the likes... iconic flop

 

 

I feel like this verified people do it on purpose to get viral since they get paid from that lol

I'm so excited to see how gaga is gonna tease the lead single, i know she's gonna tease it before the announcement as she's done it with her last two releases (dwas, harlequin).

I don't really mind the haters. It's always the same 10 user circle jerking.

I mean, there were many of them that said DWAS was going to tank on the next week 

 

Why would anyone care of their opinions?

Harlequin on Metacritic

 

73 (+3)

 

Her best jazz effort as it should be

Although I adore the movie, I think the current situation is good for music fans. Gar will definitely take a break on her acting career. 

The way I put If You Go Away and Smile (harlequin version) back to back and it's a perfect transition and narrative.

Arthur begged her to come back yet Harleen just sings Smile hauntingly and tells him to get over it. The imagery

Maybe she should be the one pen a script next time

I'm reading that the DWAS vinyls got pushed to October 25th? Originally they were supposed to ship today.

 

i wonder if they thought radio would be bigger by now & JFAD would push it on streaming enough to make it go #1 this week, but seeing as that won't happen, they instead wait for radio to build, competition to fall, and maybe LG7 lead gives it a bump October 25th?

 

they'll probably discount it on iTunes october 25th, and hopefully release a lyric video,  and the live performances..

we've been saying that for a month now but if they keeps stalling, the streams will go down when radio is high, there probably will never be a perfect time. And with LG7 coming, it makes no sense pushing another song so hard side by side.

She will take a break on a lot of things hunny, she is getting married soon.

Maybe, they are thinking that LG7's lead might give DWAS a small boost in streaming from the release since it usually happens and that's what they thought with JFAD but it did not work because the movie flopped.

The only way to debut/peak #1 nowadays is with high streaming numbers, and with sales (sell many variants like taylor, ariana does), radio is never on Gaga's side since applause...

Going through Metacritic scores just for fun and saw CTC had one negative review  it's so funny in the context because like… whoever wrote that **** ass review totally thought the album was going to be panned and Gaga would never have a presence in jazz music and yet here we are.

Crítics saw the HM Performance and it is a 100/100... the rest 50/100 not bad but the songs are cover... for me The Joker is a 90/100

Yeah… you're probably right, darn. This just feels so bad I wish it got the #1, but it's no big deal really. Seeing it get so many massive accolades and likely breaking the fastest song to reach 1B on Spotify is even more impressive/notable than a #1 IMO

Happy 6 years to

A Star Is Born

well. Wondering why? Lol. I think if they test screened it, they could have fixed the film. 

 

I just wrapped up my JFAD viewing!

 

My thoughts… 

 

 

Pro's:

- Lady Gaga was very much part of the movie, she was a critical piece of it. I'm not sure where the "she's in it for 10 minutes" or "she's a cameo" came from. In most scenes, she's there. Without her, he wouldn't have derailed his defense the way he did. 

- Visually it was gorgeous. There were so many parts where I was like. Ah, these colors and lighting are pleasing. 

- Joaquin and Gaga did amazing acting. They really hit it out of the park.

- As someone that has struggled with mental health, including suicidal ideation earlier in my life, there were parts that really struck a nerve with me. It was hard at points, but also very powerful and memorable. I appreciated it. 

 

Con's:

- THE SCRIPT! How in the heck did that get approved?! It was such a shame, because while they both acted beautifully, their characters went nowhere. At the end, you're wondering why the movie even existed because nothing was happening for most of it. 

- Pacing. Within 2 seconds, they fall in love. 3 seconds later, she's becoming him. But then we spend 500 hours in a boring ass court room drama. Boy, was the second half of the film a drag. Half of the scenes could've been cut and the movie would've told the same story. 

- The music. Sorry, this didn't need to be a full musical (and it was, no matter how they spin it.) There were definitely points that the music fit and it was pretty clever. There were others that it felt random and forced.

- The unnecessary twists. Toward the end, when there's the explosion, I rolled my eyes. It felt way too random and unnecessary. They could've come to the same ending without that random detour. 

 

 

 

Overall I'd probably give it a 60-70 out of 100 or a C-. Would I see it again? Probably not. Does it deserve a 30% on RT? Also no. It was pretty entertaining most of the time, and not all films need to be an A. 

One of my friends who got to be one person out of hundreds people in the production team of Jfaf told me that they cut about 2/3 of Gaga scenes.  she filmed a lot but only one-third made it to the final cut. Toad Phoebes is the one to blame.

The movie would've been like 4 hours then.  

 

I think she's used plenty for what the plot ended up (not) being. Unlike most here, I almost put her at a lead status. — And I know we don't want that given the reactions.

 

With that said, I think they should've focused on the concept of a bad romance leading someone down a dark path rather than a courtroom drama. In that case, if that's what was cut, she was very underutilized.
