This - it's definitely not bad but it's easily among the most faceless and dated-on-arrival songs Gaga has ever released.

Agreed!
The trek from Born This Way’s announcement till album release felt like a year, and Born This Way to ARTPOP was the longest 2 years of my life.

Revisited this masterpiece of a performance. I can't imagine how good she sounds on (especially on Marry The Night with that choreo).

One of my favourite Born This Way-era performances.
I can't believe it's eleven years since this.

The Cure was so DOA for me ddd. Like it’s… pleasant. But nothing else. I think I prefer Heal Me over it as there’s some coloring and extra elements on that one.
But the “moment” of her performing The Cure at fucking Coachella out of nowhere in the middle of Joanne? THAT was special and something I’ll cherish it forever. The best reason why I stayed up until 4am watching a livestream, ever. And I do wish there was a video for it as well. It was also the starting point of her transitioning from iTunes to Spotify/Streams.

No ducks for you for two weeks.
I really want Applause to get the Bloody Mary treatment, one of the most explosive choruses in her career.
YES. Applause will always be a fucking banger.
“and then this happened…”
I was expecting the whole audience to be singing along or dancing not one solitary cig flailing about as if it doesn't happen any where. Clickbait!
We need more gorgeous midtempos.
Was in denial about it and they were in regular rotation at the time, but now I weirdly hate all of the “pop” songs from A Star Is Born. They just don’t even register as Gaga songs for me. “Shallow” and “Always Remember” could literally, at least melodically and structurally, be guitar/piano demos for Born This Way or Joanne or even ARTPOP, and while “The Cure” is a little “faceless” sure, it’s soo catchy and charming, and even has a cute if somewhat devastating trademark Gaga myth/ origin story to go along with it.
