Oricon

The lack of choreography is what makes this song even BETTER, and this is coming from an avid K-pop who usually enjoy a good dance choreography. Given the BPM for the breakdown is so high, any dance would look ‘weird’ given how high tempo it is.

On the other hand I couldn’t get tickets (people who know me, know I whined and moaned and whinged about the entire process oops), so I will be forking out £250-300 for a ticket just to see her in subpar seats :’)

This is going to be huge, and probably will be their biggest hit as well (quite deservedly!). It’s also probably their best song since….Boombayah!

I’m going to say it’ll be similar to the stadium shows, with an aesthetic revamp and an added few songs.

This is a 1111111/10 BANGER. The rave lover inside me just screams YASSSSS every time that beat drop kicks in. I am ALL for techno BLACKPINK going forward!!

Not getting my hopes up…but hopefully a new single.

WHERE ART THOU GAGA?!

It is so so frustrating being a little monster, because of how Gaga sometimes treats her campaigns. Everyday I wake up hoping she’s dropped something unexpected, but any hope now of anything until Wednesday is next to none. I’m still blasting ‘Mayhem’, especially ‘Garden of Eden’ the exact same as when the album came out. Something as magical as this album shouldn’t be allowed to be left to rot like this, but this is Lady Gaga we are talking about 🫠🫠🫣🫣.

Oh PLEASE and it would stop all the Monsters vs. Beyhive fan base drama.

This is absolutely awful planning on both Gaga and her team’s part. ‘Abracadabra’ is quite clearly finished and done, ‘Mayhem’ isn’t holding on its own as well with just the moment of the said song and it’s quite clear we need some sort of momentum push. Gaga has not actively pushed ANY of her eras as hard as she can since ‘Born This Way’. I get we need to take into consideration her health and all, but to go from going full on live performances to suddenly nothing (like even a radio single with a visualiser or something) is bizarrely strange. Why perform ‘Zombieboy’ on TUDUM (which did next to nothing on the charts), to not immediately impact the song on radio followed by a video release then that would nicely tie in with the August official push by ‘Wednesday’, just baffles me. I don’t want to sound like a negative Nancy but she & her team really don’t do themselves any justice/favours and the backlash or the ‘eye roll’ from fans saying “oh look she’s gone all AWOL again”, isn’t exactly unjustified.

‘Abracadabra’ is collapsing nooo 😢😢

Alright I’ll give mother that, she’s cooking something as it’s clearly a conceptual hairstyle with the iPad giving me that Paris ‘Mayhem’ above the car sunroof teaser vibes. A deluxe is coming?!?! The hairstyle doesn’t scream ‘Zombieboy’ at all, it does fit a ‘How Bad Do U Want Me/Vanish Into You’.

I imagine the next #1 after that would be ‘Manchild’ quite comfortably.

I get the whole notion of “feeding the fans”, but almost every fan out there now is begging for her to do something regarding 3rd/4th single and she/her team just….doesn’t seem to be phased by it. I get her touring the world is the priority but there is clearly a gap between TUDUM and the first July show. Sabrina Carpenter made an album, a music video and released multiple songs in the midst of her also touring (yes I know Carpenter’s tours are not as extravagant and thoughtfully planned as Gaga, but using it as a mere example). ‘How Bad Do U Want Me’ was named as a Song of the Summer. At that point her team should’ve pushed a lyric video and the song to radios and Spotify playlists (and if a video comes after, great as it keeps the momentum up). Before that, it went viral with various celebrities using it on social medias so it should’ve been pushed with the album campaign as fast as they could (look at Taylor Swift’s 1989 TV era and how responsive the team was when they saw ‘Slut!’ wasn’t doing justice and quickly hopped to ‘Is It Over Now?’ 4 days into the album release). We get how ‘Vanish Into You’ was the one she wanted, but it’s clear the momentum now lies on ‘How Bad Do U Want Me’ from the general reception to it from the casual fan base/GP. The whole thing just FRUSTRATES ME! 😭

That is awful, waiting 6 months before the release of the next single??? What on earth is she/her team doing? I hope the rumour is false and there’s SOMETHING in the works before she kicks off ‘Mayhem Ball’ tour, because she’s not doing ‘Mayhem’ any justice right now.
