In the closest round yet (and a very corrupt one - let's keep it clean this round please) 'Dope' the slowest, most stripped back song on the album dries out. Gaga performed the song at the iTunes festival under the name of "I Wanna Be with You" and it stunned the audience. In studio form, the song is similar but packs a greater punch and a more profound lyrical message. After undergoing surgery for her hip during the Born This Way Ball Gaga admitted to having a serious marijuana addiction in order to bear the pain of the surgery. This song was borne out of that madness and sadness and the result is a powerful, moving ballad that shines amongst the vocal intensity of the rest of the album. It's a beautifully painful song and so different to everything else on the album.

Deadline: Thursday evening..

Is it too early to start voting for 'Applause'? Hmm going for 'Artpop' but i think that'll be my target in a few rounds :')

Gone for 'MANiCURE', it was between that or 'Venus' really.

MANiCURE obviously.

Dope gone?! -_-

 

I loathe all of you. Good luck salvaging the remains of the Lady Gaga forum.

'MANiCURE' was SO close to leaving! :drama: It seriously has to go now, really won't be happy if 'Artpop' goes before it. 'Artpop' is easily one of my faves but I'd be able to forgive any other song on that list booting it out.

Yep, I'm going to target 'Applause' once we get rid of 'Artpop'.

Artpop

Artpop :puke2:

 

Adore Dope and in my top 5 on the album, so beautiful so shame to see that out :heart: MANiCURE is also in my top 5 of artpop so hopefully that doesn't go next!

Manicure easily.

MANiCURE

Manicure easily.

Can you at least get the title right. *MANiCURE.

 

I don't even disagree with the MANiCURE doubters - i hated it at first, but when it clicks with you it's so good. It just needs time~ Can't wait for all you haters to see the light eventually :D

I've always found the album version of it to be a HUGE disappointment compared to the iTunes fest performance. It's like a huge chunk of life got wiped from it, and it sounds tinny.

"Dope" getting eliminated is not gonna bring me back to this. Sorry.

For shame at the amazing title track being so close to going this soon.

I was thinking the exact same! Easily a favourite. :(

artpop canNOT go next

MANiCURE which is absolutely dire. So disappointed at both Swine and Dope leaving which are definite highlights for me. :(
