Originally posted by IronFist1994 I'm unsure about song's success right now, it doesn't really sound radio friendly. And it's too polarizing on top of that.

-The Atlantic:"She’s dressing more like a normie these days, but Lady Gaga is still a weirdo. No other pop star in need of a comeback in 2016 would stake it on “Perfect Illusion,” a song that has no clear electronic dance signifiers, no hip-hop influence, little to no vocal manipulation, and no chill. It will stick out on radio playlists like a meat dress on a red carpet; whether it’ll thus be promptly thrown out for bad taste or be hailed as brave and trendsetting will be a question for the masses."

Originally posted by Dr.Cake Remember that even the guy from GrapeJuice warned us. ''DO NOT LOOK AT FIRST WEEK FIGURES!'' This will take some time for people to catch on with it. Complextro masterpiece, I called it. ''Perfect Illusion'' will SMASH and all ATRL will deal with it.

The middle-8 continues to leave me bald

So true.

Originally posted by inspiration4 I forgot about this. Makes perfect sense now though. The song will grow on everyone (if radio gives it a chance) and become a Monster.

A perfect illusion INDEED



I trust Gaga, I trust her team and I trust Interscope for choosing this as the lead single.
They won't let this flop and they know the market and what they have to put out BETTER than some random twinks on a pop forum.

Remember, ATRL is NEVER right about what's gonna be it or ****.

There's been months of planing for this release. It will be treated as her real comeback and IT WILL BE her real comeback.

Interscope didn't just put this out and for sure won't let it flop into oblivion without looking back at this. If they were confident enough to put this out as the first single, they know what's up with it.

Some of the shrakeing bottoms in here NEED TO DEAL.
PERFECT ILLUSION is the perfect illusion of a smash.

Originally posted by Loghen Well, this was underwhelming. What the hell did they do to her voice? The chorus sounds more like a pre-chorus; when it's over I expected some explosive chorus and I was disappointed they didn't do more with the song. "The key change is unearned" sums it up perfectly. Still expecting the rest of the album to have some gems. All the talent involved must've produced something great.
