It's such a crime that we still don't have an official release of this and most likely never will, since the instrumental was sold I swear it would be one of my most listened tracks ever if the ARTPOP Ball version ever got to streaming. So what version of PARTYNAUSEOUS are you guys listening to? For me it's between recordings from my Amsterdam show and a fanmade version on Spotify.

I was gonna drag their streams but Akon does 10M / day and Ne-Yo does 8M / day. Not bad for 2000’s throwback acts OT: Just Dance immortal hit

JUST👏🏼 DANCE👏🏼 IMMORTAL👏🏼 HIT👏🏼 The best song The Fame will live forever

Her Fenty Beauty tour is definitely coming for that top10 of highest grossing tours ever

10/10: No Notes—this dialogue … the living discourse of it all, you two The approach that the significance of her artistic identity or creative orientation shifts in accord with the stylization is, just wow … and GAGA, I hadn’t thought about, but the first time I remember that stylization feeling intentional, in that creative identification way, was the Alejandro video, with the GAGA / KLEIN / ALEJANDRO … and in context of the various iterations you all explore, that video in particular felt like a moment of dominion or capital nomination claimed The other iteration / interpretation that springs to mind is music theory / notation … G, A are the first two notes of the G Major scale (A, G are the first and last notes of the A Minor scale) … I think she got the G, A, G, A music notation tattoo for Chromatica (?) … but that subplot association also felt like an element of the etymological identity

Oh Michael Polanski, don't make that face, we know you've been buying a bot army for DWAS

That part of the show is legitimately among my favorite concert memories That song unlocked some primal joy in my soul

well the movie ain't even out yet so

This was expected tbh. Now where's the guy who was trashtalking Madonna for her chart position last week, when 1 week later, Gaga is at the same spot

Didn’t he discuss how he needed to drop Gaga because she was going to fade fast Now look at him: joint concert with another 2000’s throwback, hopping around on stage to Gaga’s hit song, while she just completed one of the highest grossing tours of all time. We truly HAVE to laugh

hook me up with ya cuzz, Patti...

At least not while they make eye contact

Gonna think about this forever. We belong together and some stories have no end, indeed

What ever happened to her vote and release system. I know she delayed it to give one of the songs more exposure but did she just decide no more until the album releases?

Ken Paxton is trash. Don’t take this man seriously.

Late last year, Interscope Records quietly dropped D4vd from its label, and in wake of the singer’s arrest for the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, Universal Music Group has helped some of its artists who have collaborated with D4vd to remove their songs from streaming platforms, Rolling Stone has learned. Artists who have collaborated with Burke have begun removing their songs from streaming platforms. Kali Uchis was among the first, pulling down their joint track “Crashing,” and was later followed by Holly Humberstone, Laufey and Damiano David. Streaming sites such as Spotify and Apple Music are now facing calls to remove Burke’s music entirely from its platforms, with music advocacy group Industry Blackout launching a petition to that effect. “The music industry has a responsibility that goes beyond commerce. When an artist has been charged with the sexual abuse and murder of a minor, a child who was drawn into his orbit through his music and public persona, continuing to stream, promote, and profit from his catalog is a choice. It is not a neutral one,” the group in its Change.org petitions said in a statement.

As a matter of fact, remove R Kelly and Chris Brown too.

I would rather die than be considered a fan of hers—a true destroyer of pop music

