What do you mean "all by herself", Venus was produced by Madeon and Nick Monson. Did you mean executive producer? cause that's a completely different thing than music production
@@jaykohootech Madeon and Nick Monson only did a bass arrangement for the song, which counts as playing an instrument instead of production. Gaga was passionate about the production of this record and used different elements including that bass arrangement. Did you buy the album? If you have it, go to the credits page on the booklet and you'll find that Gaga is the only person credited as the producer for this song.
@@jaykohootech awww little boy think he knows everything, if you had the album you'd see her as the only producer credited there. idgaf how long ago your comment was
Gaga actually said at a Gay club she told her producers to get their d*cks out of that song because her vag*na was going to produce it xddd and it made total sense because Venus or Aphrodite represents not only love and beauty but femininity, it is a symbol for women so, she wanted no men involved in that song xD she takes meaning and Art very seriously! 💖👌🏻🎨
Ive heard about this issue that she was banned in Indonesia and it was the same from Philippines that she was almost banned to have her concert in our country coz the religious community from our country was against her performing because the rumor of her being illuminati was circulating in our country and it's just sad, I think that was Born this way era (not sure)
@@blueproxy probably because of the hate this masterpiece received... Imagine having a second part to this album, with the same different kind of sound that apparently critics hated it! =( shame!
When Blake listened to the "I don't speak German, but I try" part from Gypsy, all I could think about was what his reaction to 'Scheiße' will be then 😂
"Donatella" is a commentary on celebrity culture and how she's perceived. The lyrics aren't so literal, she's taking what people say about her (And Donatella Versace) and spitting it back in peoples' faces. It's like a fake-brag.
Oh please. I am getting pretty sick of normies thinking millionaires and billionaires need the peasant classes to cape for them online..get a grip. That class sees YOU as swine, straight up, end of. Don't believe their expensive PR. Be intelligent. Please.

In my opinion, Joanne and The Star is Born Soundtrack are for the locals. For the people who refused to listen to her music because it was too weird/obscure and through those projects, they FINALLY listened to her other albums and realized that she’s a phenomenal artist.
Actually is the opposite. He said sometimes artists have to make silly lyrics in order to make a pop song, but Gaga is the only one who can sing anything she wants, she doesn't need to do a silly song
@@horrorfilled Its "I don't speak German but I try" in Gypsy, in Scheiße, its "I dont speak German but I can if you like". That line was to play off of that. The same goes for "Married to the night" which is obviously played off of Marry the Night.
I think most of Gaga fans, little monsters, LOVE a star is born but slightly get irritated when people suddenly are like “wow she can actually sing, wow she should stick to this music, omg this is her best work” because we all know she is that but her pop music is deeper than what the general public even know. It’s kind of like disrespectful for people to put her in a box and only want her to do that one thing.
Gaga has always been a powerhouse vocalist but since she makes pop music and is considered weird and over the top a lot of people didn’t take her seriously. I’m happy A Star is Born and her collaborations with Tony Bennet made people realize how talented she is, but she has been showcasing that for her entire career.
Exactly, let me take my Joanne hat off lol but seriously, is true! If only they could see the Art, the theater, the visuals, the artistic concept behind her earlier works, like dude, you don't even understand her genius and talent goes far beyond how good she can sing or how good she plays the piano, it's about her creativity doing surrealism and pop art in reverse and holy shit the way her mind works, creating, pushing boundaries, making people think and change their ways to follow her trend, because she was so ahead of everyone they had to keep up, the way she changed pop culture, nobody really gets it, artists and little monsters do.
It's so satisfying to see someone who actually understands this business showing some respect and appreciating this queen! I'm loving your Gaga reactions, please keep them coming! Next stop BORN THIS WAY
Rambl3On yes it may have not flopped because it’s Gaga after all and she is a mega star who will always sell... but it did not have the recognition it deserved... and it’s also sad that she couldn’t expressed the creative direction that she wanted with the album...
