This is such a true reinvention for her. Even if it doesn't mesh well with where my musical taste is now, I can appreciate that she is growing. This is what she needed. How embarrassing would it be to see a faded star replicating her former hits?? Desperate. I love that she is experimenting. Gaga is doing the right thing...she is more than Poker Face rehashes.
No, I think the acoustic versions sounded this way but the production will likely be different. I am guessing, minus PI, they chose the most "country" songs for this show. I don't think this is a country album
