February 3, 201411 yr Author 15. 'Donatella' Average: 5.18 http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/331/8/a/lady_gaga___donatella_by_somethinboutdylan-d6vvlm4.png Buzzjack is clearly not so FAAAAAAAB, with 'Donatella' claiming the dreadful last place in this rate. Many criticize the song for its lyrics, dismissing them as cringeworthy and awful. Well, Gaga, has battle to pick with you. She explained the song in an interview with music website Just Jared: “'Donatella' is an incredible crazy fun pop song with really raising electronic beats that I did with Zedd. It’s about being a fearless female and not caring what people say about you – being proud of who you are and walking the walk no matter what. Maybe she’s a bitch, maybe she’s too skinny, maybe she’s too rich, maybe she’s too out there. Or, maybe she’s brilliant, maybe she’s intelligent, maybe she’s strong, maybe she’s everything, maybe she’s Donatella.” - Just Jared Interview. The song has also been inspired by Gaga's dear BFF, Donatella Versace and Gaga becoming the new face of Versace. Those who detest this song are obviously not rich bitches or the upper class. :whip: It is indeed a crime against humanity that the fabbest song in Gaga's entire catalogue finishes in such an embarrassing spot. On The Red Carpet Review: In a homage to Versace designer Donatella Versace, Gaga takes a turn for the cheeky and over-the-top, declaring, "I am so fab / Check it out I'm blonde / I'm skinny / I'm rich / And I'm a little bit of a [expletive]." The song is meant for catwalks and clubs everywhere, one that is sure to be a favorite among fans. Dazed Review: "I'm a little bit of a bitch" It's true! In "Donatella", Gaga channels the spirit of Courtney Stodden, Paris Hilton and Kim K in a campy satire of the fashion industry. With all the nuance of "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich", she speak-raps "Walk down the runway but don't puke... you just had a salad today". As someone that has spoken out about her own struggles with eating disorders, it seems a slightly disingenuous turn for Gaga, especially as self-empowerment was a central tenet of her multi-million-dollar-grossing Born This Way Ball.Time Review: On the worse hand there’s “Donatella”, Gaga’s attempt at dismantling 1% culture, or maybe just the Versace maven individually (after all, it starts with a scathing, but accurate description of Ms. Versace’s appearance). “Donatella” could have been a solid body image anthem, one that announces in the pop radio format that it’s okay to be imperfect in your body, in your clothes, and with your money. But, the personal vendetta makes the song seem childish, an unfortunate look for someone approaching 30. Billboard Review: Whisking pop fans into the fashion world and squaring her sights on one of the strongest figures in that medium, Gaga turns "Donatella" into an anthem for the outcasts that have a right to feel gorgeous. Unlike "G.U.Y.," Zedd's production work here doesn't quite hypnotize, but like that earlier "ARTPOP" track, Gaga embraces the pointedly playful concept wholeheartedlyPopdust Review: We all know Gaga isn’t one for exposing her wealth so who is she describing here? The rest of excessive Hollywood? Starting the song with “I am so fab” (which for Gaga is true), but what she says next does not add up: “Blonde, skinny, rich and a little bit of a bitch.” At this point I realized she’s describing a “Donatella:” her idea of that vapid girl that is driven by material objects…I’m sure she meets a lot of these “Donatellas” everyday in her industry.

February 3, 201411 yr I had SO much love for Donatella when the album first dropped but it's aged quite badly :/ Still should have been Swine. Donatella herself and Gaga together is super cute though <3
February 3, 201411 yr I predict the averages will look like this 11.54 Jewels 'N Drugs ... -3.56 Venus :lol: Didn't vote for this, but Venus needs to be last. Worst song of the year, well, after those three.
February 3, 201411 yr Author 14. 'Jewels 'n Drugs' (feat. T.I., Too Short & Twista) Average: 5.73 http://24.media.tumblr.com/610a62940d8bc62810195cbe40b074aa/tumblr_msikatj8Ic1sfb8voo1_500.jpg Surprise surprise, the first urban rap experimentation from Gaga has been snubbed by Buzzjack (queue Vidcapper rant here). Twista spoke out about the collab: "I was doing some songs last year with one her producers, DJ White Shadow. He’s been pretty busy, doing his thing around the world and he got back at me a little while ago and said, ‘There’s a song that Lady Gaga’s doing that possibly they would want to get you on’ … so I said, ‘s— I’m down with it!’" - Twista to MTV News Soon after, the session was booked in Los Angeles and $hort got in the booth and laid his verse down, just like that. "Then he called back and was like, 'She's going to debut the song at one of her shows' and I'm like,'s--- I'm there!'" On The Red Carpet Review: In perhaps the strangest track on the album, Gaga experiments with trap-style hip- hop, in a song that sounds like three songs in one, with each layer fit to each unique collaborator. The song is a standout on the album for being the most drastic and different from anything the singer has recorded previously.Dazed Review: "There's good pussy in the passenger seat" Thanks to Too $hort for this tender image of Gaga's private parts in "Jewels n' Drugs", a hip hop experiment which also features T.I. and Twista. "Don't want your money, want your love", Gaga spits over trap stutters in the vein of last year's oddity "Cake Like Lady Gaga". It could be fun, but it all feels a little calculated and cold. Time Review: The moments where ARTPOP sells the ambitions of its title are the moments that stand most apart from her prior work. “Jewels N’ Drugs” features T.I., Too $hort, and Twista, a combination that seems only Gaga would have been able to bring together, and it ends up working as one of the record’s best tracks.Billboard Review: The transition between the starry-eyed "Sex Dreams" and T.I. thumping his chest at the start of "Jewels n' Drugs" is more than a little jarring, and the Gaga- assisted hip-hop summit exists in its own grimy world on "ARTPOP." Kudos to Gaga for refracting her latest tale of fame addiction through the prism of hip-hop, as well as tapping a world-class veteran like Twista to help get the job done. Popdust Review: It seems like Gaga is taking a tip out of Katy Perry’s song book. Jewels N’ Drugs, featuring T.I., Too $hort, and Twista, the pop star takes a turn for the worse on this track. I’m not sure why all these young female pop artists continue to collaborate with rappers. Some sounds should just stay in their own genre. This track does nothing for ARTPOP. That being said, Lady Gaga’s part in this song would also do nothing for a T.I. or Twista album. Even if the sound was there, the lyrics are still empty. All in all I would have preferred this track to have stayed on paper.
