Maybe funny like 10 years ago when no one cared about mental health. Then again I thought it was funny but I was like 11 or 12 something.
Edit: Also South Park totally called Miley Cyrus's freak out

Welp, bad taste indeed. She would fit nicely in this community, though.
The best part of the song is those whispers over the bridge though.I still live for the first 10 seconds of Perfect Illusion but after that?

I remember I was shook because it sounded like a slay but then she just started saying "Perfect Illusion" in various ways for the rest of the songI still live for the first 10 seconds of Perfect Illusion but after that?

Perfect illooshun is ruined by the key change coming way too early. It would have made for an exhilarating last 20 seconds but instead the song just drags on going nowhere.
K-pop with the 1-2 punch.
Melodyday - Kiss on the lips
Nicely produced summery track.
June One Kim X Krystal (from f(x)) - I Don`t Wanna Love You
Song begins at 2:11. A big departure from the more commercial sound of f(x).

Perfect Illusion aged like fine wine.
It sure aged like wine, but like the opened bottle of wine that quickly turned into vinegar and is now usable only in the tiniest of doses

I remember being really put off by PI when it first aired at midnight because 1) it was really short, 2) it lacked any hard-hitting trademark Gaga hooks, and 3) it's super repetitive. Listened to it a second time when I got home and liked it a lot. I guess I was anticipating a Bad Romance/Pokerface retread and instead got like new wave Pat Benatar. I feel like pop songs rarely ever outdo the hype though. I was let down by Lemonade on first listen too, and I distinctly remember calling Applause an "MDNA B-Side" when I first heard it. :/
I just want shit to drop on iTunes randomly so that we can appreciate it for what it is. That John Wayne video was great because we weren't expecting it. If she hyped it up prior or announced the director I probably would have ended up a little let down by how short and spazzy it was.

How is it that Beyonce wins all the community awards, but we hardly ever talk about her?
She is boring

She's pretty private outside of her work and she doesn't do as many public interviews and party attendance to provide GIFs. And she's not really struggling for attention. Everybody is aware of her projects.

Your fave is Britney Spears hun. Please stop talking.
Does she really do anything these days aside from release music every now and then? She's so private and secretive now. No one even noticed she was pregnant for months lol.

Lol the ATRL monsters started trolling when they saw that initial 45k prediction too. Fucking karma
Lady Gaga is a wonderful person but her stanbase is largely putrid. She deserves better

I think they should have made that way stronger. I honestly just heard that the first time today after I gave Joanne my first listen since it released.
Pretty much this.I remember I was shook because it sounded like a slay but then she just started saying "Perfect Illusion" in various ways for the rest of the song
Not really...it will be a solid single, not sure if it will hit No. 1, but it's possible.

You all are speaking my mind about "Perfect Illusion," especially those talking about the extra vocals in the last third of the song, the off-putting premature key change, and the repetition. I think it had the potential to be great, but it feels like a draft that didn't get its final needed rewrite.
EDIT: This Josh Groban teaser of a new Beauty and the Beast song.... Not sounding good to me...

I don't think anyone would have been so harsh on Gaga had it not been:
a) the lead single
b) written/produced by the usually creative, talented team (Bloodpop, Ronson, Parker)
Like... how the hell does one fuck up THAT? But she proved it was possible.
It was amusing to read all the comments praising the key change as something innovative, though. If that's innovative, what's Eurovision Song Contest, then? Even the shittiest of songs have the key change as the most common element.

I think it just needs a post-chorus hook. That would space out the repetitions and at least make the key change feel a little bit earned. lol
I will say it's definitely one of her more experimental productions just as far as song structures go. She tends to stay in her lane with the verse-prechorus-chorus-postchorus format.

The first clip from the upcoming Lifetime movie event, Britney Ever After.
Why does Justine look like JC Chasez? "Britney" doesn't even look like the real one. And that acting dhsfiflčhdsfs
That would have helped things a bit for sure, yeah.

The new @ladygaga song is crazy amazing and that key change is the bravest/coolest move i've heard in a pop song forever
robbingham @robbingham
The new Lady Gaga song ensures that every pop song for the next two years will have a key change.
Irene Reyes @irene90zkid
Lady Gaga put a key change in Perfect Illusion. SHE PUT A BIG KEY CHANGE IN A POP SONG. IN TODAY'S MUSICAL LANDSCAPE. 😭😱😭
Yeah

The key change is really nice but it deserves more of a song
Can't believe she flubbed the first single. Although considering what followed, maybe it's not a surprise. 🌝

For her last two albums she's released everything in one go, so there's nothing to anticipate for the rest of the album era other than a couple of award show performances.
After 4 years, it's a flop for her standards.

What does that has to do with anything?
What is there to talk about? Her PR team is tight and she doesn't do interviews.
I might be the only stan that likes the ballad Mariah. No one can writes
or sings
She wrote a song called Alone in Love when she was 15. That song is in her first album, I'd buy a ticket to her show right now if she says she will perform it.
Y'all are doing the most with "I Don't"
The entire song is carried almost entirely by the sample. Also, Whitney is a better ballad singer.

Because your fave is degraded to a vegas stage that the media doesn't even check for, she can barely hold a tune and dance decades later in her career (ironically being the same age of Beyoncé) which makes any Stan of hers coming from someone who is doing the exact opposite, pretty much unworthy of calling anyone boring.
But you are open to having opinions even if wrong so yeah. However there's not much to talk about when it comes to Beyoncé anyways which is something I tend to like because at least she isn't over exposed by anything of her purposeful doing.

It has everything to do with it when you stan a sentient vegetable.
I Don't (Chart) is TRASH. Stop trying to give a pass to an artist that lost the plot, the voice, and access to NYE events.
This isn't trash.