This completely reignited a whole realm of Gaga’s live performance potential that I didn’t really notice had waned into latency until you mentioned it here … but ough … yes—multisensory montage the live scene please. To your points though, Gaga started incorporating “[through my many, etc.] iterations” in her crowd causerie during the Mayhem Ball, which echoes a certain potential awareness or allusion to the reiteration … I think in her own way, we’re seeing live reinterpretations, but moreso internal or reworking songs within their own world (Disease, Antidote, Poison; Abracadabra, TAOPC, Grammys; Requiem; honestly, even the noted emphasis on melodic vocal shifts during the Mayhem Ball), but moving forward I could see her focusing on developing that more outwardly (all things being equal; good, bad, indifferent; “CollabGa,” beyond the cynicism underscores her openness to music integration (mashups are effectually song collaborations, and it appears she’s leaning all the way into her producer / songwriter satchel moving forward)) … but all of that rambling is to say … I could see your notes coming to fruition in near future projects Ough, the Velvet and Vice opener is beyond beyond, especially within that scope of perception. But, it’s kind of wilde to think that, if you had told me, following the Monster Ball, that in ten/fifteen years, the major caveat in Gaga’s live tours would be rearrangements and mashups, I would’ve thought it was fan fiction, but instead *gestures broadly at immediate commentary* … still, there’s solace in knowing this vision and viable blueprint resides somewhere at the source

Fork found in kitchen

reverse Warholian experience walked so reverse angel doesn't wear prada can smash the industry

I don't even dislike the official CONFESSIONS II cover ....but this pisses me off REAL bad. The grindr one is the perfect successor artwork. Will be using it instead

Runway flopped so SOAW can flop harder

I doubt that not that it sounds bad from what we’ve heard but it’s no Disease, Abra or Vanish, and it’s hardly on par with The Dead Dance. It’s a cute little rejected song that she decided to give away for the film.

This, more energy spent moaning instead of streaming. Though she also she didn't do much herself to make the general public aware was expecting at least like a story or tiktok using the song in some way.

The song has no legs wbk

She'll just have to do Copacabana again, it's that simple 3 million people this time

Runway came and went lolll but let's wait until the movie is out, but I don't see much traction for this one

this is just Me Too reheated in a cheap microwave

Never forgive is harsh but her current ticket prices are a huge turnoff

I love that....for you. Also, never forget:

Why does she look like DD Fuego in this

I know PF/JD are massive hits. But it's getting to the point she needs to fully embrace medleys & mashups (which TAOPC shows some progress towards). She has a new creative zeal post Chromatica though, and I think she may finally start throwing off the shackles of "I must perform this because it's big".

Oh Godga the once in an actual lifetime artist that you are...

100%. Also kind of perfect encapsulation of how she manages to make her references her own because, in spite of Gaga being a Queen reference, she’s established such a strong image and identity as an artist that she’s transcended the reference and become her own pop cultural reference point (“one second I’m a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me.”)

I think @bxr referring to the dispute in the fanbase about whether it’s stylized as Gaga or GaGa. Early in her career, she occasionally stylized it with two capital Gs, then started consistently writing it with just the first capitalized. That being said, the Queen song as a reference point has always interested me because the song is simultaneously a love letter to pop music (which is very Lady Gaga), but the song also uses “Radio GAGA” as a pejorative (basically saying modern pop is nonsense and rubbish). So how does Gaga square the circle on reclaiming “Gaga” in that context? Is that part of the ethos of “pop music will never be lowbrow,” so she’s pre-emptily absorbing the criticism that she’s a “fad” and has “no substance?”

My interpretation of it is that GaGa was quite simply Queen' song incorporated, just a syllable on repeat. Then it transformed into a "real" sounding name. The funniest part is that the brazilian word for stuttering/stammering is gagueira, so a man stutterer is a gago and a woman stutterer is a gaga. So for us, Lady Gaga is really indeed Lady Stutterer

I ordered it straight away idgaf..

when will she drop the PrEP edition?

Nurtec was crazy

Nah that we can live with

I heard this earlier too and ngl I was shook bc it sounded real... I've heard many A.I recreated songs using Gaga's voice and they've mostly been a dud but this right here is insane. There are certain inflictions in Gaga's voice you couldn't replicate before but it's crazy how fast A.I has improved. Especially at 0:53 when she says "while I die" and the vocal riff on the word "die" itself. It genuinely sounds like an actual demo which is scary.