Being a Gaga superfan I always love how unpredictable she is. she will take you on a new journey with every era. A STAR IS BORN was so different from anything she's ever done and it was well executed because she got to show off her powerful vocal abilities. She's the most versatile artist of our generation and while that may sound biased I can't think of any artist who switches things up with every album and does it so well
There's literally TONS of artists who tackle multiple genres- Cher. David Bowie. Madonna. Being a Gaga superfan you are just blind to what's been done before her and want to believe she's this supremely original talent, when she's simply not. Not bashing her- she's quite talented, but not original in any way, shape, or form.
@@thevaultofvintage72 It's true. I love Gaga too, like I love Madonna. But Gaga was never original. She always copy the style of others, always did. Dance In The Dark was very Eurythmics, Alejandro & Sheisse were very Ace Of Base, Bloody Mary or Electric Chapel and even now Babylon are all very Madonna. Fashion Of His Love was very Whitney Houston. Should I go on ? She copy all the others artists styles but she often does it well, that's why it worked but you're right she's hardly original. But she has a very powerful and unique voice and she's a good lyricist. But her music was better with RedOne than without. Pity she doesn't work with him anymore.
@@thevaultofvintage72 I said she's the most versatile artist of OUR GENERATION. Compared to the artists of NOWADAYS. I know Madonna, Elton John, Bowie and many others were pioneers and paved the way for her to be her true self and express her originality. However I don't see many artists doing that, they all take the safe path and make albums that sound similar and you don't get to experience the evolution of their art because you already expect what they're gonna put out.
That note that she held on “Fashion!” it’s actually on a loop. On the demo version of this song she keeps repeating the the word “ethereal” until she holds it and then releases it just like in the track. Her vocals are pure perfection tho ♥️
A star is born is A BOP but not as good as born this way or chromatica. The slow songs like i'll never love again or always remember us this way are the best slow songs of her career. We have nothing but to stan a star is born album
commenting here cause its the top comment,Blakeee it is vogue that reminded you of babylon, just not the part you listened to, and it is inspired by it thats why she says money dont talk rip that song lol . Just type babylon and vogue on youtube .
Nor in your dreams will BTW be better than A Star Is Born, its 78 in Mediacritic over the 71 of BTW say it all. Her streaming adaptation, impact on the general public (not seen since The Fame Monster) and her well-rewarded success with awards makes her the best of Gaga second only to The Fame Monster.
to comment as a gaga fan since '08 hearing A Star Is Born... I think one thing was that it was not surprising to us because she had already dipped her toes into other genres including jazz when she first did a duet with Tony Bennett in 2011 during her Born This Way era and eventually an entire jazz album following this Artpop era in 2014. And she's always done piano acoustics of her songs since her first album. So when A Star Is Born hit (and perhaps even earlier with her Sound of Music medley at the Oscars), I think we were very proud (but not shocked in the way that other people saw her) since we knew her history. She also had always been vocal about wanting to be an actress (where she was bullied in high school because of these aspirations) and would speak about it in her concerts. So even the fact that she got to see that dream come true was really moving to us. Although I prefer her pop albums since it's my personal favorite genre, I still respect how much talent and work she puts into her other endeavors and I love listening to the soundtrack from time to time.
Blake, please do Born This Way, i love the fact that you hear every detail in each song, so im exited to know what are you gonna hear that i never heard before :P
As a sound engineer myself and as a fan of that woman for ages I know every detail of her discography so I am on Dope now and I am sure on the next track you will hear what you wanted from Dope to be, because next comes Gypsy. Let’s see. Edited: Told ya ;)
The thing with A Star Is Born is that it was obviously made to look like they were written by the character Ally, not Gaga, so that's why all of the songs sound so different from what she did before, and the pop songs were meant to keep getting more and more generic, like the first one was a pop neo soul song with all traditional instruments on Look What I Found and then it goes to Heal me which starts with electro sound and it goes until Why Did You Do That? having the tropical house sound that was so popular back in 2017 when the film was shot and that even Jackson criticized for having dumb lyrics, the pop songs were meant to show Ally being downgraded by her manager and to show how she and Jackson were distancing themselves, and even with that, Gaga's dumb pop songs were actually really good.
