Hold My Hand (from Top Gun Maverick)

(God I hate Dope so much! )

It can't be any worse than Shallow.

What an abysmal RACKET.

I know this opinion is out of step with Mopsy & indeed the GP, but I couldn't agree more and, might I add, show me the lie?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

To be honest I'm not really here for Lady Balladga in general. She's not my girl.
Is 'Hair' a ballad? I like that.
I suppose 'Always Remember Us This way' is also sweet.
But that's about it.

 

[Loufoque]

Like flies on… multiple Oscars

Trust the original ARTPOP deniers to come out in force in anticipation of the biggest movie song since My Heart Will Go On

 

[Loufoque]

Let’s face it, The Edge of Glory and Gypsy are ballads, but we just heard the remixes first!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Gaga ballads are fine.

But I have full faith that a power ballad from her will finally replace I Will Always Love You as the world's favourite movie song.

Good to keep expectations reasonable

Lady Gaga Ballad Top 4

1. Hold My Hand (Hopefully)
2. Speechless
3. Shallow
4. You and I

If Hair counts, it would be my number 2, but I don't really think of it as a ballad.

 

[Loufoque]

1 Always Remember Us This Way
2 Yoü & I
3 Sinner’s Prayer
4 Joanne (Piano Version)
5 Million Reasons

Obviously, Hold My Oscar will be #1 by next weekend

[Cerro de Casa]

WE NEED THAT JOANNA STYNC (Stan Sync)

 

[RJN]

I don’t think I ever listened to Joanne or the Star is Born Soundtrack

 

[OutSynk]

I pretty much hated all of her The Fame/Monster ballads but this unreleased one is amazing.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Is speechless a ballad? I like that but I don’t think it’s a ballaaaad??

 

[Jark]

Speechless is pure ballad vibes! and she's shit!

 

[Funky]

I mean it's a power ballad from the '80s. I get zero new wave vibes but admittedly it's a 10 second snippet, so maybe Funkette La Forchette has heard the whole thing?

It’s clearly a Berlin pastiche. Berlin were new wave.

It was a hopeful comment don’t take everything so literally, JAN

Which is basically Brown Eyes?

 

[Funky]

All this talk of Gaga balladry and no mention of Before I Cry which is clearly one of her best ever songs and one of the best power ballads this side of Leonardo Dicaprio falling to a watery grave

You all need new ears

Except it isn’t

oh I forgot Before I Cry. that is indeed her best ballad. ICONIQUE!!!

 

[Beverley]

Except it isn’t

Except the verses clearly crib from it

 

[POP!]

Does "Bloody Mary" count as a ballad? I'm pretty sure that's the only one I like

 

[Phoenix]

Is Bad Romance a ballad?

 

[joanne]

Gaga can do Easy on Me & Hello, but can Fadele do a Highway Unicorn (Roadway to Love) or Applause?

anyway where are you all hearing Hold My Hands? I can't find it on Spotify!

 

[joanne]

Is Bad Romance a ballad?

it's a bop and I'm happy for it but the Bad Romance (Live at Rainbow Room) performance is one of the greatest ballads of all time!

​

 

[joanne]

FUCKING FUCK ME

 

[GNL]

Speechless is pure ballad vibes! and she's shit!

Never talk again

 

[GNL]

I love Gaga's drunk-at-the-piano ballads more than her ASIB tearjerkers. They've just got a bit more GRIT.

 

[Marilyn]

 

[passthatdutch]

Sounds like a smash on first listen.

 

[Diddy]

I felt a disturbance in the force, if lovely @Marilyn is posting the T2 GIF then I need to get on this

 

[Phoenix]

Not a fan. It so wants to be a catchy power ballad to echo the 80s kind of soundtrack hits but the chorus just doesn’t go there. C-

 

[Jark]

god I fucking love this. wow. a huge smash.

 

[Loufoque]

It's giving me Before I Cry. Paging @funky.

 

[dUb]

What an unpleasant melody!

And that GRATING TONE

It’s a boot
