don't mean to be that person but my commentary seems to have got lost in the shuffle...
...but yeah, most of christmas music just triggers me these days. Sorry not sorry for that 0.

Finally!81.
Christmas Tree
Can't believe this escaped the bottom 5 and managed to surpass a song from "The Fame".
It's my lowest score in the entire rate (a 4,5) and I really don't get the fuss about it. Objectively, it's just an overly superficial and cheap song, with nothing artistic about it. The production is so dated, too.
I love Christmas (and am quite indifferent towards Christmas music), but this song is just not good.
Also, the video linked isn't the official version (neither is the video), because there is an extra (most likely fan made) verse, which actually sounds nice. This is the original version:
That top comment:
Yeah, it has that classic tongue-in-cheek lyrical style of early Gaga, but that doesn't mean that every song in that manner is great.
Iconic artwork, though.
I'm still not sure whether some of those 10's are serious or not.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised it gets that many 10s. It's comparable to the rest of the songs y'all gave 10s to?
yes
Come on. Even for a Christmas song it's fucking atrocious!

Oops, apologies, this’ll be fixed going forward. Thanks for pointing it out!

I love Christmas Tree, but probably did force too many people to keep playing it too.
That weird demo thing though with MILK AND COOKIES, FOR YOU AND MEE...
We probably never find out how real it is or so.
In other news. There is one specific unreleased I still desire to get my hands on. You all know it.

"Christmas Tree" is better than all of A Star Is Born and ARTPOP.

I get people to don't rate the same way, but to have Christmas Tree ranked anywhere near the likes of Bad Romance on a ballot is unthinkable.
This was the perfect spot for a tag for me and my commentary because that was exactly what it was.
Don't worry I just slid myself in there now.
If I had to hand out my rate scores based on "I desperately want to give this bonus song a 10, but many years ago I also gave [insert amazing pop single here] a 10, so I'm not sure if the 10 I want to give out right now is truly a 10, but more, like, a 9.999", then I'd never get any scores done.

Ddd I actually don't really care how people rate or what their system is. I just know that last year in the BPG Rate someone posted something like 'Remember everyone, when you've rated all the albums, look back at your 10s and see if they all make sense when rated against each other!'.
Which is pretty solid advice.
By all means, do you.

Worth being mindful there’s 100 participants in the rate so individual methodologies don’t matter too much.
But then I’m on the “likes to use the full range” wagon so I would say that wouldn’t I.
(except for zero because I read the guidance ddd)
