Digitalism Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I saw all the monsters saying HM is her best ballad and praising the joker. But they played stupid love more. Are the monster lying and they don't actually like her music? 4 2 3
Erreur2 La Nature Posted September 30 Posted September 30 To be fair I feel like the only people who are streaming Harlequin right now are Monsters. I doubt anyone outside of pop fans even know about the album. 1
Doctor Dick Posted September 30 Posted September 30 It's a cute song. I've streamed it like four times, the album once. It's not what I want to hear from her and I've been over her jazz music since 2014 but I'm happy to see she's happy doing it. But just because I'm a Monster doesn't mean I'll be streaming her side-projects. You know, kinda like Beyoncé fans weren't streaming The Gift. 7 4
Devin Posted September 30 Posted September 30 happy mistake is not her best ballad. monsters wanna hear something over 128 bpm. 2
PMM Posted September 30 Posted September 30 i played this album today 5 times. i will play it probably every day in 2024 1

dumbsparce Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) It's a known fact that the last time Gaga was being Gaga was when she released Artpop. No one signed up for horrible songs with real instrumentation and growls when they bought BTW. Edited September 30 by dumbsparce 3

wastedpotential Posted September 30 Posted September 30 They are... I just don't think anyone else is 8
TeemoR Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I think most monsters don't like it. Personally, hate TJ, HM is cute but got old fast...
Doctor Dick Posted September 30 Posted September 30 This is how Monsters treat her jazz music: This is how we want DarkGa but instead we get JazzGa: 14 1

Sheep Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) Lady Gaga is a global superstar with a relatively small dedicated base, her smash projects are always the result of the general public being on board with her. This is why she has one of the biggest songs in the world right now with a safe HAC ballad but not with her theater camp'd Judy Garland covers. The general public isn't here for 100 year old standards in 2024. Harlequin was a passion project and even the most critical reviews note this fact and that in spite of the niche appeal, she did an amazing job across the board on the album. Personally I think The Joker is one of the most edgelord songs I've ever heard and not even Lady Gaga's vocal peak can make it listenable and it sticks out like a sore thumb in an album full of undisputed classics and material from one of the biggest legends of our time. Hope this clears up some of your confusion that you seem to be posting about a worrying amount. Edited September 30 by Sheep
KatyPrismSpirit Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I feel like a good chunk of monsters haven't enjoyed a full gaga album since BTW. But there's also people with taste who can appreciate some of the hidden gems on her last albums. 1 1
Digitalism Posted September 30 Author Posted September 30 Just now, wastedpotential said: They are... I just don't think anyone else is Are they tho? Chromatica debuted with 200 thousand pure sales in the US alone. The numbers don't make sense. With those monsters playing the track only a few times a day it should be doing a lot more streams than HM's numbers today. I'm not talking about the whole album because it's unlistenable but HM and TJ's streams should be higher with the size of the fan base
Sheep Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) also The Joker isn't an original Lady Gaga song, you seem confused about that too, it's a random off-broadway rock musical track. A lot of confusion coming from you lately hang in there bestie. Edited September 30 by Sheep 1
єѕℓαм Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I don't know abt others but i'm definitely enjoying HM and it's been on repeat since yesterday it's one of the best Gaga songs imo

Maybe DWAS is cannibalizing everything

It seemed like a phoned in attempt to appeal to her self-serious fans who think they're above showtunes but run to stream rah rah rah ah ah gaga ooh la la, to me personally. Happy Mistake could definitely use some promo but with DWAS not slowing down and LG7 right around the corner I think this is going to be sent out to die like the single version of Joanne was, for the purpose of getting critics buzzing about her.

When Gaga does dance something erupts in us and makes us gayer, sassier, funnier and hotter to the point where we are powerful. It unites us all and we become one of the strongest fanbases in pop music history. But when she does Jazz and Adult Contemporary we start losing limbs and energy and we are unable to press play. When she specifically does jazz songs we dissolve and melt to the point where there's nothing left but our pubic hairs. Edited September 30 by Doctor Dick 2