Actually you can hear how the vocal gets a little lost right before the end of that long note and it's faded into another one, which is actually the shorter vocal from the demo, so no, she didn't hold that note for that long on the album, they put two of her vocals together, but we all know she can do that, so it doesn't really matter :)
The thing is that with Gaga there is always a fierceness and her way of delivering her music and vocals no matter what style ... don’t forget that Gaga was more into rock than pop before the fame ... I always said that if she haven’t done music she could have been a painter or a poet or any artistic expression ...
The french part in Fashion! is sang by David Guetta, and the "Looking good and feeling fine" part is sang by Will I Am, both helped with the production
I love everything she does... Love a diverse artist who had a mixture of types. I too love a mix of things and its nice to have an artist that dips her toes in everything.
Dude your audio is insane. I’ve listened to Swine thousands of times and I’ve never even heard some of the hidden melodies like the “eight-bit” sounds in the pre chorus and the piano in the second verse.
Watching him react to ARTPOP is making me realize how ahead of its time the album was. I didn't really "get it" at the time but it really is peak "weird Gaga". ASIB was successfully executed with some of the best slow songs of Gaga's career, but the weird contrast between the more folk/rock songs and the glossy pop songs makes for a really dissonant experience.
You should do Aurora's "Infections of a different kind " and "A different kind of human". I really really curious about how you'd react to her music and her sound 👌🏻 It's a two part album. An absolute masterpiece in my opinion.
I remember stealing my brother's ipod and listening to Black Eyed Peas and being blown away by the layers in the songs. First time appreciating production quality versus just singing along.
ARTPOP is such a masterpiece, I also learned quite a bit from your input. I met her during this era because I had VIP to one of her shows in NY, she said her favorite song from the album is Applause. Thanks for the video!
I personally love the Star is born album! It’s great music, Albums like ARTPOP, Born This Way, The Fame Monster/The Fame, Chromatica will always be our classic Gaga favs but we also love her down to earth albums like ASIB, Joanne, Cheek to Cheek
And to answer your question, I really like "A Star is Born". A couple incredible songs like "Always Remember Us" and "Look What I Found", as well as some decent and (intentionally) hackneyed bops like "Heal Me" and "Why Did You Do That?" Gaga's work on that film served its various purposes extremely well.
That’s one of the things i love about Gaga - that she can switch genres and still be great at it. Watching her Enigma show in Vegas back-to-back with the Jazz & Piano just highlighted this.
Fashion! When she sings at the beginning "step into the room like it's a catwalk".. is almost the same as in let's dance by Bowie: "...to the song they're playing on the radio"... melody-wise
loving the vids and excited to hear the EP! just wondering if you're planning to bring back the full album reactions when you're not as crazy busy? 😂 i understand if theyre too much work but personally i think the longer videos are more enjoyable and a lot of albums hit better when listened all the way through. either way i'll keep watching and enjoying just my thoughts !!
omg, gypsy is so good, everytime i listen, it makes me cry because it's so hopeful to me... something i tend to lack in my own life. also, its so awesome watching you be so into the music, you've earned a new subscriber! love just sitting here enjoying an album with you!
A Star Is Born soundtrack was different but I loved it. She went to a different place as a writer, producer and with her singing, which is good because there was a difference between her and Ally. Great difference and that's what made me realise that she could not only act but how talented she really was
I was so excited for the second part of this review. Artpop might be my favorite Gaga album. I swear I kept refreshing your channel to see if the video was already up! Thank you. You are amazing and I really enjoy listening to you. I'm a fan.
I’m a big fan of the A Star is Born soundtrack. Always Remember Us This Way might even be my favorite song by her. Joanne isn’t that dissimilar to that album, as it was produced by almost all of the same people. You said you wanted Def Leppard style drums. Just my opinion but Born This Way has that energy. Even the Cover of her as a Motoaur is very Def Leppard style cover art piece. Give that listen if you get a minute,
A Star is Born is definitely in my top three albums alongside Chromatica and Born This Way. I believe it’s one of, if not the best, over-all work Gaga has released. What I like about it is still undeniably Gaga while being completely different from her typical Pop. Deserved album of the year
It’s so interesting to listen to your explanations and analysis. Makes me appreciate the production so much more, because now I know how much work and thought goes into all these little details 🤭
Awesome to hear your notes on the Gypsy lyrics and how they influence the production style - now I love the track even more 🙏🏻 Also please react to Do What U Want which was released with the album as Gaga originally intended - I don’t know why the Xtina version is not on there instead?
