Infernal Paradise

Some fans theorized it's supposed to be a callback to pre-fame days since this footage leaked right before Disease mv dropped. She's wearing that exact shade.

Never seen a fanbase more insecure and threatened over a damn title. Like fave, like stans I guess OT: This analysis seems correct for that time but Gaga's career has branched in so many different and amazing directions since that a title like that seems too... limiting (for the lack of a better word) now. Besides, honorifics in music are mostly outmoded.

Kii at one GD expert having only TDD winning and not bothering to rank the rest What TDD has going for it is a memorable scene and name recognition but It can go either way and she already has an Emmy. Still rooting for her to win tho, as always. Good luck Godga!

DWAS Top 15 PF slowly inching up towards Top 100

Really difficult to choose from an entire career filled with stellar live performances but these two (an original song and a cover) have something special

As long as it comes this year and not on a random date in the summer of 2028, that would be great

Another global solo hit in the basket

UK: Bloody Mary - Platinum (600k)

UK Platinum certified, sixth SOLO HIT single

I literally called it a bop, what's with the randomly weird defensive energy? There's a clear visual and sonic throughline between Gaga's signature and BP, but given Miley has professed her love for Gaga multiple times in the past and how Gaga's artistry serves as a strong blueprint for artists attempting anything with an edge, it makes sense. Stans and non-stans are noticing it. Publications have noted it. None of these comparisons are being done in a Madonna stan'd "reductive" way, in fact we celebrate Gaga's wide influence. So what's wrong with pointing out the obvious? Since we are in this base, I can also flip this around and say you have some unattainable high bar for Gaga yet find this incredible, which is fine, but not everyone will share the same opinion as yours.

And great music Jk I think it's a decent bop but I'm always amazed at how often the phrase "Gaga-coded" and its variations are used as shorthand in the modern pop landscape critique. Speaks to how strong Gar's sonic and artistic signature is that anything in the electropop sphere is immediately associated with her. Same with her iconography and visuals too.
