I would’ve loved this to be released as a bonus single. Although I can see how it didn’t fit with the rest of the album, it’s a great stand alone single.

My ears are burning up! You sure like to talk a lot! I heard about all the things you said! Your ears are burning up! Talk is cheap but costs a lot! I Heard about all the things you said! Should have kept that in the song♥️♥️💯🙌🏾
I just wish the album could’ve been more like the demos. It’s all so Gaga and weird and funky in her way. The final product I love a lot but it felt so scrubbed of that classic grittier, more exciting Gaga essence. Idk. I won’t complain bc I’m happy with the album, I just can’t help but lament on what could’ve been with this album. I think Gaga needs to super lean into herself and her creativity like she used to, but completely ditch her former expectations of being marketable or popular in music. I think now it seems she’s shooting for relevancy which in turn is making her fall short. Idk. Love her! I just want her to give what she is capable of giving- I don’t want diet Gaga.
@@D3V_Official *This one is a demo, meaning the audio quality is bad - you have to imagine it as if it were finished. Also, the album version is too commercial... This one is more Bowie-like*
I love all versions of this song. The sad thing is that this song is not getting much appreciation, which I don't understand. This is a great track, very Gaga, and yet, not getting enough streaming or support from fans? Can someone explain why this song is not getting good reception? Plus, personally I wish Miss Lady Gaga would promote this song in a big way!!!
Late but better than never : Easy answer. People are tired man.. Fan have been asking SINCE the promo on tiktok and stuff, for this version. This version alone. And it was always news from X ou Y website, or a certain famous forum (no shade) that was always saying "Yeah no worries guys, I was at an early allbum listening and the song was like the one on the houselab/tiktok version" or "Wait for the remix album".. Also bloodpop totally messed up with theirs messages on social media and the global BS about artpop part 2. The hype died. A long with the constant BS. And that is somehow deserved. But still, the demo leaked (How convenient), and this time around.. it is the version the fan have been asking for months if not a couple years now. Bruuuh..
THIS. This is the essence Gaga wanted to originally capture for this song. I have a theory that Gaga wanted to “rip off” Bowie initially, but since his family rejected her use of the sample she went to “rip off” Madonna instead, which is why I think the whole direction of this song completely changed!
2:39 “Talk is cheap”?? Was that a Madonna reference?? 🎶Don’t explain yourself ‘cause TALK IS CHEAP there’s more important things than hearing you speak🎶 #Sorry
A los fans de Madonna les llena de orgullo que comparen a Gaga con Madonna, 🤡 Esperan más emocionados lo que haga Gaga que lo que hace Madonna🤡🤡🤡 Y el sample que Gaga utiliza en Babylon, Madonna lo copió primero de la canción "my boss" de Linda di franco 🤡🤡🤡
Im not an English speaker and even me knows that “talk is cheap” is an expression used for someone who’s boastful. Originating from a play from the 1783 according to google! Probably written by Madonna. She’s that old? 😂😂😂
@@nicoloedoardoa you do realize other producers worked on this song to GAGAS idea? Gaga scrapped this, bloodpop didn’t. Gaga made the final version to what was in her mind, not bloodpop.
This is the real pure and true early version that leaked with the "battle for your life babyLONNN" part in a higher pitch
when we told bloodpop we wanted the haus labs version this is what we meant
It samples Bowie but it wasn’t cleared because Bowies’s son didn’t approve it
@@souldrips He's so spiteful, she's better than he will ever be he isn't even Bowie so how can he make the decisions? Pathetic.
@@souldrips he’s such a piece of shit, still salty about her tribute performance? What a cunt
@@uilliam6926 get over yourself girliepop, he's still David f##ng Bowie no matter what
@@Tina-pl7qi girl they were talking about bowies son
If she would’ve kept the bridge and put it on the album version it would’ve shaken the masses
there is actually a mix of this bridge and the album version somewhere (I only saw it on tiktok) and its actually KILLING IT
"talk is cheap but costs a lot" 2:37 I felt that
The fact that we have this is a blessing and every day we wake up and get to hear it is a treasure.
2:28-2:45 whaaaat it's stunning!!
The bridge is perfect 💗⚔️ I wish they added it into the final song tho.
i agree 😭😭😭😭
It's very interesting how much this sounds like a David Bowie demo! Like I can't be the only one that hears Bowies influence.
I think it uses a Bowie sample. According to another commenter idk much abt him 😅
she has like 3 songs sampling this same song by bowie but she always changes it.
David Bowie “Fame” is the song.
and Madonna "Vogue"
DEFINITELY. That guitar lick is VERY Bowie. The "my ears are burning up" toward the end is giving me Artpop vibes also and I'm not mad about it 😃
I would’ve loved this to be released as a bonus single. Although I can see how it didn’t fit with the rest of the album, it’s a great stand alone single.
I was reborn on 2:28
This is My favorite version ❤️
I can’t stop jiving to this!
_"Washee strae fo' kee en kween"_ -Lady Gaga
What does she say because that doesn’t come up in google translate.
Cuz wtf is she sayin 😆
Watch it shape our King and Queen, Hymn.
@@jamie1449 no
I knew it was supposed to sound like this! so happy was waiting for a full leak eventually :D
The fact that I’ve been waiting for this since 2020 😭
There could 100 babylon's demos in a room...
Dude 2:28 this part is GOD
This is SO BOWIE 🎉❤
The bridge is so AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG 😍
Some demos are so much more pure and cool then the final versions. It feel like going back in time with that style. Even with the fame demo
“What should shape a king or queen” 👀🔥
I remember when this leaked in early 2020 like in January or February, such a nostalgic year
Damn i live that but Artpop era, when Aura/Burqa happend, and that make me feel old 😂 and i'm 26