A Star Is Born has that big stadium effect like all of her music. That, to me, is what all her music embodies. That big, bold sound. So, though A Star Is Born is not my favorite, I can respect that movie and album for what it is because it is still Gaga.
I love this REVIEW SO MUCH! ARTPOP is my fav since the very first beginning and watching this is so incredible because you appreciate so much her music . For the record, she was ahead of that time. (She has said that )

On Gypsy, the saddest line of the lyrics is "Someday in Jakarta" because her BTW Ball Tour was cancelled due to lets just say "religion"
That song hurts in many levels.

Actually is the opposite. He said sometimes artists have to make silly lyrics in order to make a pop song, but Gaga is the only one who can sing anything she wants, she doesn't need to do a silly song
Mary Jane Holland is a song about weed. Probably they slowed down her voice on purpose to simulate the effect of the drug.
Those vocals are definitely full speed, there's just clever use of layering.
I think she wanted it to sound slurred
I love the ‘I think weed’ ad lib during the final chorus. Such a nice touches
It's not only about weed, it's also about her alter ego. And the things she felt during the BTW era.

The thing with A Star Is Born is that it was obviously made to look like they were written by the character Ally, not Gaga, so that's why all of the songs sound so different from what she did before, and the pop songs were meant to keep getting more and more generic, like the first one was a pop neo soul song with all traditional instruments on Look What I Found and then it goes to Heal me which starts with electro sound and it goes until Why Did You Do That? having the tropical house sound that was so popular back in 2017 when the film was shot and that even Jackson criticized for having dumb lyrics, the pop songs were meant to show Ally being downgraded by her manager and to show how she and Jackson were distancing themselves, and even with that, Gaga's dumb pop songs were actually really good.
to be completely honest, she could write a diss track about me and i would still love it
Yess omg didn’t expect this so soon!
Odds on his wardrobe only having nice ass shirts in it
im like 80% sure that long note in "Fashion!" is strategically looped hahaha
Even if it was, many fans know that she's able to do it without loops
@@rurumadd she never did during artRave, but maybe!
If you listen to Bang Bang live performance, you can say that she can do the same shit on fashion without loop.
it was! th-cam.com/video/8gNw04Qilik/w-d-xo.html here's the demo of Fashion!
Actually you can hear how the vocal gets a little lost right before the end of that long note and it's faded into another one, which is actually the shorter vocal from the demo, so no, she didn't hold that note for that long on the album, they put two of her vocals together, but we all know she can do that, so it doesn't really matter :)
The thing is that with Gaga there is always a fierceness and her way of delivering her music and vocals no matter what style ... don’t forget that Gaga was more into rock than pop before the fame ... I always said that if she haven’t done music she could have been a painter or a poet or any artistic expression ...
this ARTPOP reaction is everything. my favorite album of all time, it was just ahead of it's time
I agree! I LOVE ARTPOP. It is one of my top favorite Gaga albums
The french part in Fashion! is sang by David Guetta, and the "Looking good and feeling fine" part is sang by Will I Am, both helped with the production
Actually, it was Will.i.am who sang in French 🤔
Dude, it was will.I.am who sang in French part
@@matiasnc343 totally true!
I love everything she does... Love a diverse artist who had a mixture of types. I too love a mix of things and its nice to have an artist that dips her toes in everything.
Dude your audio is insane. I’ve listened to Swine thousands of times and I’ve never even heard some of the hidden melodies like the “eight-bit” sounds in the pre chorus and the piano in the second verse.
React SAWAYAMA by Rina Sawayama AND Ungodly Hour by Chloe X Halle
yes please!
yes yes
I support. Definitely two of the top 5 best pop albums of the year. Chromatica, Future Nostalgia, Manic and these two
Discos do ano
Yes to both of these!!!!
Her and RuPaul singing Fashion! is one of my favorite things ever!!!!
