Yeah I think he's a credited writer on both versions, which is why both are no longer available to stream!

 

I don't really think it's about blaming the people who worked with him, it's more down to the whole industry for knowing about him and continuing to support him. It's the same situation with 6ix9ine and Xxxtentacion really. Mentioning other people who worked with him at the time doesn't make any difference though, that doesn't make it any better or worse for Gaga to have done the same.

The Christina version is available on Spotify as of today

Haha yeah I’ve just checked and it’s on Apple Music too, my mistake :’)

I was sure they’d both been taken down but it must’ve just been the original. I think Jon’s right though, think I remember seeing he’s a credited writer on both.

Just remembered you can now check the credits on Spotify and yeah, he's still credited as a writer on the Christina version :(

They made a good decision to not have it on the album any way. I don't really return to the song these days, but good that it is there just in case.

Yes, because Gaga was the only one to blame by the media for collaborating with him, and she was one of the only ones to publicly take a stand against the acts he did and to remove the song she did with him from the platforms, unlike other artists who did little or nothing about the situation. Pretend that the charge to Gaga is not always higher.

Some of the best and worst of Gaga's career but nothing outright BAD. DWUW is a hard one to rate as it feels somewhat tainted, but I don't want to ignore that it's a great song behind what R. Kelly did (and his version, annoyingly, does feel more natural than Xtina's, though just now was the first time I've heard his version in years)
