7. Lady Gaga - "Abracadabra"

The song showcases everything great about her: her enormous alto amid tiny sopranos, her actually dark dance amid hundreds of vaguely minor-key pretenders (and this one has acid synths), her utter determination to tell unrelatable stories that still bang, her using the word "gaga" as punctuation, and her high-concept videography with actual choreo (Parris does it again!). Few others have this gravitas.

This. I mean we have artists here that do 3+ years tour with revamped setlists to boost stats but for some reason Gar couldn't do it with the promo tour which was basically THEY/THEM Ball

Can we spam Billboard, Pollstar or something ?

rosalia referencing (mocking?) lady Gaga's 100 people in the room quote

20 mins interview talking about old ass songs, well at least we're getting those jazz/traditional pop voters with this.

I know he feels like a major clown for that little meltdown the way she keeps praising him at every turn.

Truly serving unbothered.

The way I've never heard any songs at all that Ga likes! Even some of the artist.

Her music taste is kinda indie

She's vying for those jazz/traditional votes to push Mayhem to the AOTY, because the pop votes are already guaranteed. Smart queen.

honestly this dont surprise me at all

gar always gave me the vibe that she values male musicians more, probably comes from being a rock fan

That final song and video was stressing me out even with a few seconds being played. Jesus.

she needs to stop glazing OGHs Davie Bowie and Justin Tranter

The way I only knew and liked Superstitious and Tear You Apart.

This list was giving boomer vibes, but I loved hearing her talk about it so passionately.
