39. Aura average 7.60 Highest: 10 x 15 (@Mirwais Ahmadzaï @Verandi @Sanctuary @Maki @Music Is Life @Aidan @Remorque @Itty Bitty Piggy @Guy @soratami @abael @Sprockrooster @Alenko @elektroxx @nikkysan) Lowest: 2 x 4 (@Mushroom @Serg. @Robert @blissteria) And as the first taste of LG6 leaks, we eliminate the first taste we had of Artpop. Let's hope this new era turns out a little better, huh?

That she wrote this as a response to Kris Kobach's racist anti-immigration policies and he's still trying to terrorize people 9 years later by hitching his abhorrent wagon to the Trump administration...sigh. The wicked never rest.
I think Aura is pretty brilliant, but I never thought it'd make the top 60, let alone the top 40, so I'm not that mad about it leaving. That said, I'm very surprised about Americano leaving already! I thought it'd hold on a little bit longer.

An inessential Gaga track and yet look at the material. The range! The breeziness! The humor! Make this the entire blueprint for LG6 teebs. Is this the only time it was performed live? Tragic
It could have lasted a little longer but I’m happy Summerboy made it this far. It should have outlasted I Like It Rough though. That 1 though...
The last few eliminations. Just... wrong. To all of those who are responsible for them leaving way before they should:
Summerboy and Americano are both album highlights. Aura is an album low and should’ve gone a while ago.
Losing two tens back-to-back was painful, but "Summerboy" finally leaving softened the blow a little.
