[Shoat]

I believe Mr Pop is evil

 

[K.C.]

Wasn's he supposedly closing his account or something?

 

[Christian]

If only we could say the same about Mr Pop (straight).

Meanwhile ABRA remains at No. 1 on the Suedehead BareBack SHART for another week (with a BULLET)

OMG at her doing song exploder. I need to listen immediately.

 

[wildchild]

I wish we could get the whole original beat that was played to her, probably pretty similar to what is in the end result but still.

#29 on Pitchfork's year end list with a great write-up

Lady Gaga: “Abracadabra”​

The joke among Little Monsters goes that Lady Gaga has made “Bad Romance” at least five times throughout her career. That may be true, but the fact that I love Goodfellas doesn’t mean I have to hate Casino. Over the course of 2025, it became clear that “Abracadabra” is one of Gaga’s best-ever singles, a psychedelically weird acid-techno rager that’s so nasty, so potent, that it makes “Bad Romance” sound like Kidz Bop. A friend once asked me of “Abracadabra,” in a cab, “So, you actually think this is good?” But the right question would have been: So, you want to hear this play twice a night in every gay club in the world for the rest of your life? Like the lyrics “Amor oo-na-na/Abra-coo-da-bra,” it’s a no-brainer. –Shaad D’Souza

Well it does not make Bad Romance sound like a "Kidz Bop", but good for them enjoying it.

For me, the comparison to BR is totally apt though: it felt like a proper event single in the proper Gaga tradition.

 

[K.C.]

Yeah I don't get the Kidz Bop reference either. She makes pleasant pop music. Trying to paint Abracadabra as being more "highbrow" than BR is just silly. Glad they're recognizing it though.

 

[Jark]

I think it's just a reference to the production going way harder.

 

[straightorbroken]

Abra is a matchstick to Bad Romance's bunsen burner.

 

[wildchild]

#29?!

[Pipo]

oh yes mother

 

[Iguana]

GRAMMY AWARD WINNING Abracadabra, thank you very much.

 

[straightorbroken]

Belatedly up to speed with that outfit being from the Grammys (I assumed it was from the tour). Not sure how I feel about it - it's rummaging through other people's treasures and having it be lapped up as your own. Song does demand something extra though - it's so fully loaded.

 

[Loufoque]

LG8 now

 

[Jark]

god the Abra performance was just exceptional. that vocal? I know her voice generally gets better on tour but fuck. and then the total FREAKOUT for the middle 8 onwards. gagged! this era truly is IT!

 

[Jark]

also that arrangement was sex. NEED it on spotify.