I would love to a Gaga show where she plays the demo versions of her songs
esta version debeia a ver estado en el remix album

I would have love this version on The Fame Monster
I don't think it fits The Fame Monster. I think it fits Born This Way more.
@@Wizard608Fr
@@Wizard608 Neither, this song screams ARTPOP. Put it between Fashion and Donatella
@@MARTPOP it's too anthemic to sound like an ARTPOP song
Yeyyyyy
2:28 ♡♡♡♡🔥🔥🔥🔥
BABALYON ❤
LG7 IS COMING
This is really cool, but I'm glad they changed it because the released version sounds better and is more catchy
Mmm I don’t know, personally I prefer the smooth and beat savvy funkiness of this version 😎

Where can I download it? 🤩
share the download link please 😭
Me downloading it
Is this real? Waaay better than the original version, oh my Gaga
why oh why did she change it?!!!!!!!!
THIS. This is the essence Gaga wanted to originally capture for this song.
I have a theory that Gaga wanted to “rip off” Bowie initially, but since his family rejected her use of the sample she went to “rip off” Madonna instead, which is why I think the whole direction of this song completely changed!
That actually makes so much sense
Yes! This song is about gossip but aslo about fame. So it makes a lot o sense to sample "Fame" by Bowie.
you have a mind of a mastermind
Gaga admitted influenced by both heavily. So what you said might actually make sense
Yup “rip that song”
¿Por qué no dejaron esta parte? 😭 2:28
YES. WHY?????
It samples game by David Bowie 😊
Pretty sure she sampled "Fame" in that song though and not the song that you're thinking of, babe.
@@DADDYCHAD875 lol meant fame
i’m failing to see what y’all saw in this lol. the album version goes off and actually fits into the album.
Yeah, agreed. Every demo version of Babylon that people tend to lose their minds over just sounds really noisy and messy to me.
Any idea what she says at the very beginning??
Sounds like “Oh let’s just, oh let’s just, strut it out” or “Oh that’s just, oh that’s just”. Could be wrong but that’s what it sounds like to me.
It's "Oh, dancist"
Guys remember when she became a _Dentist_ 👀
Old bastards
2:39
“Talk is cheap”??
Was that a Madonna reference??
🎶Don’t explain yourself ‘cause TALK IS CHEAP there’s more important things than hearing you speak🎶 #Sorry
Yes with the Madonna thing cause official version has hints of “Vogue”
A los fans de Madonna les llena de orgullo que comparen a Gaga con Madonna, 🤡

Y el sample que Gaga utiliza en Babylon, Madonna lo copió primero de la canción "my boss" de Linda di franco 🤡🤡🤡
Im not an English speaker and even me knows that “talk is cheap” is an expression used for someone who’s boastful.
Originating from a play from the 1783 according to google!
Probably written by Madonna. She’s that old? 😂😂😂
Guys what does she say about a king and queen? 😭
i think she says "what could shape for king and queen?"
It’s either “watch me play for king and queen” or “watch the play for king and queen” that’s what I hear
My guess is “Watch him (or ‘em) change from king and queen”
0:55
0:52
Why does it sound like fancy pants? Lol
Am I the only one that prefers the album version? This version sounds too much like a Bowie Reject.
So good, but they would have had to pay Bowie's estate out the ass for the "Fame" sampling
BloodP*p ruined this masterpiece
BloodPop created and produced this masterpiece sooo…
@@ProjectJoanne burns produced first, but bl**dpop ruined it later
All I have to say is that Gaga approved of the final version 🤷♂️
@@ProjectJoanne cause she thinks he wants the best for her… it is proved he clearly don’t. He want the best for HIMSELF
@@nicoloedoardoa you do realize other producers worked on this song to GAGAS idea?
