"Dope vocals" is the most pathetic complaint in this base like honestly all you want her to do is sound like a perfect soulless pop singer like in 2008, like she's been praised for her vocals, that's all she's praised for nowadays because her voice is unique and powerful, she doesn't want to be just known for her antics and fashion now. She wants to make a mark with her music and trying to pull that off with the limitations that she had back in 08 and 09 just isn't possible for her in this day and age, she can't do the same things anymore because with this throwaway culture we have nowadays, Gaga is 30, she's not gonna be the hit with all the kids anymore it's bad but that's just how it goes, so now she has to make her impact with her music and her music only. If she keeps trying to go off gimmicks in this day and age she really will be just written off as a joke by the end of the next album cycle
