Especially considering it was her first release as a newly minted Oscar winner the only true bombs here are SL and FT, we just hate FW cos the demo was 1000% better it's actually a harmless bop. SFA (DoC remix) is also in her top 3 songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFA has some of the worst, most dated production in her entire discog. An ugly 2012 Eurovision’d reject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aren Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Y’all only hate Stupid Love cause it was the lead single. Had it been just a regular album track, it would’ve been a fan favorite. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildAmerican Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 ROM would've been her biggest hit if it came out summer of 2019. It still was a hit and Grammy-winning, just had the worst timing... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not get me wrong, Gaga's full-throttled metaphors on Born This Way work in context of the album, but overall they are often hard to relate to unless you know exactly what she is referring to. Joanne is an easy listen for me, and I have been returning to it a lot more recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think it should have been the lead, but I do understand why they played it safe. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good song to drive down the highway to. I find the video endearing, really. Gaga playing dress up and having fun in a way we had not seen in quite a while was nice. It could have been better for sure, but it is what it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sannie Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I like that so many of us have different rankings. It just goes to show how diverse her discography is (with the exception of BTW basically being universally agreed upon to be her best or on another level all together).

I am genuinely curious as the album and the entire era felt very deliberate and planned out to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xo_hours Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 OGH's maybe made some points w Toucanne; like making an album to someone that d*** way before you were born, whew chilee, maybe a song or so, but an entire era loosely base on a whim, not to mention the off set visuals that came after (Coachella, JWT) as if any of those reflected anything to deal w paying tribute to her aunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leptine Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 8 hours ago, Marry The Gods said: The backlash was only from film critics. The GP loved House Of Gucci and didn't care about her over the top promotional campaign quotes. It's also not Gaga's decision on whether or not she wants to keep a low profile. She may have the choice if she were doing a romcom or another light story but for Joker 2? No way. They are going to go all out for the promo. Seasoned actresses like Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Winslet, Angela Bassett, etc all still promote their films and do not keep a "low profile". Meryl still does tv appearances for her current films. Nobody questioned HOG success with the GP. Keeping a low profile doesn't mean not doing anything promo wise, but simply not being 'everywhere' or release interviews with anybody from pundits like it happened with HOG. The backlash wasn't only with film critics, somehow it has reached also Academy members, at the end of the day she still missed the nomination and that could have been one of the many factors behind that. A reminder that Olivia Colman won the Oscar while being total absent that awards season while Glenn Close was everywhere. Gaga just needs the performance and the work to speak for itself and being undeniable, she doesn't need at this point to campaign everywhere, it made sense with her first two movies, now she has established her name in that field.

That OGH narrative is false. like she needed an entire whole era for some yee-haw tribute, it was an unnecessary convoluted mess that had it not been for ASIB after, she’d be the definition of a FAD considering how pathetic and tragic the era actually did for her overall catalogue. the OGH narrative remains true to this day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
