I'm not even talking about using redone tracks for success, I'm talking quality too. Unless this is some born this way type situation, perfect illusion doesn't really compare to songs like TEOG, Y&I, Bad Romance, Poker Face... And if what Elton said it true and the songs Gaga and Redone created were on Y&I Bad Romance level quality, why would she scrap it for something else?
Don't get me wrong I love perfect illusion, I think it's a good gaga track, but if she had songs on the scale of PF/BR why not use them over this?
Haha y'all are just gonna deal with it. Gaga already said that she's grown up and the whole charts thing doesn't phase her anymore. Just accept the fact that she couldn't give a **** and if she flops she flops.
okay but if you're gonna have that mentality then you at least need to release good music
I've been a LM since day 1.
I don't care if she's doing rock or whatever, I mean I genuinely liked C2C, even bought a copy and went to the tour. I liked it.
If she's gonna go pop-rock, go for it, but do it good then. PI is far away from her top 20 best songs. The instrumental is amazing.. but the melody/her singing, no. She could've done it so much better.
But I have hopes for LG5. The collaboration and everything seems good. I hated Formation by Beyonce, but Lemoande ended up as one of her best works to date.
- she made lots of songs with nadir while she was happy with life, during cheek to cheek and getting engaged to Taylor
- She met up with Mark to mix some tracks and get some ideas, while her relationship was starting to end with Taylor
- She realized she wanted to make it more of a pop rock album about break ups and more serious/sad subjects, and probably felt uncomfortable singing an album all about loving a guy that she no longer loves
- She scrapped the nadir tracks and worked with Mark full time since they related and hit it off well

See, that's a misconception that RedOne haters have, they think that asking for RedOne = asking for quick singles, because in Gaga's case all her best songs happen to be her best selling ones, same with her albums, yet they forget about the out of this world quality they delivered together.
I also believe they think they sound more mature/intelligent by purposely wanting her to flop, because apparently her flopping = her doing "real" music, leaving a legacy and becoming an icon.
My overall impressions of the song is that I really like it, except the fact that the vocal engineering is off and that the vocals don't have a build-up at all..
The vocals seem to follow their own path and not move with the instrumental, and that could be fixed by lowering her volume a little bit, I think.
With respect to the build-up thing, I feel like she goes directly into the yelling part of the song 30 seconds in and the verses are extremely short. If she sang the choruses a bit more differently with a difference between the power in each chorus, it would have been a bit more comprehensible for the ear, I think. When she yells through three minutes it gets a bit tedious and confusing...
She did even yell through the lovely bridge. If she just kept quiet during half of it and let the quiet vocals parts do their thing for the first half of the bridge, it would have provided the required build-up when she kicked in with the yelling.
It should have been
(start) ıııııııııIIIIIIIIIII (end)
or
(start) IIIIIIIIııııııIIIIIII (end)

How dare you criticize her best lead single ever that has quality written all over it ? You probably don't understand the message behind the song.

Is my idea
She still loves Taylor, the breakup is probably a PR move for PI
