I do agree that BBHMM is one of her most overrated songs, but you'd still vote for… the other song?

I feel like I've seen this thread before in the past two or three weeks. And I'm pretty sure the answer from the forum was a resounding NO. Calling it the 2020s version of The Fame is a new one tho. I do not understand the comparison at all.

I mean… how does one even dance to Taylor Swift? I imagine some awkward giraffe swaying back and forth and trying not to cry or something. Maybe swinging its neck around to Shake It Off.

Because Demi, at least in her earlier years, up until at least her rock reinvention, was INSUFFERABLE as a person. That doesn't necessarily affect the music but it does affect the public perception of the music, so despite her superior talent, she basically blackballed herself for a long while. Like, wtf was with FroYoGate? Brutal.

Rihanna for sure! It certainly seemed like quite the feat! Great music, the best being OG(ITW) of course. Taylor has somehow made getting so many number ones in one year seem cheap and tacky.

Lotta peculiar choices posted in here that I don't think fit the vibe of Halloween beyond their titles 😂 But anyways, one I haven't seen posted would be:

… Y'all wanted 143?

With TLDR being a double album… wouldn't slopgirl be TS13?

That's hilarious. 😂 But no, she sounds bad on purpose, it's an Easter egg for her fans. She's ramping up for Reputation TV. She wants to be dragged through the filth. It's all very calculated. Honestly tho, I never thought I'd read that particular sentence. 😂

Not "Lady Gaga" being on Page 2 😬 Never had to go this far to check out this thread.

Encore should've been up against 1432, would make more sense to put the two "deluxe" versions against each other. Either way, as bad as TSLOP is, 143 and 1432 are worse.

Not me bringing Gaga's votes up to 143. Jumpscare, cursed number, bad juju. Somebody else cast their vote, quickly.

I understand what you're saying, but increasing quantity does not ensure quality. Her latest album is showing that more than ever. The album before that was a big bloated whale of music. The quality control, probably since Midnights, is slipping. And what you're describing, "something for everybody" reads to me as "lowest common denominator". That's why she gets such a rep as the "McDonald's of pop". It feels like she's just saturating the market with her product, and variants of her product, and rerecordings of her product, to stimulate the numbers. Also, "TLDR" makes for a great nickname for TTPD. OT: I'd be game to see what this would do to the stan-scape. Could be very intriguing! There'll be other stats to bicker over, no doubt.

I mean, I think that's the joke. Quality > quantity Swifties truly do listen her music on calculators.

Maybe she should try just LISTENING instead of singing. She might actually get inspired to make something great for a change. But give it a few years at least. We are tired.

Tortured Poet Dept for sure, it is just so pretentious. Same with Life of a Show Girl. 143, I could forgive, it's a little cutesy, but 1432 makes no fckn sense. -.-

Miley's album is ok, just a little boring is all. 143 has no redeeming qualities. 😬 I do believe it will hold its position as the standard of outright bombing. All other flops will have to compare to 143, and they'll all come out above it.

People are hungry for some Beyonce from back when she was… not Cowboy Carter, I guess. But any way you slice it, Stupid Love is not by any means beloved or revered by the GP or even Gaga's own fans, so it's kind of a weird song to go up against. Kind of a gimme, no?

Her Cruella hair during the Judas era was my favourite aesthetic of hers. My least favourite is when her eyebrows are freshly bleached. She looks like an alien. The only time I've enjoyed her bleached eyebrows was during the MAYHEM era because it was paired with black hair, and maybe one other time when she went to some fashion show looking like a better version of Yoland* V*sser. I think that's the time she upstaged N*ck* M*naj, which makes it even better.

Fine wine? I'm getting hints of sour grapes and I think it's corked.

I can see the thread titles now. "Legendary Lover still killing it, why?" "The One That Got Away still Spotify Global top 100!" And not a single goddamn mention of anything from the trilogy.

… WHAT?!

Chapter 1 was definitely better! But I've been getting into a few tracks from Ch 2, mostly Don't Answer the Door, All the Vilest Things, and None of the Suns. I've basically SCRATCHED a few tracks from my library (Front Towards Enemy, The Arsonist, and the new track You Can't Die Young) which I would have never considered doing for Ch 1, which I love front to back, up and down 😂

Why does she have to commit to one? She has managed to make the music she likes to make, which is more rah-rah stuff that her fans like, with mild success, and also put out ballads for the GP that they enjoy. She's been doing this for a hot minute now, why does she have to commit to one side or the other now?
