Oricon

Arenas??? She has the capability of selling out stadiums (I mean look at Singapore and Mexico!!), so that’s a very strange decision. Also trying to battle out for tickets is going to be a NIGHTMARE in an arena setting. 😬😬

For the first time ever, Gaga has so many choices to singles but this is a Gaga era guys…which means the era has ended. Either that or she releases another single and doesn’t promote it properly. Vanish Into You/Garden of Eden for single release for Coachella, followed by How Bad Do U Want Me for summer and then Zombieboy for Halloween is a MUST. (Watch her release none of these…)

I voted Born This Way by accident oops, can someone change this to Bad Romance? x

No but a proper comedic one, like Katy Perry’s Birthday vibe. I feel like Garden of Eden could use a Birthday treatment.

Or she could do a double single release like Paparazzi/Love Game depending on the region! Garden of Eden for the European market and Vanish Into You for the US and then switch! (Do strategies like that exist anymore?) Then move onto How Bad Do U Want Me for the late summer smash followed by Zombieboy for Halloween!

Garden of Eden SCREAMS like it needs a comedy music video. Has Gaga ever done a funny music video, I don’t think so.

It’s clear the public want Garden of Eden, based on initial reaction^

I WILL BE HERE (And throw shade to Blade of Grass so beware!) 🤭

I agree. The fans are looning over Perfect Celebrity but it really won’t do a thing as a single, nor would Killah. Both fabulous on their own rights but just…not mainstream songs.

I’ve changed my mind (what a mayhem initial reaction I had!!). The song is now a 1111/10 song and I can live with this as the next single, BUT Garden of Eden after please (or Shadow of a Man, Zombieboy, How Bad Do U Want Me).

I stand by my opinion, in that rarely ever does she properly deliver in a ballad. Even in ASIB she does belt a lot and over sing, like sometimes she needs to take a leaf out of Rihanna’s books when it comes to ballads as that’s where as a pop star she shines! This is Gaga’s most consistent piece of work, and perhaps the Blade of Grass will grow on me? Right now it’s just…no (the lyrics and how in love is endearing but when I listen to music, lyrics isn’t the be all end of given how I frequent songs which I don’t understand the language of). Right now the entire album slots in behind The Fame Monster for me, and is #2 in my album rankings with Born This Way at #3!

It’s nothing like Chromatica, and thank f*** for that.

Come ON get her the best metacritic score so far in Gaga’s career please!!! The album is honestly her best piece of work, EVER. Born This Way had duds and skips, I honestly haven’t skipped any song so far (yes even the Blade of Grass!). The highs don’t reach as high as Born This Way, but it’s cohesive and consistent!

Unsure as there’s bonus tracks depending on which you purchase from. There are several standouts on the album, and for the first time in a LOONNNG time Gaga actually has a handover of single materials to choose from. Highlights are Garden of Eden, Zombieboy, Killah, Shadow of a Man, How Bad Do U Want Me (Gaga interpretation of Taylor Swift), Killah and Perfect Celebrity. (Basically Blade of Grass and The Beast can be binned, and once again Gaga cannot sing a slow ballad properly)

Garden of Eden should be single #4 (if we count DWAS), it has smash written all over it. Let’s hope the public gel with Vanish Into You, but it’s a weird structure (like it feels off but not at the same time).
