Lady Gaga - Mayhem

Not sure if this is an honest opinion or just meant to stir the pot, but saying Rihanna of all people has better ballads than Gaga is genuinely one of the wildest takes I've ever read in this forum.
?!?!?!

Do any of you actually remember Rihanna’s discography or are you just hyper on edge whenever I post in this thread?

Unfaithful
Rehab
Take A Bow
Russian Roulette
Cold Case Love
The Last Song
California King Bed
Drunk On Love
Diamonds
Stay
Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary
Never Ending
Love On The Brain
Close To You

Does Gaga even have ten ballads full stop let alone ten good ones?

Diamonds maybe if I squint. Nothing else on that list comes close.

I forgot about Stay though. That’s up there.

Good Girl Gone Bad
Cry

Some of the best songwriters in the game were rushing to write ballads for Rihanna. Gaga is not coming close. She ranks pretty low in that department. Just because she has the vocals does not make her ballads good (and I’d argue this is a factor that actually makes her forays into balladry worse because she’s unable to be truly emotive)
 
I actually don't think either Rih or Gorg are that great at ballads but these are classics and do blow Gaga's out of the water
Unfaithful
Russian Roulette
Cold Case Love
The Last Song
Love On The Brain

Of course Rih is the not main creator behind these, but the point stands.

I mean, I think that list is stretching what qualifies as a ballad a tad. Like Rehab, Drunk On Love and Love Without Tragedy are all fantastic but I wouldn't call any of them ballads. She does have some good ones like Russian Roulette, but you also have stuff like Unfaithful, Take A Bow, California King Bed, Stupid In Love, Stay, those recent soundtrack ones, so... definitely a lot more misses than hits. Gaga might not have a huge amount of ballads, but I do think most of them are enjoyable, and at least about a handful are genuine classics.

The implication that “Unfaithful” and “Stay” are anything but 10s… not to mention legitimate classics
