Why are Rain On Me's daily streams so atrocious? Million Reasons consistently out streams her

It aged badly because it was a watered down compressed quick single. With Ariana on it, it should have been a dance banger like her catalogue, and Gaga's early work. She just doesn't want to do anything daring these days, and plays it safe. Abracadabra will be similar, it will battle its way to 1B streams but end up forgotten in a couple of years

Why do you come in here only to hate

The queen is great until that part near the end of the bridge where the beat is so messed up with the rest of the track. It gives me a headache

That's the brilliant part like what??

This is too funny lmao

The Free Woman demo is an example of wasted potential with the 90's house influences, background vocals and the higher key without the raspiness. That would have made a smash lead single after ASIB when she had the world in her hands. Yet she still found a way to ruin it by releasing SL, which was leaked online and being played in clubs months before its release with that atrocious music video. It was a time she could get away with with taking more risks and being more daring, yet still wanted to play it as safe as possible. I'm the mastering stages of Chromatica and Mayhem, they are made to be watered down without hearing the details in the production that would make more impact. I hope this isn't going to happen for her future albums, but something tells me she wants to be 'softer' now. Her Jazz albums and side projects are the only way we can hear the full power of her voice, and have better production to showcase it. Her studio albums are cursed

I don't know whether to call the nurse or let him entertain us with Chromatica whackings

The demo to final version shift had nothing to do with mastering, which would've happened in early 2020. Teh team started to massively change the demos in early 2019 with Axwell in the mix. But yes, they totally butchered the parts that made those songs stand out / give that 90s dance vibe.

I mean… any Free Woman demo praise and final version slander is welcomed by me

It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not, you will not see me like up any MadMax12 posts I'm sorry

A broken clock is right twice a day teas

The way Gagallah has had so many moments to Stan just recently (Grammys, SBHT cameo) within a successful era, and things on the horizon to speculate on …

… and here we are dragging past albums, doing rankings, old memes

As if we were Navy or Army

I never realized she was holding corn while performing solo hit DWAS Salsa Version in the SuperBowl Halftime Show (that she was invited to).

I think it's the vocals. She should have chilled a bit in the studio recording Chromatica. Mayhem has a lot of shouty moments too but it was done right (except for the throaty VIY intro) with all the layering, processing, etc.

I don't understand why Randy Merrill mastered MAYHEM like that when all his other albums are really clean, loud and dynamic. Unless Gaga wanted it done that way

These monsters are beating around the bush, but do you want me to give you the reason?

Oh lord we were in the trenches

I find it so hilarious that we all instantly reviled Carino from the beginning. I personally thought he was too old for Gar & didn't like that he was her agent, but what really made me be fully anti-CariNO was when he randomly showed up with cornrows tbh. So glad she got with Micheal.
