Yeah thought about doing that one too, but thought it was a bit of a stretch...but glad it stood out enough for you

Thanks! Although for this one I made a rule to only compare songs across albums. Maybe I'll do a follow-up one without that rule (e.g. Born This Way reference in HML)

Ok part II of the polling of opinions on cross-references in Gaga's discography. Some are duplicates among polls. Comment with any I missed/you think should be included

Also I found it interesting that she brought up anti-racism but her answer sounded shallow and more aligned with the "not racist" narrative rather than her taking the extra step and calling out the recent acts of racial injustice and even admitting where she might have been misguided in the past such as with the Harajuku girls which she brought back into one of the most recent music videos. I know we discussed this before and I'm not a POC, but the whole thing still doesn't sit well for me and I don't think the quote from the article (below) helps her case: "We were very inspired by the ska movement that happened in the ’70s. It was all about anti-racism, that’s why they wore checkerboards — black and white, everything was about unity. When we were kids, we just caught onto that and thought it was really cool. During quarantine when… there was this whole racism conversation going on again, I was just thinking a lot about my youth.”

Thanks for sharing that article @Franch Toast! You and @blankpaper have really made me interested in Gwen again. Even if a reunion with No Doubt is not looking likely, how do you feel about the upcoming album, now that it is confirmed? I applaud her for giving it another go, instead of "hanging up the hat." Seems like she is doing it more for the fans at this point

I don't agree but at least you are being discrete

another good tip unless I can manage to listen to ASIB again

but good approach, might need to follow suit. At the same time, I wondering if I should be more diverse in my ratings this time around....I tend to just go off the letter grade system

Yes, it is on the schedule for July but thought it was coming up sooner just now lol but I made sure that it would be after all of yours

Yes to that although we could have used your boost in The Fame megarate. We lost to Poker Face

@Anveeroy are we skipping Joanne? I'm planning to do an unreleased song megarate after your supermegarate and had a mini heart attack cause I'm not ready yet but I thought it was coming up sooner than expected

Here is a fun twist on the vs game. For which song does the given phrase work better or is more iconic in your opinion?

Yikes that must have been scary! Glad your sister is okay though. Hopefully your employer will also pay for your time if you need to travel?

Well at least you know it won’t be J&J! Luckily I was able to see which vaccine when scheduling an appointment over the weekend and decided that the extra travel time to get Pfizer was worth it over getting J&J at a closer location (I was already having doubts after the first Q/A snafu) so dodged a bullet there

Getting my first Pfizer shot on Friday! So yes?

Pretty satisfied with the results though especially given how close #6-11were. Thanks @Anveeroy! You’ve definitely built up excitement for the big one!

Ah @Franch Toast we lost our dog friend @little legend betrayed us

Switching to the dark side of mega rate rating?

How I felt after the number of times she featured her BDR performances in the early Gagavisions

Agreed that that title def goes to Speechless (sorry ASIB fans)

Yes truly underrated and overlooked in that regard. Everyone thinks of Speechless as the first Gaga ballad

Justice for I Like it Rough but I guess for a song that never saw the light of day it’s placement is not bad

Just catching up but here for the finale Although I already know I’ll receive backlash for being basic with my 11

the way you and me have different memories of Applause. I had no idea the drag show lyric video existed