Especially with the condomesque headpiece
Gypsy is such a blessing to humanity
Everytime it makes me cry. Dope is supposed to be the emotional song but Gypsy is the real one.
YES IT IS
Cobbiant Miguel sameee I always play it after IWBWY and the combo is MORTAL
Both dope and gypsy is such a great song
Watching him react to ARTPOP is making me realize how ahead of its time the album was. I didn't really "get it" at the time but it really is peak "weird Gaga". ASIB was successfully executed with some of the best slow songs of Gaga's career, but the weird contrast between the more folk/rock songs and the glossy pop songs makes for a really dissonant experience.
You should do Aurora's "Infections of a different kind " and "A different kind of human". I really really curious about how you'd react to her music and her sound 👌🏻 It's a two part album. An absolute masterpiece in my opinion.
45:55 I'm almost 99% sure that it's the first note of “Look What I Found”
Let’s say 100% sure
I HEARD THAT TOO 🤩😍💯💖🔥🎶
Look What I Found 45:55 👀💯👌🏻🔥🎶💖
Please react to BORN THIS WAY ALBUM by LADY GAGA
YES, PLEASEE !!
YEEES HER BEST ALBUM
@@nglkao7716 talk for you
@@kodi2701 HER BEST ALBUM
Ngl Kao Artpop is her best album
I loooooved the A Star Is Born Soundtrack. I always wanted pop ballads from Gaga and with that album she gave me everything that I wanted.
Props to Will.i.am for the production on “Fashion!” One of her best songs 👌🏻
I remember stealing my brother's ipod and listening to Black Eyed Peas and being blown away by the layers in the songs. First time appreciating production quality versus just singing along.
Him and David Guetta
@@fifiwozere what's your fave BEP song? I'm a bep Stan too
It’s very beautiful 😭😭😭
Omg finally, I was waiting like crazy for this. The way he enjoys her art it's just the validation that I needed ✨
ARTPOP FEELS SO RIGHT DURING THIS TIME WITH MORE ARTIST RELEASING MORE EXPERIMENTAL/FUTURISTIC POP ALBUM. SHE WAS TRULY TRANSCENDING THROUGH TIME!
I went to the Artpop Ball: ArtRave Tour and Swine just made you get lost in the beat and jump and sweat! Epic!
It hurts to see someone else living my dream 😭
@@freddypineda3939 lmao meee
“This is so weird, I don’t even know what to say sometimes” 💀😂
ARTPOP is such a masterpiece, I also learned quite a bit from your input. I met her during this era because I had VIP to one of her shows in NY, she said her favorite song from the album is Applause. Thanks for the video!
and also a video of u making a song from scratch would be rlly interesting
16:21 that's tea, gaga is always head of the curve, they be criticizing her and then be coping her after
I personally love the Star is born album! It’s great music, Albums like ARTPOP, Born This Way, The Fame Monster/The Fame, Chromatica will always be our classic Gaga favs but we also love her down to earth albums like ASIB, Joanne, Cheek to Cheek
I Went to this tour it was fffff AMAZINGGGGG, I was in my element i danced all night, and when she did swine the whole place rumbled it was AWESOME
And to answer your question, I really like "A Star is Born". A couple incredible songs like "Always Remember Us" and "Look What I Found", as well as some decent and (intentionally) hackneyed bops like "Heal Me" and "Why Did You Do That?" Gaga's work on that film served its various purposes extremely well.
That’s one of the things i love about Gaga - that she can switch genres and still be great at it. Watching her Enigma show in Vegas back-to-back with the Jazz & Piano just highlighted this.
you should listen to DO WHAT U WANT it's a song from Artpop but it was removed, there's a Xtina version and a solo version
I want him to listen to it so much
Lady Gaga paved the way for the Dula Peeps. Also, you should review Joanne, that seems more your cup of tea.
Fashion! When she sings at the beginning "step into the room like it's a catwalk".. is almost the same as in let's dance by Bowie: "...to the song they're playing on the radio"... melody-wise
In Mary Jane Holland she says “I think WEED have a good time” 😂 really clever
loving the vids and excited to hear the EP! just wondering if you're planning to bring back the full album reactions when you're not as crazy busy? 😂 i understand if theyre too much work but personally i think the longer videos are more enjoyable and a lot of albums hit better when listened all the way through. either way i'll keep watching and enjoying just my thoughts !!
