like it, general music fans will have more luck with it I think, and the GP will absolutely not enjoy it. The last couple minutes of the final song gave me chills and the whole thing is food for thought. It's just so nice to hear a mainstream artist who is clearly inspired make something they want to make without worrying as much about how it will be perceived or what is currently popping off sound wise. 9/10 for me

Now LGN has posted it I’m inclined to believe it. I’ve seen some Beyoncé fans online have been saying that for the anniversary of BDay she’s rumoured to have re-recorded the whole album with a more evolved sound and has new unreleased songs and features. So this would track.
