Thank you all for voting! I didn't anticipate this much participation and it was genuinely interesting to see how everyone scored everything and the sheer variety of what we all turn to Gaga for. There were some nice surprises (no song received below a 10, even the Jazz era! You really like her!) and I'm looking forward to how fun the results will be. Will the first elimination be a jazz song, a Star is Born, or her foray as a hook girl?

Let's kick things off, shall we?

Music To My Eyes
(average: 4.46)
Highest Score: 10 x 1 (@PushyBakerFriend)
Lowest Score: 0 x 3 (@Mirwais Ahmadza, happiestgirl, @Cundy)

Even a perfect score from Kiefer's missing votes wouldn't save this one. Uneventful and easily overshadowed by some of the other understated moments on this soundtrack. Y'all weren't really here for it either, barely receiving any votes above the 6 range, a ton of 3 orlower scores kept this towards the bottom throughout voting. There wasn't much to say about it either, which, I can't blame you.
"So gross and cheesy from the first line. Even Gaga coming in before 1:42 couldn't save this" @daninternational sums up. @R27 calls it "Painfully inoffensive" and @jtm agrees "I was wondering if she was going to start singing at some point. A bit on the boring side". @Sprockrooster calls it "A drag". "
I mean... Wutthafeckesthes is literally Bradley's voice put into words. These points are for Gaga's performance.@Remorque grants it a 4 anyway. @Phonetics Boy kicks off misandryJustice "Bradley's so damn corny." "I would appreciate it with a different male singer. I don’t think Bradley’s voice meshes well with Gaga’s." – @Petit nain des Îles says. Tell that to the two Oscar noms they got for the soundtrack, sweaty. Let's close out with @Laurence "This is just not it, bye."



 
Let's get Manicure out first then.

ddd honestly if you had asked me when ARTPOP dropped, or a year or two after what I thought of Manicure, I would have told it was offensively shit. But returning it for this rate it is... not bad? The hooks and melodies are there, although the vocals/production/lyrics are a bit too cheesy. I wont be seeking it out anytime soon but it has aged more gracefully than the likes of Donatella or Mary Jane Holland are the truly disastrous Swine.
 
she/her
Music To My Eyes always starts off with me wanting to skip but if I can make it past that first part, their harmonies together are lovely.
Yeah I agree with this, parts of it are actually lovely. And as you'll all find out, turns out I really enjoy a lot of Gaga's acoustic and slow stuff.

That said, I have no real strong feelings about it leaving first.
 
I don't even remember how the proper version of MANiCURE goes as I've been listening to mixes and edits since it premiered. But somewhere there is a good song.
