I'm at atrlers asking why Joanne is so important to the Germanotta's. Didn't they get the memo that she died at 19 because she was sexually abused, was traumatised and it flared her lupus? Gaga too was abused and tested positive for lupus. One of her friends also suffered complications with the disease. All of this has given her sleepless nights thinking she's going to die as a result of stress from the music industry. Stefani has recurring dreams that she's going to be shot like her idol, John Lennon because of how fanatic her base is. It was only upon writing and recording Joanne with Mark Ronson that she was able to talk about these dark issues - a musical therapist (likewise with Amy when they wrote Back to Black.)
People claim they don't like her and ask intriguing questions. Why don't they stan and they'll learn more about who she is.

Right. And Joanne's death caused Joe Germanotta to go off the rails. He became a wild man who Gaga saw as an example as an Italian-American girl who loves her father, a man who would call her drunkenly as his health deteriorated because he was too scared to have open heart surgery. Naturally this caused her daddy issues and chasing of wild men seen on John Wayne. There's not one lyric on this album that doesn't belong there. It's all so intrinsically linked to the main concept of the album and the way Joanne's death caused shockwaves throughout not only the close family, but future generations.
There's so much still to be explored in future listens in terms of metaphors and lyrical content on here too. It's got so much replay value.
Oh, my! How come I am such a flop fan not knowing the story of the album?
Her much music performance of LG and PF was what made me Stan in the first place. So it's always gonna be a special song for me. That and its so fun! And the video was the TEA. I don't know why so many people overlook it.
Angel Down
Dancin' In Circles
Joanne
Diamond Heart
Grigio Girls
(and Perfect Illusion)
Flawless taste on the whole. I'd take out Joanne and Grigio girls and replace with CTM and JAD though. I can understand why you picked your two though.
I'm so shook right now. Everything is so perfect right now and I've only ever gotten to experience the dark ages of Gaga's eras here so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

What do you mean? You came here during Cheek To Cheek: her most slayful era yet.
