Tony Montana · 20-03-2019, 01:31 PM

Hmm probably not tbh, not really digging Ari that much in 2019. Rih is more likely

Lowest-ranked Joanne track

I feel a certain sense of guilt in ranking Grigio Girls second-last out of eighty-four damn songs. It has a beautiful sentiment, devoted to her friend Sonja who has since passed away, and other female pillars in her life, and the above video is a lovely homage for that.

However, I just find that despite the uplifting message of the song, the melody, production, and even Gaga's vocals manage to make Grigio Girls so uninspiring. I must praise the lyricism, but somehow I have never been able to connect with this song, and find it entirely skippable.

I declare this rankdown cancelled

78. Jewels N Drugs (feat. TI, Too $hort, Twista) // ARTPOP (track 5) // 2013

Youtube video

Lowest-ranked ARTPOP track

Jewels N Drugs is probably the biggest damn mess in Gaga's career but it's good fun. I just can't take it seriously as a 'good song'. I still don't know if she's really saying "slap honey on a young pancake" ?????

I honestly don't have much to say about JnD. The production is bombastic... the track is quite a ride. But I'm quite happy to discard it in my bottom 10.

She proved with this track her Artpop really CAN mean anything

77. Again Again // The Fame (track sixteen) // 2008

Youtube video

The above video is a GOLDEN Gaga artefact of her performing this in 2006. Again Again is a cute little bonus track which rounds off The Fame. Her vocals are so lovely on this. I love the "when we were hooking up... yeah he'd never... LAST" line. Such a lovely little track. The only problem is it's just kind of forgettable, particularly as a closer to The Fame.

76. Teeth // The Fame Monster (track eight) // 2009

Youtube video

Lowest-ranked The Fame Monster track

This is a very inventive track; the cannibalistic imagery is very in-keeping with the Monster theme of the album, and the production/melody is very unlike any other song by her. Teeth however just doesn't stack up to the other The Fame tracks. Of the non-single TFM tracks, Monster is a fully-fledged BOP, Speechless has honestly kind of forged itself into a 'single' and SHICD is ecstasy, and Teeth doesn't do the same thing for me. It's just a kind of novelty track tacked on the end of an otherwise iconic body of work.

Spoiler:

Well, that leaves ASIB as the only album that has not had a song fall out of the rankings yet

TomC · 20-03-2019, 08:11 PM

75. Electric Chapel // Born This Way (track 14) // 2011

Youtube video

This is probably the last track I don't care for that much. Electric Chapel is atmospheric, sure, and very in-keeping with the general sound of Born This Way, but it's just so much less iconic, memorable. The guitar and bass is pretty cool, but I just find it quite monotonous. In a similar kind of thing to Boys Boys Boys, I just feel that the components of Electric Chapel are done better on different BTW tracks.

74. I Like It Rough // The Fame (track 5) // 2008

Youtube video

This is getting really hard now

I've bopped to I Like It Rough, I bop to her now, and I will continue to bop to her! One of Gaga's many iconic masturbation bops. It's so easy to scream along to! It does, however, sound a wee bit dated, and that is why it comes out now.

73. Donatella // ARTPOP (track 10) // 2013

Youtube video

Donatella is easy to listen to, but my GOD the lyrics are... not her best. Someone pointed out that she transitioned from singing about LGBT empowerment to...
"Walk down the runway, but don’t puke
It’s okay
You just had a salad today
Boulangerie
Just ask your gay friends their advice
Before you...
Get a spray tan on holiday
In Taipei"
Honestly what was she thinking

She said of the track "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.” I don't think she quite captured that with the lyrical contents of Donatella.

That being said, it's a fun track, and it's just so ARTPOP.

72. Disco Heaven // The Fame (track 15) // 2008

Youtube video

Honestly, I really enjoy Disco Heaven. It perhaps verges a little on 'filler' compared to the rest of her discography, but it captures disco so effortlessly, and it's just such a breezy, feel-good track that is a nice way to round off The Fame.

I adore the spoken-word segment: "A line up for the dance/Yeah bring those fancy pants/Y'know there's disco in the air/And hairspray everywhere"

Daniel. · 21-03-2019, 03:34 PM

Donatalla and Electric Chapel are two of the better ones

You suck

reece(: · 21-03-2019, 03:38 PM

The lack of Hoeanne/Auntie Ga Is Born out is saddening!

TomC · 21-03-2019, 03:40 PM

71. Heal Me // A Star Is Born (track 11) // 2018

Youtube video

Lowest-ranked A Star Is Born track

I don't mean to criticise Heal Me, with it being my lowest-ranked ASIB track. I just find it slightly less interesting and dimensional than the others... and in terms of the 'pop' tracks from the soundtrack, WDYDT and HBF are much more fun.

Honestly, Heal Me is a superior version of The Cure. And unlike The Cure, Heal Me actually comes with a story. It's the first song from the film where Ally has transitioned to a popstar, and it has a melancholic undertone, because for me this is where the decline of Jackson and Ally's relationship begins.

The production is breezy and mellow... and "I wanna be more or equal, not less/I wanna feel happy with someone/I wanna feel blessed" is a MOMENT.

70. Diggin' My Grave (with Bradley Cooper) // A Star Is Born (track 8) // 2018

Youtube video

Diggin' My Grave is a brilliant, high-energy country-rock track. Gaga's screaming rockstar vocals are just a moment. Honestly, I wish she'd done something like this on Joanne. The problem is, DMG isn't as memorable as most other songs on the soundtrack - honestly, I wish this song had a bigger role in the film.

The swine fest version is so much better than the studio version bc the intro is everything

I was low key disappointed when that cough and “FROM ACROSS THE POND T.I! THEY WOULDNT LET HIM INTO THE COUNTRY POOR THING” (

) wasn’t in the studio version

69. Angel Down // Joanne (track 11) // 2016

Youtube video

Angel Down has a lovely message, and the production really sets a scene. I honestly haven't played it much since the months after Joanne came out. Maybe some day I'll rediscover Angel Down, but right now, I have very little interest in it, and almost find it a bit twee.
