Which is fair: The Chainsmokers don’t see dance music as avant-garde theater or sociopolitical provocation. They see it as quick-stepping pop, which, though it’s fuzzy in the rearview, is also part of Lady Gaga’s legacy. That they were allergic to “Perfect Illusion” makes sense. But instead of taking offense and tossing off a tweet, she should maybe give them a call.

Well that twitter beef certainly was promo, but was it the right kind?

“A-Yo,” with its exuberant horns, tart handclaps and noodle-limp guitars, sounds like a Britney Spears parody or a song drawn from one of those live musicals that have been littering network television since the demise of “Glee.”

Joanne is not GREAT but Methney wishes she had a song as good as A-Yo.

The Florence Welch duet “Hey Girl” sounds like Motown, but Ms. Welch’s singing isn’t nearly as brazen as it ordinarily is (though it easily outclasses Lady Gaga’s).

ah love listening to good songs i don't have to pretend to like such as Needed Me

[Ramos]

Not "give The Chainsmokers a call". She's going to FUME.

If she goes down with a meltdown & we need to go through another C2C era...

Mark Ronson appears throughout this album, as a songwriter and producer, but there’s precious little of his reliable funk. “Dancin’ in Circles,” a songwriting collaboration with Beck, sounds like a No Doubt demo. Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age plays guitar on a handful of songs, but none with anything close to his usual ferocity. The Florence Welch duet “Hey Girl” sounds like Motown, but Ms. Welch’s singing isn’t nearly as brazen as it ordinarily is (though it easily outclasses Lady Gaga’s).

Dancin' In Circles wasn't compared to Britney. But it's definitely better than A-Yo.

fff why are Come To Mama, Sinner's Prayer and Hey Girl so mediocre; the last two were my most anticipated tracks.

and she completely RUINED Joanne with those tragic verses, because the chorus and the bridge >

[Delilah.]

Wow is it actually going to be panned? I thought it was critic bait for sure

[Elusive Chanteuse]

What are the consensus of the reviews so far? Its not authentic enough?

[Willy.]

Most frustrating, it careens from high-intensity to low, from one aesthetic to another, with lyrics that begin at trite and move somewhere quite dimmer. “Perfect Illusion,” the chaotic first single, is a mélange of shouts — her singing is grand and unselfconscious, and not at all bad, but the result sounds like a demo in which you can hear the seams that have not yet been smoothed over. “A-Yo,” with its exuberant horns, tart handclaps and noodle-limp guitars, sounds like a Britney Spears parody or a song drawn from one of those live musicals that have been littering network television since the demise of “Glee.”

Britney you know.

Joanne being panned



Did I waste all my good karma this year on Lemonade?

Poor Liddos. They went in on Toucanne, even comparing No-No to a GotKnee parody.