ARTPOP is engineered that way.. Even a music producer can't predict it. 😂 😂
I think Born This Way will be your absolute vibe cuz of the pop rock influence.
The wonder and joy you show while experiencing this for the first time is so infectious!
Can you please react to Marina's album "Froot"? Their instrumentals are true masterpiece
Marina is lifeee!!!
Oooooh yes!
yesssss
That albums so good 😭💖
A drag queen said on this vid, joking, that the Joanne and Star is born phase was to draw back in the straight people lmao
😂
I’d love to watch you react to more Hyperpop like Charli XCX, Rina Sawayama, or SOPHIE
“Do want you want” is a deleted song of ARTPOP, it deserves to be react to pushing a side the drama behind it
if u think this is weird listen to OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES by sophie
Omg! That even tops artpop's weirdness hahah!
omg pleeeaase
It would make my life if he analyzed that album! ❤️
up
THE WAY I WOULD LET BLAKE TALK AND TALK FOR HOURS JUST TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND TEACH ME ABOUT MUSIC 😭 HE IS A GENIUS
omg, gypsy is so good, everytime i listen, it makes me cry because it's so hopeful to me... something i tend to lack in my own life. also, its so awesome watching you be so into the music, you've earned a new subscriber! love just sitting here enjoying an album with you!
Blake: You never know where her songs are going...
Little Monsters: WE KNOW, RIGHT????
A Star Is Born soundtrack was different but I loved it. She went to a different place as a writer, producer and with her singing, which is good because there was a difference between her and Ally.
Great difference and that's what made me realise that she could not only act but how talented she really was
I was so excited for the second part of this review. Artpop might be my favorite Gaga album.
I swear I kept refreshing your channel to see if the video was already up! Thank you. You are amazing and I really enjoy listening to you. I'm a fan.
I’m a big fan of the A Star is Born soundtrack. Always Remember Us This Way might even be my favorite song by her. Joanne isn’t that dissimilar to that album, as it was produced by almost all of the same people. You said you wanted Def Leppard style drums. Just my opinion but Born This Way has that energy. Even the Cover of her as a Motoaur is very Def Leppard style cover art piece. Give that listen if you get a minute,
Freddy Newton always remember us this way is the best on the soundtrack it’s truly amazing!
A Star is Born is definitely in my top three albums alongside Chromatica and Born This Way. I believe it’s one of, if not the best, over-all work Gaga has released. What I like about it is still undeniably Gaga while being completely different from her typical Pop. Deserved album of the year
You guys have no idea how much i love Fashion!. After 7 years this song keeps making me so happy.
Omg same! Now that's taste
The way he gets so excited breaking down her music is so cute 🙇🏻💖
NOOOOO WHERE DID PART 1 GO 😭😭😭
It’s so interesting to listen to your explanations and analysis. Makes me appreciate the production so much more, because now I know how much work and thought goes into all these little details 🤭
Awesome to hear your notes on the Gypsy lyrics and how they influence the production style - now I love the track even more 🙏🏻
Also please react to Do What U Want which was released with the album as Gaga originally intended - I don’t know why the Xtina version is not on there instead?
A Star Is Born has that big stadium effect like all of her music. That, to me, is what all her music embodies. That big, bold sound. So, though A Star Is Born is not my favorite, I can respect that movie and album for what it is because it is still Gaga.
Gaga had an overdose on creativity when making ARTPOP 💖
She sure did
I love this REVIEW SO MUCH! ARTPOP is my fav since the very first beginning and watching this is so incredible because you appreciate so much her music . For the record, she was ahead of that time. (She has said that )
Can you react to “El Mal Querer” by ROSALIA? i’m pretty sure you’ll love it 👍🏽
Yes pls
Yes!yes!yes!
Yeees yes yeeess
yes!!!
I waited all weekend for this video! Cannot wait for the "Born This Way" reaction video :)
